FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Meet the cast of when life gives you tangerines | History Defined

Park Bo-gum as Yang Gwan-sik, IU as Oh Ae-sun in When Life Gives You Tangerines.

Netflix's latest Korean series When Life Gives You Tangerines is the kind of genre-less K-drama that becomes an instant classic, unfurling across several generations like an epic novel. Directed by Misaeng, Signal, and My Mister helmer Kim Won-seok, the period K-drama spans from 1960s Jeju Island to the present day, while following the family of Oh Ae-sun (played by IU and Moon So-ri), a brilliant and headstrong girl determined to make more of her life than the expectations set out for her. By her side is the steadfast Yang Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum and Park Hae-joon).

To bring the slice-of-life drama to the screen, Netflix has recruited Korea's most popular young stars and acclaimed veteran actors, who lead one of the most expensive K-dramas ever made. Below, read on to learn more about the all-star cast of When Life Gives You Tangerines.
