Meu Ahjussi (2018)

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.

FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO FEEL LOVED, WATCH THIS SHOW

this is something I should've done long time ago, after rewatching it again I got the feeling that I have to share my feelings for this show, I wont say my life was hard, but at the time I watched this show, I was in a situation no one should be in, and could relate to this show a lot, therefore whenever I rewatch it hits hard on how did I manage all what I've been through, back when you first watched this show, it gave me the warmest hug ever, and after all this time when i rewatched it again it still gave me a hug that is not less warm to what I've got on the first time, this show is "PURE GOLD"

Why you should or shouldn't watch this drama

Before I begin my review I would like to say that all that I write here is my own opinion and what I felt like when I watched this drama. I love watching dramas and especially reviewing them in my own way. Whatever I write is what I may have felt when I watched this drama. Please don't get offended in any way if your views don't match mine.

I have watched a fair share of drama mostly romance and also have explored other genres as it is good to expand your view range. This drama is totally different from any other drama I have watched so far, even though I have watched many. The lead actors Lee Sun Kyun, IU, Park Ho San, Song Sae Byuk and other supporting actors did a very good job at portraying their characters which makes this drama worth watching. You may wonder why I am writing this review after almost 4 years of its release that's actually I have skipped this drama when it was airing in 2018 because of its heavy topic. But oh! boy oh! boy, if you don't watch this drama you really are missing out.

You probably may have seen IU in Hotel Del Luna, Moon Lovers etc. which received a lot of love from her fans and others. In this drama, she has really played a very difficult character that looks easy on the surface but is definitely not. Her character is full of emotions like depression caused due to various reasons, which you will get to know if you watch this drama there are many other emotions and expressions that Lee Ji Ahn (character that IU is playing) portrays throughout this drama. She is selfish and self-centred a type of person usually people hate, but the way she is because of certain factors that the drama covers. Ji Ahn is unpredictable, in one scene you will feel like she is a good person in the very next scene you may hate her. She really showed commendable acting skills in this drama as Lee Ji Ahn.

Like I said in the beginning this drama is nothing like what you may have watched previously, this drama has a lot of heavy topics that it covers, the title doesn't reflect it that well though. though the title is quite three dimensional if you analyse it after you complete watching this drama. I personally am a binge-watcher but when it came to this drama I surely couldn't binge-watch this, I will definitely not recommend anyone to binge-watch this drama as you need time to analyse each and every single episode, there are very minute details that you need to follow to get along with how the plot will unveil itself. WARNING: You may feel depressed after watching this drama though.

The first few episodes are quite slow which can make one feel like giving up, but I can tell you one thing that is please don't give up the drama yet wait and see how beautifully the narrative arc is. You may think it is boring at first but the moment you reach the part of rising action you will not be able to leave it that is my guarantee to you as someone who has watched this drama. You need to carefully and minutely follow the story it is almost like a treasure hunt, this drama is more like a novel than a film I suppose in that case. This is a different yet well-written plot. Park Hae Young, the screenwriter did an amazing job. She was able to somehow thread the loose bits together very well. A quality of a great writer is someone who is not only a good storyteller but a good weaver as well.
(You need to figure out the rest by watching this drama)

Thank you for reading, I hope that you enjoy this drama.

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.

Um Drama Singular

My Mister é um drama bastante singular, afinal não é sempre que você assiste um drama onde os personagens não são pessoas extremamente bem sucedidas com uma vida maravilhosa, perfeita e feliz, não é mesmo? Bem, talvez este seja um dos principais motivos de sua alta classificação.

A história profundamente melancólica um tanto depressiva deste drama não é fácil de assistir, principalmente se você estiver tendo um dia ruim ou aquela semana difícil. Não se trata de um drama animador repleto de personagens vibrantes, esta não é a intenção aqui.

Na trama você acompanhará o encontro de duas pessoas muito parecidas, carregadas de tristeza e infelicidades. A relação que se estabelece entre os protagonistas é interessante de acompanhar, nada previsível, mas muito interessante. Não há alívio cômico em nenhum momento, nem nos personagens secundários.

No decorrer dos longos e pesados 16 episódios de mais de uma hora é possível vislumbrar o retrato desolador de pessoas que assim como na realidade, apenas estão sobrevivendo a mais um dia.

Repleto de boas atuações, o drama consegue entregar longas cenas sem diálogo algum mas recheadas de significado que as palavras não conseguiriam expressar. Se eu já achava a IU uma ótima atriz agora acho muito mais, quanto ao Lee Sun Kyun, não o acho um ator expressivo mas este papel lhe caiu como uma luva. A fotografia é pesada e fechada mas é o que a trama precisava, a OST também acompanhou muito bem as cenas.

