My Mister (2018)

Kang Yoon Hee's character

Kang Yoon Hee is a actual bitch & whore. All she knows to how to get fucked up/sex (have an affair) with Do Joon Young. And when Kang Yoon Hee found out that Park Dong Hoon knows about her affair & Do Joon Young will not going to marry her, she acted liked a complete fucked up bitch/whore. She felt guilty that Do Joon Young will not going to marry her. She didn't felt any guilt towards her husband (Park Dong Hoon) and her son. She is a real life slut and a bitch.

Park Dong Hoon seems like a genuine guy who needs lots of love & for him, family comes first. But this bitch went all the way around to get fucked up with his junior. And she also wanted to get Park Dong Hoon fired from that company.

Seriously, she is a actual whore. Fuck her.

Al principio no quería verlo, me parecía melodrama tedioso y menos con IU; pero una amiga me insistió tanto que la empecé.
Debo decir que es una historia adictiva, pero extremadamente pesada, te absorbe toda la energía, fui incapaz de hacer maratón, a lo máximo veía dos capítulos al día, mi cerebro no daba para más.
Cuando avanzas te das cuenta que no es una historia, son varias historias, contadas desde ángulos diferentes, pero que buscan un solo objetivo: mostrarte que todo tiene solución y que lo que crees ha sido lo mejor, estás fuera de la realidad. Muchas veces te has quedado en la zona de confort y no avanzas, te sientes cómodo y no luchas por salir del hoyo en que has caído, hasta en muchas ocasiones no te das cuenta de la gente maravillosa que puedes conocer o que tienes a tu lado.
El personaje de IU es magnifico, solo vino a sonreír al final del drama, pero me enseño mucho; Ji Ah me enseño que ante las adversidades no hay nada mejor que enfrentarlas sin importar los resultados, en defender lo que quiero y que no deje de soñar.
Los demás personajes, enseñan que nunca es tarde para vivir el sueño, para arriesgarse y salir de ese confort, y que el pasado con sus buenos y malos ratos, siempre dejará lecciones que valoraremos más adelante.
En resumen, este es un drama que aunque no sea apto para todos, si necesitamos verlo, porque no tiene nada de fantasía, son historias reales representadas por excelentes actores, incluida IU.

Good, but very serious

It was definitely a good watch, but it's pretty serious (& sometimes depressing). I will say there were some moments where it was challenging for me to watch relating to the ideas based on values & traditions. There were also times were I found the brothers and even the main character pretty annoying, but not detestable. I am glad that it didn't go down the route other shows go down with the ML & the FL. It also wrapped up nicely so that was another plus. While I did enjoy the show overall, I don't think there's much replay value. Also, they do a really good job of making the villains the most unlikeable people.

Come back to reality of hell

Man! how to describe this one. You can see the every normal middle aged Asian man life which consists of up & down. It was relate to the core that I was watched this drama one sitting. IU and ML was like a ocean that taking everything throw it to them. ML was lonely and feel empty inside. He was tried so hard to keep the family. Please accept the fact that you can have 1000 reasons to hate and fight to your husband but it was not justified that you can start the affair. Cheating will lead to hell and kill the person that you most liked. ML wife was not aware of that ML loved her so much and stood her. Yet she asked why ML was stick together not because he didn't loved her. IU told her that if you know someone always asking you if you need anything when come to home means he was love you the most. It was bring you the roller-coaster feelings from your inside.

A very moving story about two lost souls

I'm so emotional after the last episode ??

What I liked:
- IU's performance. I love love love Ji An's story. It's basically similar to Ash from Banana Fish - someone good growing up in a horrible situation, having to do soul-crushing things to survive, becoming ground down and hardened, but coming to life when someone is kind and warm to them and seeing that life can have good things too and finally learning what it means to be alive and human. What a great analogy for childhood trauma. So many moving and scenes lines from Ji An/IU ?? I really loved her arc
- Male lead, played by Lee Sun Kyun, was great too
- I love the theme of community and family, I loved the music, I loved the directing - very stylish - and I really liked all the side characters
- Lee Ji Ah's character is someone I didn't think I would like but her arc was really ?
- refreshing that a life drama doesn't have romance as its center point

What I didn't like:
- pace was very slow for someone like me who is easily bored and imaptient. I had to put this show on fast forward and skip scenes sometimes. The last episode had so many emotional punches; I wish the writer had kind of paced them throughout the entire series, coz most of the series is REALLY slow
- some of the sideplots were kind of uninteresting, I didn't really care about them and their inclusion felt abrupt (especially the monk)
- there were some themes that I felt like the drama didn't portray so well, the biggest of which was Lee Ji Ah's character, Kang Yoon Hee. I did not like how marriage was portrayed, I did not like the way they treated her character when it came to the affair

Slow and Gentle, that became Meandering.

At its best, show was heartwarming, emotional and a think piece on the impact of the consistent everyday kindness on even the most hopeless and that was when I loved it best. For the first 11-13 episodes, I enjoyed what I was given though sometimes I just wanted it to move. They started miserable and a bit pitiful and they ended better??

Spoilers below!!!
Honestly I don't think the end was satisfying.
What happened with PDH and his wife? Are they still together? Is there hope? Is it over??
What happened with eldest brother and his wife? Do we just assume he will pay the loan and it's all good??
Why is mom always apologizing and sorry to PDH's wife like she has it rough for being a working helping wife? Old school mindset?
Spoilers ended!!!

