When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025) is currently the 8th highest rated entry on Letterboxd with a rating of 4.6/5. Is this another moment that exposes /tv/ as out of touch?Gonna watch episode 13 and post screenshots and webms.
>persimmon tree>tangerineswhat did they mean by this?
>>217306040>kslopYeah, no, I’m good thanks
>>217306040i thought letterboxd was for movies
>>217306130idiot>>217306166kdramas are majority one and done seasons so they're allowed as sort of a long movie. the west has forgotten how to end shows and just runs them into the ground until they're cancelled.
>>217306040That looks boring as shit, unc.Like just a couple a gooks walking around?
I am not going to watch a romance show without magic, war, zombies, vampires or autism.
>>217306040Korean actors are all so fucking bogged. Its painful to look at them
>>217306040Korean shows are based for not doing sex scenes and nudity
>>217306215>>217306219
>>217306243korean shows do nudity and sex scenes like any other country
My Mister is the only good Korean show
>>217306219>I am not going to watch a romance show without magicwatch the kdrama Goblin then and watch a 900 year old immortal get groomed by a high school girl.
>it's a chaebol and technocrats reinvent themselves as neoliberal managers and sell Korean assets to foreign capital for pennies on the dollar episode

Watch Pluribus instead.
I love IU so much it’s unreal
>>217306243this time they've gone too far, look at this smut.>>217306412probably, it's just america that mandates hardcore s*x scenes in every episode of television
>>217306755
I was literally just about to post about this show to ask if I should watch it, since it has good reviews and I adored Mouse (my first kdrama). I thought they were mostly CW tier slop but obviously that couldn't have been true about all of kdrama.
>>217306040A long time ago I was in Burma
Tangerine
>>217306880the show is a soap opera
>>217306414Tangerines is better and a return to form for kdramas.>>217306880Probably not as exciting as Mouse with all its twists and turns but it's definitely worth watching.
A long time ago I was in Jeju, and my friends and I were working for a steadfast boy. He was trying to buy the loyalty of a spirited girl by bribing her with tangerines.
>>217306194>kdramas are majority one and done seasonsVagabond and Signal would like a word
>>217306926>>217306952I don't mind if it's significantly slower than mouse (that was kinda to be expected, the mouse writers were on crack for better and for worse) as long as it's good.There are 100 shows on my watchlist right now and a few of them are kdramas>Tangerines obviously>Signal>Vagabond>Six Flying Dragons>Alchemy of Souls>Beyond Evil>Reply 1988All of these are on my watchlist bc I've gotten really fucking good reviews for them. Considering I've only seen mouse is this a good overall intro to kdrama? I probably won't be watching all of these this year but I'm curious if my list is fine.
I haven't watched this. Its it good?>IU is not my wife in storySo it can't be perfect so how good is it?
>>217307075>>SignalGreat show, still waiting on season 2>>VagabondAnother great show, still waiting on season 2Both are 100% worth watching though.
>>217306040>being out of touch with lettershitsloppersngl sounds great to me
>>217307068exception to the rule obviously>>217307075Reply 1988 is really good but it's hard to find a version of it that isn't the censored western release. Beyond Evil kind of falls apart in the second half, can't say I'd really recommend it. Also too many thriller/anime-tier shows on that list, try these instead.>>217307113wish people would stop clamoring for second seasons, literally every show has dumbass westerners in the comments screaming season 2 when season 2 when, it's gonna be the downfall of kdramas.
>>217307214>wish people would stop clamoring for second seasons, I'm not clamoring for it. Both those shows ended with a cliffhanger. They very easily could have finished them off in 1 season but they didn't.
>>217307239I meant in general. Kind of glad they never greenlit more seasons of those shows, it would only encourage people to make more cliffhanger nonsense shows.
no sane person rates TV on letterboxd
>>217307075>Alchemy of Soulsgreat>Reply 1988goodDont watch rest from that list.
>>217307214>grid for little girls I suppose at least 25:21 is sport related so is fine
>>217307268>it would only encourage people to make more cliffhanger nonsense shows.Fair enough. But leaving those 2 very good shows without a conclusive ending pretty much kills any rewatchability. Especially Vagabond. The set up a season 2 perfectly (whereas Signal just threw the cliffhanger in half assed in the final 20 minutes)
>>217307324>loves groomerwhats your excuse?
>>217307336fuck off back to the sopranos or mad men or whatever western bullshit you watch and leave kdramas alone, you people ruin everything you get your hands on.
I watched every her show, AMA
>>217307377Is it actually good?
>>217306040>韓国から吐いたクズいや、そりゃ... まあ、そりゃちょっと要らない
>>217307374>sopranos never watched that shitthe only good kdramas I watched were>sky castle>my name>my mistereven My Fellow Citizens is better than whole your list
>>217307324
>>217307387her acting skills? yesdubai choco? no
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
It was great. One my top shows in the past few years. Not exactly a high bar, but still.
>>217306194Is this webm supposed to mean something? What am I supposed to give a shit about here?
*hits pipe*
guess I'll watch another
>>217306040Put /kdg/ back in the subject so I can filter these shitass threads again.
just marathoned this show in two days.what did i think of it? how many times did i cry?
