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.

Best Drama of all time!

The first is the story. The story of this drama the story is well made. The second is Acting/casting. I like the Cast of the show especially IU, why? Because the way she portrayed her character is so good and I also liked all the cast the way they portrayed their characters is not only good but GREAT! The Third is Music. Boy The music really fits the drama especially the song "Rainbow" that song is the emotional moments of the drama. The Fourth is The Rewatch value. I gonna say this, I gonna admit it gets a bit boring in later episodes but when you try to understand the episode then you will enjoy it I watched this a lot of times already, and it's not boring at all. The Fifth is The Overall. Overall the show is just so great the writers of this show should be given o much credit because the way the flow of the drama is the flow is slow but I think a slower flow is better for this drama I personally hated slow-paced dramas but for some reason in this drama, I liked it But recommend this drama I personally enjoyed it and I hope you guys enjoy it too.

My favorite scenes which was really heartwarming (and sorrowful at the same time)

??????
Ep 7 56.20
Ep 8 05.00
Ep 12 30.10 51.50 01.14.40
Ep 13 10.45
Ep 15 01.17.55
Ep 16 07.20

A series that tell people's "failure" which would made us think twice about failure definition itself. At the start the story bonding up the viewers to each of the characters so the viewers would sympathise them, even for the loan shark (played awesome by Jang Ki Yong--strangely, I truly loved him in this role). My heart was painful by watching what they're dealing with and started to understanding every choices each character takes. Eventho the ending gave us "a happy ending" vibes (and I feel happy for that), it can't stop me from thinking this. Life's a marathon, not a sprint. As long as we're living in this world, there is always problems coming out to our face asking for a solution. But all we need is living our sucks life and find our comfort. Just like the Ahjussi's last dialog, "Ji An, have you found your comfort?"

What do I even say? What can even be said about the greatest piece of media I've ever watched? Obviously it has its flaws but wow... Park Haeyoung I love you so much can you please write every show from now on? I just. Wow. Just one of those shows that makes you want to burst into tears just thinking about it. It's so heavy and real honestly one of the best glimpses of just humanity. Lots of mainstream Kdramas are made to be glitzy and glamorous and show you the beauty of the country and the hustle and bustle of the city and then you have My Mister. A show that's not afraid to be show you the gritty reality of humanity and life. It's literally about two extremely depressed people being platonic soulmates and idk it's the best thing I've ever watched. It's sluggish, it's purposefully slow, it's show mostly at night and in the winter so you can just FEEL the seasonal depression and how awful and depressing it is. And it's just so well directed like its INSANE. The way that most of the show takes place at the night so the shots are dark and depressing and the only scenes that are light and feel warm and slightly hearty are when the characters are together in the neighborhood bar. The community coming together is the only time we as an audience or the characters feel any sort of relief or warmth. It's actually insanely brilliant and that's not even considering the PERFECT characters, incredible acting, and lines that make me want to sob for the rest of my life. Jian and Donghoon are in two completely different places but they fit each other well like they really do need each other. Like who knew a depressed 21yo woman with a huge debt and amazing street skills could become besties with the most pathetic 40yo you've ever met. IU gives the performance of a lifetime and everyone else is just great ofc. But that's just what happens when you cast the woman of all time Oh Nara in your show. Also this was Jang Kiyong's best role I said what I said!! And the OST is brilliantly haunting and sets the mood perfectly.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I did not like it

I started this because I love IU, but I stayed for Park Dong Hoon. I wanted him to get everything that he deserves. The man is gold and full of wisdom.

What I liked:
1. Obviously Park Dong Hoon.
2. The friendship the soccer club has.
3. Ji-an's grandmother and Dong-Hoon's mom.

What I dislike: Everything else. First off, IU's acting was topnotch as always, but I found her character annoying and she seems like deciding unwisely at times, making things worst.

Second, the love affair that they've been trying to portray just did not work for me. I mean, the story would still have been great even if they did not add the romance part between Dong Hoon and Jian. It was far stretched. It was also clear that Dong Hoon was not interested with Jian, he just cared for him. But towards the end, they've been trying to push for the romance part further.

Third, I hated the actress. The romance between the brother and the actress was so unnecessary and annoying. Their dialogues were cringy. Tbh, I fast forwarded their screen times. The character of the actress was, I'm sorry for the word, but it was pathetic and empty.

I wanted to stop halfway because maybe this is just not my cup of tea, but I wanted to see Joon Young and the wife get wrecked.

Maybe I expected too much from this because it has a great rating of 9.1, but overall, I did not like it. But thank God, they promoted Dong Hoon.

To each his own.

