Si la vida te da mandarinas

IU and Park Bo-Gum don't just portray Ae-Sun and Gwan-Sik, it's like they lived their life too. You laugh with them, you cry with them, you want to hug them and tell them that everything is going to be alright. You desperately want them to be happy. I wouldn't imagine anyone else play Ae-Sun and Gwan-Sik, they're outstanding, impressively good and extraordinary. Each moment is significant, memorable and special. The whole cast, screenplay and locations are noticeable and treated with meticulous attention to details. It's a binge worthy show. While watching every episode I've enjoyed it so much that I didn't notice the time passing by.

Well, K Dramas will always surprise you with new and unique stories, everytime you watch.

This one, for sure has set a very high standard among other Korean shows. The story has got an enormous emotional pulp which will keep you entangled episodes after episodes.

The economical and cultuaral growth in South Korea has been shown along with the struggles in a mother-daughter equation.

How much a mother can sacrifice for his child is beautifully described in the show. Very few TV shows or movies these days would be able bring justice to the story like they have done in this show.

All actors are brilliant, the protagonists dearly deserve Emmy awards. Lets see.. :)

Just 4 episodes have been released at the moment, but it already made me cry , laugh, angry, felt all kind of roller coaster of emotions, the script, writing, direction, cast , their acting is top notch, every supporting actor's too are sooo sooo good. IU playing dual role like a professional, you can see no similarly between aesun and gwanmijeo (both played y iu herself) her expressions, body language, dialogue delivery, her eyes, she is sooo soo good. And Park Bogum is also sooo sooo good, the character he plays , he did it soo well which made many women wish for Gwanshik in their life💜 .....

It provides reality of asian households in 60s and struggle of women along with the fight they have to put.
