YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS!
i cant exaggerate any more how amazing this drama is. from the story, to cast, to production, this drama is impeccably good. as a film student this is the kind of drama that sets standards for the rest. the filmography is beautiful and awards it indeed deserves.there was never a moment that i was bored or un-interested. the strong build of character makes the smallest of scenes so much more interesting without adding too much to them.
the choice of actors couldn't have been any better, i fell in love with all of them. you do not understand how much i cried at the end of this series (no-spoilers tho), i was left heartbroken as well as heart warmed.
the filmography man... for a film student its like a dream come true.
i dont want to give too much away because its best to jump right into it and find out for yourself.
just please watch this show! i promise you wont regret it!

Indeed a Masterpiece.
This was a complex and sophisticated story but it was not hard to understand, I really enjoyed watching this and I'm glad it was not a waste of time. Every episode felt like a movie thus this is not a bingeable show. Mr Sunshine is not for everyone, it's really mature, detailed, slow paced and long. To my surprise I never got bored watching this I was so invested in it. The best thing I like about this drama is the character development as well as the characters. Every character was unique and developed in some way and it was interesting watching their relationships blossom. As for the two leads considering their age gap, they had amazing chemistry. You would feel every emotion while watching this. I cannot necessarily rewatch the whole thing, this is one of those dramas that I love but I can't bear to rewatch. Do I think it needed 24 episodes? no but each episode led up to something thus it was worth the watch.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Very good k-drama
I loved it although the ending was sad, I rarely cry and this k-drama almost made me cry so gonna clap to that. I would not recommend to watch this as your first k-drama because it will set your standards too high. I don't understand why this kdrama has 8.9/10 Because personally for me as a fan of romantic war I loved this. Although some scenes (usually the crying ones) looked a bit unnatural but other than that, the plot was amazing. I really loved the characters except the age gap kind of bothered me.. I honestly can't look at other k-dramas the same way because this one was just amazing and I didn't not know a k-drama could be this dramatic. I would most definitely rewatch this because after i finished watching the k-drama i just felt so empty. This k-drama really got me waiting for new episodes.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
If you ask me what I consider amazing in this drama for you to watch it, I'd say everything is amazing. Have you ever wondered what a drama would look like without flaws? Mr. Sunshine is a flawless drama; from its cast, its storyline, how everything was directed, and everything in between.
I know that a lot of people tend to avoid historical genre dramas, but hear me out. While I believe that a lot of other historical dramas are good and have their own charm, Mr. Sunshine is in another class of its own. It wouldn't be boring as you might expect it to be, because this drama was set during the time Japan was conquering Korea and right before World War 1 (1914), so industrialization was already taking place; guns, trains, electricity, and whatnot were already being used. While certain elements of the story were fictitious, a lot of the story was still based on the true history of Korea; so you could learn a lot about their history and culture. Dramas like this tend to be slow, while Mr. Sunshine isn't necessarily a fast-paced drama, it isn't really a slow one either despite having 24 episodes. When you're watching, you won't feel the drama being draggy, and after watching all episodes you'll realize that not one episode passed by without having something meaningful happen.
Now let's talk about some of the notable things that made this drama so perfect:
1) The cast: The cast was perfectly handpicked. Every single one of them played their role perfectly. You could actually feel their emotions being displayed in full throttle as if they were actually living in this drama itself. I believe that all the cast in Mr. Sunshine deserves an award for their acting, and some of them did. Lee Byung Hun won the best actor award, and Yoo Yeon Seok won the best supporting actor award respectively, beating out other amazing actors from other amazing dramas that also have one of the highest ratings in My Mister, Mother, and Prison Playbook. Unfortunately, Kim Tae Ri didn't win the best new actress award, but she still deserves the praise and nomination nonetheless.
2) The plot: The story was so rich! The writers did an amazing job crafting such an amazing story, and I can't stress this enough. What's more amazing is how they managed to direct such an amazing story to make it even better. The whole drama was so smooth and I didn't feel like there was part of the drama that should've been removed. The cinematography was great and the production of the film itself deserves an Oscar. You don't really have to worry about non-essential episodes wasting your time because Mr. Sunshine did not have any filler episodes; every single episode was meaningful and contributed to the build-up of the whole storyline.
3) The music: Well, not much can be said about this but I just wanted to put it out there. The OSTs of Mr. Sunshine perfectly fit the theme, and highlights/magnifies the emotion felt of every scene perfectly.
Overall, as I said, Mr. Sunshine is the best. I've never been this attached to a drama ever, and I think I'll be forever scarred by it as well. Prepare yourself fully before watching this, as you'll have your emotional sensitivity automatically set-up on high during most of the drama. In certain scenes, I was trying to hold my heart in my chest as it literally felt like my heart would explode from all the crying. I kid you not, prepare yourself for one emotionally unstable roller coaster. Please do consider watching this masterpiece of a drama, I'm sure you won't regret it.

