Lively, candid, and determined, she refused, however, to let her hardships entirely dictate her future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next to him is <strong>Yang Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum, and later by Park Hae-joon as an adult)<\/strong>, a quiet, hardworking young man who has always been deeply in love with her. Not one for grand declarations, he shows his affection through constant loyalty and support. Their story spans decades, reflecting the changes in Korean society, financial hardships, bereavements, and the joys of family life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story also extends to their children, including <strong>Yang Geum-myeong (IU)<\/strong>, their daughter, who looks back on her parents\u2019 journey. Spanning several generations, the drama tells both a love story and a tribute to the quiet sacrifices, abandoned dreams, and tenderness of those who came before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact and Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When Life Gives You Tangerines<\/em> has established itself as one of the most acclaimed K-dramas of 2025, particularly for its writing, direction, and performances. The series won <strong>four awards at the 2025 Baeksang Arts Awards<\/strong>, including that of the <strong>Best Drama<\/strong>, from the <strong>Best Screenplay<\/strong>, as well as the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. It also won the <strong>Grand Prize at the Blue Dragon Series Awards<\/strong>, where IU received the award for Best Actress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of 2025, its success had extended to the <strong>APAN Star Awards<\/strong>, including the award for Best Drama, Best Director for Kim Won-seok, and the Daesang for IU. This critical and public acclaim made it one of the most memorable Korean Netflix productions of the year.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1201\" data-id=\"9938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine1-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine1-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine1-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"673\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"9939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine2-scaled.jpg 673w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine2-236x420.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine2-768x1370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine2-7x12.jpg 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"9940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine3-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine3-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"9941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine4.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine4-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine4-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"9942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine5-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kdramakopi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/when-life-gives-you-tangerine5-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":9937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":""},"diffusion":[33],"genre":[49,50,61,65],"statut":[44],"class_list":["post-9936","kdrama","type-kdrama","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","diffusion-33","genre-drame","genre-famille","genre-romance","genre-slice-of-life-vie-quotidienne","statut-termine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
