My Mister Episode 12

8.0/10 - Some of the most complex and dynamic characters I have ever seen in a drama.

Can I just say I park my car next to nice cars because, usually, they're not gonna bang you or hit you. Those drivers care. The whole abuse of that van is just too funny. The van is a character unto itself and it's such an odd comedic point. At least it didn't get tipped over this time, but it was almost just as funny.

Wow. So Ji An is still on that she likes Park Dong Hoon. I do believe it, but is she still thinking of betraying him? She's having those photos pulled of him helping her. Though I think I'm missing something culturally cause that is in no way damning or blackmail type stuff to me!

I thought it was super interesting how all of Park Dong Hoon's friends helped him walk Ji An to her door. I really wonder what they were thinking. Also, this made me think of how accepting they seem of Ji An. Which then made me think that perhaps all Kang Yoon Hee needed to do was to just show up with Park Dong Hoon to become part of the community that he loves. Her whole reason for their failed marriage is that he spent too much time with his "family" not seeing her as family. Though Park Dong Hoon's mother did set her apart. Perhaps that's because Yoon Hee kept herself apart? A failed marriage doesn't just happen on it's own, but the affair can never be blamed on the other person in the marriage no matter how justified.

I'm also annoyed how quickly Gi Hoon turned on Yoo Ra. He has a point there are just as harsh directors as him out there. Yoo Ra has to learn how to deal with it. He can't take all the blame. Ah, the reveal. He knows he bullied her. That he was trying to use her to save face. At least he had the courage to tell Yoo Ra the truth and they just came together. I love the flow of their relationship. Gi Hoon saying they better not dump each other. Since she's the actress and he's the cleaner.

Yoon Hee is a very complex character. While I think she is blaming Joon Yeong a bit too much—takes two to make an affair—the woman is right. Joon Yeong would have never married her. Secondly he only went after her because of his jealousy of Dong Hoon.

Even Yoon Hee's reaction to Ji An saying she truly likes Dong Hoon. I know she probably doesn't want the last truth to come out that she knew about Ji An. But I also think she realizes that Dong Hoon might truly like and care for Ji An. Maybe just because he's good, but after 20 years she might know him better. Either way I love how complex these characters are.

Even Lee Gwang the Loan Shark showed some more complexity. He use to carry Ji An home after his father beat her. He's damaged just as much by his father as Ji An and her grandmother. He misses Ji An, but instead of trying to be a friend. He thinks he needs to beat her. He's not a good person, but his past has ruined him.

It was also nice seeing one of Dong Hoon's neighborhood friends keeping an eye on Ji An since he asked. I love Dong Hoon's family, friends, and the community. People need to help and love each other like that. It makes me sad how his wife couldn't see it and join in.

Overall this ending was sweet. Ji An did make it happen so that Dong Hoon would not be pulled in on the scandal she had been setting up. Which makes me happy. She handled it beautifully when called in for that interview. She used the truth. The ending was very nice. Though it's only a matter of time before Dong Hoon finds out the truth about Ji An. After all they can never have friendship or a true romance without it all coming out. I really would love it if they could have more. I'm curious where the writer is taking them.

As an after thought I need to touch base on Jung Hee. I hope after those texts she can move on. She's been waiting for him believing that he's been waiting for her. Jung Hee can hopefully move on.
