It seems your understanding is limited to only commercial masala films. What you're calling "over the top," the world calls "emotional depth." Perhaps your life has been so superficial that you don't understand the difference between real pain and silent struggle. Your "dead soul" theory is as hollow as your argument. If you didn't learn anything from this, the fault isn't with the drama, but with your narrow-mindedness. Not everyone can recognize a diamond; some only see a stone. My brain has stopped working ever since I started interacting with a great fool like you. I hope my brain doesn't rust. I'm leaving. You can continue with your foolishness if you want.
I've seen a lot of video clips of this drama on Instagram. Can someone tell me if it's already been released? If not, how did those video clips end up on Instagram, especially clips from the middle of the drama❓❓❓❓❓
Wow! Salute to your great artistic intellect. In a drama that critics and audiences worldwide considered an emotional masterpiece, you only saw flaws that "ruined the mood"? It seems you don't understand the meaning of "Slice of Life." In real life, people laugh even amidst sorrow, and that's what we call the "Human Spirit." Perhaps you're one of those people who don't understand emotions unless someone is sobbing hysterically on screen. You thought IU's acting was like a "zombie"? The truth is, the character's soul was dead, and portraying that was her greatest achievement. But perhaps your taste is limited to dramas with over-the-top acting. It's fine to praise the remake, but by criticizing the original, you're only showcasing your "incomplete understanding." Next time, before watching something profound, please clean both your glasses and your mind.👍
Life is not Monochromatic: Real life isn't just black or white. The beauty of 'My Mister' was that it showed the importance of human connection and a faint smile even in the deepest moments of sorrow. If you're just crying, you've given up. But if you can still laugh despite being broken, that's true resilience.
Laughter is a Survival Tool: You said that laughter lessens the pain—no! Laughter is a coping mechanism. When a person is drowning and still manages to crack a joke, it shows that they are bigger than their circumstances. The small, lighthearted moments in 'My Mister' were what kept Ji-an's character alive.
The Message of 'My Mister': You said it didn't have a "Never Give Up" message? Perhaps you didn't see the depth. The entire essence of 'My Mister' was this: "As long as you have even one person who understands you, you can live." Isn't that a hymn to life?
Execution vs. Melodrama: Remakes often over-explain emotions so that the audience doesn't have to put in any effort. 'My Mister' trusted the audience's intelligence. There was no need for screaming and shouting to convey despair; the silence in the eyes was enough. It's easy to call a work "anticlimactic," but it's difficult to understand the subtlety that shakes you to your core without making any noise. Judging a masterpiece after watching only four episodes is like dismissing an entire book based on its cover."
Life isn't just about sorrow and sadness. The beauty of 'My Mister' lies in its balance. If you only want to see crying and despair, you can find that in any average drama. The original series showed that even in a hellish life, people can make each other laugh, and that's true humanity. The remake, however, seems to have stripped away the soul and is simply selling depression.
My Mister was a masterpiece Korean drama. The late Lee Sun Kyun and IU delivered incredible performances. I still remember the last episode, especially the scene where Lee Sun Kyun is eating alone in the kitchen and starts crying. That scene was very emotional for me. Rest in peace Lee Sun Kyun🥲
Regarding his previous roles, he played many good positive characters after Glory, and his character Player 120 in Squid Game was a globally hit, but you only remember glory Why?
What the heck? Even the worst Chinese dramas are getting ratings of 8.6 these days, while this drama, despite being a masterpiece, is stuck at 8.2. It seems people have forgotten how to appreciate good things.🤔
