When Life Gives You Tangerines 폭싹 속았수다
A sweeping four-season portrait of Ae-sun and Gwan-sik, whose love story unfolds across decades of Jeju life from the 1950s onward. 2025's most beloved K-drama worldwide — a masterpiece of tears and tangerines.
Why fans make the trip
This is Jeju's love letter to itself: stone-walled villages, canola fields and haenyeo shores. Jeju tourism surged after release, and following Ae-sun's island — orchards, coasts and all — is the most emotional route on this site.
Where it was filmed
01 · Aewol-eup, Jeju City
Gwangnyeong-ri Village →“The stone-walled lanes that played Ae-sun's hometown — lava-rock fences, low roofs and tangerine trees in the yards.”
Rental car recommended (25 min from Jeju Airport). Buses toward Aewol stop within a walk of the village lanes.
02 · Aewol-eup, Jeju City
Handam Coastal Trail →“The Aewol shoreline walk that frames several of the couple's seaside moments.”
Bus 202 along the west coast to Handam Beach stop, or 30 min by car from Jeju Airport.
03 · Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo
Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) →“The UNESCO sunrise peak beneath which one of the drama's most wrenching scenes — the 3,000 bows — takes place.”
Bus 201 from Jeju City (about 1.5 hrs) or 50 min by car; the trail to the summit takes about 25 minutes up.
04 · Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo
Seopjikoji →“The canola-covered cape of the drama's springtime imagery, gazing across to Seongsan Ilchulbong.”

Our Blues
The drama's Pureung Village is stitched from real western Jeju: a gold-sand beach facing Biyangdo and the five-day market culture its Seopseop Market recreates. It's Jeju at its most lived-in.
