(EP 16) My Mister 나의 아저씨 kdrama reaction & review [IU Binge Marathon, 2/6] 

They always know when to play Sondia's song to hit the feels.

really liked your thoughts about it...I've watched this now 3 times...and for me it gets better every time because you notice more and more details that make this such a masterpiece......because every time you see new themes popping up...loneliness, depression, isolation, social injustice, bullying, marriage, love, friendship, death, regret, what it means to be happy, what it means to be successful... the twists and turns of the plot only served the real purpose: to propel everyone forward on their journeys for some sort of healing...The office shenanigans were the perfect catalyst for the real drama... the device of her listening to his life made her loneliness so heartbreaking...and even though they were both depressed...he had all these people around him that would be ready to support him...but she only had him and even that was tenuous...so it was so beautiful when they all brought her into the group... How everything works together in this series, script, direction, acting, camera, design, OST...to me it's not just a tv series somehow...it feels more like art that reaches parts in you nothing else reaches. 👍😎

To me, this is the best drama I’ve ever seen, not just KDrama, but any drama. One of the things I noticed in this drama was how DH’s marriage was not black and white. His wife cheated on him, but Dong Hoon’s elder brother and mother understood, not that they condoned it, but that Dong Hoon was not altogether blameless. There was just a terrible imbalance in their marriage. How they communicated affection and their measures of relationship and life success were completely different and disjoint. I feel that Dong Hoon’s wife appreciated Ji An for opening that window for her, and allowed her to see that although her husband did seem to prioritize his friends and family over her, he did not completely abandon her, it’s just she wasn’t able to see how he was expressing his affection for her. Of course by then the damage was done. And the show followed that up perfectly, as there wasn’t a magical reconciliation or explosive blame-fest. It was just two hurt people trying to move forward, which I thought was an excellent reinforcement of the main theme and characters.

This is her 2 yes means to me.. Yes( I found my comfort in life/stability/job) 2nd Yes ( You my comfort Park Donghoon..let's be honest who really comforts her..his voice his words..his presence everything about him he is her Moon)

I could easily list at least a dozen scenes in the drama that I would consider as my favorites, but I’d emphasize one where I don’t see it commonly included in other people’s list. In ep14 when Ji An is about to be on the run, she dropped by the CEO’s place first to make sure they are on the same page should they be caught and forced to spill the beans. In the conversation, she threatened the CEO by volunteering that she has killed in the past and won’t be afraid to do it again if needed. “I will kill everyone that messes with Park Dong Hoon.” Those words scream LOVE much louder than any utterances of “I love you” can ever express. Such a badass our heroine can be!

Has anyone noticed that his younger brother tells him that next time he encounters a temptation, he can only hesitate for 3 seconds. Then ji-an texts him asking him to buy her dinner, and he sits in the subway for 3 seconds and comes out fast before the doors close. This drama is a real masterpiece 💖

The problem with My Mister is, After you watch it ... it's such a high bar ... every other drama seems like a cartoon. What this drama does that many gloss over is ... Self reflection and Solidarity. True in depth solidarity not just the family blood kind but an extension ... what Koreans call Jeong.

I really like the scene where Lee Jian walks the first time with the neighbors where she also mentioned, she can't wait to be on their age because she would have less problems. Then all of them stopped walking and looked at her. It felt so heartwarming.

That funeral of grandma is still one of my favorite scenes in kdrama history.

“Poignant, nuanced, masterful storytelling.” -a summary lyd didn’t say but meant to What a phenomenal piece of work... wish I could rewatch it again for the first time. Like I mentioned, I unfortunately wasn’t able to even scratch the surface in terms of covering everything so would love to hear YOUR thoughts on this drama! And, I’d you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend you check it out!!!

For me, this drama makes me more emotional than Moon Lovers. My lifetime favorite drama which doesn't get boring even after 3 tries. Their neighborhood is probably the best one I saw in a drama or even IRL. The binding between them all is on another level. It's seriously flawless for me. The storyline, acting, production, OSTs......just everything.

As a middle aged Korean guy just like donghoon, every time I watched this drama, I appreciated two things mostly : One is that I am a Korean so I can understand whole lines and dialogues in hidden and Metaphorical meanings of all totally. Second is great truth that we have a such adorable and precious national treasure, Lee ji eun aka IU for our generations.

