It’s unfortunate that K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines starring Park Bo Gum and IU is airing on Netflix because if it aired domestically on either television or cable there would be ratings to gauge how popular this drama is, and from what I can see this story is straight up catnip for South Korean tastes. The first look at the two leads in character as high school students in Jeju Island in the 1950’s is out and both look soooooo cute and charming in that old fashioned way. It’s evoking Answer Me 1988 vibes for me with Bo Gum and IU rocks the bowl cut hairdo in an unreal way.
