This 16-episode series will make you speechless, has no big hero, still trending on OTT, has IMDb rating of 9.0, series is...
Here we are talking about 'My Mister' (also known as My Ahjussi), which aired in 2018. It's the story of Park Dong-hoon, a middle-aged man stuck in a life full of quiet suffering, played with incredible restraint by Lee Sun-kyun. Then there's Lee Ji-an, a young woman with a heavy past, trying to survive financial hardship — played by the talented IU (Lee Ji-eun). Their worlds are miles apart in age and circumstance, yet fate brings them together. What unfolds is not romance, but a deeply touching bond built on empathy, understanding, and healing. Why is My Mister so famous that it has received IMDb rating of 9.0?
What sets My Mister apart from many others is its approach. There's no dramatic flair or over-the-top conflict. Instead, it's a slow burn — soft, introspective, and powerful. The storytelling is rich in emotion, the performances are beautifully understated, and the dialogue hits quietly but hard. Director Kim Won-seok and writer Park Hae-young created something rare — a drama that understands pain and lets its characters grow through it. What accolades have been received by My Mister?
My Mister was widely appreciated not just by fans but by critics too. It won the Best Drama award at the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards, and both Lee Sun-kyun and IU were praised for their heartfelt performances. The show has since built a strong fan following that continues to grow, thanks to its universal themes and timeless emotional pull. Where can you watch My Mister?
If you haven't seen it yet, My Mister is available to stream on Netflix and Prime Video in India. It's also accessible on TVING in South Korea and Viki Rakuten in other regions. It's not just another drama, it's a quiet masterpiece that stays with you long after it ends.
