Behind the Scenes of When Life Gives You Tangerines K Drama – Allegations Surface Online
The controversy began when a prop rental company shared a viral post accusing the production team of the K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines of mishandling and permanently damaging rented props. According to the company, the crew applied lacquer to retro buses, causing irreversible harm despite being explicitly instructed not to make such modifications.
“Our staff were on set to facilitate the use of props because the production team lacked the skills to operate the buses,” the company stated. “Not only did they damage everything, but when confronted, the crew responded with verbal abuse instead of accepting responsibility.”
They added that a crew member dismissively suggested using lacquer thinner to remove the damage—a move that only highlighted the production team’s alleged inexperience and recklessness.
Extras Speak Out: “Treated Like Slaves”
The prop company’s post opened the floodgates for more whistleblowers. Several background actors and crew members stepped forward online, painting a disturbing picture of the working conditions on the set of the K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines.
“There’s a detested, yet famous, schedule amongst extras for **When Life Gives You Tangerines},” one post read. “They forced extras to shave their heads. Despite being a Netflix production, nothing was provided—not even basic amenities.”
The claims continue with accusations of cost-cutting at the expense of human dignity. One extra wrote, “They didn’t care about anyone who wasn’t a lead actor. Elderly extras were left in the cold without proper clothing. There was no food truck or craft table—we were sent to random restaurants and told to eat in 30 minutes.”
Another shocking detail alleged that extras were forbidden from wearing insulated clothing in freezing temperatures because “it would ruin the fit of the costumes.” The poster concluded: “In the dead of winter, no one would even notice extras in the background. They treated us like slaves.”
Public and Industry Reactions
As of now, neither the production team behind the K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines nor Netflix has released an official statement addressing the mounting allegations. However, the online revelations have already garnered intense backlash from fans and industry professionals alike. Many are demanding a thorough investigation and accountability from those in charge of the production.
A Fall from Grace?
The K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines has been a breakout success, praised for its storytelling and Park Bo Gum’s performance. However, the disturbing revelations threaten to overshadow the show’s success, raising urgent questions about labor conditions and ethical standards in K-drama productions.
Until official responses are issued, the show remains under a cloud of controversy, and audiences worldwide are watching closely to see how the situation unfolds.
