ITS A MASTERPIECE!! MY HEART FEELS SO FULL!!
I have no words. This has been the best kdrama I have EVER watched! From the story line to the acting, everything!! SO SO GOOD! It felt like I was watching my own life from another perspective which made me connect very deeply with the characters and story. I felt every emotion strongly, and yes I cried A LOT! Since the first episode, and omg that last episode was not for the weak. But despite all the crying, all throughout the drama and especially when I finished, my heart was so full and I felt so inspired and blessed. It was nice to step outside the dream fairytale life other dramas often lead me to aspire that sometimes feels so distant and impossible to reach that everyday life becomes dull and frustrating. Instead, I found myself counting my blessings, wanting to be more patient and loving towards my parents, to work on my attitude towards life, to make better life decisions, to be a better version of me…I learned so much!! 10/10 recommend this drama!Was this review helpful to you?
You'll cry LoL
Truly wonderful. It talks about life, about growing up and also about always being the same inside.I cried in every episode lol. IU doesn't disappoint in the drama. I loved every minute.
I learned something in each episode.
It made me look at myself.
At life.
At people.
At the future.
At motherhood.
At grief.
At how we waste precious moments, without realizing it.
And it hurts to realize this.
This drama was so painful.
And so, so beautiful.

Best drama i have watched so far
Nothing could have prepared me for everything that this drama turned out to be. I went from loving their innocence and love to crying for them to smiling at the warm moments to relating and crying for myself. This made me a mess for 2 days and i loved every second of it.All the actors did a phenomenal job. Specially pbg and iu, they both won my heart. their young innocence to slowing them learning life and maturing, their unwavering love and support for each other throughout, everything was portrayed wonderfully.

The world we live in
The drama is like a reminder of what will happen from one life to another. It’s like a picture of the Past, Present and Future. It’s was really well written and has some really bittersweet moments and some scenes that I just couldn’t stop crying. It’s was really a great drama to watch and love all the cast and crew.

the best dorama
The dorama should be watched by everyone, the best cast, story, characters and all about simple people’s every day life. After watching you will understand what is more valuable in the world. Therefore I recommend it to everyone to watch. I think for reviewing 500 characters are too much. Mow I will start writing spoilers if it will not end. oh my God I start regretting to write this review. when it will end. please finish this review. ok after this sentence if it won’t be accepted I will deete my reviewWas this review helpful to you?
Tangerines
Every episode brought tears to my eyes. I originally came to this drama from a clip on YouTube of her daughter, thinking this drama would be about them, and I was totally wrong. I loved all the couples here. This was such a real and beautifully heart-warming experience.You watch their stages of life, all their struggles and happy moments, and while this is not a happy-go-lucky drama, it is a real one, with the ups and downs of life that are sometimes so painful you don't know how to go on. This will leave you thinking about things, taking things into a new perspective, and so much more.
Expect to bawl your eyes out, but also expect to be drawn in, and to laugh and feel things they felt with them. This drama was an experience, and it deserves all the awards it gets.

The Real life
Today i have completed this , took a long time to watch this masterpiece because of my busy schedule. I have to say this drama is an wonderful life though it was full of emotions flashes but this is how truly people struggle in life get angry but cannot give up on the love for each other. Coming to hero in real life there is no such a person exsting now a days and earlier days, now a days and also ancient days with two wifes or extra Martial affairs or even cheating but the hero with such love without any mixed feelings from childhood to till his death fixing his eyes upon his sweetheart the love of his life. Prince park bo gum innocence face his acting skills was fantabulous no other would have fit for this role this role was specially for park bo gum. Coming to IU very bold and good humor all the rest of the actors whether it is a middle aged version of gwang sik and ae sun was also awesome and scenery was outstanding. This drama shows how we struggle and also cannot become rich in one night even though we work hard there will be struggles for certain time because of heavy responsibilities or certain unexpected challenges in that tough times when it feels like giving up but finding a reason to go on and on until our journey comes to end and suddenly achieving what we have yearned for but suddenly achieving at a different time than ours.Was this review helpful to you?
A healing rollercoaster of emotions <3
WLGYT took me on a breathtaking seven-decade journey, filled with a rollercoaster of emotions and unforgettable life lessons. It reminded me of the immense sacrifices our parents make for us, the importance of treating them with kindness, the power of finding joy amidst hardship, the courage it takes to rise after heartbreak, and the comforting truth that life always moves forward.I found myself bawling my eyes out more than once, as I developed a deep emotional connection with the characters. Each one brought something unique to the story and warmed my heart in their own special way. This was truly a story I needed to see.
I haven’t written a review since 2020, but I felt compelled to share how much this masterpiece meant to me. At a time when I’ve been facing personal struggles, this show brought me unexpected comfort and healing. From the story to the music, the acting, the cinematography—every detail was beautifully executed. Watching it made me cry, yet it also felt like therapy—it reminded me of the importance of persevering through life.
Thank you to the WLGYT cast and team for creating such a touching and unforgettable experience <3

a women centred drama for the mothers and daughters – a story so heartbreaking yet so beautiful.
“when life gives you tangerines” starts from the journey of a mother, who once was a daughter, sure of her space in the world. the young and bold ae-sun, who was ready to have it all for herself and her mother saw her entire life taking a shift before her very eyes after she lost her mother.the story starting from highlighting the struggle of women in patriarchal society that exists to snatch their every dream away from them takes a turn when ae-sun, in her own ways, decides to challenge those norms. her world, even though shattered after losing her mother shapes her daughter’s world.
this drama is about the unconditional love between a family, who despite losing everything, gained their everything. showcasing the portrayal of the sea as both the giver and the taker, it emphasizes on the harsh realities of life and nature no one can win against. the life ae-sun’s daughter grew up dreading was the same life ae-sun was willing to relive all over again as she managed to define her happiness in her own way. the ups and downs of their journey itself teaches a lesson– when one door is closed shut, another one is bound to be open. their life was all about searching for those new opened doors as the uncontrollable forces of life shut the previous ones for them. each member in the family struggling in their own way found their way out of the darkness in some way or the other, and the most dreadful season eventually passed each time it added up to their struggles.
the heartbreaking ending itself roots from the touch of reality; everything is bound to come to an end. what matters the most is that you lived a great life– in no one’s but your own perception. the four volumes, consisting of heartbreak in all forms– the loss of parents, dreams, a child, love, and the sacrifices made concludes with the reflection of love in all its purest forms that eventually make all the hardships seem worth it at the end.

a drama i will hold close to my heart
i cried at every episode and could not stopwhat a story, truly heart breaking
a story abt women and their hardships, true love, a mother's love, the father's love, the dreams and aspirations we all are made of them
to think that aesun's mother's love and determination for her child led to the betterment of two whole generations of people
don't get me started on aesun and gwansik's story, two people giving up their dreams to be together, how they grew up in their love for each other, how they broke toxic cycles to let their children grow. to the very end they were amazing
i even loved geum myeong's story. a eldest daughter's guilt, responsibility, love and the ultimate urge to be your own person. her having enough love for herself so that she could prevent herself from falling into the dangerous cycle that her mother tried so hard to keep her away from, i cried for hours over this.
this drama reminded me so much abt how we all are just humans trying to survive life, trying to not be a burden, trying to give our loved ones our best. i feel like crying every time i think about it.
truly great
