Although it has ended, the film "When Life Is for You" still receives great love from fans. In particular, the scene where the groom Park Chung Seop (Kim Seon Ho) pretended to faint and smiled in a flash when he saw the bride Geum Myeong (IU) continue to cause a fever.
Kim Seon Ho's handsome face and cheerful smile are praised for being completely different from his charming appearance when he first appeared in previous episodes of the show. His 3-second scene became an extremely hot trend and was named "Kim Seon Ho smile challenge" by the Chinese online community.
A series of Chinese stars such as Tran Phi Vu, Trang Dat Phi, Bach Loc, Tran Triet Vien... have quickly "followed" this trend. If Tran Triet Vien invested in the setting, lighting and wearing a fancy vest to film a video and posted it on Douyin, Bach Loc would only quickly reenact this scene when interacting with fans.
Tran Phi Vu - Trang Dat Phi together made "Kim Seon Ho smile challenge" during the promotion of the newly aired film " Eat, Run, Love" and were loved by many people because they were so beautiful.
Chinese netizens also actively posted a video of a performance of this scene on their personal Douyin. This trend- initiating video comes from the Xiaoyu Dailys channel account, which currently has more than 1.3 million likes and thousands of comments.
Previously, Kim Seon Ho was turned away by the audience after the scandal of forcing his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion. Although he tried to return to the screen with "The tyrant", he still encountered many conflicting controversial opinions.
It was not until "When Life For You Tangerines" aired that he regained the audience's sympathy. The image of Park Chung Seop, a poor and talented artist who has a silent love for Geum Myeong, the daughter of the female lead Ae Sun, makes fans excited.
It can be said that this is a spectacular rise for the handsome actor's career on the brink of abyss.
When Life Gives You a tangerine is set on Jeju Island in the 1960s, telling the life of many challenges, ups and downs but never falling behind the poor girl who wanted to become poet Ae Sun (IU) and the quiet but reliable guy Gwan Sik (Park Bo Gum).
The film received 8 nominations at the 61st Baeksang Awards, including Best Television Series; Best Director (Kim Won Seok); Best Screenwriter (Lim Sang Choon); Best Actor/Actress (Park Bo Gum, IU); Best Supporting Actress (Choi Dae Hoon, Yeom Hye Ran) and Best New Actress (Kim Tae Yeon).
When Life Is for You is also at the top of Netflixs weekly chart for non-English-language programs globally.
