One of the best
My Dearest stands out for its ability to blend a great love story with a violent, cruel and deeply human historical context. The character ofJang-hyun is too charming, cultured, ironic. The evolution of the character Yoo Gil-chae, from a vain flirtatious woman, who I didn't like at all, is surprising.
The historical context is not a simple background, but an active protagonist.
The direction is elegant and refined, with photography that enhances the natural landscapes, traditional costumes and the emotion of key moments. The soundtrack, melancholic and sweet, perfectly accompanies the evolution of the relationship between Gil-chae and Jang-hyun, often separated but never really far away.
I would have avoided the second loss of memory, useless in my opinion, retracing the same dynamic that slows everything down.
I would watch it a hundred times and every time it tears my heart.

The best historical kdrama ever
The direction is masterful, the photography sumptuous, the costumes meticulously crafted, the sets spectacular. Every shot looks like a painting, and the direction is slow but incisive, capable of giving the right emotional weight to each scene. The soundtrack is intense and meaningful.The acting is of the highest level. Lee Byung-hun offers an intense performance, showing Eugene's inner conflict with extreme sensitivity. Kim Tae-ri, although young, holds her own with great dignity and strength. The performances of the supporting characters are also remarkable, especially the samurai and the hotel owner who enrich the narrative with their personal stories and complex motivations.
Despite the sometimes slow pace, Mr. Sunshine remains an ambitious and deeply touching work. It is a great television work that combines history, action, drama and romance in a compelling and emotionally devastating mix.
