A set design staff member working on the drama WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES, only referred to as 'A', recounts that during a particularly busy shooting atmosphere, he accidentally left his iPad on set. Unbeknownst to him, the iPad was captured in a scene that had been approved by the director for use in the final broadcast.
The iPad was located right next to the main character Gwan Sik's props, and its presence had the potential to disrupt the continuity of the scene. However, due to the busy schedule of the production team, this mistake went unnoticed by the other crew members and the director during the filming.

Instead of allowing the staff to receive reprimands or feel embarrassed due to the oversight, Park Bo-Gum chose a very subtle and understanding way to save the situation. He pretended that his acting felt unsatisfactory and asked the director to review the scene again.
According to staff member 'A', Park Bo-Gum said to the director, "I feel my acting was a bit stiff in that part, can I see the monitor again?".
He intentionally said this to divert attention from the staff's mistake, as if he wanted to review his own performance while actually protecting his colleague behind the scenes.
3. Returned Items and Leave a Soothing Message

The staff felt very touched by the actor's demeanor and shared this story on social media. In his post, he even jokingly added that the three other team members who witnessed the moment still couldn't move on from Park Bo-Gum's gentle and delightful treatment.
