Several months after My Mister came out in 2018, it showed up on one of my Asian drama streaming apps. I should've watched it then, but I didn't. When it recently showed up on Netflix, I watched it right away. The timing was perfect. I absolutely devoured it, binge watched the entire thing. Easy to understand why it won best drama 2018. Moving, touching, sentimental, maddening at times, and always tugging at my heart. Very well done. The ending is also beautifully done. Intentionally enigmatic and rightfully so. It's the kind of ending the viewer brings their own emotions into account..., imagining the next step to be whatever suits your sensibilities. To answer some inquiries about 'do they love each other?'..., of course they do. Love is not limited to social constructs of dating, sex, or even marriage. They absolutely love each other, but without feeling compelled to make it anything else. Deeply caring for another person, wanting their happiness, wanting what's best for them, is love. And so well played in an amazing drama. I'm not given to cry much, or even tear up..., but I did both..., and often with My Mister. Great job, Director Kim Won-seok. Great job, IU, Lee Sun Gyun, and the entire, fantastic cast. Khamsa Hamnida.
