Actor Jeon Bae-soo made a special appearance in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," adding zest to the drama.
"When Life Gives You Tangerines" (written by Lim Sang-chun, directed by Kim Won-seok, produced by Fan entertainment and Baram Pictures) is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous life of 'rebellious troublemaker' Ae-soon, born in Jeju, and 'foolish ironman' Gwan-sik across four seasons. While evoking empathy across generations, the series is solidifying its popularity both domestically and internationally, with Jeon Bae-soo joining as a colorful special cast for "When Life Gives You Tangerines."
In the third act, released on the 21st, Jeon Bae-soo appears as Song Young-sam, the owner of the boarding house where Geum-myung (played by IU) stays after returning from studying abroad in Japan in 1990. Ignoring Geum-myung's request to install a door handle, Young-sam enforces a strict rule of 'no boyfriends allowed', threatening eviction without hesitation if the rule is broken, revealing his meticulous and stern personality.
Meanwhile, Young-sam's daughter, Boo-seon (played by Jung Yi-seo), continued her romance with Chung-seop (played by Kim Sun-ho) while hiding it from her father. Eventually, the couple's urgent escape plan became intertwined with Geum-myung's rented room, leading to a commotion. The tension heightened as Chung-seop sneaked into Geum-myung's closet and Young-sam, with a piercing and stubborn gaze, urged Chung-seop to come out.
In this way, Jeon Bae-soo made a short yet powerful impression as the unpleasant and strict boarding house owner in "When Life Gives You Tangerines." He has exuded a presence that cannot be overlooked, having collaborated with writer Lim Sang-chun on four works so far. From the drama "Back to the Family", "Fight for My Way", to "When Life Gives You Tangerines," his long-standing relationship has led to him being referred to as 'Lim Sang-chun's persona.' Additionally, having previously acted as the father of actors Kim Ji-won and Park Eun-bin, earning the title of 'National Dad', he captivated attention in this work by portraying a completely different fatherly love.
With skilled performances that confirm him as an actor you can trust to deliver, Jeon Bae-soo continues to leave a strong impression. Following "Undercover High School" and "When Life Gives You Tangerines," expectations for his ongoing activities this year continue to grow.
