When Life Gives You Tangerines

“When Life Gives You Tangerines is a raw Korean drama that follows a couple’s life journey on Jeju Island from the 1950s through the 2000s. It’s emotional, heartbreaking, hopeful, and beautifully human. Bring tissues… you’re going to need them. Bonus: watch it the way it was meant to be… in Korean. Don’t dub over these emotions. The original voices, the little nuances, and the way the characters express themselves are part of what makes this drama so special.”

“I don't think I've ever watched a show that made me think this much about my parents' lives before I came along. When Life Gives You Tangerines follows one family across generations in Jeju, and it's beautiful. The original Korean title is a Jeju expression that means “Thank you for all your hard work.””