Can't deny how good it is

So to be honest I have dropped this drama at ep13, not because it was bad but because personally, it made me quite depressed thinking about life and I may pick it up again another time.
My mister is one of those dramas you either love or hate, and even if you hate it it's not because it's not good but because it doesn't fit your genre style well. If your a hopeless romantic or into high action this may bore you. But if you love deep meanings or genres that reflect everyday life with character depth then it would be a perfect fit.
I love that the ML isn't this perfect guy who has life all figured out but he is a normal working man with a crazy family, struggles and hardships and he makes mistakes but is so good compared to those around him. The FL takes no crap and fights for herself but also allows herself to open up to him. There's no romance and if there was it would have ruined it.
Just people finding friendships and learning that life sucks but it's a little easier with others around you.

I am not gonna say much more about the rest of it. I wouldn't re-watch because It's one of those dramas you carry in your memories.

I don't get it

I don't get what everyone loves about this drama, that I'm clearly missing. I powered through 7 eps before dropping, and even that was a SLOG. it's so slow and boring. the characters motivations don't make sense, and their reactions make even less sense.

there were episodes where nothing happens. the plot isn't moved forward. the characters don't develop more. there's no exposition revealed.

clearly, I'm wrong, bc everyone else loves this show to high heavens, but I just don't get it.

My mister is an odd drama with an interesting, unique plot. The first two episodes were so confusing, that I had to put it off and actually concidere dropping it. Fortunatelly, I didn't. The plot grows thick and everything falls in place after episode three, when we get to see the characters, their struggles and their real personalities and figure out what everyone seeks for. Ji Ahn was a nice character. She was poor, and she had given up on escaping her situation any time soon. Her mister, the boss of her department where she works part time, seems a simple guy with family issues but eventually, everyone around him plot for his fall. All the characters of the drama were unique and interesting, though that actress was kind of annoying at some point. I also enjoyed the fact that the story didn't follow any romantic twist, but stayed true to its dark, slice of life focus. So, great performances, great story and great characters.

Depressingly comforting - a real take on life’s ups and downs

Story
A story of mediocrity, suffering and human weakness - sure to tug at your deepest fears.

My Mister explores the layers of everyday people. The slow pace was deliberate and meticulous forcing you to feel the frustration and complexity of human decisions. It is uncomfortable in its real-ness where the viewer cannot simply draw the line between good, bad, admiration or abomination.

This drama explores themes such as:

1. An adverse childhood and how it shapes adult demeanour and decision-making
2. The hopelessness of a stale marriage and decisions it drives
3. Love and piety to family
4. Seeing yourself in another disguised as compassion for their suffering
5. Finding meaning in living and being content
6. A mother’s unconditional love and support

Acting:
I enjoyed Lee Sun-Kyun’s restrained portrayal of Park Dong Hoon. Best scene - confronting his wife with his bottled up anger and despair on full display.

Also intrigued by IU’s take on her character. The coldness and steeliness one would need to survive the harsh realities having nothing.

Reflections and learning:
In the greyest moments of your life, there is hope, solidarity and love. You only need to take a closer look.

The life of a construction engineer who had no direction in life, a pile of dead bones inside his system waiting to be ravished by crows, his junior in University who smiles wickedly at him as his now ever-so dignified and arrogant senior. And the story of him untangling his life as messed up as a swirl of infinitely extruding japchae noodles, and making peace with it and finding something good out of it. A poor girl who grew up too fast, who was forever indebted to and harassed by a loan shark she could not cut ties with.

That was what I saw from this drama on the first time.

The life of a man who would go miles and walk over even the River of Styx, just to help the people around him that he loved: his family, his friends, his coworkers. Anyone who comes to an impasse at his loved ones, he wouldn't hesitate to shatter and kill with the might of his claw hammer. A man who would find happiness and be content because of another woman, not out of a romantic relationship, but out of a truly genuine relationship. Genuine doesn't even come close to describing how genuine their relationship is.

That was what I saw from this drama the second time.

The life of a girl who saw no hope in life, who met a construction engineer, who also saw no hope in in life. They became each other's backbones, cared about each other. Then it no longer seemed like they only had to fight for themselves in life, they could help each other.

This was the third time.

Whenever I learn something new about people in my life, around me. I would always be able to come back to this drama and find things I learned from real life.

My Mister is truly amazing. Any word in dictionary doesn't come close to depicting its beauty.

THE BEST

I'm not gonna say much. Just watch it pls because it has everything you need. except for romance but it has love. You can feel the love between both the main leads not in a romantic way but pure. I always watched kdramas because of the romance but i never knew I could watch such a mature series and still love it. Just watch this drama you wont regret it. At first you may feel its going to slow. But eventually youll love it. Thats what it is for me. And as far as IU all i have to say is damnnnnn. I always thought why do ppl hype her but guess what she deserves all the hype. she served in this series.
