Can’t believe it’s over already 😭 The last episode wrecked me. But in the best way I guess. Gwan-Sik is the ultimate husband. That character and this show raised my standards so much! Thank for watching, guys. It’s been lovely rewatching with you all ✨

Yara

It was a great emotional ride, thank you so much for your great reactions and thoughts I really enjoyed it

Kimberly

noo im so sad this is the last tangerine friday

I'm so grateful that BM has seen this show, really had a great time watching it all over again with you guys (even if i cried every eps all over again). Oak being emotional and you guys being emotionally invested in these two eps, what a ride, right? It's really a phenomenal drama. Solid 5 over 5. It deserves the recognition of how it's highly rated and awarded. For me, this show is easily on my Top 5 KDramas that i've seen in my whole life. Top tier. Excellent writing, plot, actors, cinematography and all. 👏 Would watch it all over again (if i can) and will always recommend to everyone.

Thank you for awesome reactions to this beautifully written series, it was a ride we'll never forget! The twist at the end was beyond just chief editor being the little girl who found the ring, it was on purpose that Yeom Hye-ran who played Ae-san's mother also show up as editor. In Asian culture/religion reincarnation plays important and deep role, so this short scene meant that chief editor is the reincarnation of Gwang-rye (note how Gwan-sik and Ae-san discussed "meeting in the next life" before this scene). Also the actor which photo we've seen in Ae-san and Gwan-sik's restaurant was Lee Byung-hun which is well known in South Korea, but most known worldwide as one of the key characters in Squid Game. Not surprising that you missed that fun moment as this was shown quite fast, but nice touch from the series!

Ive rewatched this so many times but everytime i cry. It doesnt get any easier. 😭

Biancalama

Loved how Ae-sun & Gwan-sik were able to finally come together and talk about Dong, their lost Angel 🥹. They both went almost 40 years not speaking about their deepest pain to save the other the heartache. What a diligent partnership :). I absolutely love the series. So beautiful.

Grace

I'm so happy you guys watched this and enjoyed (and cried as much as I did). I've now watched this 3 times and I've cried like a baby every time...it never gets easier. It's an emotional rollercoaster but so real and well done. Thanks for the reactions as always!!

This is the first time I’ve finished this entire series. Honestly, I could never quite explain why I hadn’t finished it before, but when I saw BM was going to be reacting to it, I told myself that this time I’d finally see it through to the end. And oh my god never again 😭 these last few episodes have absolutely destroyed me. For me is 5/5 too but that’s enough, I’ll keep crying over the edits I find on Tiktok, but I’m not touching the series itself again until further notice 🥹

MadBone127

Thanks for this reaction. I don't know that I would have watched this otherwise but I loved it. I think so much of this series comes down to the line on the back of the book which was "I'm sorry. Thank you. I love". Probably words that many of us hope we have time to say to loved ones at the end of their lives, or ours.

Yanina Cárdenas

Thanks so much for the reaction! ❤️❤️ I had dropped this K-drama at episode 6, but I picked it back up thanks to you guys. I cried a lot during these episodes—I’m glad you guys got emotional too!

Knightmare

You guys would LOVEEE the new K-show "The Remarried Empress." I mean it has sooooooOO much drama immediately from episode 1. Right up your Bridgerton alley 😂

FD

The last episode broke me, I cried so much. Had such a great time watching and rewatching the series with you guys. I originally stopped watching the show at episode 3 and I only started watching it again because I knew you’d be reacting to it. Thank you for that because it’s such a beautiful show, I’m glad I got to complete it and I loved your reactions and discussions throughout.

Lans Aperaamo

Guys you may have missed this but the publisher is the reincarnation of Ae Sun’s mother. Their wish for her to be a boss sitting behind a desk came true 🙂

F San

Watching this with yll has been so much fun thank you! This show hits hard even on rewatch because we notice different things that we missed during the first watch. Some scenes like the last episode tend to hit even harder LOL

Rawaby 1204

Dang it can’t believe this has to end , this was such a fun ride , it was indeed an emotional roller coaster, funny how DD mentioned people who rewatched this show for the reaction cause yeah this wasn’t easy, i love the show and i can rewatch it cause i love them and i love to see your reaction but i keep crying my eyes out in many episodes lol , very happy you enjoyed the show , so thankful for giving it a chance and so sorry to make you go through this lol , this was a great discovery, it was really a great show and I appreciate the all 5s for the show !

verity

thank you for having us along this journey 😊 this series will always make me tear up

Mari Vaz

I watch this show and I need to call my father after everytime.