I like this kind of Kdrama very meaningful Reply 1988 and My Mister best I've ever watched in my life.

When I finished Hotel Del Luna I wanted to watch another one of her dramas. I kept seeing My Mister and how it was sad, dark and it made people cry. So I was really hesitant In watching this. But I caved and saw it and now I don’t regret watching it. It was such a good drama everyone was so good and it made me like IU more as an actress.

Hey! I cried even watching this video wherein the scenes were not even fully shown with proper audio & bg score. So you can imagine how much I cried when I binged watched it. Definitely one of my fav shows of all times - it is not easy to show the ordinary life with so much depth and impact without losing the interest of viewers/pace of the show. You very rightly said that it's not all-sad sad but very complex sad kind of a show, leaving a feeling of solace & warmth. This show is like a big warm hug at times when I myself don't know that I need some support & someone's presence, when things seem alright but are not really alright. I don't know if I'm making sense but that what it means to me. And yes I also believe somewhere that this show is not everybody. There were definitely a lot of heart warming & touching scenes - well that's why we cried so much but the one that made me sob for quite a long time & I particularly remember this is when ahjussi is alone in his house and he is struggling to put his mind to something so as to not burst into tears but eventually he does & omggg even before he started crying, I already did. Because this is towards the very end and by now, you know all that he has been through and you are already feeling so sad for him & just seeing him struggle holding his tears back, holding his anger, sadness, all emotions pent-up in him, I just couldn't help but cry. Gosh, I can go on and on about this show - it's soo good!! From the love 3 brothers have for each other to the insecurities ahjussi's wife faces before she cheats on him, the insecurities Joon Hyeong had from this school days and the whole life of Lee Gwang, they showed complexities in every character & that's how reality is - so much full of varied emotions, at times we ourselves don't know. Just love the show - a tearjerker with a big warm hug :)

One of my favorite scenes was in ep 15 when Ji An was about to uninstall the app, because it was a lot more significant than I realized. The first time Ji An wanted to help Donghoon was back in episode 5, when after the fuss during their team dinner, Donghoon was walking near the train tracks. He was pacing back and forth and his footsteps seemed uneasy; with deep breaths he kept looking left and right of the train tracks, communicating to the viewers that he was considering ending his life. And when Donghoon slipped, Ji An heard him and she went running over to his location... the first time she felt the need to help a pitiful man who helped her, but was going down in a downward spiral himself. But by the time she arrived, Donghoon struggled to muster the strength to get up and walk forward, realizing that he couldn't die then and there. But even still, his limbs and head were in a dangling posture. But in ep 15, as Ji An was about to uninstall the app, she begins to hear Donghoon again by the train tracks. This time, his steps have a direction: forward. They were sounds of firm and steady steps moving straight. And as he kept moving forward to the train tracks, he didn't once look to the left or right. He had his head held up, and nothing was limp in his limbs as he kept walking. And as he walks past the train tracks, you hear the train come in. The last sounds that she hears through the app are the sounds of the train passing by, while at the same time the firm steps of Donghoon moving forward with direction and firmness. He's not going to go downward anymore nor considering the idea of ending his life. She uninstalls the app, knowing that Donghoon, though pitiful, is okay. Though she'll miss his voice, getting to know his thoughts, and the sound of his footsteps through the app, she knows that it's time to stop listening through the app and trust that Donghoon will live a happy life, moving forward with his firm steps and head held up high Yeah, My Mister is my favorite drama even though I've only watched 30+. I thought the rewatch value would stale but it was better for me! lol

Finished this the other day and was waiting for your finale reaction! 😭💕 If I could describe My Mister in one word it would be HUMANITY. This drama was painfully beautiful. 🥺 I started watching it expecting Donghoon to ‘save’ Jian, but didn’t know that it was going to be the other way around. I have two remarkable scenes in my head! 1. Donghoon in the cinema, who has found out that Jian has been listening to him. When he said “Lee Jian. Lee Jian. Call me.” I HAD GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. 2. When Donghoon was running. 😭✨ what is it with male characters running for the girl that gets me all the time? Also, while watching the last episode, I keep looking in their eyes. Especially Donghoon’s. It’s a mixture of pride, love, gratitude and sadness. 😭 Especially when he finally saw her in episode 15, when they hugged, when she said fighting and when he looked back for the last time at the end. It’s always the eyes. Also, I saw a comment before. “He walks faster whenever he feels himself falling for her.” 😅

