My Mister (2018)

I didn't know about this drama until I saw the results of the polls 2018. This was so good. I love IU (actress or singer) and I couldn't imagine anyone who could portray Ji An better than her. Also I really liked Do Joon Young and Kwang Il, the actors portrayed their characters very well. The other characters made the story much better.
The music was gorgeous, even if they're not the type of music I listen. I liked the old songs from this drama, as well.
Now, I want to see more dramas which could give me the vibe this drama gave to me. I will surely rewatch this someday.

This is the first ever review I'll share. Which is really a big deal for me. Since I always have this feeling that my reviews,comments,feelings, and feedbacks from every drama I watched are all one-sided, like it's too much of a personal opinion for me so I couldn't care less about sharing it to people. 'nyways, here's the thing, i wasn't at all prepared about what I'll get from this drama. I just thought I'm gonna see a different one, well yes I did but the emotional rollercaster was what really made me have these deep feelings for the drama. All emotions was felt through my heart. Who would've thought that the gloominess and that monotonous ways of the characters would make a huge impact, that's really some bomb acting right. This ain't a romantic drama but deym u gonna feel the love, that love feeling that makes you cry, well it made me cry, a lot, even now while I'm typing while having flashbacks of the scenes. That's how far it got through in me. After finishing every set of episodes every night, the scenes and the feelings would still linger when I close my eyes. I think there's no end to this review about how it made n impact for me so I'm gonna end this by just telling to WATCH THIS RN if you wanna feel that mixed emotions playing in your heart and be captivated by the bb acting of characters.

I had finished watching "My Mister "and I had loved it. Iu acting was so fascinating. It's worth watching it.
All the characters was so good they were totally in to it.
The Male lead is also good, the most importantly Iu character is good.
I also liked the music of this drama, Sondia voice was very soothing, all the ost's were also good
U all will probably love watching the drama.
The screenplay is good as also the story Is too good.
I am a fan of Iu and also her acting is good In this story
Her character is different from other stories, in every drama she plays a role as a baby doll and in this drama she was very bold, her character as a child only very sad. She suffers from the childhood and as a result she became bold and continues her life as a bold girl. When she meets the male lead she analyzes his life and his character and finally fell for him.

The A-Typical KDRAMA that is worth the watch

So I'll start by saying I've watched this drama several times now. I even got my wife to watch this drama even though she was reluctant because she was not a fan of the main character. She ended up also loving this drama.

What I liked initially about this drama is there was no rich, handsome CEO or young, spoiled son of a billionaire driving expensive cars and wearing expensive clothes. It was refreshing to see something about a middle aged, hard working office worker who happens to get caught up in some struggles. Someone that didn't have a hidden talent for fighting 10 people at once or endless riches behind him. Everything just seemed more normal with an intriguing story line.

I never knew who this actor was, nor did I really know who IU was. I was just amazed because I thought IU fit the role perfectly and did a fantastic job. I only found out later that IU was a singer and maybe she is not great in some other roles but for this role I thought she played the part perfectly and my wife was initially surprised that I thought she was an excellent actor. Well, that was until she finished this series with me.

In any case - I don't write reviews often but this is something that will appeal to those that are sick of some of the typical cliches that fill kdramas. The acting is wonderful with some heartbreaking moments that will burn into your memory forever.

This drama is a perfect fall and winter drama when you want to feel

I have now rewatched this drama 3 times and I can say I will never get bored of this story. So many lines stick with me and Lee Jin character will forever be my favorite character IU has played. Really lovely story that not hard to understand a legit story about life. The hardships the connections everything is shown in this drama. I really wish dramas like this were more popular in Korea so they could make more of them. This drama really was only pulled off because of the emotion the actors have but in. I feel sometimes dramas now would include some sad stories but the story itself would be emotional not the portrayal of the actors. I recommend this drama to everyone who might feel alone or is going through hardships. Very healing

Heartwrenching at certain points

I honestly have to say that Jang Ki Yong totally stole the show for me. From his first scene, I knew that he and Ji-an would have some sort of history, and indeed he turned out to be the most layered and gray character. He had one of the best development arcs I'd ever seen, and the acting was top-notch.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the development between the leads as well, but it just didn't captivate me the same way, save for a few scenes that were actually really touching.

I wish I could rate this higher but it actually took me so long to get through this drama, and even mid-way it was hard to find the motivation to keep going. I think part of this was the amount of time dedicated to the side characters — while some did grow on me, especially when they interacted with Ji-an in later episodes, for most of it I didn't care much for many of their scenes and it just very disjointed from the main storyline.

Once in a Blue Kdrama Moon

Not often do you come across a series you acknowledge as a technical masterpiece in terms of it’s quality, buuut stopped in personally acknowledging it as a masterpiece in your perspective.

This drama has almost everything a gritty, dark tone lover can ask for, the cast is stellar. You’re left with no room of preference of any actor replacing any of the cast since they execute their roles flawlessly.

The subtle sub genres they sprinkle over each episode makes you not want to mainly see this show for its romantic elements, it’s overly dramatic moments/characters, it’s severely dark themes. It has you see it for every thing it has to offer, combined under one word, Phenomenal.

Alas, with such great quality all around, I can’t help but to be taken out of the pool of “Masterpiece!!! One of its kind!!!” viewers because of one huge turd in the pool, known as believability.

Now don’t get me wrong, the series for the most part is definitely beyond believable, buuut there lies a certain character(with a HUGE impact on the story btw) that has an upbringing.. that doesn’t align with their current actions. Can you guess who? I’m sure most can and have.

This “specific” character has gone through hell with the FL, even once used to be the FL’s protector, or more so comforter? BUT the main person(his father) both of them opposed and were traumatized the most by in their past, is killed by the FL as someone finally decided to defend themselves. For the sake of the plot, forget this character having to live in this hell hole everyday, forget being there to witness the shit his father has been putting others through constantly due to others’ misfortune. Forget once trying to be the one bonfire warming the FL in this cold cruel world they’re living in. SHE KILLED YOUR BELOVED FATHER!! TORMENT HER FOR THE REST OF HER MISERABLE LIFE AND SHOW HER THE PAIN YOU’RE SUDDENLY GOING THROUGH FROM LOSING HIM. Take over your father’s path that you hated seeing hurt others. You don’t need believable reasoning, you don’t need consistency behind your actions, hell let’s even begin to humanize you well over half way in the story.

This singular aspect may have not been as much of a flaw as it has been for me, hell for whatever reason one has it may not have been a flaw at all for some as well. But the lack of this character’s development believability ruined what could’ve been a masterpiece for me as well. A shame really, but overall , no one should miss out on this series because of this, and will always be an easy recommendation coming from my mouth anytime somebody needs something that fits.
