The Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines" spans 65 years in the lives of characters Ae-sun and Gwan-sik, exploring their deep connection through unspoken acts of affection. Set in 1960s Jeju Island, the show highlights the harsh realities faced by women, represented through the struggles of the haenyeo divers, who are the breadwinners yet lack recognition or equality. With lead performances by IU and Park Bo-gum, the drama contrasts Ae-sun's vibrant spirit with Gwan-sik's nurturing strength, illustrating how they navigate life's challenges together without always voicing their feelings.
In the new Netflix drama, tangerines are synonymous with making lemonade, adapting to life's challenges and turning sour experiences into comfort, as depicted through the characters' lives.
Her character, Ae-sun, isn't an easy person. She's a brilliant girl trapped on 1960s Jeju Island in South Korea, a time and place that undervalues women.