Did you notice how Dong Hoon always asks his wife "Do you need something?" whenever he goes to a store? Then during the time their relationship went south he became cold towards the wife, he stopped doing it

I was watching My Ajushi of IU and crying with tissue in my hand. Really beautiful story. But suddenly my Mom entered my Room and she started crying too. In the morning they want to take me to a Doctor.

I finally finished watching the drama and liked it very much. Everyone in it is great but the two main actors are definitely the stars of the drama. I must say the role of Lee Ji An is definitely not one that I would have expected someone like IU to be great at but she certainly showed a different side of her in this drama. The two Lees played the subtleties of the two characters very well. I've always thought of IU as the Korean Taylor Swift as an artist but she's definitely a better actress than Miss Americana.

And one more thing that last line where he called her "Jian" not Lee Ji an not Jianshi not even Jianna..how do U take that?because for me they have now move to next level...and how he says it was in a very very intimate soothing voice...you guys can decide.:)

It my first time watching you. You are so cute! And i love the way you expressed yourself. It feels genuine and honest. "My mister" is one of those special drama you could watch when things are down and the end is nowhere to be seen. Thank you for your reaction and i going to binge waych your other reactions. Fighting!

My favorite scene: The actress telling the bar patrons she likes that they're all failures because seeing that they've continued to live their lives afterward gives her comfort.

I'm so glad My Mister is still being appreciated :')) i know it's really popular in South Korea, but it didn't exactly click with mainstream media. It did get so much recognition in the film industry tho, including international artists, producers, and musicians :')) it's such a quiet thing tho? i do remember it was barely promoted too, and with the little that they had, it was never flashy or "in-your-face" kind of everywhere. ahhhh IU always has these dramas where I get hurt all the time :'(( i wish for more people to know about this, because it's such a gem, such a good perspective into humanity and emotions and how our mind works in certain situations. it's just so good; it's definitely heavy, but it's an amazing masterpiece :'))) seeing your review made me feel alive hahaha i have to go through this again, but maybe when my emotions are stable enough to withstand this.

Srsly this masterpiece hit me so hard I just can't describe the things that I felt watching this work, the relationships between the characters, the modesty that emanates from the drama. everything is perfect. it's just a life lesson (was so difficult to move on and watch another thing)

I love your reaction (I subscribed right away), and I adore this drama!!! I could spend hours talking about all the nuances of this show, but it's not the place 😝 I'll just write two of my favorite IU scenes, that make me cry with my entire soul: - When Park Dong Hoon told her that her grandmother was entitled to the state aid; 😭 - When she bowed 10 times. 😭😭😭

maybe i missed it and need to re-watch, but i wish Jeong-hui had a happier resolution. she was always so kind, yet she was alone at the end.

Ahhhh tears in my eyes, I love this drama too much! I'm really glad you got to experience this masterpiece. One of the reasons I love this drama is the dialogue, almost every conversation between Ji an and Ahjushi is meaningful and feels so real somehow, also the relationship that they share feels so special, its familial yet its not...I didn't know a relationship like this could exists and that I would like it this much lol. One of the most memorable scenes for me was when Ji an went to her grandma in the hospital and told her she's happy that she met someone like him.

The grandmother scene reminded me of A HARD DAY. He was brilliant in that movie

Okay here I list a summary of my other thoughts. 1. You're right. The story would mean more for a little bit more mature, life experienced, audience. 2. Neighborhood cameraderie. Old fashioned but absolutely beautiful 3. Brotherhood love and fillial piety 4. Middle child syndrome. First child always try hard but fails. Youngest child is always the emotional, hot headed one. The middle child is the quiet one that bottles all his emotions 5. Dong Hoon's reaction to discovering his wife's infidelity was heartbreakingly realistic 6. Ji An and the monk's ex girlfriend describing themselves as errm a thousand years old. May be you can share us some cultural context to this. 7. The big advice from his monk friend that changed Dong Hoon 8. Kwon Nara's surprisingly good acting 9. Difficulty of retired career men in accepting that they have to start again from the bottom. 10. Quote: "when you know someone, it doesn't matter what they do".

