When Life Gives You Tangerines, starring Park Bo-Gum and IU, has been the talk of town lately since it gives us a lot to think about! Here are the things from the last several episodes that really stayed with us:

  1. Do Not Give Up On Love: Ae-sun and Gwan-sik's growing friendship serves as an example of how bonds can strengthen over time as a result of shared experiences and personal development. Their story highlights the difficulties of love and dedication over many years.
  2. Perseverance In The Face Of Adversity: The Kdrama highlights the value of resilience in the face of challenges faced in life. Life is like making sweet marmalade from bitter tangerines just like the title suggests, represents finding sweetness and courage in difficult times.
  3. You Deserve The Love: We all have that one person that is there for us no matter what, much like Ae-Sun had Yang Gwang-Sik by her side during every stage of her life. It is then your responsibility to acknowledge, cherish, and never take them for granted.
  4. Only You Are Responsible For YOU: In exchange for Ae-Sun staying and helping to raise his kids, her stepfather promises to pay for her education. However, he leaves her when the time comes, so she has to leave. This emphasizes the harsh reality that you are ultimately alone accountable for yourself.
  5. Do NOT Lose Hope: Without any money, a house or even a job, Ae-Sun and Gwan-Sik find themselves thrown into the unpleasant reality of the big city as they leave Jeju for Busan. The first night they are there, they are robbed. They teach us the value of sticking up for ourselves and refusing to allow the outside world control us, though, by fighting back instead of giving up.
