'When Life Gives You Tangerines' staff member reveals how kind Park Bo Gum was and his thoughtful gesture

Another touching story about Park Bo Gum has come to light, once again warming the hearts of fans.

Recently, a designer identified only as 'A,' who worked as a spatial designer on the Netflix Series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' shared a behind-the-scenes story through their social media. 'A' explained, "During filming, things were so hectic that I accidentally left my iPad next to Gwan Sik's jar, and the scene was shot with the iPad in the frame. Eventually, the director gave the OK for the scene."

Although the designer had made the mistake of leaving their personal item in the scene, Park Bo Gum didn't reveal the mistake or blame the designer. Instead, Park Bo Gum smoothed over the situation by saying he wanted to review his performance.

'A' shared, "Park Bo Gum said to the director, 'I think my acting was a bit awkward there, can I check the monitor again?' He was trying to cover up my mistake by taking the blame instead."

The designer continued, "He later handed me the iPad and said, 'You didn't get caught, don't worry about it,' and even winked at me." 'A' added jokingly, "The three members of the art team who witnessed that moment still haven't recovered. For the record, two of them were men, and the other was me."

Park Bo Gum’s down-to-earth nature and warm consideration left a deep impression on the staff, adding yet another story to his collection of admirable moments.

Meanwhile, Park Bo Gum is receiving rave reviews for his portrayal of the romantic and sincere Yang Gwan Sik in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' with many calling it another defining role in his career. Both domestic and international fans have praised him as "The perfect man who doesn't seem to exist in real life."
