“In life, you never know what will happen unless you go for it...
It would’ve been a shame if I’d given up halfway through it.”
- Oh Ae-sun
Mostly people watching this drama were crying a lot, as for me the last few eps already made me cry because I could feel the sad and bittersweet ending with this drama. It was really such a masterpiece, as it was all about family, grown by an independent woman, Ae sun, who's dreams are falling apart, but part of her progress was thankfully to her one and only mother who also bring her tragedy and her hopes and dreams, carrying her haenyo hardworking mother's luck from her past. One thing that really highlights was how this drama was a slice of life and how it really gives resemblance to the older generation's past experiences and challenges, as the writer recommends the oldies in their 70's or 80's to watch this series because it was all dedicated to them. Even if the story was not aligned to my generation today, but I could really feel the heartbreaking and challenges that even my grandmother or my mother experienced. It was not just about love and relationships of growing one family, but it is how womanhood brings generation and memories where they would cherish until the last day. It was a wonderful story, about how life goes on, and how tangerines represents life and finding joy in life and resilience in most difficult times. The drama would also like to initiate and gives message where life still goes on, no matter the challenges encountered, and the unexpected turns that comes in into your life anytime in your time of growing.
I would also comment on their cinematography, the blue-themed drama where it all started with its transition of the character's habits and then how the director is also creative in terms of color blending of its scenes and the setup of the scene as well. It really inspires me to make an own story, and as well as how it gives so much atmosphere with the drama.
I also really love the cast, and how they really made this drama very special in a different way. The selection of the cast by the director and writer was all worth it, especially all of them (starting from the haenyo halmoji's) where they really give justice and passion from this drama. I really am passionate and very interested with Lee Ji Eun's roles in every drama, especially this series was really special for me and her, and even all the halmoni's who wanted to feel the comfort and love through the story slowly unfolds in each volume. Lee Ji Eun and Park Bo Gum did so well with their characters, the resemblance in their older days as the story goes by really gives so much memories and passion on how the characters itself developed through their years and ages. I really appreciate (again) the cast who did their roles at their best, and I really thanked them for their efforts and how they made me really bawled my eyes out crying in the middle of the night.
Overall, I would not be saying so much with this drama, as I also thought of how this drama would give so much impact to the older generations and as me craving for comfort and slice-of-life drama about life is still going on, achieving that dream no matter the circumstances are unexpectedly come. Really a great watch, binge watchable, rewatchable and really recommended to anyone looking for relatable life dramas like this. I am so emotional in terms of dramas like this, because I have been craving for comfort, but not just romance, but also slice of life and youth dramas. It has been my favorite genres, but this drama I would never forget how I am not yet late of its end release and how I keep up with the updates despite getting a bit spoiled. On the positive side, looking forward to the cast's future roles, esp. to lee ji eun and park bo gum's drama project selection!! <333
