The feeling is like bittersweet kind of feeling..
The wolf kind of remind me of my lovely dog, his undying love, loyalty, etc. I can relate very well how the werewolf boy behave with his owner (in this case the girl that he loves), just like my lovely doggy (his name is levi), levi always wait patiently for me, if i asked him to sleep outside, he will sleep just outside of my bedroom's door. His gaze is always upon me lol. Always following me around.
Actually cannot compare the story of this werewolf boy with dog, of course. But the loyalty is there, human needs to feel ashamed of their own action. Human has too many complicated issues in life, such as money, greed, power, etc that makes them not to follow their heart, because of one ignorant and selfish person, it could make other people's fate miserable. Haiz..
Anyway, this is such a good movie, i recommend to watch is while there is raining outside just like me, i watched it in the rainy day, it makes my mood melancholic... with a good combination of this OST, ugh.. my heart aches even more..

This show matches it’s title, life indeed tastes like tangerine
Tangerines generally taste sweet and slightly sour, with a hint of bitterness. That’s how this show tries to capture what life is as common people. Life is full up and down, sometimes your life is prosperous, sometimes you got big problems and some external situations that you can’t control in life which affect the life of people in that time. What matters more is our reaction and our relationship with people who matter to us the most, which is our families and close friends. Just like how my brother said: “that’s life!”The show is talking about the life of 3 women in a span of 80 years. From grandmother, mother and daughter until the grandchildren appears in their life. Mainly talking about this ae sun’s character. Her life is full pf challenges but she is lucky to have someone who loves her dearly since childhood. She is also lucky to have a mother who loved her so much with her own way. The villagers also helped her during tough times in their own way too. Here, we see that there are many different characters of human who can change, who we think are not sweet initially but turn out they are sweet in their own way. They also help ae sun with their own way.
The most important thing is ae sun and gwang sik’s character, how tough they are, despite life can turn out to be bitter, but their love outshines the bad situation. They defend each other. They know who they are, so they act according to their strength to overcome many situations. Their character that makes people respect and help them especially gwang sik’s kindness, his kindness always comes back to pay him later on. It shows and teaches people that you need to be gracious no matter what your situation is. Their act of kindness even save their daughter in the future. How amazing this story to let us see that karma is working. Some people become unhappy and not peaceful because of bad things they do. Meanwhile people who are kind will always get respected and treated good especially by their families.
The show is also showing family relationship dynamic, even an act of kindness can hurt the one we love. It shows that there are many misunderstandings even in the family. So we have to communicate and talk honestly with each other even though it hurts but it will heal us instead of not communicating can just burry problems in heart.
There are no fillers in the show, every episode and scene has its own meaning. This series also shows another lesson that different era has different difficulties, people have different thoughts because of the way they were raised. Their background, their education, family’s expectation etc. it’s so worth it. You won’t regret watching this. It has raised another standard in kdrama. Bravo to the writers.