Yes top 5👍 💕 🥳 It was just good start to finish.. I loved that you noticed her talking to her grandma in sign language even after she passed away... I just burst into tears AGAIN when that scene was played today in your video.. The change in colour tone / lighting in this drama was super awesome as you pointed out too.. At first I thought he will be saving her n helping her grow but the shocker was when it was mutual... she really helped him more... IU has always surprised me with her acting in all the dramas.. i just love her work💜 UAENA for life🙋🏻‍♀️

Oh, strangely I want to watch it again now! But I'm not ready to cry so much another time at the moment ahahahah It is indeed a drama about life(not the easiest one) and relationships between humans. Not a typical exiting or cliché drama for everyone. But once you watch and understand it, you'll love it for sure. I saw it a couple of years ago, but the impact it then had on me didn't change a bit. Loved everything about this drama... and Sondia OST is one of my favourites!

I’ve watched this drama for so many times already but it still doesn’t fail to make me ugly cry every single time. The actors are just too good and the writers as well. I’m happy that more people are discovering this masterpiece. Actress Lee Ji Eun’s best drama for me. A different side of her was manifested well which made viewers like us see her range as an actress.

Thanks dear for sharing such an Excellent review and sensitive perspective!! One of my favorites K Dramas I can watch over and over!! I love Korea's profound culture for sure !!

She was definitely in love with him, and he was... entranced by her. I like to think that the meal that she offers him right at the end is the start of a romance between the two of them, now that they are both living more stable lives.

You made me go through all those emotions again , i just watched this drama a month ago . Every emotion came hitting back .

The feels came back while watching your reaction! You're right, the sadness is complexa and it left me wanting to see more and to see them succeed together. The impact of these main characters makes you want to do good things to other people. They became my favorite main leads in all kdrama I've watched. Love the character development especially UI's. Dong-Hoon is full of flaws but you'll admire his perspective and outlook in life. I begun to like his personality when Ji-an started to discover his life and became drawn to him. Love how she started protecting him and him caring for her and her grandma. These are the scenes that also had impact on me: 1. When Ji-an and Dong-Hoon talked and she explained why she hit their co-worker and then he said that's okay as long as nobody knows... 2. When he went to the loan shark's office and discovered Ji-an murdered a person. 3. The whole slipper scene when he demanded that he wants the them back. 4. All relationships are precious scene with her grandma. The OSTs are also great that amplifies the emotions. Props to the people behind this masterpiece! Just the best overall! It's one of the best kdramas (if not the best tbh) I've seen so far but sadly I also think that not everyone will appreciate it.

Just cried watching the last episode. Now I'm crying again watching you cry.

The lighting that you mentioned to I think was intentional. If you go back and watch some scenes of the drama you will notice how the lighting is used for happy and sad moments. The first few episodes the scenes were darker but the scenes started brightening up as the drama progressed. I definitely would not blame you if you put this is your top 5 or maybe you just need to do a top 10 list 🙂

From " Buy me food" to "I will buy you food". Lee ji an is one of the most comforting characters. They way she progressed thanks to donghoon just give me faith in my life. you know

Omggggg you guys 🥹🥹🥹 I've just finished this drama, and nothing else compares 😭😭 also I wasnt expecting it - but I actually think there is a romantic love there! With Dong-hoon and Ji-an - what do you think??

just finished this drama and WOW so many emotions. loved so much the two scenes where first dong hoon fights with the loan shark and doesnt waver in his defense of ji an and then to follow that up with the morning soccer club running around the neighborhood trying to find a punk who looked like he'd just been in a fight hahahahaha. a big thank u sm for this recommendation!!! it's truly the top drama i've seen so far.

