An elderly Ae-sun remembers her childhood with her mother, Jeon Gwan-rye, a hard-working but poor haenyeo, and Yang Gwan-sik, a timid boy with an obvious crush on her that follows her around the village. Although Gwan-rye initially believes that Ae-sun would have the best opportunity to succeed in life if she lived with her late husband's wealthier family, upon reading a poem that Ae-sun wrote showing her love for her mother and being angered by her former family-in law's treatment of her, she brings her daughter to live with her and her step-family. However, Gwan-rye develops a breathing illness from her work diving. Before she passes she request that Ae-sun never work as a haenyeo or live as a maid and make the most of her life.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]The series was developed under the working title Life (Korean: 인생; RR: Insaeng) directed by Kim Won-seok[22] and written by Lim Sang-choon marking her return after writing the 2019 KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms. In December 2022, production designer Ryu Seong-hie mentioned that the series was one of her new projects.[23]
The production cost is reported to be around ₩60 billion.[24][5] Aside from filming in Jeju, the drama was also filmed in Andong in 2023.[25]
Casting
[edit]
On January 27, 2023, IU and Park Bo-gum were confirmed to be cast in the roles of main characters Ae-sun and Gwan-sik respectively.[5] This is the second collaboration between Kim Won-seok and IU after the 2018 tvN drama series My Mister.[22] On January 30, 2023, Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon were officially confirmed to play the older versions of Ae-sun and Gwan-sik, respectively. This marks the fourth collaboration between Park Hae-joon and director Kim, following their partnerships on tvN dramas Misaeng: Incomplete Life, My Mister, and Arthdal Chronicles.[26]
Choi Dae-hoon was also confirmed as part of the cast, and it was reported that filming for the series would commence in March 2023.[10] On March 10, 2023, the casting of Na Moon-hee and Kim Yong-rim was announced.[8] In March 15, 2023, Lee Jun-young's casting was confirmed.[27] The first script reading for the cast members took place on March 7, 2023. Among the actors in attendance were IU, Park Bo-gum, Lee Jun-young, Choi Dae-hoon, Na Moon-hee, and Kim Yong-rim.[28][27]
On May 12, 2023, Lee Soo-kyung's casting was confirmed.[16] Baek Ji-won's casting was confirmed on June 23, 2023,[29] followed by Oh Jeong-se's confirmation on July 25, 2023.[30] Jeong Yi-seo's casting was confirmed on August 24, 2023.[31] Lee Soo-mi's casting was confirmed on September 5, 2023.[32] In an interview with Yeom Hye-ran on September 16, 2023, it was revealed that the series would be her next work.[9] On July 27, 2023, it was reported that Kim Seon-ho would make a guest appearance.[33]
Title
[edit]Korean
[edit]The original Korean title, Pokssak sogatsuda (Korean: 폭싹 속았수다), was revealed on January 27, 2023. The title is a Jeju language verb for "thank you for your hard work".[5] In Jeju language, sokda (Korean: 속다), which forms a part of sogatsuda (Korean: 속았수다), means "trying hard", "taking the trouble" or "having a hard time".[34] Coincidentally, sokda is a linguistic false friend to the standard Korean word for "be deceived", "be cheated" or "be fooled", so Pokssak sogatsuda could be misinterpreted as the standard Korean translation for "heavily fooled".[34]
Translations
[edit]The English title, When Life Gives You Tangerines, was announced on January 30, 2023,[35] and is a word play on the proverb "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade";[36] the fruit that grows in Jeju Island is mandarin orange, however. The Chinese title, Kǔjìngānlái Yùjiànnǐ (Chinese: 苦盡柑來遇見你; lit. 'I finally get to meet you after enduring hardship'), similarly plays on the Chinese proverb Kǔjìngānlái (Chinese: 苦盡甘來; lit. 'After the bitterness comes sweetness'); here, the Chinese character for either "mandarin orange" or "tangerine" (Chinese: 柑; pinyin: gān) replaces similarly sounded character for "sweetness" (Chinese: 甘; pinyin: gān) in the original proverb.[36] Per Yonhap News Agency, a representative for Netflix's Globalisation Team stated that "When giving a title in English, the goal is to localise the creator's intention and cultural nuance in the original title to suit the culture of English-speaking countries".[36]
Release
[edit]In April 2023, it was announced that PAN Entertainment signed a production contract with Netflix,[37][38] and the series was planned to be released in 190 countries in 2024 through the platform.[39][40] On January 30, 2024, media outlets shared the script reading photos of the drama and confirm its exclusive release on Netflix worldwide.[41] In January 2025, Netflix confirmed the release date of the series to be on March 7.[42]
Reception
[edit]The series was a domestic and international hit,[43] and was even praised by the Chinese Communist Party-owned daily tabloid Global Times despite Netflix's unavailability in the region.[44] It received plaudits for its performances, screenplay, and direction,[45][46] and has been favorably compared to the acclaimed period drama Reply 1988 (2015–16), also starring Park Bo-gum, for eliciting nostalgia and warmth rooted in the Korean experience.[47][48][49]
India Today stated that the series "isn't just a love story, nor is it merely a historical drama. It's a meditation on time, on love, and on the quiet labor of care that stretches across lifetimes."[50] Per South China Morning Post the series "masterfully bridged past and present, blurring the line between nostalgic reverie and pressing reality" calling it "one of the very best K-dramas of all time – and quite possibly the most Korean of them all."[51]
Leads IU and Park Bo-gum topped topicality indices before and after the series aired.[52][53][54] Park Bo-gum's portrayal of Gwan-sik was widely popular leading to media outlets calling it "Gwan-sickness".[55][56][57] It also started a viral challenge on social media called "My Own Gwan-sik" where fans post about their partners, husbands, and fathers behaving like the character.[58]
