Strong candidates for the Daesang at the Baeksang Awards

 

Culinary Class Wars

When Life Gives You Tangerines

I wonder which one will win.

theqoo

-I haven't watched either, but it seems like 'Culinary Class Wars' had more viewers.

-I thought 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' would obviously win this one.

-Baeksang doesn't usually give the Daesang to variety shows...ㅋㅋㅋ

-It should be 'Culinary Class Wars.' That show basically revived the whole food industry.

-I haven't watched either, but I personally think 'Culinary Class Wars' seemed to have more buzz.

-I've watched both. I actually liked 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' more.

-They should give this one to 'Culinary Class Wars'ㅋㅋ The impact they had was on another level.

-'Culinary Class Wars' was on another level. People were totally obsessed with itㅋㅋ

-Considering it's the Baeksang Awards, I think they'll give it to 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.'

-If you compare the shows alone, it's obviously 'Culinary Class Wars.' But since it's the Baeksang Awards, they probably won't give it to a variety showㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Considering that Baek Jongwon had an issue recently, I think 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' will win this one.

-From someone who hasn't watched either, I think 'Culinary Class Wars' had way bigger buzz than 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.'

-The Baeksang Awards doesn’t usually hand out the Daesang based on buzz alone...

'When Life Gives You Tangerines' Volume 3 Poster

theqoo

-Ah... Might as well drop this drama.

-Hul... That man is Kim Seonho? What the f*ck? Actors seem to be getting away no matter what they do. It's so sickening.

-Not Lee Joonyoung?? That's insane.

-???? That's not Lee Joonyoung?

-Then why did they promote the drama as if Park Bagum was the male lead?

-Does that mean Park Bogum won't be appearing in the later parts?... I haven't started watching it yet because I was going to binge it...

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ??????? I'm just gonna watch Volume 1 then.

-I thought Yeongbeom would obviously be her husbandㅜㅜ

-I'm definitely not going to watch this. What the hell?

-Isn't Park Bogum the male lead?

Viewers confused after the Volume 3 poster of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' was released

The man with his back turned in the Volume 3 poster

ㄴHey, someone said that's Kim Seonho

ㄴㄴ ???

Kim Sungryung, Kim Seonho, and Jo Jaeyoon confirmed for special appearances in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.' It hasn't yet been revealed what roles they will play or in what situations they will appear.

theqoo

-I was waiting for all episodes to be released so that I could binge watch itㅋㅋㅋㅋ Nope, I'm not watching this.

-Ugh... Seriously? Why him out of all people?????

-No.. I'm still watching Volume 2...;; Why Kim Seonho?? Who cast him?

-I watched up to episode 2, I won't watch anymore..

-I'm so disappointed that Park Bogum barely appears in Volume 2.... Guess he'll even have less air time in Volume 3 and 4.....

-There are plenty of actors without scandals. Why do they keep giving opportunities to people like him?

-Since the article said 'special appearances,' I hope this is not true... Please, just be a random villager....

-I'm not watching this, I enjoyed Volume 1 thoughㅠ

-Aside from everything else, the poster itself just looks so bad.

-Why is he even on the poster if he's only in it for a special appearance?

Netflix K-Drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' to be released in a new format

When Life Gives You Tangerines

Written by Lim Sanghchun

Directed by Kim Wonseok

Starring IU, Park Bogum, Moon Sori, Park Haejoon

Produced by Pan Entertainment, BARAM Pictures

Releases date: March 7th, March 14th, March 21th, March 28th

Instead of a full release, it seems like they're going to release 4 episodes per week over 4 weeks (16 episodes in total). This is a first for Netflix.

theqoo

-4 episodes every Friday? I'll be so happy.

-I love this. If they release all 16 episodes at once, I'd be overwhelmed and think, 'Huk... When will I watch all of this?', and not want to watch it.

-No, I want to watch it all at once............🥺

-Ugh... Please release 8 episodes at a time. I can't wait for that long.

-Whoa... But by the way, why does it look like they have no chemistry? Is it just because of the picture?ㅜㅜ

-I can't wait to watch itㅜㅜ

-Since they have 16 episodes in total, it's better to release them in parts to keep the buzz going.

-I love how they're releasing 4 episodes at a timeㅋㅋㅋ I can binge 4 episodes in one sitting.

-That's good! I can't wait to watch it.

-I'm the type to binge-watch dramas, so I hate this... Well, I'm not even interested in the drama anyway.

-This new release format makes me even less interested.......ㅠ

-Ah.... I don't like thisㅠㅠㅠㅠ Why don't they just release it all at once?

-I was wondering how they would release it... 4 episodes per week for 4 weeks is perfect.

-I hate this. Netflix is losing its best features.

-Releasing all episodes at once is indeed the best format, but for long series, releasing it inparts over a few months is better.

The English title is 'When life gives you tangerines.' Ah, it's so cute.
ㄴIt's a famous English saying, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,' which means to turn adversity into opportunity or to make the best out of a bad situation. Since the drama is set in Jeju, they probably replaced lemons with tangerines. The English title would be 'When life gives you tangerines'... so adorable 🍊🍊