I feel like it was a little weird to see your episode 1 reaction and then the end of the episode 16 reaction in a span of two days (a little bit of a disconnect, but still liked the video). It's been a while since I've watched this drama but I remember really liking it as well. One of the things I really liked was the brothers relationship and dynamics (especially coming from a family of 3 boys as well) and it really did feel relatable of the dynamics of responsibility and family. Also I never understood the symbolism of the monk's and the bartenders relationship and how it pertained to the overarching themes. Lastly, I know in North American television it seems pretty normal but apparently there was some controversy with the beating scene in the first few episodes. I'll have to rewatch this drama again.

i ugly cried so many times while watching this drama. i finished watching today and my face is swollen😅🙃❤ Really. one of the best❤

I have a Pavlovian reflex to My Mister. When I think about it, when I hear people talking about it, when I see scenes of it, I tear up. It's ridiculous. Good ridiculous.

IU so amazing in this drama. 😍🥰😇 recommend drama

Hi thank you for your beautiful interpretation of this drama I loved it because it wasn't about romance it was about the potential of what could happen in your life if you showed kindness from our main leads morals to our main girls struggle to fight for everything if was one of my great dramas

I can't remember how many times I've watched the last episode. Tears of sadness and joy. Sang-hoon finally got his memorable moment, spending his savings by doing something good for Ji-an's grandma.

This drama is in my top 5. Loved your reaction. I couldn't get enough of this drama so i watched every drama that IU was in 😆. When a drama can make you fall in love with the actors its a good drama.

최고의 인생 드라마!!! 박동훈 그의 직업이 건축 구조 기술사... 가 말해 주듯 건축물의 안전과 붕괴를 막도록 하는 그의 직업과 상반된 그의 삶은 붕괴 직전이었으나.. 끊임없이 일을해도 고작 회사에서 슬쩍한 믹스커피로 끼니를 해결하는 고단하고 처절한 삶을 살아가는 지안과의 만남으로 서로를 걱정하고 도와주며...그리고 그들과 관련된 인간관계들이 굳건히 구조를 이루어..마침내 그가 그만의 회사를 만들어 성공했듯이..그와 지안의 삶 또한 붕괴하지 않고 안전하게 이루어 낸..모든것이 완벽한 구조의 드라마~~~!!!^^

Really liked your reaction!! I'm definitely going to watch this drama ✌

Seriously my mister thought me diff kind of love i nver knew i needed, such an amazing drama hats off to all d cast💜i would say this is d pinnacle of KDramas really

Agree Lyd - only way to describe this is a masterpiece! This show was devastatingly beautiful at portraying such a wide range of emotion - sadness, longing, friendship, family. I also don't know where to begin! It was so unusual to watch a drama where often the most powerful statements are unsaid (the part when the gang walked Ji-An home and the whole funeral scene moved me to floods of tears) but what is said, is so monumental (e.g. Ji-An's 'thank you' on the steps of her house). I just finished it so my head is all over the place but for me, it was such an uplifting drama, showing the pain and struggle of a coming-of-age story of two people in different stages of their lives coming to terms with their humanity and how to survive (and thrive) in a cruel, harsh world. Enough ENG Lit 101, I'm off for a good cry now lol Thanks so much for covering this - was on my 'To Watch' list for a while and so glad that you posted a react so I could watch along with you.

I wonder how many tissues became your victims through the binges 😂

the moment that broke me in million parts was when Ji An says how she loved his every sound even his footsteps :( it was just so emotional to witness such a pure and absolute form of love , this show is pure gold.

Really liked your deeper analysis of the drama and this is definitely in my top 5. I recommended this to everyone that I knew that started watching kdrama during quarantine. A lot of reviews I've read like to analyze the relationships between the characters, but for me it was about the message of finding happiness and showing through Park Dong Hoon what a lot of people lack today in this world...empathy. Some of my favorite scenes include: 1. He finds out about Ji An's childhood history from her caretaker and the reason why she's in neverending debt and then goes and fights Gwang Il. Ji An is listening to the recording and as soon as she hears Gwang Il tell him she killed his dad she stops running and seems to think it's all over now that he knows and she has to go fugitive again. Instead she hears that he would have killed him too and she breaks down, perhaps finally knowing that someone can empathize with her. 2. The panel interview for Park Dong Hoon's promotion while Ji An's listening after going fugitive. The opposition of course has to bring up his decision to hire Ji An based on her qualifications and grilling him on why he didn't fire her after knowing she killed someone. He counters that with why does it matter if the courts already acquitted her as acting in self defense and why are they digging so hard into her past and putting her on trial again. The most powerful quote here is when Park Dong Hoon says "Are companies run by machines? They're run by people." A lot of corporations today need to look at their core values and ask themselves this question. 3. The scene where Park Dong Hoon finds Ji An at her caretakers shed after she runs away before he can find her resulting in her being hit by a car and refusing to go to the hospital. This got me to cry, haven't cried to anything in over a decade. 4. The morgue scene with Ji An and her grandma really hit home too. I feel like there are tons of people that can relate to either character in some sort of way and after finishing it, I know I definitely can.

