Surpassing 10K Views in Just an Hour: Netflix’s New Series Showing Signs of a Mega Hit!

Netflix’s highly anticipated new series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' has officially released its main trailer, offering a glimpse into its heartfelt and adventurous narrative.

Set in Jeju Island during the 1960s, the drama follows Ae-soon (played by IU) and Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum) as they navigate life’s unpredictable journey through the four seasons. With its nostalgic yet vibrant storytelling, the series is already generating buzz among K-drama fans.

The newly released trailer opens with Ae-soon and Gwan-sik strolling through a field of flowers. Ae-soon animatedly talks about her dreams, her spirited nature contrasting sharply with Gwan-sik’s quiet and steadfast demeanor, a dynamic that immediately draws viewers in.

Adding to the intrigue, Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon portray the older versions of Ae-soon and Gwan-sik, teasing a deeper look into the characters’ later years and the evolution of their relationship. The series is set to capture the ups and downs of life, much like the ever-changing seasons of Jeju and Seoul.

Alongside the trailer, Netflix also unveiled new character stills, featuring a youthful Ae-soon in her school uniform and Gwan-sik gazing at her with affection. The stills also showcase the talented ensemble cast that brings their story to life.

Veteran actresses Kim Yong-rim and Na Moon-hee will portray Gwan-sik and Ae-soon’s grandmothers, adding emotional depth to the drama with their seasoned performances. The cast also includes Uhm Hye-ran as Ae-soon’s mother, Kye-ok, and Oh Min-ae as Gwan-sik’s mother, Gwang-rye, along with Choi Dae-hoon, Jang Hye-jin, and other notable actors who are expected to deliver a compelling ensemble performance.

Fans are particularly excited as this marks IU’s reunion with director Kim Won-seok, who previously helmed the acclaimed tvN drama 'My Mister.' Premiered in 2018, 'My Mister' told the moving story of three middle-aged brothers and a young woman who find solace in one another despite their struggles. Though the drama initially faced controversy, it ultimately became one of the most beloved healing dramas of its time, earning praise for its raw storytelling and emotional depth.

With 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' set to premiere on April 7, anticipation is high for IU and Park Bo-gum’s on-screen chemistry and the nostalgic, heartwarming story that awaits.