Laurynn Coleman

So we're all in here crying our asses off huh? This show is so beautiful but so sad I almost didnt want to watch it again with you guys. But I loved the conversations after the episodes and I look at this show more fondly especially having heard your perspectives.

Audrey

I've watched this series through at least three times now and I can't finish it without crying

Tara ✨💫

How about a light hearted show next after this emotional drama. I recommend Hometown Cha Cha Cha. You'll see Picasso in that show as well as one of the North Korean ladies from CLOY.

Seelia

Thank you! This has been one of the best reactions you guys have done on a show on ths channel. 💙💙💙💙 I cried so much again but it can't be helped. When you see the sadness, happiness, situations in the drama, your eyes suddenly start leaking as a response! It's muscle memory 😂 Also, it's worse cuz I lost my mother early this year to illness. This is also my therapy. It helps my mourning process.

Ana

I loved this so much!! Such an amazing series and I had been avoiding the last two episodes for months when I first watched it. I knew it was going to be a cry fest. I’m surprised, I thought the guys would have a way bigger reaction to Ae-Sun’s mom being reborn as a boss who sat at a desk, just like Ae-sun wished for her! And I thought there would be a bigger reaction that Geum-myeong purchased her childhood home for her mom Ae-Sun. The same home that Gwan-sik purchased for Ae-sun too. That family purchased the same house 3 times lol. I loved that Ae-sun got to go back to her mom’s house for what I assume is the last place she will live, and be close to where her baby boy is buried. 🥹🥹 Great reaction and conversation afterwards. Thought I got all my crying out during the show but you guys had me tearing up again! ♥️

Angie-Lu

I love this show and have watched three times now. My father is very much like Sang-gil and my mum like Ae-sun but I see my husband and his own father in Gwan-Sik. This show is so relatable and changes your perspective as a daughter and mother. It’s allowed me to see my parents in a different way and my husband too Such a beautiful show

Aria Isara

My dad passed away from cancer in 2022 and the way Gwan Sik walked at the end and how he never said much reminded of that a lot, and we also had some bad experiences with the medical personnel...

karla

That finale was indeed brutal! I was bawling my eyes out watching along with you guys! It's been so great seeing you get so invested in this slice-of-life drama too cause i wasn't sure if this is your cup of tea at the beginning. I don't know what the next K-drama will be, but I'm really going to miss WLGYT! 🥹❤️

Lizzie

Back when it came out I couldn’t get past episode 6 due to all my tears. Now I’ve completed it with you guys. Thanks for taking me on this journey with you. This show was truly amazing. I probably cried every single episode. Growing up as my mother’s first child, I had a lot of resentment. Especially growing up in America as a person of color and child of immigrants. We struggled a lot in many different ways and I was embarrassed of it. I have a great relationship with my parents, but I know I didn’t always treat them right because of my embarrassment as a child. After watching this show, I really started looking inward. My struggles seemed so small compared to what they have gone through. Those struggles feel like a gift to me now, like somehow by going through the worst of it first themselves, they’ve allowed my suffering to be minimal. I wouldn’t exchange my parents and the life they’ve given me for the world. This show presented me with a goal. To ask my parents more about their life when they were young and to find out what their dreams were as children.

Aaron Gray

Wow, what a ride this has been guys. Not my normal type of kdrama but watched along with you all and enjoyed every moment. Some scenes were difficult to watch throughout, but especially last episode as recently lost my father, life changes but love still there. Cannot wait for Teach you a Lesson now :).

So Tired

Can’t believe this is it🥲

Shein Nshit

After last episode i cried so hard i got a migraine... but i loved this show so much and i cherish it in my heart. It moved me so much. Thank you for your reactions and heartfelt discussions.