>>217307889this isn't kdg
>>217307975Then why are you posting Korean dramas here instead of there? Did /kdg/ get BTFO by the jannies?
>>217307971for me it was every every episode except for one
>>217307994This is the television and film board, When Life Gives You Tangerines is a well regarded and very popular television show. Sorry it's not another capeslop or thinly veiled idpol thread, those are probably more your speed.
>>217308043Your loveslop is the same caliber as capeslop.
>>217308058yeah yeah everything should be bang bang shoot 'em up action and spectacle, nobody should tell stories human stories anymore that's gay and for girl GROSSfuck off
>>217308150Your meaningless, saccharine soap operas will never mean anything to the majority of people on this site. Like whatever you want, but stop trying to convince us you have taste.
no
>>217308208"No" what? Love is boring because it's easy. Why would I want to watch a show about something you can get for virtually free?
finally after 13 episodes the tangerines make their appearance
>>217306040>Ching chong panda express show No thanks I'll pass.
that's commie talk, send her ass to the NIS
Real men watch thrillers or action.
>K dramaThis is now a Bloodhounds thread. Two bros who meet through boxing fight Korean loan sharks who took advantage of people during covid and who end up hurting the mom of one of the heroes, drawing them in to a battle of revenge. They are recruited by an ex loan shark trying to use his money for redemption and punch, kick and bludgeon their way to justice. It's kino. You're welcome.
>>217308652textbook toxic masculinity on display right here
>>217308699looks like anime tier slop, no romance no watch.
>>217306040Now take off half a point from the korea bonus
>>217308699https://youtu.be/eyiR8pO50JE?si=OOwkpVEmJJXABy0A
>>217306040keep your gookslop to your containment thread, bugshill
>>217308719>He wants Korean dramatic romanceI got you, lil bro. I actually just watched this movie today. Was kino. >Detective goes to investigate a death. Informs the wife. The wife is hot. The wife thinks he's hot. She is a suspect. He is a cop. Shenanigans and plot twists ensue. https://youtu.be/Bmoy73lhs-s?si=QNNf2KA4CXb7Mg_A
i feel like i lived a full life after finishing this and now i want a family of my own...
>>217308735>>217308728westoids seething because all they get nowadays are half baked shows that end on a cliffhanger and then get cancelled, or like 8 more episodes at best after waiting a year, then it gets cancelled.
>>217308787this, the scope of the show is immense, it probably could have been one of those rare 24 episode kdramas.
>>217306106AI shit like everything else.
>>217306194even netflix shit isn't shot this bad
>>217308768that's not really a romance movie it's just the usual wook violenceslop with some sexual tension
AUTUMN IN MY HEART!!
>when people think squid game is kdrama
>2002 world cup episodethis really is just a new Reply show with a different name
>>217308710Oxygen used to be toxic.
>>217309636you likely don't even know what it means, just whatever your grifter daddies told you.
>>217309753https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event?useskin=vectorHere. Read this, assuming you're capable of reading anything other than dollar store romance novels.
>>217309763what does this have to do with anything? toxic masculinity is doing something or not doing something that results in harm or negative effects because of your preconceived notions about what is and isn't masculine. If I like and enjoy kdramas but refuse to watch them because doing so would be perceived as emasculating, that's toxic masculinity. Many of the complainers in here might actually like the shows but they'll never know or admit it because they hand wave them way.
>>217309851I don't give a shit about what's masculine. You're a fag because you think we give a shit what you think.
>>217309864idiot
>>217309883Have you finally realized your shit ass taste doesn't mean anything to us?>>217308250Go home fag.
>>217309897No. Television show thread on the television board, cry more.
>>217309936Why are you posting outside of your containment general if you don't want to be insulted?You're jacking off to this exchange right now aren't you?I might be too.
>>217309944I'm bringing culture to the unwashed masses of this shit board, you should be thanking me. Now go hate watch something else, that's all you people know how to do.
>>217309981We're not going to watch your gooky soap operas.Are you some sort of wine aunt with autism? Are you capable of understanding that other people don't share your tastes?
>>217310025I started the kdrama general a few years back and we've been growing ever since. Outreach threads like this one allow people to see the error of their ways, it only takes one good kdrama and people will see the wool put over their eyes by modern garbage western tv.
>>217310025are you autistic retard? some people never learn. you type like someone that paints warhammer figures while listening to power metal and think that makes you masculine and cool when it does the opposite.
>>217310060If we wanted to watch this shit we'd go to your general. We don't.
>>217310072People ignore generals, whether they'd be interested in the content or not. I already told you this is an outreach thread, try to keep up. So again we return to>Television show thread on the television board, cry more.
>>217310120We ignore generals because we don't give a shit about your gook sloop.
>>217310133Not arguing with you any more, go have an autistic fit somewhere else.
>>217310150Your weird obsession is putting you on the path to becoming a lolcow. Is that what you want, to be the Chris-chan of kdramas?
I don't want to roll right in to the finale. Really need to finish Jealousy Incarnate, might watch an episode of that as a palette cleanser.
>>217310223Don't care, still watching Pluribus.
finale is 1.5 hours nice
