Big Spoiler? The Actor Rumored as IU’s Husband in ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ Act 3

Netflix’s ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ has unveiled its Act 3 teaser and autumn poster, sparking intense speculation about the identity of Geum-myeong’s husband.

The reveal of a mysterious man’s back in the poster has led fans to believe that actor Kim Seon-ho might be taking on the role.

🍂 Act 3 Focuses on Geum-myeong’s Journey & Love Story

The second act, released on March 14, followed Aesun’s (played by IU and Moon So-ri) childhood and youth. Now, Act 3, set to premiere on March 21, will shift the focus to her daughter, Geum-myeong (played by IU), exploring her growth, struggles, and love life.

As the eldest daughter in a traditional family, Geum-myeong earns a place at a prestigious university and dreams of marrying the man she loves. However, due to societal expectations, she is pressured to sacrifice herself for her partner’s family simply because she is a woman. Her fight to carve out her own path will be at the heart of this upcoming chapter.

The newly released poster features middle-aged Aesun (Moon So-ri), Gwansik (Park Hae-joon), and Geum-myeong. While Aesun smiles warmly, linking arms with Geum-myeong, Gwansik stands beside them, glaring disapprovingly at a young man.

This polite-looking man, seen bowing in front of Geum-myeong, is widely speculated to be her husband.

The theory gained traction after reports surfaced that Kim Seon-ho would be making a special appearance in ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’. Although his role remains undisclosed, fans believe Geum-myeong’s line in the teaser, “You won’t know until you step into the wedding hall,” hints at his involvement.

💍 Who Does Geum-myeong End Up With?

The Act 3 teaser shows Geum-myeong enjoying a sweet romance with Yeongbeom (Lee Jun-young). However, the atmosphere suggests that he may not be her final choice, fueling more curiosity about who she ultimately marries.

The drama has already impressed viewers with memorable special cameos, including Oh Jung-se and Uhm Ji-won in Act 1. Now, with Kim Seon-ho and Kim Sung-ryung rumored to appear, fans are anticipating even more impactful performances in the final chapters.

Act 3 Premieres March 21 on Netflix

Some viewers have even compared the uncertainty surrounding Geum-myeong’s love story to the suspense of the Reply series, expressing how this is the most unpredictable romance storyline in years.

With Act 3 set to drop soon, fans are eagerly awaiting the big reveal of Geum-myeong’s husband—will it really be Kim Seon-ho?