Ep 15 notes MQ and Diamond Dave’s relief at 36:53–36:57, when they found out that Geum-myeong’s baby was alive, was so palpable! The labour scenes were intense and touching at the same time, especially after her parents arrived at the hospital. And Oak’s reaction at 1:21:19, when he said, “Fuck, I’m getting emotional,” while talking about the children’s attitude toward Gwan-sik, was so relatable! I want to thank you for being so open and vulnerable and for sharing your own experiences so often. It’s always so endearing to watch, and it’s one of my favourite things about this channel! Your words — “You just want to reach through the screen and shake them, saying, ‘You have no idea how lucky you are to have a parent like that’” — really hit close to home for me!

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

Ep 16 notes “He has a hobby for the first time in his life” — that hit hard because it really shows how tough life was for Gwan-sik and how hard he worked to provide for his family. DD saying, “Don’t do this to us, writers” at 25:17 sounded like a cry for help! “How am I supposed to say goodbye to you?” and “I had a loving dad. But my dad didn’t have a loving daughter.” — After those lines I completely broke down and didn’t stop crying until the very end 😭😭😭 At 41:20, I think that moment especially broke DD, judging by his reaction… He shed a couple of tears during that heartbreaking scene between the son and Gwan-sik, even though he tried to hide them. And then again at 1:02:54… But for Oak, it was the moment at 56:16, followed by 1:03:36, when you all realised that Gwan-sik had moved all the dishes down so Ae-sun could reach them. And I really felt for Oak during the post-episode discussion when he burst into tears while listening to the other guys talk about Gwan-sik’s death scene in the hospital. Oak is such an empathetic soul, and as a subscriber to this channel, I appreciate that quality in him so much! Never change!

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

The plot twist that Ae-sun’s mother had been reincarnated and had literally become the publisher of her daughter p’s poetry book was so touching and heartwarming! They even brought that whole storyline full circle! But it was such a shame that none of you realised it was the same actress or picked up on the deeper meaning of that scene 🥲

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

I’ve watched this finale probably ten times over the past couple of months, and every single time — EVERY SINGLE TIME — I am weeping through at least half of the episode. The first time I watched it, I actually started crying around the twenty-minute mark and didn’t stop until the very end. So I’m genuinely amazed that both Answer and Mason Quinn made it through this episode without giving in to tears, especially Answer, considering what he shared about having gone through something similar with his own mother. Now that’s some serious emotional strength and self-control! As for me, I’m a complete mess every time and always end up having to reach for a handkerchief. I’d personally heard so many wonderful things about When Life Gives You Tangerines ever since it aired. But I kept putting off watching it because I knew it would be heartbreaking and emotionally exhausting, and my own reality was already tough enough. A couple of months ago, though, I finally watched it along with another reaction channel, and it turned out to be such a beautiful, wholesome experience! ❤️😭 You just can’t forget this show, even if you want to… I’ve already rewatched it six or seven times (or maybe even more), and it’s crazy how deeply it affects me, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. To me, it’s a true testament to the power of quality writing. It’s one of those rare shows that stay with you forever. After watching it, you really start to appreciate my parents more and feel the urge to call them or spend more time with them. ❤️

I was honestly a little bummed that you guys didn’t recognize Ae-sun’s mother in the final episode! She died at just 29, and when Ae-sun was in the ocean asking why her mother had to leave so soon and wondering if she had been reborn into a better life, that was such a heartbreaking moment. The editor who published her poetry book was actually implied to be her mother’s reincarnation! Remember how her mother wished she could have a desk job instead of diving? She finally got that life. And the part where she was crying and saying she was proud of Ae-sun was just beautiful. It was like her mother finally got to see the woman her daughter had become. Such a beautiful full-circle moment!

Chloe

I absolutely love this show. Watching this show helped me realize that there’s no check list in life for success. It’s not always a straight road and taking detours is not the end of the world. I will always cherish the family drama, realness, forgiveness, growth, extension and loyalty in this show. I started watching k-dramas due to this channel and will continue to watch every one you guys react to.
