Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, which has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, has racked up an impressive number of views in just under two months.
The South Korean series centres on a woman called Oh Ae-sun (played by singer and actor IU and Moon So-ri) and her connection with a young man called Gwan-sik (Park Bo-gum), following her story over time amid life's triumphs and setbacks.
The 16-part series first premiered back in early March, and has since racked up a huge 32.9 million views, according to Metro.
When Life Gives You Tangerines sits at a 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, with RogerEbert.com's Sherin Nicole calling the story "bittersweet".
"I cried as much as I giggled, and I hope it's the same for you," the review adds.

"When Life… is one of those rare shows that stays with you much after it has ended," said The Hindu's Sundar Poorvaja.
"There is much that is compelling about this bittersweet, profound life, where the lows are low, and the triumphs bring so much joy. Watch with tissues handy for the tears; both happy and sad. This might be one of the best K-Dramas ever made."
South China Morning Post's Pierce Conran called it "an intimate and simple story" that is "beautifully penned, exquisitely performed and vividly realised".

Meanwhile, Decider's Joel Keller suggested that while "there's nothing inherently wrong with When Life Gives You Tangerines", fans' enjoyment "will fully depend on your tolerance of shows that are more dependent on slice-of-life stories than plot and conflict".
The series comes from writer Lim Sang-choon and director Kim Won-seok and also stars Park Hae-joon, Kim Yong-rim, Na Moon-hee, Yeom Hye-ran and Oh Min-ae.
