Anyone else thinks My Ajusshi is overrated?

NOPE. Definitely not overrated in MDL and even in local TV ratings. 

In truth as a cable tv rated show, it should probably be at least 10% everage. And MDL should be 10. Though realistically speaking i guess 9.3 is okay. But this drama will definitely  go down as one of the best dramas of all time.

Underrated since it was competing with Something in the Rain, everyone (in Korea) had news about that drama all the time, and  MM deserved much much much better TV ratings than it should've had. Also idk if this is true, but I heard that SITR won the best drama in 2018?? Someone please tell me it's false.... not trying to compare the two cus they are different dramas but I really think MM deserves all the success they should get. 

Is this even possible when we are only in early August?  I agree with you 100% that MA deserves to net loads of awards, but sadly I have to lower my expectations.  The age-gap controversies surrounding this drama are not going away any time soon and I am afraid it will badly affect their chances at winning awards/nominations.  And SITR, as problematic as it was in the second half, seems to be very very well loved in South Korea.

yes its underrated 9.3 is very low for this drama

I think rating a project all has to do with what you're in the mood for when watching and what you're expectations are with the item that you are watching. When I started My Mister, I actually had really low expectations. I wasn't particularly a fan of IU's acting or even Lee Sun Gyun and I definitely didn't want to see a romance between them since IU looks so young for her age. So I was pleasantly surprised by My Mister - the interesting characters,  relationship developments, the underlying themes about life, and nuances between characters that carried deeper meanings resonated with me. I don't think the series is for everyone and I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is looking for something romantic, light, and fun.  Apparently, a lot of people in Korea dislike the drama for being controversial.

Wow,these are some different interpretations,esp the Joseon one !

I still don't get the fact that they have found their way to each other .It just seemed that they were saying goodbye..Anyways,thanks for bringing this to my notice and also the fact as to why they need to be subtle about this.

I feel exactly the same. It didn't feel to me like "oh my gosh, we've found each other, let's be together", but like "wow, you have finally found your own comfort. I'm so happy for you."

Well, it is just so obvious to me! On an emotional level they helped each other, also mentally and a bit even spiritually. But these connections does not necessarily lead to decisions, like obviously the husband wouldn't want to leave his wife and child, he'd try to seek for forgiveness within himself and save the relationship. (not to mention the very traditional conventions of Far East where divorce is still something that they despise and condemn very much).  And he never ever said that he likes her back, even Ji An felt that a bit of liking him would confuse things, this is why she asked him to hit her 'to be in the right mind'. So they gave each other positive things, kindness and love, they just never became a couple, they didn't want to destroy anybody and anything (ok, except the evil CEO and the loan shark out of self-defense), it was just healing what they gave to each other. Very wise, very smart, very intelligent. Not to mention, right in morals. Something we should even teach.

Yes, just like a lot of things are on mydramalist.
