From the U.S. to Taiwan, 'Weak Hero' takes over Netflix worldwide upon Season 2's release
When Life Gives You Tangerines stars IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon share handwritten messages following the K-drama's success.
The Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines has left a deep impression on both Korean and international viewers by delivering laughter, emotion, and empathy. Following the show's successful Netflix run, IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon have shared heartfelt handwritten messages to express their sincere gratitude.
IU, who played dual roles of the young Ae Soon and Ae Soon's daughter Geum Myeong, expressed, "Thank you so much for joining us on When Life Gives You Tangerines. I hope this series remains like a warm tangerine tea that you sip for a long, long time. Let's live well!"
Park Bo Gum, who played the steadfast Gwan Sik, shared his thanks: "I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who journeyed through the four seasons of When Life Gives You Tangerines with us. In life where the seasons — spring, summer, fall, and winter — come without order, I hope this work becomes a source of warmth, like early-season fish, meat, blooming flowers, the Dohui-jeong Scholarship, rice that doesn't run out, barley beans, and a warm night."
Moon So Ri, who delivered a heartfelt performance as middle-aged Ae Soon — who goes from being a reserved literature girl with dreams of becoming a poet to a strong and resilient mother — shared, "I'm truly grateful to everyone who laughed and cried with When Life Gives You Tangerines. When life wears you down and hunger sets in, when you find yourself longing for a bit of warmth and comfort, I hope this becomes a series you can take out, watch again and again — a story that stays by your side for a long time."
Park Hae Joon, who played the middle-aged Gwan Sik, a man who lived his life with sincerity and steadfastness, wrote, "I hope this series becomes something you can revisit, episode by episode when life feels hard and exhausting — something that becomes a kind of shelter. And I hope we can all make room for one another, so none of us are alone. If things go wrong — ppakku!!!"
When Life Gives You Tangerines unfolds the story of the rebellious yet endearing Ae Soon and the diligent Gwan Sik as they navigate the seasons of life, facing challenges and trials along the way. The K-drama is streaming on Netflix.
