When Life Gives You Tangerines Review - ZyKuu
"A young couple from an island experience the fruits of life side by side" - The story was very realistic as we witness the main couple experience life across many decades. I found the plot to be very lengthy and the only issue with me was the pacing, but all together it was a beautiful story of life that was told. This show does a amazing job at portraying the inconsistencies of life. Oh Ae-sun (Young) / Yang Geum-myeong is an incredibly talented actress. She was able to perform both roles excellently.
Yang Gwan-sik (Young) was an amazing actor himself, he demonstrated what it truly meant to be a father and husband. Hopefully many people look up to his character and draw inspiration from him. Oh Ae-sun (Old) and Yang Gwan-sik (Old) were also terrific in portraying their roles. Both Park Chung-seop & Park Yeong-beom did well in their reduced roles during the screen time they had as well. The OST was decent, it fit in with the theme of the show but nothing in particular stood out for me. I would say that this show is more catered towards an older audience as I feel it would be more relatable to those who have been battle tested through life already. All in all, this show was very impactful and does a tremendous job at telling the story of life!
