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.

Lets Live Happy Life!!!
I know small things matter in life but I never knew it can have a huge impact on a person...This drama taught me why small bits of hope can change a person's life...If there is only one person by side you can live and survive…I want the drama to continue but I don't want it at the same time...The drama is so satisfying till the end and the drama knows how to end an episode…
The journey our characters go on in this drama is so real and believable it feels like seeing real people living their lives...This drama is so mature in how it handles things...Things I can understand but I don't know how it will feel if it happened to me…
Our main lead is not a “K-drama male lead” he is a middle-aged man making millions who want to die but can't because of this family, there is no one who can understand him until one person enters his life...Her name is Ji Ahn played by IU...she is a cold character who does not get along with anyone and can do anything for money...as you watch the drama you will see why she is this way and you will cry for her…
Every character has something in the show that has layers to them...The male lead in this drama is my fav lead in any Kdrama (Park Dong Hoon played by Lee Sun Kyun)...and If I watch his drama when I am in my 40’s...I may cry even more for him
I love this drama...I am writing this after re-watching it...Saying small things like "Hang in there", "You are a good person". "Its not a big deal", "Want me to get you something" can really help a person live

I was moved to tears by this movie
It's such a humane story and delves into the thoughts of the normal everyday man trying to make ends meet and the the trials and tribulations they go through. The story was impeccable and showed that even if you fail there is still hope.It just allows you to see human beings as beings and empathize and even recognize yourself in them.
This is definitely a learning experience and I highly suggest that it's very much worth watching
The actors we very good in their ability to interpret how they were feeling and it showed how people view grief, success,failure and happiness and the emphasis places on trying your best to find comfort in your life no matter what life throws your way.
I was a bit hesitant about the story in the beginning because I thought it would be another cliche of a story but it ended up being so deep and pensive that I found myself weeping alongside these characters. I guess you could say they really do hit the nail on the head with regard to they tell the story of the every day man

Best thing ever to watch
This is a kind of story that at the end you can't find a word or phrase to describe the worth of it.Truly say this is a worthwhile drama.
I know the actors act amazingly but what made me fascinate were the plot and dialogs.
I got sick of shallow and mundane dramas and movies, I always wanted to watch some real and authentic characters far away from any cliche in such a realistic story. Guess what, My Mister fulfill this wish.
I love it and I'm going to watch it again and again and again...

everyone needs this Ahjussi in their life !!!
I'm cursing myself right now for having put off watching this for so long even when it was in my watchlist for ages.....i feel i'm not worthy to rate this show...perfection is an understatement for how comforting, healing and overall amazing this piece of art was...rarely has anything on screen moved me so much ...every character was so beautifully written and had such layers...the screenwriters deserve every accolade possible for crafting this tale which depicts the power of vulnerability and kindness and how a small gesture from your end could mean the world to someone going through a tough time...in terms of acting everyone brought forward their A game..i really liked Lee Sun Kyun in Coffee Prince but his performance here was so meticulous that he made me feel everything that his character was feeling..and IU ..ohhh IU ...where do I even begin...one of the best acts ever..the amount of emotions she portrayed while keeping a straight face as required by her character was tough nd she nailed it so well...My most favorite part of the show obviously were the interactions between the leads and the beautiful relation they had ..I also loved the scenes with the 3 brothers hanging out together...
Overall if i have to rate this - 100000/10....i feel even this is less...

A Masterpiece!
There is nothing more that can be said about this drama which has not been said already. So i can just start by showing my own dedication for this drama by opening an account just to review it after 2 yrs. You can tell about the quality of a drama if you cant find its replacement even after 2 yrs.Now to start, The people who should avoid this drama? - Pre- teens / teens , those who still live in fantasy world!
Who should watch it? - Any Adult or mature person with enough life experience will truly appreciate this masterpiece.
What is the specialty of this drama? - Other than the usual like smooth & packed storyline, Great acting , OST etc
the real deal of this drama is how it captures greatness in simplicity. Now dont get me wrong I
appreciate all the supernatural dramas too but this is on another level its like watching Breaking Bad first time and not finding words to describe it. In this show you'll see what walking with a heavy heart feels, what it really means to have a warm heart, what integrity looks like, what being a family really means , what guilt actually feels like, what to Love sby really means!(Not the lead), what renunciation really means, the joy of companionship, and last but not the least how to show immense Love, Respect and admiration without WORDS!
Any special character? - Other than the leads (3 bros and The girl), there are 4 special characters - 1.The lady shop owner, 2. The cleaner , 3. The grandmother, 4. the Monk. You'll know why they are special when you watch the show.
Any drawbacks? - The only drawback I can think of is a character related to the youngest brother that character should not have been given that amount of screen time, and That's why I am not giving it 10\10.