For me the 2nd time was more meaningful and more cryful. I feel more deeply understand the relationship between 3 brothers. The episode that got me so much was EP.15 especially this scene ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dhVxHZOPJLI.html

I watched this, it's a really sad, depressing series. When I finished it, I wasn't really able to move on, that I had to re-watch the whole thing right after finishing it. 😭

I haven’t even seen this drama but goodness you do such a good job at reviewing, the attention to detail is so enjoyable!

I love IU. Thank you for the reaction, look forwards to more🙏

I love this drama it made me realize so many things about life. It's not overly done it's so sudtle that it feels so real. It teaches kindness, love , forgiveness and all the sad realities of life that we all go through. I like it's open ending . I mean it was a happy ending, but their conversation at end and that hand shake could lead to something ( it's not normal but in reality it happens ) or they could just be friends. Who knows? I love dramas ending that way coz it doesn't just end , it makes you think of possibilities.

best kdrama i have seen..there is a dialogue where the main man describes her as someone who doesnt dress warm enough..which is pretty poignant

you're analysis is bang on....Ive seen this multiple times and I am not korean but american and I think this is in my top 10 of all shows ever on TV..its that special! Of course Ive become a huge IU fan too....

This drama is a school textbook that shows how to grow into an adult. I think adults should definitely watch it.

Glad to find your review. Well done. You should do episode 15 too. So much there to process. 😂🙏

I stopped watching this drama at ep2...coz its abit too depressing for me... But months after... I decided to start watching again... And i just couldn't stop watching.... There's just too many life lessons.. This drama is a tear jerker.... And i love everything about it.. Definitely my top 5 kdrama....

I had two takeaways from My Mister that topped all the other takeaways. One was the way they unflinchingly portrayed the underside of life in S. Korea. It applies to every society everywhere, honestly. Very, very well done. Humanity is a cruel, viscous breed, normally. All human history teaches that. This show brings that all too common truth to the fore, we cannot avoid acknowledging it. The other was that, despite our human tendency to cruelty, our lack of compassion one for another, these things like love, concern, generosity, helpfulness, self-sacrifice really do exist...and sometimes we get to see them up close and personal. The Greeks had three words for love: agape, eros, and philos. This show demonstrated agape perfectly in the relationship between Our Hero and Our Heroine. Philos was as well, in the relationship between the brothers. And the show, just as a TV series was done so masterfully well it's unforgettable. If you haven't yet, Please review Mr. Sunshine. My all time #1 series, from anywhere! IMHO, taking nothing away from My Mister, it's better. Please?

I really love this drama and really appreciate your first and last episode reactions. I would love it if you continued to make more reaction videos on the other episodes too!

I just finished the show too! Almost cried 😢 It is an amazing show and I wished I knew it earlier

Hi Lyd, firstly, thank you for your reactions. I have been watching asian dramas for a long time now, it is always insightful to have another perspective, particularly from someone like you that understands the language, culture, and is so articulate :) My take away from My Mister was the evolution of them as individuals. The power of having a solid foundation should never be underestimated, as the 'safety net' it provides can be both restrictive and rewarding. I think they all needed to take a long hard look in the mirror and make those tough decisions on their own, whilst knowing that the community was always there to keep them 'honest' and be generally non-judgemental. Looking forward to your future reactions, have an amazing 2021, best of luck with your channel

Something to note is that IU wrote the song Dear Moon having Dong Hoon as her inspiration. Basically the moon itself is important through the story. I suggest listening to the song now that you know it’s suppose to be Ji-An speaking of Dong Hoon.

