I have never watched a Kdrama with a more satisfying conclusion. Making the dismal ordinary life of a structural engineer somehow compelling was no easy feat. I don't know of any other Kdrama that I have connected with on such a deep emotional level. 'My Ajusshi' is the gold standard by which other dramas (and not just Kdramas) should be judged. A slow burn with an inspiring, uplifting, feel-good payoff. The performances were so convincing that I found myself in tears at different times and loudly cursing at my television.
