My Mister is a quiet, heavy drama that takes its time to settle into your bones. In the beginning, it felt overwhelmingly sad. Every character was carrying something painful, and the slow pacing only deepened the sense of gloom. It hit close to home at times, enough that I initially watched it on 1.5x just to get through the weight of it.
But midway through, my perspective shifted. What stood out wasn’t just the suffering, but the resilience. Every character was dealing with hardship, yet they continued to live, work, and show up for the people around them. They found small moments of warmth, shared meals, quiet conversations, and simple acts of care. The drama slowly transforms from something depressing into something deeply human.
By the final episodes, I was emotionally invested. The ending was beautiful, understated, and quietly devastating. I cried, though I’m still not entirely sure why. Maybe it was for the characters, maybe for myself, or maybe for the realization that life can be both unbearably hard and gently kind at the same time.
The bond between Lee Ji-an and Park Dong-hoon is the heart of the drama. It isn’t romance, but something deeper and rarer. A connection built on understanding, empathy, and silent support. Both actors delivered phenomenal performances, bringing immense depth to their characters.
My Mister is heavy, but also comforting. Painful, yet hopeful. It’s a drama that stays with you, and one I know I’ll rewatch, this time slowly, fully present.
