In the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines,' IU captivates audiences with her dual role, bringing the character 'Geum-myeong' to life with intricate storytelling.
The third act of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' released on March 21, has deepened the emotional narrative and engagement, earning enthusiastic responses from viewers. IU, playing the role of Geum-myeong, enriches the character's story with her nuanced emotional performance.
In this act, IU charms viewers by adding depth to her character. In the scene where she reunites with her boyfriend Young-beom (played by Lee Jun-young), she vividly portrays a girlfriend's charm with playful speech and a loving expression, maximizing the character's attractiveness. Even after waking up in the emergency room, she maintains the image of a loving partner, using a weakened voice to convey her physical state while still trying to reassure her boyfriend with a delicate smile.
In a confrontation scene with Young-beom's mother, IU's subtle acting heightens the drama's intensity. With a firm tone, she declares, "I'm not ashamed of my father's hand," conveying her convictions through her breath, gaze, and speech, capturing the deep emotions of the character 'Geum-myeong.'
IU's portrayal of tender feelings towards her parents and her strong inner self resonated with many viewers. When she locks eyes with Young-beom, she releases her suppressed emotions, exclaiming, "How can we get married like this? My parents would cry," bringing the emotional tension to a peak.
In the first and second acts of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' IU primarily portrayed the teenage and young adult years of 'Ae-soon.' In the third act, she delicately unfolds the growth narrative of Ae-soon's daughter, 'Geum-myeong.' With each episode, IU breathes life into her character with a wide range of emotions. Anticipation builds for what she will showcase in the remaining episodes.
The final act of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' will be released on March 28 at 4 PM.
