When Life Gives You Tangerines
' has been at the forefront of headlines for its global popularity. Recently, however, many revelations have come forth from alleged cast and crew members of the popular show that highlight the cruel and harsh nature in which the show was actually filmed.
Cast and crew take to social media, sharing their 'cruel' experience on the set
Recently, various posts have gone viral online calling out alleged damage of rented props and cars, abuse, as well as mistreatment of the extras on the set of the popular K-drama. As per Koreaboo, these posts surfaced one by one, with the initial one being shared by a prop-renting company.
In the online posts they alleged that the production crew of the K-drama was extremely rude to them, even after they were called out for their wrongdoings. According to the company, any kind of change to the props is not allowed if it will be long-lasting and potentially damaging. They alleged that the crew was using lacquer to stencil the rented buses, causing permanent change to the props.
The post shared that 'Our company staff were stationed on the set to 'facilitate' the use of the props (we really were just there to keep an eye on them) because the production team had zero skills to operate the retro buses or large props that we rented or made for them, and they damaged them all. They were either ignorant or irresponsible. Of course, we took photos of it all and made claims later.'

The post continued that instead of accepting their mistakes, the production crew cursed them out. They stated that 'I still remember it. They were caught trying to use lacquer from ironwork stores to stencil the bus, and the person who did it said, 'Can't you just use lacquer thinner to remove it?''
Extras from the show also come forward with new allegations
After the previously mentioned post went viral online, many other crew and cast members from the sets of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' came forward to share their story. The online posts read, 'There's a detested, yet famous, schedule amongst the extras for WLGYT too… They forced extras to shave their heads, and despite being a Netflix production, nothing was provided.'
It was also alleged in the online post that the team did not care for anyone beyond the main actors of the show. They shared that 'They didn't want to spend money on anyone else appearing on the show but the main actors, so they tried to scrimp and save LOL. They even neglected the elderly extras in the cold winter and made people starve without providing a food truck or craft table, throwing us to a random restaurant and telling us to eat within 30 minutes…'
The posts also alleged that the team at the sets of the K-drama also did not allow most extras to wear insulated clothing in the middle of heavy winters, as 'they said that it would ruin the fit of the costumes'. They continued by saying, 'But it's in the dead of winter. Who would even notice extras in the background? They really treated us like slaves.'
While no comment has come forth from the team of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' so far, these posts online have amassed a lot of support and reaction from the public.
