IU Reveals Kim Seon Ho Did Something Amazing that Wasn’t Even in the Script — Fans are Praising His next-level Acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines"
IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!
On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”
The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.
IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying, “They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”
She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying, “There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”
IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said, “Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.” Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”
Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop. He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”
IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked, “That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?” Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”
That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed, “There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”
Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.
Netizens reacted by saying:
“Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
“IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
“Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
“This cast is full of talent and heart.”
It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
