When life gives you a tangerine: A series of feverish lines, 1 dish is sought after

The drama " When life gives you tangerines" attracted audiences worldwide as soon as it began broadcasting, topping the Netflix platform's non-English-speaking drama charts.

The film also entered the top 10 most watched films in 42 countries, including Vietnam and countries such as Brazil, Turkey, Thailand...

The film touches many generations of audiences because of the script that combines the story and life of many generations.

The film begins with a setting in Jeju Island in the 1960s, telling the story of 3 generations of women in the family, focusing on the life of Oh Ae Sun (played by IU) - a smart but poor woman who suffers from discrimination and contemp.t for women.

After that, IU continued to take on the role of Oh Ae Sun's daughter, and the role of middle-aged Oh Ae Sun was played by actor Moon Sori.

In the film, many touching lines about the love between parents and children make the audience shed tears.

The quote of Mrs. Gwang Rye (Yeom Hye Ran) - Ae Sun's mothe.r - has been shared a lot on forums: "In the end, everyone is an orphan. Parents leave first, children continue to live. Just live, then you will live."

It wasn't until Ae Sun became a mothe.r that she understood the heart of her late mothe.r. She thought: "It's weird. Parents always inculcate what they feel is wrong with their children. And the children only pay attention to the things that disappoint them."

Therefore, Oh Ae Sun is always in pai.n with missing her mothe.r. In the scene of confiding in her husband, Ae Sun said: "My childhood was so miserable that I don't remember anything. But if I could go back, I would probably still come back just to be able to hold my mothe.r's hand again."

The relationship between Gwan Sik and his daughter Geum Myeong (IU) is also portrayed with many emotions.

Gwan Sik admitted that he had "unilaterally loved" his daughter for many years, always telling her to keep trying, if she couldn't stand it, give up and return home. For him, "even if you only have a scratch in your heart, your heart will leave bruises."

When he grew up, the stubborn, selfish Geum Myeong finally sobbed and said, "I ate all my parents' youth and grew up."

The chil.d just wants his parents to think more about himself, and he has to helplessly exclaim: "Dad, if you have 100, you will give me 120".

The dialogues in the film are an important factor that leads emotions, touching the hearts of the audience. Culture professor Yoon Seok Jin said: "The way the film portrays the parent-child relationship through many generations is especially impressive to the audience."

In addition to the dialogue, the film also made a dish feverish when enthusiastically promoted by the male and female leads.

Specifically, recently, the charcoal grilled tangerine in When Life Gives You Tangerines (starring IU and Park Bo Gum) has attracted the attention and captivated many people. This grilled tangerine dish is a traditional specialty of Jeju Island, South Korea and is loved by the people here, especially during the cold winter days. The tangerines on Jeju Island have a distinctive, sweet and fragrant taste, thanks to the mild climate of this land. Locals often roast tangerines on charcoal stoves, leaving the outer shell to scorch and give off a seductive aroma, making those who are nearby can't help but be distracted. The tangerine flesh inside is soft and sweet, bringing a feeling of relaxation and warmth like warm hugs in the middle of a cold winter.

Charcoal grilled tangerines are not only a simple dish but also contain many cultural values. Those are familiar memories, images of Jeju Islanders gathering around charcoal stoves, enjoying baked tangerines in the cold air. This dish is a symbol of simplicity, but full of warmth, sophistication and affection. It brings a sense of peace, like returning to the simple but extremely precious things in life.

To prepare charcoal-grilled tangerines, you don't need too many elaborate steps. Simply place the tangerines on the charcoal stove, let them bake until the outer shell is slightly scorched, giving off an incredibly attractive aroma. When you bite into it, the burnt outer shell dissipates, leaving behind a soft, sweet, and plump tangerine flesh. This is not just a snack, but also an emotional experience, like enjoying simple but extremely memorable moments in life. When eating, you not only feel the fresh taste of tangerines but also feel the warmth from the dish, soothing the fatigue and worries of life.
