Actor Lee Jun-young's father mentioned the reason for crying while watching the drama.
Lee Jun-young's father recently posted on social media, "The reality of Jun-young resembles Geum-myeong much more than Yeong-beom. After becoming independent, he rejected being a mama's boy and became a chic guy. Thanks to the big talk about treating his mom and dad well, he is already enjoying too many luxuries, but as a parent, that's not always a joyful thing. This is the reason for crying while watching this drama." The post evoked a sense of poignancy. The accompanying photo showed Lee Jun-young and his parents posing affectionately against a seaside backdrop.
Lee Jun-young portrayed the role of Park Young-beom in the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" (written by Lim Sang-chun, directed by Kim Won-seok), showcasing a passionate romance and breakup with his girlfriend Geum-myeong (played by IU), captivating the viewers.
The difficulties faced by the couple due to Young-beom's mother, who dislikes Geum-myeong, were also depicted, ultimately leading to their breakup after a long-term relationship. Young-beom's heartfelt love story was brought to life when he cried, pleading, "Are you really going to live without me?" to Geum-myeong's stingy remark, "I’ll be happy without you." Lee Jun-young's realistic emotional performance stirred the viewers' tears.
Many viewers dislike the character of Young-beom for not actively protecting Geum-myeong against his mother. This is partly due to Lee Jun-young's vivid acting. In response to a fan's question on social media asking if Young-beom knew he was a hot topic on Twitter, Lee Jun-young humorously apologized, saying, "No... I don’t know what it is, but I’m sorry." Meanwhile, the final episode of "When Life Gives You Tangerines" featuring Lee Jun-young will be released on Netflix on the 28th.