The best movie for me, IU is the best actress I've seen.

I sunscribed you unnie and turned on the notification bell 😊 thank you for reacting/reviewing IU's drama. I am waiting for the next video 🥰🥰🥰

참 어려운 드라마인데 영어로 설명을 잘라시네요. 외국인들이 좀더 잘 이해할수 있을거 같아 좋았습니다.

My Mister for me is a masterpiece

After watching this. I wanted to cry but I just don’t know why

Just watched this movie because I randomly picked it. I wanted to watch IU to see how she is as an actress. I discovered to my glee an actress and an actor whom nobody can surpass in their acting skills. Superb performance. I need to ask a question though. When Ahjussi was crying alone at the end with all the pent up feelings, could his tears also cover his upright principles of love , family life, fidelity and yet having to deny himself the temptation of reciprocating a young girl's deep affection for him? With my heart in my mouth towards the end I was wondering how it would end. I knew it would not be possible to end with anything more than just pure love for Jian because in an earlier episode where he asked his wife how she could have an affair and cheat on him when she's the mother of their son? So likewise, he's also a father and he will not do anything foolish to initiate a divorce and thus jeopardising a break up in his family. This resulted in him having to bear the weight of all the sadness of betrayal, the loneliness that engulfs him, the need to exercise forgiveness and the restrain of getting comfort from Jian , the very name spells comfort ..v ( I found my own answer to my question as I analysed the story. Do you all agree?) Although I see it as he becoming a victim of all that he stood for, it all works out well . And so good triumphs over evil at the end. Beautiful show. Affected me so much and the OST made me replay all the scenes with such melancholy. An overhang. It made all the other dramas pale in comparison. Both the leading actors tugging at my heart. Kudos.

You are so cute . Can I invite you go milk Tea? 😘

Keep up the good work!!

I totally agree with you, your reactions and review are also like mine! I cried a lot watching this episode. Life is not easy... but if you have friend to be there with you, life is lighter. More mature you are, more you enjoy this drama.

It took me a while to get to this series, but WOW... glad I finally watched. Like you said, the show keeps you going, not in cliffhanger way. Feels more like in a segue way seamlessly moving from episode to the next. My favorite part is when IU is remembering her grandmother talking how precious her relationship is with PDH. That all relationships are amazing and precious. Absolutely beautiful. Just one of many great themes from a great series!

최고의 드라마

제 인생 드라마 리액션 해주셔서 감사합니다.

The first and last hug at the end was the best.

Something I noticed was the letter with all the bad language that I think the brother got.. was blurred out on the screen but Netflix subtitles shows you what the letter said. Hilarious 😂 censorship fail. Unrelated but related.. why do Korean dramas blur out knives? What else could it be?! That really bugs me.

ㄴ"My Mister(My uncle)," I saw a lot of dramatic turning point that separates the presence of IU and Lee, Ji - Eun clearly and all actors in (Lee Sun-kyun, Lee Jia, old and new, sonsuk, Go Doo-shim, jeongukhwan, Song dawn janggiyong, Young Min Kim, Kwon countries, Wu, etc. and shining joyeonjin _Actually, it is the best Korean drama with all the main roles) shining. Personally, I affirm that Lee Ji-eun is the only singer and actor who is as great as Lee Jung-hyun of "Alice in Faithful Country". He is one of the few actors who act with his whole body. I was very difficult, but wasn't it the adversity to give birth to a masterpiece? Of course, I respect the consistent concentration of all the writers, directors, scripts, supporting actors, extras, and staff. The Old Miss Diary, and the works of Hae-young Oh's author, Hae-young Park, were a The work that PD Kim Won-suk showed the perfection of the decoration for the United States! Even the OST is the best, there are a lot of quotes about life (life), it's a Studio Dragon work, so you can watch it on Netflix.

i cried real hard on the last episode 😭

yes so touching

Okay, you are making me watch this drama for the tenth time. I can't take this anymore. Stop it!!

The ending to misaeng is in my top 3. Have you thought of a tissue counter in the corner of your video somewhere?

