"When Life Gives You Tangerines" (Vietnamese title: When Life Gives You Tangerines) is currently a Korean film that is receiving a lot of attention from audiences across Asia. The film is attractive not only because of the participation of IU (as Ae Soon) and Park Bo Gum (as Gwan Shik) but also because of its healing content.
In the latest episode of "When Life Is for You", Ae Soon and Gwan Shik lost their youngest son due to a fierce storm that hit the village. The scene of Ae Soon panicking and taking the body of her cold son brought tears to the audience, especially those who have become parents.
As a father, Gwan Shik was also devastated by the storm that took away his beloved son. However, Gwan Shik still had to struggle to complete the death certificate for his deceased son. The details of the father trying to suppress the tears and his trembling hands writing his son's name on the death certificate once again touched the hearts of the audience.
However, what the audience noticed in this scene was Gwan Shik's thin hands when they trembled and touched Dong Myeong's son's name for the last time. As an actor, Park Bo Gum would hardly have such a pair of wheelie hands, and the film crew's search for a stunt double received many compliments.
Although it was just a few seconds long, the meticulousness of the team in every little detail was praised.
Currently, "When Life Is for You Tangerine" is dominating the chart in Korea. In the Ranking published by Gooddata, "When Life Is for You" with the main actors IU and Park Bo Gum climbed to the top 1 in the film and actor category.
In the international market, "When Life Is for You" is in the top 10 films of Netflix. The film also ranked No. 1 in many Asian countries such as Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.
