Comedian Shim Jin-hwa has become completely captivated by the charm of Hak-ssi, played by Choi Dae-hoon, in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.'
Shim Jin-hwa posted a video on the 9th, saying, "I am making gimbap that can serve as subtitles today. What characters will appear?"
The released video shows Shim Jin-hwa inscribing the alternate nickname 'Hak-ssi' of the character Bu Sang-gil in the popular series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' into the middle of the gimbap. In the series, Bu Sang-gil (played by Choi Dae-hoon) is a villain character, but he has been immensely loved as an endearing figure for always saying "Hak-ssi" at the end of his sentences.
In particular, Shim Jin-hwa combined an image of 'Hak-ssi' gimbap with a video of the character Bu Sang-gil from 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' eliciting laughter, and she also exclaimed, "Hahaha! I love it so much!"
Meanwhile, the Netflix original series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' tells the adventurous life of a 'rebellious and charming' Ae-soon (played by IU), born in Jeju in the 1960s, and Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum), a 'foolish strongman.' It has been well-received by viewers with stories that resonate with human emotions, created by writer Im Sang-chun, known for works like 'When the Camellia Blooms' and 'Fight My Way,' and directed by Kim Won-seok, who has provided empathy, comfort, and encouragement through works such as 'My Mister,' 'Signal,' and 'Misaeng.' The production cost was about 60 billion won, and it featured performances by IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri, Park Hae-joon, Yeom Hye-ran, Oh Jung-se, Kim Sun-ho, Lee Jun-young, and Kang Mal-geum.
Starting with the first act, which captured spring on the 7th of last month (episodes 1-4), a total of 16 episodes were presented over 4 weeks with 4 episodes each week. It rose to the top spot in the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category in the third week after its release, and after the release of the fourth act, it recorded 6,000,000 viewers (the value of viewing time divided by the total running time of the work), achieving the third position in the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category, finishing on a high note.
