When Life Gives You Tangerines

When a rebellious young woman who refuses to play by the rules collides with life’s harshest struggles, will one true love be enough to keep her afloat?

This drama follows the life of a young woman, born to a female diver against a backdrop of poverty and relentless hardship. From the very beginning, fate has dealt her a cruel hand: first, her mother marries another man and abandons her to a household that treats her like a servant, and then society itself despises her for simply being who she is. Amid all this pain, her only real solace is the unwavering friendship of a neighbor who has always stood by her side, no matter what. As they grow older, their bond only deepens. Will they manage to find love, family, and belonging—or will life’s burdens finally break their spirits? Watch to find out.

My Review….

I think this is one of those stories that seizes your heart and simply refuses to let go. Trust me—you’ll need plenty of tissues, because the tears just keep on coming. It’s both extraordinary and devastating, though I have to admit I found the mother’s storyline even more gripping than the daughter’s. The conflicts, while painfully raw, tend to resolve in a grand, larger-than-life manner that might stretch believability, but it makes for riveting storytelling nonetheless. And let me just say, the romance here is nothing short of amazing—it’s tender, passionate, and sure to leave you breathless. The cast delivers stellar performances, despite a few arcs that might feel a bit unnecessary. But if you can look past that, you’ll find a drama tailor-made for anyone who loves heartfelt, poignant tales. In the end, the decision to watch or skip is yours—but if you do take the plunge, prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.
