WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES...

When Life Gives You Tangerines not only has an amazing story, but also is carried out by the characters so well! It's a drama up to the point! The title, being so suitable for this kind of heartwarming drama. The story is so heartwarming that it can make you cry even through the happiest scenes as it is that moving. The story of Young Gwan Sik and Ae Sun, is the spring of the story, in the sense, the highlight of the drama, this may or may not be only my opinion.

First of all, I loved the first 5 episodes as it was mainly towards young Ae Sun and Gwan Sik... Although I totally lean towards that (IU and Park Bo Gum) the middle age parts wasn't entirely bad either(like most episodes were it)... But one thing is a given, Gwan Sik and Ae Sun played by IU and Park Bo Gum was definitely better!

The drama is set in the 1960's, the beautiful story of Ae Sun and Gwan Sik! Although they go through many hardships, they overcome them together. I don't want to spoil the story at all, as every moment can be cherished in this drama. I am so impressed by Park Bo Gum and IU's chemistry! They are a lit couple! I recommend watching IU's Mini Palette show, with Park Bo Gum, watching the episode, I felt so good!

To those who haven't watched it (WLGYT) yet, please go ahead and watch it now! This beautiful story portrays the ups and down of life, with the short life that we live, which is bittersweet and for we don't know what is upcoming to us, always respecting and caring for our family and loved ones is a must! I know this may sound cringy or whatever, I am just letting my thoughts out. Anyways, this drama gave me a very inspiring experience. Watching each scene, I could feel the hard work put up by the actors! No drama can beat this plot.
