Park Bo Gum’s role in When Life Gives You Tangerines has nearly vanished, leaving fans surprised.

On March 21, Netflix dropped Act 3 (Episodes 9-12) of When Life Gives You Tangerines, shifting the focus to Ae Soon (Moon So Ri), Gwan Sik (Park Hae Joon), and their daughter Geum Myeong (IU) as they grow older.

However, despite being the male lead, Park Bo Gum appears for less than two minutes in the new episodes.

His only fresh scene comes at the end of Episode 10, while Episode 11 simply replays an old flashback.

Fans who were looking forward to seeing more of him in the later half of the drama are now disappointed.

Meanwhile, Geum Myeong’s boyfriend, Young Beom (Lee Jun Young), takes on a bigger role, and Kim Seon Ho’s character gets more screen time as he grows closer to Geum Myeong. Throughout all four episodes, Kim Seon Ho’s presence remains steady, making him a key figure in the story.

With Park Bo Gum standing out in the first half of the drama, it seems that Lee Jun Young and Kim Seon Ho are now taking over the spotlight. Industry insiders had already hinted that Park Bo Gum’s role would be strongest in Acts 1 and 2, meaning his screen time likely won’t increase in Act 4 either.

When Life Gives You Tangerines is a 16-episode drama, with Act 3 released on March 21 and the final Act 4 (Episodes 13-16) set to premiere on March 28.

Park Bo Gum is set to hold an interview on March 24 to talk about the drama, but since this happens before Act 4 airs, it seems his role is already finished.

With his sudden absence, viewers are now wondering if Lee Jun Young and Kim Seon Ho can fill the gap.
