Okay so I've mixed feelings about this one. I'm going to be totally honest even though I really want to just tell you how extraordinary it is. It's realistic, let's begin with that. It's not a romance, though. Then what is it? I'd say it's life. That simple.

''My Mister'' would probably be tagged as slow-paced, but I think it's more than that. Even if it's true that its pace isn't the fastest, things happen when they're bound to happen. They are not forced and that's really appreciated.
When I first started watching this drama I have to say I didn't like it that much. I thought, ''what's so extraordinary about watching some people just living?'' and I just dropped it. Months later I just couldn't stop thinking about restarting it; those people lifes had stuck with me for a long time telling me to keep watching, to see what happens next, and I did. Best decision in my life.

This drama is harsh. It portraits reality in such a beautiful but heart-breaking way it may blow your mind. I cried when it ended because every character was a part of me by then. How would I fill that empty space now? I simply didn't. Not a single drama has made me feel this way about their characters since I've finished it, and I have to say I've watched quite many. The atmosphere, the cinematography which isn't that marvelous but definitely felt like it was, the acting, the OST, the personal scenes of every character... everything together makes this drama what it is: a masterpiece. I'd never been so happy to watch something 'till the end and I've never missed a show this much ever.

Every character has its importance. All three brothers have really different lifes but they compliment each other so well. They are the best definition of brothers I have ever seen: together 'till the end even if they're all facing different struggles, fixing one another silently while drinking at Jung Hee's bar after work. Their acting is extremely good, too. You can see their pain even in their brightest moments. Differently from other dramas you don't need a sad background song to feel the pain; their eyes alone are enough. About IU's acting, some may differ, but she owned the role from the 1st second. Unlike what it may seem, portraying Ji An's character, a cold yet warm character who is constanly hurting and enduring, is a really hard work. Ji An is silent so IU has to show her feelings without words, only with body language and her eyes, and you can feel it. Ahjussi will always be Lee Sun Kyun. He owned this role, too. I just can't visualize anyone else.

I have to go back to the thing I enjoyed the most and which I can't speak enough of: its realness. ''My Ahjussi'' teached me a lot. While I was watching I wasn't feeling my best, and unlike what many people say, a happy and funny drama just wasn't what I was needing. I needed THIS and I'm so glad I found it. In the end, this drama teached me that no matter how hard life is, there's always hope; that you have to endure (Ahjussi) and hold on to what you have (Ji An's grandma); that happiness isn't something permanent (Sang Hoon) and that no matter how happy some people lifes may seem, you can't simply judge by what you see (Ki Hoon with Yoo Ra).

I'd just like to say this drama will stick to you forever. No matter how many dramas you watch, you'll never forget ''My Ahjussi'' and its characters. I could continue writing about without end but I guess you should go and start watching it now. I may go and re-watch it, too :)