The characters & acting were marvelous, Lee Byung Hun is great in any role he does & he did his role perfectly & it’s suited him perfectly.. but Gu Dong Mae won my heart fair & square.. his acting, his role & his background story were all great that touched my heart.. it’s my first time seeing Yoo Yeon Seok & he actually win a spot in me with his great acting.
My only problem were Go Ae Sin character.. I don’t know exactly what it was but I found her character the least interesting in all.. Kim Tae Ri is a great actress & she did her best in this role but I feel that her age wasn’t suitable for this role especially with her baby face which made her look more younger.. I believe that Ha Ji Won would suit this role more action wise & age wise.. she is one of the top actresses who aces action roles most.
I believe that this drama can go shorter as I skipped many scenes which didn’t affect the story.. also I found the middle part were lengthy & a bit boring because of the fillings.
In the end I didn’t regret watching it.. the ending was full of tears with me but I knew it would end like this.. a memorable show indeed..

É importante destacar que esse é um dorama histórico, que começa no final do século XIX e se estende até o início do século XX. E mostra a História que o Ocidente não conhece e que provavelmente nunca vai ser estudada nas escolas daqui. O dorama retrata muito bem esse momento histórico que foi tão conturbado, abordando a relação da Coreia com outros países, principalmente Japão e EUA.
Já sobre o drama em si, ele é muito envolvente, prende a nossa atenção desde o início. E apesar de ter muitos episódios o enredo é muito bem trabalhado e em nenhum momento a história se torna chata, conseguiram sustentar muito bem a qualidade dos episódios do início ao fim. Além disso, tem muitas reviravoltas e a gente nunca sabe o que vai acontecer naquele episódio nem nos próximos.
Quanto ao gênero do dorama, não tem como a gente definir qual é, tem de tudo: ação, romance, drama e comédia, e tudo na medida certa. E, ao contrários dos outros dramas, esse tem muitos personagens e o enredo não se prende aos protas, trabalhando muito bem a história de todos os personagens, que são ótimas e não dependem da história dos protas, além de os personagens serem complexos, não tem como a gente determinar de cara quem é o bonzinho e o vilão. E o elenco é muito bom, as atuações são ótimas, inclusive tem uns personagens que você toma ranço de tão bem interpretados.
Já em relação aos protas, o casal é excelente. Eles tem muita química e a relação deles é bem natural, vai florescendo aos poucos. E eles são muito fofos juntos, apesar de ser um casal mais velho e eles passarem por tanta coisa.
Por último, eu gostei muito dos papeis que as mulheres têm e como elas são mostradas nesse dorama, todas são fortes e inspiradoras, são mulheres que correm atrás do que querem e fazem o que consideram certo.
Enfim, super recomendo esse dorama a todo mundo, certeza que você não vai se arrepender!

...along with the rest of the characters (R.I.P). I came for nuest's "and I", stayed for the show.
The actors were amazing and went above and beyond expectations. Later on I found out the main actors are pretty good well known actors (western action film star and the handmaiden cough cough) also the supporting actors are amazing as well. I didn't know that about them but luckily kpop exists and it's what brought me to check this show out in the first place.
So the music was a A+ for me. There's definitely a few that make me want to cry along with the scenes.
At first I really loved AeShin and Eugenes romance, but Dong Mae was such a good runner up (lol). It kind of breaks your heart that he lived the way he did. I also fell in love with Hina! Kim Min Jung needs more roles like these.
I read about how the accuracy of the history might be off, but who cares? It's a good fiction story anyways, even if they got a few details wrong lol.
I didn't give it a perfect 10 because a few things made me go, "but wait, couldn't they have just done this?" or "that doesn't make sense!" etc. For example, the train... also, dong mae- why u HAVE to fight the musin society? and the hotel- couldn't they have just- anyways. You get what i mean.

