IU and Park Bo Gum are making fans even more excited for When Life Gives You Tangerines!

On March 22, IU’s YouTube channel 이지금 uploaded a new video featuring the two stars talking about their drama.

IU shared, “The big reason we’re here today is 'When Life Gives You Tangerines'. We have to talk about the drama we starred in together! How far have you watched?”

She then revealed, “I watched up to episode 13 last night and cried so much. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were swollen. The story now focuses on the older Ae Soon and Gwan Shik, and there were scenes I hadn’t seen before. They made me cry so much.”

Park Bo Gum, who watched up to episode 12, praised the drama, saying, “You did so well, and the senior actors really brought everything together. Every single character feels so alive, and I’m just grateful and in awe of that.”

IU then reassured fans, “We haven’t seen everything yet, have we? The older Ae Soon and Gwan Shik are amazing. There’s even a brief flashback of us in episode 13. It really feels like one continuous character.”

Park Bo Gum also talked about fans’ reactions to his screen time, sharing, “My friends and acquaintances congratulated me but also said they wished there were more scenes of my shaved-head days and Ae Soon’s short bob era."

She added, "They also wanted to see more of us raising Geum Myung and becoming parents. But at the same time, they’re curious about Ae Soon and Gwan Shik as parents. And we do keep appearing bit by bit, right? So I just want to tell everyone to stay tuned until the end.”

IU added, “We still appear frequently, right? The way our drama unfolds is quite unique. If anyone feels it’s a bit lacking, don’t worry—keep watching. We’ll continue to show up.”

Meanwhile, When Life Gives You Tangerines tells the life story of Ae Soon, a fearless rebel born in Jeju, and Gwan Shik, a devoted iron-willed man, as they navigate their adventurous lives across the four seasons.

The When Life Gives You Tangerines cast melted fans’ hearts once again — this time off-screen!

On April 15, the VIP premiere of the film Yadang took place at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and it quickly turned into a Poksak reunion.

The event was already buzzing with big names like Uhm Tae Woong (who made his first appearance in 8 years), Lee Min Ho, Ha Ji Won, Lee Joo Young, Hyeri, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Sung Kyun, and even Single’s Inferno 4's Lee Si An.

But the surprise appearance of severalWhen Life Gives You Tangerines cast members made fans super emotional.

IU, who played Gwansik’s daughter Geum Myeong in the Netflix series, was spotted quietly entering the theater wearing a mask. A fan who noticed her shared a photo, writing, “Poksak daughter Geum Myeong is here!”

Kim Seon Ho also showed up and quickly got attention. Fans recognized him despite the mask and commented, “Chung Seop is here too!” and “Park Hae Joon’s son-in-law came!” Kim Seon Ho made a special appearance in the series as Geum Myeong’s husband.

Kang Yoo Seok, who played Eun Myeong Yi (Gwansik’s son), also came to support his on-screen dad. Fans left sweet comments like “The son is so thoughtful!”

And of course, Choi Dae Hoon — better known as “Hak Ssi Ahjussi” — made fans smile with his bright energy. People couldn’t stop talking about him, saying things like “He came to see his in-laws’ movie,” and “The whole When Life Gives You Tangerines family is here!”

Before the event, Park Hae Joon shared in an interview with Xports News that he wasn’t sure who would show up, saying, “Everyone’s really busy, so it depends on the situation. But I’d be really happy if we could meet again after a long time.”

Well, they did meet again — and fans couldn’t be happier.

In Poksak, Park Hae Joon played the loving father Gwansik, but in Yadang, he takes on a much tougher role as a drug squad detective who never gives up on catching criminals. His transformation is already gaining attention from fans eager to see him in a new light.

Meanwhile, Yadang officially hit theaters on April 16.