"jian, have you found your comfort in your life?" "Yes..... Yes..." hiks, she found a comfort finally, and he fulfill the promise that he will make sure that he will hear jian lives well when working different place. he ask if she is happy and comfortable now as her name comes from 'comfort' this is really powerful drama, powerful this is important drama to teach adult/young adult to be a very mature and righteous person. we rarely meet good adult ..... we see out parents, teacher but we seldom see such kind adult that can we respect and admire. the same for her , mr park is actually a stranger at first, only his superior in working place but he shows her his kindness far that can her to be expect, he show her by both words and action. this is really important message

Please react to iu series moon lovers u gonna love it

It was not surprising that the wife of the main character in 'My Mister' had an affair, since her husband at the start of the drama was portrayed as a depressed team-manager with all the charisma of a wet-sponge. He drinks every evening with his useless brothers in a seedy bar, arriving home late, drunk and uncommunactive. He shows zero interest in his relationship and seems devoid of enthusiasm, or joy. He weirdly develops an unlikely so-called friendship with a young temporary female co-worker who is also deeply depressed, bullied and extremely manipulative and devious. The drama highlights the hierarchical and bullying culture present in Korean corporate organisations and offers little respite from its bleak and dystopian view of life, love, and relationships. The several sub-plots involving the main character's brothers show them to be a couple of immature losers who drink themseles into a stupor most nights and who naturally fail in almost every endeavour. The main character's response to his wife's infidelity reveals him to be lacking in courage, self-belief and dignity. At the conclusion. His wife clears off to the USA where their never seen son resides and the main character ends up meeting once again the young female employee with whom he's developed some kind of slow-burn friendship over the course of the drama's sixteen episodes. Altogether, the drama was far too long and could have been shortened considerably if the characters had left out the tediously long pauses in their depressing conversations and the many irrelevant sub-plots. Worth a watch though, especially if you're in the mood for yet another long-winded K Drama with no satisfactory conclusion.

Esse drama é lindo do começo ao fim nos mostrando realmente como a vida é,e a cada episódio nos mostra problemas,as causas ,a sensibilidade de cada personagem de certos momentos,certas situações , sentirem medos,raiva,dores,amizade,proteção,proteger alguém que ama,amor de mãe,de irmãos,pelos amigos,amor esse incondicional,sem julgamentos,mas de compreensão.E muito,mas muito sofrimento sentidos pelos protagonistas,sem poderem demonstrar seus verdadeiros sentimentos,mas uma coisa linda de se ver,eles se expressaram com o olhar,eles se entendiam como o olhar,não precisavam verbalizar,falar,só se olharem,já sabiam de seus sentimentos.E ,a separação dos dois,nos últimos episódios foi necessária,pois os dois tinham que por as suas vidas no lugar certo,para que pudessem se tornar melhores, equilibrados emocionante,pois passaram a vida toda em conflitos com o tipo de vida que tinham.Assim poderiam ser felizes.E quando eles se encontram no último episódio,deixam bem claro,que estão no caminho certo,estão se sentindo felizes,tranquilos,prontos para uma vida feliz,equilibrada.E acho que ele demonstra que ele sempre,nunca deixou de pensar nela,de se preocupar com ela,pois disse a ela que sabia que ela tava bem,que o Presidente da empresa lhe dava notícias de que ela estava bem,que a empresa em que ela trabalha estava muito contente com ela.Eles realmente tinham um sentimento único,de amor incondicional,que realmente queriam a felicidade dos dois.Achei lindo o final,eu entendi que foi o encontro dos dois para começarem um relacionamento sem sofrimento,sem machucar ninguém,uma vida a dois tranquila.

Head slap scene is favourite.

This is one of the best kdramas i have watched. Second season please...

I loved the series. Watched it several times. Its beautiful.

🤔 how come your eyes never red after cried many time.... haha

One day I'd get over this drama, but today is not the day. 🖤🤍

I finally dove into this drama after a long time putting it off. I got encouraged and I mustered enough guts after watching your top drama list. I do love IU as an artist and she gave me hate and love emotions as she portrays her character. Lee Sung Kyun was awesome in his character. In the end, kindness should always prevail in our daily lives. Last 2 eps were a tearjerker for me. Thank you Lydia for hooking me with My Mister. Now randomly repeating its OST. Currently following it up with Misaeng. ❤️💪🏻
