The continuing Netflix K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, featuring IU and Park Bo-Gum within the lead, is receiving much love from the audience. Nonetheless, while IU will be seen in almost every episode as she plays Oh Ae-Sun (the mother) and Guem Myung’s (the daughter) characters, Park Bo-Gum has quite a limited screen space as Yang Gwan-Sik’s younger version within the series.
This sparked discussions amongst netizens, leading some to speak concerning the unfairness. Nonetheless, the 2 lead stars recently collaborated on the Hotel del Luna actress’ YouTube channel talk show, where they addressed the scenario. On March 22, IU posted a video on her channel titled Mini Palette/ Sweet Chemistry with Bo-Gum, wherein they discussed their working experience.
In the course of the conversation, Park Bo-Gum and IU discussed their feelings toward the series When Life Gives You Tangerines. Regarding Episode 13, the actress said, “I cried a lot. Seeing scenes I hadn’t seen before, especially as Aesoon and Gwansik get older, made me tear up.” Bo-Gum, however, expressed his gratitude for the audience’s response and opened up about his reduced screen time.
Park Bo-Gum explained, “Many individuals congratulated me but in addition wished there have been more scenes of my buzz-cut days and Aesoon’s short bob era. The story quickly moves into our roles as parents, but I tell my friends to maintain watching because we still appear throughout.” IU further added that the audience would see a whole lot of flashbacks in the remainder of the episodes and shared, “Our storytelling approach is exclusive. Even from episode one, the primary scene starts with the older Ae Sun. For many who miss our younger selves, we’re still there, so please stick with us until the tip.”
For the unversed, the songstress plays Oh Ae-Sun within the drama from her early teens till her thirties. Later, Moon So-Ri takes over and portrays the character beautifully in its 40s and 50s. Then again, Park Bo-Gum will be seen playing the younger version of Yang Gwan-Sik while Park Hae-Joon takes over the much older version of the character. In When Life Gives You Tangerines, IU will be next seen as Guem Myung, Ae-Sun and Gwan-Sik’s elder daughter.
When asked which character the actress would favor as she plays each the mother and daughter, IU said, “After all, Ae-Sun. I’m each Ae-Sun and Geum-Myung, aren’t I? I understand Geum-Myung too, but when she says something a bit of harsh, it seems like she’s talking to me and that hurts. Ae-Sun went through a whole lot of sadness from a young age. Her school life, the era she lived in—it was all tough. That’s why I are inclined to lean more emotionally toward Ae-Sun.”
