I've only watched kdramas for the last few months but most of them are entirely forgettable, even when very enjoyable. My Mister is the rare exception. Dark and achingly poignant, well-acted and respectful of the complexity of being human. It was so good I signed up for this site purely to leave a review.

I found many of the characters--particularly Dong Hoon's family--unbearable at the beginning, but as the show went on, it stopped feeling like caricature and began to feel like the way that family feels sometimes; alternately rewarding and infuriating. What I loved the most is that at the end of the show, they were still doing those obnoxious things, yet I found myself fond of them and willing to overlook their idiosyncrasies. That's a magical thing to convey in a TV show.
