Although the K-drama series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' show wrapped up two weeks ago, it still has fans buzzling as one specific scene caught the attention of Bollywood fans and it's all because of lead actor Kim Seon Ho.
Kim Seon Ho's swoon-worthy moment
Kim Seon Ho, who plays Park Chung Seop in the show, went viral after a particular scene in the wedding episode. In it, Chung Seop is about to marry Geum Myeong, and the moment she walks into the wedding hall, he's completely smitten. As their eyes meet, he tilts his head, smiles like he's in a dream, winks at her, and even pretends to faint from the sheer beauty of it all. Geum Myeong, clearly flustered, hides behind her bouquet, while her father, Gwan Sik, quietly watches the whole thing.
It's a cute, dramatic moment that's left fans swooning. But here's the twist, the OTT platform streaming the show, posted the clip and compared it to one of the most famous Bollywood moments of all time, starring none other than Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan's 'Om Shanti Om' moment
Anyone who's seen 'Om Shanti Om' remembers the iconic scene when SRK's character, Om, sees Deepika Padukone's Shanti Priya walk the red carpet. She's stunning in a sparkling pink gown, and as she turns around to look at him, Om-completely lovestruck-faints right on the spot. He's dragged away by bodyguards, but his eyes never leave her. As this happens, the track 'Aankhon Mein Teri... ajab si ajab si adaayein hain' plays in the background, making it one of Bollywood's most unforgettable romantic moments.
Fans can't get enough: Bollywood and K-drama collide
The response on social media has been nothing short of hilarious and heartfelt. Fans jumped at the comparison, with one user commenting, "Both green flags on one screen," while another said, "SRK did it first!" Many fans are even calling 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' "so Bollywood-coded" and saying it's the perfect example of "When K-drama meets Bollywood." It's clear that people love the crossover between the two worlds, and it's easy to see why.