Se estiver procurando por um drama fora do comum este pode ser o drama que procura.

Slice of life at it's best

This title has been on my list to watch on Netflix since last year. It was only last week that I got to start it.

Have you ever watched a drama wherein the summarized plot basically told you nothing about the story and you go in totally unprepared for it? Well, this is one such drama.

EP 1 didn't give me a hint on what this drama would be about although it did pique my interest. Sometimes you just want a drama about life and My Mister doesn't disappoint.

I loved the relationship of the 3 siblings. Middle-aged they may be, but they can still act like boys when they argue. They may not be rich and down on their luck (the 2 brothers at least); but they proved that you are never too old to learn something new. I myself had a 9 to 5 career before and now I am helping manage a business that is totally different from what I was used to.

I also like their mom. Moms will always be moms no matter what the age of their child. They are already nearing their 50's and yet, she still wakes up early to prepare their lunch boxes.

As to IU's performance, I was initially bored with her expression. But as the story progressed, you can understand the choices she made.

The drama itself is full of colorful characters and the story is refreshingly different from the rom-coms, adultery, chaebols, revenge stories I have been watching. Definitely recommending this if you want a realistic story about life.

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.

I could not like the main couple

Like the OST, cinematography, Dong Hoon actor acting, supporting cast.
Dislike: Ji An acting... Like there is only one expression on her face the whole time.

I tried very hard to like the Dong Hoon and Ji An but just simply couldn't sympathize, especially Dong Hoon.

Dong Hoon married his wife, had a kid, was content with having his wife be the breadwinner yet be depress the whole f**king time because someone he hated got the big gig. What did he do to get out of that??? None, until someone threatened him. What does that say about him as a person?
He spent every evening after work hanging out with his buddies, his brothers, or his mom. What about his wife? His excuse was that she wasn't home. Well, apparently, they had mismatched schedule. What did he do about that? None... until his wife gave up and seek emotional solace somewhere else; then he felt bad. Should have seen that coming.
His mother resented his wife because she was more successful than him, even though her salary gave her the financial support she and her boys needed. His wife knew this but still tried. His wife tried to establish their family away from the extended family but he wouldn't hear of it.
So, is it his wife's fault only that they have problem? Where is the acknowledgement that it takes 2 to make or break a couple? I wish she divorced him and found some measure of happiness.

Ji An was the annoying female tsundere the whole time. Her poor background permitted her to do whatever she can to solve her and her people problem, regardless of the impact on others?

Like I said, I tried to like them but nahhh...

Kang Yoon Hee's character

Kang Yoon Hee is a actual bitch & whore. All she knows to how to get fucked up/sex (have an affair) with Do Joon Young. And when Kang Yoon Hee found out that Park Dong Hoon knows about her affair & Do Joon Young will not going to marry her, she acted liked a complete fucked up bitch/whore. She felt guilty that Do Joon Young will not going to marry her. She didn't felt any guilt towards her husband (Park Dong Hoon) and her son. She is a real life slut and a bitch.

Park Dong Hoon seems like a genuine guy who needs lots of love & for him, family comes first. But this bitch went all the way around to get fucked up with his junior. And she also wanted to get Park Dong Hoon fired from that company.

Seriously, she is a actual whore. Fuck her.

Al principio no quería verlo, me parecía melodrama tedioso y menos con IU; pero una amiga me insistió tanto que la empecé.
Debo decir que es una historia adictiva, pero extremadamente pesada, te absorbe toda la energía, fui incapaz de hacer maratón, a lo máximo veía dos capítulos al día, mi cerebro no daba para más.
Cuando avanzas te das cuenta que no es una historia, son varias historias, contadas desde ángulos diferentes, pero que buscan un solo objetivo: mostrarte que todo tiene solución y que lo que crees ha sido lo mejor, estás fuera de la realidad. Muchas veces te has quedado en la zona de confort y no avanzas, te sientes cómodo y no luchas por salir del hoyo en que has caído, hasta en muchas ocasiones no te das cuenta de la gente maravillosa que puedes conocer o que tienes a tu lado.
El personaje de IU es magnifico, solo vino a sonreír al final del drama, pero me enseño mucho; Ji Ah me enseño que ante las adversidades no hay nada mejor que enfrentarlas sin importar los resultados, en defender lo que quiero y que no deje de soñar.
Los demás personajes, enseñan que nunca es tarde para vivir el sueño, para arriesgarse y salir de ese confort, y que el pasado con sus buenos y malos ratos, siempre dejará lecciones que valoraremos más adelante.
En resumen, este es un drama que aunque no sea apto para todos, si necesitamos verlo, porque no tiene nada de fantasía, son historias reales representadas por excelentes actores, incluida IU.
