When Life Gives You Tangerines is a heartfelt story that pays tribute to parents, their youth, and the unforgettable memories they created. The plot revolves around Ae Sun (played by IU), a rebellious yet endearingly anxious young woman with dreams of becoming a poet. However, her family circumstances prevented her from attending school.
On the other hand, Gwan Sik (played by Park Bo Gum) is a hardworking and reserved individual. While romance isn’t his strong suit, he has always been there for Ae Sun since childhood in his own quiet way. When she cries, he cries. When she laughs, he shares in her joy, expressing love in his unique manner.
Directed by Kim Won Suk and written by Im Sang Choon, the drama consists of 16 episodes. It premiered on March 7, 2025, and is set to conclude on March 28, 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting each new episode to see how Ae Sun and Gwan Sik’s journey unfolds.
