In 2023, 92-year-old Park Yeong Han, once a revered detective known as the "Columbo of Korea," visits Jongnam Police Station to check on his grandson, Park Jun Seo, a rookie cop. The story shifts to Park Yeong Han's early years in 1958, where he earned fame as a crimefighter in Gyeonggi Province. After transferring to Seoul's Jongnam station, he confronts a powerful gang controlled by political connections and corruption. Undeterred, he uses his wit and experience to uncover smuggling operations and confront the systemic issues plaguing the police force.
Although set in different time periods, When Life Gives You Tangerines and Our Movie share a common essence.
The message that life is worth living despite hardships and even in the face of bitter realities like death, whether of people or dreams is the emotional backbone of both stories. While When Life Gives You Tangerines carries an autobiographical tone, Our Movie unfolds through the lens of metafiction.
Both dramas are rich in symbolism, visually stunning, and accompanied by unforgettable soundtracks.