This drama destroyed me.
Why was it so perfectly made? The cinematic shots left me in awe. Who can fault the actors in here? No one. Don't even get me started on the OST... gosh I'm still listening to it.
The storyline and the dialogues were incredibly clever.
Yoo Yeon Seok as Gu Dong Mae, life ruiner. Oh how I love him sooooo much!

Obra prima e depressiva!
"Adeus, Mr sunshine. Até breve no nosso país independente."Desde o começo Mr sunshine em surpreendeu, a história é tão linda, tão rica em informações, sentimentos, cenário, personagens. É tão deslumbrante assistir toda essa luta, a luta do povo de Joseon, eles deram a vida até o fim e não temeram nada. Eu fiquei emocionada até o fim de ter conhecido essa história. Tive a oportunidade de ver atores que já conheço atuando em personagens nunca vistos por mim e dando um show. As amizades (ou alianças) que surgiram foram tão bem construídas, a trajetória deles foi tão incrível.
O amor dos personagens, pelo país, pelo amor deles. A vida valeu a pena pra eles até o fim!
Eu tinha tanto pra falar mas agora tô sem palavras pra explicar a grandeza que esse drama foi. Meu segundo drama histórico e não me arrependo de ter assistido ele agora, a luta deles me inspira a escolher diligentemente na minha primeira eleição.
Parabenizar todo o grupo que participou desse trabalho incrível, cada pessoa contribuiu pra essa história ganhar vida. Tae ri já tinha toda a minha admiração, que ATRIZ espetacular. Os parceiros dela em cena Byung hun, Yeon seok (te amo), a min Jung e o yo han, viraram meu quinteto fantástico, esses cinco transformaram tudo. Quando as duas estavam juntas eu via o poder das mulheres e quando os três se encontravam quase como imã que juntava eles foi a amizade nascendo de uma árvore. Eu senti toda a melancolia, raiva, dor, tristeza, amor e os pequenos momentos de felicidade que perduraram nesses 24 episódios. Todos eles mereciam a felicidade mas a história que eles estavam escrevendo era sobre algo muito maior. Mr sunshine foi sem palavras para descrever mas não foi algo pequeno.
Ressaltar também duas coisas: As transições das cenas eram perfeitas e que um drama do diretor e escritora de dots e goblin não poderia dar ruim certo? e certeza que as cenas que eu vi teve referências de goblin.

A Slow but absolutely worth all the time put into it (May need to fast forward at times)
*Some mild spoilers*Mr. Sunshine is seriously one of my favorite kdramas of all time. Honestly it's astounding that the scriptwriter for this kdrama is the same as the one from Heirs. This is undoubtedly her best work and it will be difficult to top this. It's bizarre that not that many international fans talked about this drama compared to the Heirs etc.
The story and the characters was absolutely beautiful. I think all the main characters were nuanced and tragic in the same way.
The con of the story is honestly how slow it could be. There were times I would simply fast forward through Lee Byung Hyun and Kim Tae Ri's scenes, simply because they would be staring at one another for so damn long. Additionally, their age difference was so unnerving to me, especially because Kim Tae Ri looks much younger than her age and Lee Byung Hyun looks obviously 40.
But I understand why they casted him. His character was difficult to portray and to some I would understand why they would call him boring, but to be able to make me actually like and understand this kind of stoic character (not really he also has a lot of comedic moments without Ae Shin).
The side characters Gu Dong Mae and Lee Yang Hwa (Kudo Hina) CARRY THE HELL OUT OF THIS DRAMA. Because the main characters are the respectable and noble heros, these two are the anti-heros and much more grey but oh my god their acting and their story DESTROYED ME.
Mr. Sunshine is an experience and I'm so glad I watched it. Truly beautiful and the metaphors behind the characters elevate it way past a simple historical romance kdrama.
The OST is great. I finished the drama months ago, but I still listen to the ballads to this day and I hate ballads normally.

For those who have not seen this series and have a question for them
For those who have not seen this series and have a question for them, it is really worth their timeFirst of all, I have to say that this series is about the era of Japanese colonization of Korea, and naturally, it has a very political theme, so if you are one of those people who do not have patience while watching the series, you will not like it.
But if you are someone who really cares about the quality and value of a series, start watching it now
This series may be slow until episode 5 or so, but after that, you will connect with each character as if they were members of your family (even the minor characters). The final episodes, unlike the first episodes, are full of sadness and pain and tears Beautiful and valuable
This is a story of lovers, but a romance where you learn another concept of love. A concept that I have never seen in any movie before
