The Drama That Found Me When I Didn’t Know I Needed It
I didn’t know it was possible to cry so many times watching a single drama, but this one proved me wrong in the most unforgettable way.
I started 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' while going through a lot of inner turmoil. I was slowly giving up—on life, on myself. But this story helped me see things from a new perspective. It reminded me that even the smallest things in life can bring happiness... if the person who truly loves you stays by your side.
I already had high expectations after hearing great reviews from friends, but this drama went beyond anything I could have imagined. It didn’t just tell a story—it lived it. And it made me live it too.
This isn’t just a tale of love. It’s a reflection on family, on sacrifice, and the quiet pain that so many of us carry. It shows the love of parents who give everything for their children’s happiness, even if it goes unnoticed. And it also reflects the sadness and confusion children often feel—when life feels unfulfilled, when we feel like we aren’t enough. But through it all, this drama reminds us: everything our parents do, even when it feels overwhelming, comes from a place of indescribable love.
No matter your age, this story will touch you. It paints the struggles of every generation, and somehow finds a way to bring them all together in one beautifully woven narrative.
And the characters… oh, the characters. Gwan Sik and Ae Sun’s love is something that can’t be described with words. It warmed my heart and shattered it all at once. The men in this drama showed a kind of gentleness and strength that I can only hope to find in a partner one day.
This drama was nothing short of perfection. It made me reflect on my own life, the people I’ve loved and lost, and the parts of myself I’m still learning to forgive. It reminded me that the people who truly love us—our parents, our chosen family—are often right there, just quietly waiting for us to see them.
It’s not just a drama. It’s a piece of art. One I want to keep fresh in my memory, always.
