It's th first time I am seeing the actor who did TAGON. Shoots out of the ball park.
And Song Joong Ki!!! He SLAYS the ROLE of both Saya and Eunsom. He makes SUCH A CLEAR boundary between the TWO. IMO this is one the BEST roles he did EVER. I have seen ALL his older dramas and some of the newer ones ..
I am usually not a Kim Ji Won fan .. BUT here SHE TOO SLAYS it .. I am seeing her with new eyes ..
OK I HAVE to give the ENTIRE cast a salut - each and everyone is written with SUCH CARE and delivered with such fine tuning ..
I AM SO HAPPY I am watching this in 2025. Without a GOT hangover LOL
IMO its one of the reasons that contributed to it not getting >9 rating amongst historic, fantasy loving audience ..
I am a Johnny come lately to the show .. Gobsmacked that something this beautiful and complex existed on Kdrama and I'd missed it all these years.
Yes it can ONLY be enjoyed by those who love world building dramas which is based on the historic arc of Human kind and Civilisation in general ..
Using a fictitious world to examine and think about the BIG questions of Life and what it has meant to be human as we moved up the ladder of cognitive evolution.
To say is it's REFRESHING is an understatement .. Has shot up to the TOP of my personal BEST DRAMA LEADERBOARD .. WOW!!

Is there a strong (medium) romance woven into the main plot - without which the drama won't work?? HAS it as part of the structure even though it cant be called a strict romance drama .. Since It's not in the tag .. I ask.
Often dramas don't tag romance BUT during watch I find that it's a story engine also ..
just want to set my expectations correctly- is this a slow burn where the romance is second seat a lot of business…
Umm, you could say that .. But their relationship is an intrinsic part of the drama .. you can't scalpel it away and still get the same drama .. it will fall apart .. it's as much the sinews of the drama as the business - both aspects grow together .. and face challenges ..
Both the characters have an arc that cannot be removed from their work nor their relationship.
So I wouldn't say this drama is romance focused .. but without it the the tent won't hold.
I can't recall which episode .. because it creeps up on them bit by bit. But probably midway (which is the Drama standard in most cases).
Lastly IMO this drama will be enjoyed by those who get gripped by the 'business' side of the story too .. if that is feeling like a 'bore' then this drama will not work for them.
If you watched L&P you may get the drift (although L&P is slightly stronger focused on the relationship aspect .. just slightly) - many people were annoyed with the drama because they wanted to watch 'romancing' .. It's also a drama where you have to feel involved in the 'business' aspect ..
LOL TMI??
Skip it if you plan to watch for 'romance' .. Watch it if you are looking for character growth, business growth and failure, relationship 'growth' and change.
And Song Joong Ki!!!

True ..
I was didn't want the the series to end (I just finished the 3rd part last night) .. looking forward to watching the 4th (2023 season).
I am JUST SO HAPPY that the 10/10 reviews are THE MOST POPULAR and NOT one by a poor rater (palms together)

I followed the trail of the director of When Life Gives You Tangerines.
He's a super genius diva in his skill.
What a script and what actors
🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️💞💞🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Thank God I did not watch this when it was airing😅
The wait of the drop would have killed me with gastritis 😂😂😂😂
I never knew a classic like this existed 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
I am watching a very sweet heart squishy KDrama:
When Life Gives you Tangerines

Love this hairstyle on him - beautiful
