Episodes 5 and 6 (the painting competitions) are as good as any K-drama episodes I've seen in the last couple of years. Unfortunately, nothing really happens for long stretches after that.
Overall, I would say, first 1/3rd pretty good (at some points great), last two episodes decent, but episodes 7 through 14 are kind of a vast wasteland. A shame, because there were flashes of brilliance that were never fully developed.
Tbh this is extremely manipulative, but it was also a really good entertainment
Whoa. You can't just drop that comment without explaining why you think that way. This drama was nominated for the Cannes Festival for Pete's sake, the only Korean drama ever nominated for that.
A true masterpiece with just one problem: The name "My Mister" can be offputting, especially if you do not watch…
I agree. "Mister" is rather slangy, and often used pejoratively in English. It's not a term describing an older man, as ajussi is in Korean. I've long thought that a better title in English would have been "My Gentleman".