Do not go into this show expecting either a romance or a comedy. Instead, you will get a heart-warming story expressing themes which will change your perception of grief, life, depression and the good in human beings.
The story of "My Mister" is not your average cookie-cutter drama plot. The themes of hardship, happiness, love and redemption are all consistently strengthened and expressed through beautifully written story and character design. It is rare to come across a drama that feels as if each scene holds the writer's thoughts and beliefs, as if they were speaking directly to you.
A struggle a new watcher may find in this show is the pacing of the plot. The story itself is slowly paced, but grows deeper and more intricate as you spend more time with each character. As you begin to learn the truth about Dong Hoon, Lee Ji An and how the two change each other's fate, you will come to understand the significance of this story. If you find the beginning episodes boring, please endure it and see the story through, you will not regret it.
While the show is fantastic, I do not think that a rewatch is necessary and would not enhance the story.
The music in a drama is meant to compliment the scenes and strengthen the emotions. Many people obsess greatly with the music of a drama, but I believe it should only be taken alongside the scene, rather than analyzed seperately. The soundtrack has a handful of songs, all timed well enough that each scene feels complete with it. However, there were some scenes where it felt worse because of the music. Overall, complimentary and works with the emotions.
Please consider watching, this was one of the best experiences I've had in dramas.

um drama que me trouxe aprendizados
My mister me ensinou que envelhecer não é um problema e não é o final da vida, me ensinou também que não precisamos ser bem sucedidos para sermos felizes e pequenas atitudes já são o suficiente para isso. Aprendi sobre o amor e admiração, também sobre arrependimentos e perdão. Não posso descrever o quanto amo esse dorama e como ele foi importante para a minha vida..

An Emotional Masterpiece
It's really hard to explain My Mister to somebody, as I found recently when trying to convince a friend to watch it. But you really, really must. The synopsis isn't exciting - an unhappy man in a good job meets an unhappy girl in a minimum wage job and the two help each other, whilst surrounded by office politics, grim personal lives and the odd comedic moment. Where this drama really comes alive is in the acting, the characterisations and the reality. This drama is so real, gritty and sadly relatable and does a wonderful job of portraying the value of human connection.The male lead, Park Dong-hoon, expertly portrayed by Lee Sun-kyun (LSK), is the eldest of three brothers, stoic and very much the one in his family who has "got it all together". He shows little emotion to his family and co-workers, but very quickly the viewer sees the pain he's suffering in his day to day life. He's also a genuinely good person, full of integrity and compassion, and LSK shows a phenomenal amount of emotion through his acting - largely through his eyes and facial expressions in a notably quiet character. You can't help but want the best for him.
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-an, played by the songstress IU (or Lee Ji-eun), delivers the best performance of her career living the life of a young woman in poverty, whose sole purpose in life seems to be taking care of her disabled & deaf grandma in her dilapidated studio. Barely able to scrounge a meal together for herself, she genuinely looks dead inside, and comes across as cold and guarded. It's a remarkable performance from one of Korea's most effervescent personalities. Even more so than LSK, IU's character has numerous heart-breaking moments throughout the show - they're phenomenally performed and desperately sad.
Overall, the story is incredibly hard-hitting. It really highlights problems of poverty, depression and corporate greed whilst making it clear that people can really make a positive impact on each other's lives. With Breaking Bad levels of characterisation, a wonderful supporting cast that I'll let you experience for yourselves, an amazing OST that will make you tear up months after finishing the show, phenomenal cinematography and direction, My Mister is truly one of a kind. You'll be locked in until the end, rooting for everyone to find happiness, walking away with a knot in your stomach with conflicting pain from what you just witnessed and optimism for what might become.
