I don't even know where to start with this drama. My Mister is simply a masterpiece of a show. From the story, the characters to the OSTs, everything was done perfectly.

First off the story is one of a kind, it's an obvious but this drama expresses love in a way i haven't seen before, it isn't the normal love as in a relationship that we normally see in kdramas but it's the kind of love for humans have and the respect that comes with it. I loved the dynamic between Ji An and Dong Hoon becasue they both had pitiful lives but they brought eachother up and essentially saved eachothers lives. If they didn't meet one another, I really think they wouldv'e died an early death and that breaks my heart. I loved the ending to this show as it showed that they are both living thier lives well and also they both said hi to eachother with a smile on thier faces showing they are keeping to thier promise they made to eachother as in when they bump into eachother on the street they will smile and say hi.

Literally all the characters in this show had a distinct purpose to fulfill in the story.

With Lee Ji An, I personnaly think the casting of IU was perfect and she did amazing expressing the character for Ji An. In the first few episodes I cant lie to you I wasn't fond of her character becasuse of the things she did but the more I saw her I could understand her actions and empthasise with her. I even said to myself that the more she listens in to Dong Hoon's life she will feel for him and see that there is another person like him in the small world she was living in. I really loved how she ended up adoring Dong Hoon and just wanted hom to be happy even though her life was far from perfect.

With Dong Hoon, his character was just perfect, it showed us a raw dipitction of man whos had enough of his life and feels worthless. After meeting Ji An he starts to see the good in life after talking to her more and more and helping her with her issues. The scene that impacted me the most with him was when he was talking to Jeong Hui saying that there is someone that gets him and his pain, also the scene where he went to the loan shark and fought with him. These 2 scenes really just shows how much Dong Hoon respects and treasures Ji An as a human being.

Even though this show wasn't a romance, the bond that the two leads shared will probably be the most precious one they share in life even though they will both have different lovers and this shows that every relationship you have in life is precious and you are meant to treasure them no matter the age becasue there was a 20 age gap but they related and conversed even with that gap.

The side characters did thier jobs perfectly as they all had thier own little story to tell in the big picture which only expanded the story. Dong Hoon's 2 brothers are literally amazing, thier relationship shows what a brotherly relationship can be and how precious they are. One thing I dont understand in this story is the Wife that had an affair, she was so addamant on getting Dong Hoon to quit his job and marry the CEO but when everything got found out she began to pity Dong Hoon and helped him in the end in which i'm telling you if I was in Dong Hoons place I wouldv'e got a divorce straight away becasue it went on for a month and if Ji An didn't expose it then they would of gotten a divorce in the end and she wouldv'e betrayed her son and husband.

The OST in this drama was just simply amazing, every song had meaning to the story and just added to the feels and made me enjoy the story that much more.

Before I watched kdramas and when I started watching kdramas I rarely cried at TV shows that I watched becasue I didn't feel a connection with the shows I watched. But in the past half year, I have cried more than I have in my life from my memory, theres something about kdramas that just bring the soft side out of me and teaches me so many life lessons. In My Mister, I learnt that I should treasure all my relationships and be kind to anyone that needs a helping hand.

Overall, If your looking for a romance this is not the show for you. If your looking for a raw dipiction of life and the hardships that life comes with and to see the bond 2 people can share without it being romantic then i reccoment this show to you 1000% because this show will not disspoint.
