La vie portera ses fruits

This drama will go down in history as an iconic masterpiece of kdrama cinema. From the opening scene, this drama draws you in and takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions.

Just 4 episodes so far and already it is obvious that this drama is the future benchmark that all Korean dramas will be compared to.

The story, the cinematography, the acting, are all of the highest standard.

Park Bo-gum takes his latest role to a new level and shows such enormous talent in his portrayal of Gwansik. Women worldwide will lose their hearts and minds for him.

IU delivers, showing she can sing and act and do both at the highest possible level.

Every cast member in this drama should be proud of their achievement, because every single one has given a realistic and incredibly entertaining view into another historical time.

The scene on the pier is sure to go down in cinematic folklore as THE unmatched romantic scene of love winning against all odds.

Move over Romeo and Juliet... a new iconic love story is born!

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.. :)

If I could rate it more than 10 stars then I would! 4 episodes in and I can already tell this is/would be a masterpiece! Indeed, it's one of those dramas that only comes every 10 years and would remain iconic in this lifetime. I wish I could erase it from my memories and watch it again like it's the first time. Such a roller-coaster ride! It had me laughing then crying my heart out the next few minutes, then frustrated, then empowered. It's not just romance. It's a story about people-about life, dreams, hardships, persistence, and winning amidst these seemingly mundane life. Looking forward for the next 12 episodes!

What a heartbreakingly beautiful show this is. It's the kind that quietly sneaks up on you, warms you with its sincerity, and then-bam-crushes your soul when you least expect it. And I loved every second.

The actors? So genuine it hurts. They don't just play their roles; they are their roles. Every emotion feels raw, real, and straight from the heart. And the main actress? I'm still in shock over how good she is. She doesn't just deliver a performance-she lives it.

And the visuals? Absolutely stunning. Every frame is so aesthetically and authentic, like stepping into a living, breathing world rather than just watching a drama. The story itself is beautifully sad, at times unexpectedly funny, and always engaging, leaving a bittersweet taste-much like tangerines themselves.
