Meaning of Love
This is my favourite K-drama so far , and I credit K-drama for surviving this COVID year.First of: script is many layered and deep. Not just exposing the emptiness of the lives of the lucky rich, but the influence the lack of true love and affection has on the character. It is also sooo refreshing to see the inclusion of lesbian love, so wonderfully and tastefully acted by Kim Jung-hwa and Kim Seo-hyung. The whole cast has been perfectly selected to fit their roles.
Very interesting final episodes going back and forth in time, leaving the surprising conclusion till the last episode.
Three thumbs up!

Well written thriller, without any filler episodes!
Kim Seo Hyung the female lead who also was the lead in the drama Sky Castle is such a talented actress. She resembles the female lead actress from The World of Married. I usually don't pay attention to fashion in dramas but they had Jeong Seo Hyun (played by the actress Kim Seo Hyung) dressed to perfection lol.This drama is worth your time and it's currently on Netflix. I actually prefer Korean thrillers & historical/period dramas that are like this drama, as opposed to Korean romcoms. This drama was well written, well produced, and well acted. I also think the way that the story was told is beautiful (very short clips of the future in every episode, gradually giving us more clues to the conclusion). Additionally, the pacing was great and there weren't any filler episode, thank goodness! I am glad that the other female lead character Seo Hee Soo, did not take 16 episodes to decide to leave her husband. Unfortunately, we see this often in dramaland. She got out of a very toxic relationship asap, and good for her! No one needs to be cheated on, mentally abused, threatened with murder, and only loved because they are carrying the baby of the other person.
The con that I have is that this drama was too short. Usually, I advocate for fewer episodes, but I think if this drama had 3 more episodes, we could have seen the development of Han Soo Hyuk [Seo Hyun’s stepson] story, and also Han Ji Yong [Hee Soo's husband] childhood, which would have helped us understand how he became what he was. The last con that I have is the lesbian storyline in this drama, I prefer heterosexual romance.
The desire for power, wealth, and fame turn most people into undercover monsters once they get it.

Consumed with self importance
You can tell that ‘Mine’ wants the respect of an ‘edge-of-your-seat dramatic-thriller’. Look at the self-importance it affords itself with its pretentious musical score. Unfortunately, little of the show is compelling or binge-worthy. In the end, the plot is a recycled story that cries out ‘déjà vu’. On top of everything, the characters are stiff and one-dimensional and the museum set is just not believable as a house of a rich snd famous family. ‘Mine’ wants to fill a room but barely speaks by.Was this review helpful to you?
MINE is my favorite Kdrama of 2021. PERIOD
I love the opening theme of this drama, also the entire soundtrack. It sounds so good! also coming to the theme of this drama, "MINE", it screams everything is been mine vibes. The best part of this drama is the portrayal of LGBTQ+. That's an important highlight for me. It's very much needed, especially in South Korea and many parts of the world, where loving someone of the same gender is a crime or looked down on. Kim Seo Hyung is an ICON for her lesbian character role.MINE is my favorite Kdrama of 2021. PERIOD

If you’re a Penthouse, Sky Castle and TWOTM lover...
There’s only been 2 episodes out and I’m already on my toes bruh. Everything about this drama is flawless so far, I’m genuinely amazed with the casting, cinematography, settings and soundtrack, I could go on for hours of the elements of this series.I’m definitely impressed with how each character gets explored bit by bit, but I love Hisoo’s character the most out of the others so far. She’s somewhat the most balanced one in the entire household and never fails to insert her witty lines to lighten up the atmosphere and have the last words. If you’ve watched both episodes I think we can all agree how her husband and that d*mb betch will turn out to betray Hisoo and I’m already furious about that inevitable foreshadow.
We’re still unable to connect the dots as to which two characters (obviously the women) were in that bloody scene in the teaser but I’m praying Hisoo is not one of them, otherwise the directors are bizarre to do that to such a good character BUT judging as a penthouse lover we know the loveable characters always receive the worst unfortunately.
I sound like a Hisoo stan and I most definitely am so far lol, I’m preaching for her. This drama is definitely a mix of Penthouse, Sky Castle and The World of the Married (honourable mention, “V.I.P” too) so if you’re a big fan of those type of dramas that leave you wanting for more you should definitely give Mine a chance, I know this ones going to be INSANE... I reckon the ratings will definitely be up there with Penthouse eventually. Can’t wait for the entire series to unveil.

Se suponía que iba a ser revolucionario y van, y meten a una estúpida pareja cuya presencia es prescindible. Si no la hubieran metido, les hubiera dado un 9.
Las actuaciones de las dos protagonistas fueron increíbles, se comieron el drama .
Todo lo demás, la historia, los personajes, tanto principales como secundarios, están bien.

O que é realmente seu?
Mine é aquele tipo de série que capta a sua atenção não pelo enredo original, mas pela forma como ele é apresentado. A típica história da família rica com rivalidade interna e um assassinato misterioso são a fundação da trama, encabeçada por 3 mulheres poderosas. A série vai desvendando aos poucos a história de cada personagem e em paralelo a do assassinato, durante esse processo os personagens vão amadurecendo e, particularmente, gosto quando se nota uma evolução nos personagens durante a série. No entanto, como não é um enredo tão original, algumas coisas ficam previsíveis, mas mesmo assim vale a pena assistir.Prós: a atuação das personagens principais está muito boa! Além disso, são retratadas mulheres fortes, cada uma lutando por aquilo que acredita ser seu. Outro ponto que merece ser mencionado é o figurino, acho que depois de Hotel Del Luna e It's Okay no to be Okay, essa é uma das séries com melhor figurino que eu já vi.
Contras: a trilha sonora não me marcou muito, acho que poderiam ter explorado mais. O casalzinho cinderela achei superficial e parece mais uma participação especial, alguns dos personagens secundários são irritantes e a comédia é um pouco forçada.
No geral vale a pena assistir porque a série foi bem construída e prende a atenção, além de retratar personagens femininas fortes e questionar diferentes formas de amor.