I don't think I liked any character in the show. Maybe just the youngest brother, he was straightforward and refreshing in a show I felt many had the same note.
At its worst, it stretched beyond what was needed, almost too much crying and I just wanted to see it end.
Maybe I watched it at the wrong moment because I really like the slice of life without romance genre very much. I'd saved it since 2021 after hearing amazing things about it and I think I can see how it's so beloved but at the time I watched it, by ep 13, I started working while it ran in the background and didn't care to see what I'd missed cos it just felt repetitive and dragged..

Sometimes I really liked it but I never loved it.

WOAH JUST ...WOAH

today i finally finished my mister kdrama and i….i have so many things to say about this one. first of all i got this recommended by a tiktoker, the person first said ‘this kdrama changed the way i live’ that might’ve been a little exaggerated but honestly …i did not expect it to have this much of an impact on me. i don’t speak about kdramas like this often but you could’ve probably guessed by the ones i do post that i watch romantic based dramas mostly. and dramas like my mister which don’t contain romance at all aren’t usually up my taste because i don’t like serious stuff— especially when they leave an impact on me. what i mean by that is basically they leave me with a feeling i can’t explain. i feel this way when a movie or a tv show ends in a sort of happy way but im not satisfied with it but i can’t do anything about it…and that’s how it felt with this kdrama. i’ve cried so much watching it, and i don’t cry that much when i watch shows or movies. at first my perspective on the show was romanticised, which is something i despise about my brain. why do i always have to make everything romantic?…but watching it further and getting attached to characters and realising that the point in this story wasn’t romance but the connection you make with a person. whether it be platonic or not, which was the case in here. i wanted both of the main leads to end up together which is actually a really bad idea cus of the age gap? but when you grow further into the story i realised just how much of an impact a non romantic ship can have on me…which has never happened before. i’m not sure what to call the main leads’ dynamic. maybe father daughter duo? but that sounds kinda fucked because the girl liked him…so i’ll just stick with soulmates. because— AGGHH i can’t explain why, you just have to watch. they care for each other so deeply when no one else did, and though there was love which was one sided- the story wasn’t focused on that. it was focused on their support for one another and how even though there was something unreciprocated separating them, they couldn’t just let go of one another like that. idk…sorry for the rant- i just really love this kdrama..yup

i feel like at start i shipped donghoon and jian as well but they’re so much more better when they grew as close friends. there’s many people saying they would’ve appreciated a ‘kiss’ or a real hug but wouldn’t have that just ruined everything? i get that donghoons wife cheated on him which is a big part of why i ended up shipping him with jian in the first place (she treated him mmuuuuuch better) but from donghoons perspective that would just be out of character and just…wrong. he has a kid he needs to still raise, making him fall in love with a 20 year old just because she showed kindness to him at his worst stage would make his character very different in my opinion. donghoon knew jian liked him but he never let that ruin what they had, and i loved that. he drew a line between them and understood that this was just a pitiful soul just like him who seeked comfort and that happened to be him ..and he seeked comfort in jian as well. thats what made this story so compelling to watch. they loved each other so much, and i truly believe donghoon might even love jian more than his own wife (which is understandable). i feel like i could rant about this kdrama forever holy fuck???

Capolavoro

Un drama fuori da ogni cliché..davvero bello!
L interpretazione favolosa non credevo che IU fosse così brava.
La storia anke quella molto bella..non ha niente di eclatante nessun colpo di scena solo pezzi di vita Ke scorrono.. tutto perfetto.
Bello anke il lato bromance, tre fratelli Ke per quanto diversi sì sostengono e si capiscono al volo.
Quando la ho finito ero strana m ha messo addosso una grande malinconia,avrei voluto un seguito, perché quando si apprezzano i personaggi di un drama ,c'é la voglia di sapere coma va a finire? Cosa farebbero poi?
Questo drama è un inno all'amore
A qualsiasi forma d amore

Mixed Emotions

I'm conflicted about the ending. Mostly, I enjoyed it because the actors sold the drama, but the writers put too many characters into the storyline, and the "unequivocal love" was a waste at the end. **SPOILER** The two main characters have a complicated emotional relationship. After enduring and embracing each other's hardships together, they have a lot in common despite their age difference. In the end, he and his wife are still together: yet, she and their son are living in the US now while he stays in Seoul. He seems to keep his promise and is living a happy life as a CEO, and she has found peace in her new life. Both have grown together and separately with great admiration for one another. It was an okay ending, but they may have well never seen each other again and just kept tabs on each other through mutual friends. Although you see a possible rekindle deep emotions through a small hand gesture and eye contact, it's just left up to your imagination.

This is the best gift you can give to yourself

I loved this story so deeply, it melted my heart completely. I loved every single caracter. For once there is a story that talk about profund love not in a romantic way, just lost people that need someone who belives in them and been there where in needs. Just kindness, compassion and trusting, first for ourselves, against the hardness of life. This is a gift for everybody, reminding us that everyone needs a second chance, that nothing is set on a stone and that is possible to love and be loved in very significant way, even if the one who give it to us is not related neither by blood nor from long time friendship or age.

An unforgettable masterpiece.

I usually watch only thriller and action but decided to give this drama a go because I've read so much praise about it.

And now after finishing it I can say My Mister is the easiest 10/10 I have ever given. No other show, western or Korean, has affected me emotionally like My Mister has.

It is an absolutely beautiful story of two depressed and troubled people who heal and save each other.
My Mister is depressing and sad at some points, but most importantly it is hopeful. My Mister shows how important it is to be kind to others and how important it is to have caring people around you.


My Mister (나의 아저씨) deserves the perfect rating of 10/10 and it is a must-watch show for everyone.
