[TRANS] 250401 Round Interview with actor Park Hae Joon for #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines 🍊
On April 1, Korean media outlets sat down for a round interview with actor Park Hae-joon to chat about his latest participation in the Netflix Series “When Life Gives You Tangerines”. During the interview, Park expressed his affection for IU, who played the role of his daughter Yang Geun-myeong in the series.
Park shared, “IU treated me really well. Her reactions during our scenes were excellent too. She did a fantastic job in ‘My Mister’, but I still thought this project might be a bit challenging for her at first (T/L note: Park Hae-joon played Monk Gyeomduk in ‘My Mister’). ‘My Mister’ had a fixed basic tone/atmosphere (for each character), which allowed IU to really showcase what she does well. However, in ‘WLGYT’, she had to switch back and forth between two characters. One tone for Geum-myeong, and another tone for Ae-sun, who would’ve thought she could pull these roles off so well. I was truly proud of her.
We had a script reading session before we began filming, and I was shocked the moment I heard her voice. She was so good. I thought to myself, ‘She’s this good?’ And watching the show, all I could think was how well she did.”
He continued, “During filming, I was able to joke around, say whatever I wanted and be comfortable with IU. After filming, she invited me to her concert. I heard it was really hard to get tickets for her concert, so I gladly went but was left in utter shock. On set, she was this kid dozing off and squatting in a shabby corner, but at the Olympic Stadium, she sang to a full house for 4 hours. I thought she was phenomenal and realised she’s the real deal.
(After the concert) I told Moon Sori sunbae, “IU isn’t human. She’s amazing” to which she replied, “You didn’t know that?” That’s when I started to find IU a bit intimidating even though I was so comfortable with her during filming.
Our schedules were always packed and tough. When IU was exhausted on set, I’d joke around and tell her, ‘come on, cheer up will you?’ I joked a lot because I find her really endearing like a daughter, but she’s definitely not someone you can take lightly. Now that I think about it, I feel embarrassed.
Speaking of her concert, it was so long that I wondered if she wasn’t going to faint. I think I watched like a father and cheered on her saying, “my daughter, I hope you do well.” I listen to her songs a lot because my wife plays them at home, but not to the extent I could sing along. But the show just kept going. She sang for hours, and then Bogum suddenly appeared, and I was so happy to see him too.
I showed up quietly to support IU, but I was worried because she had become noticeably skinnier since I last saw her. I felt sorry for her. I wish she would take it easy, but she’s so professional with her work, and that worries me. I’m worried about IU, I wonder if she’s getting proper health check ups.”

#IU #아이유 #폭싹속았수다 @_IUofficial
I have to stress that C-netizens are extremely critical and many write very long, thoughtful reviews (unlike Letterboxd one liners) so getting an aggregate score of 7-8 is considered great already. In all my years I have never seen anything break 9 on Douban.
Despite being a Drama Series, “When Life Gives You Tangerines” is currently the 2nd highest-rated Korean show on Letterboxd ever, with a 4.53 rating.
It’s only behind “Parasite”.
idols’ reaction to wlgyt is so funny because they’ve either finished it in one sitting and feel completely distraught or they haven’t been able to finish it because they cannot have swollen eyes during their schedules 😭😭😭
if iu doesn't win the best actress then im giving it to her myself bc the way she portrayed such heavy heart wrenching emotions so perfectly that got everyone crying their hearts out is something not everyone can do like im literally in awe with her acting she's just so amazing
i teared up at this 🥺🥺
iu is really so precious; the way she interacts w her fans, alw tells us to be happy and how she’s alw rooting for us is so genuine 😭
