tvN Drama My Ahjusshi Ends with High Ratings and Acclaim From Critics and Audiences Alike

A big round of deserving applause is due to the cast and crew of tvN Wed-Thurs drama My Ahjusshi (My Mister) which ended its 16-episode run with what I would call near universal thumbs up. The final episode 16 brought in a series high 7.352% ratings and the ending was one that everyone watching seemed to be happy with. With the PD of Signal, Misaeng, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Cinderella Unni paired with the screenwriter of Another Oh Hae Young, My Ahjusshi was all about the emotional highs and lows of surviving versus living and the wide spectrum in between. Lee Seon Kyun was always a beloved actor for his skills but IU is finally getting positive acting feedback that will hopefully put to rest naysayers about her decision to be an actress as well as a singer. I’m still only halfway through this amazing drama with so much richness and depth but for those who have finished hopefully it was a meal that satisfied the mind, heart, and soul as all good dramas should.

  • Well done to the My Ajusshi team!

    Despite all the negative talk about IU's Moon Lovers acting, I knew the PD of Misaeng was not playing when he cast her, he doesn't cast lead roles unless he knows they've got it in them. And IU had it. This drama has had a lot to overcome, from initial bad publicity over the age gap to last-minute reshoots because of Oh Dal Soo being outed as a sexual predator and having to be replaced. But they did it so well, none of that early nonsense talk even matters.

  • I put it on hold to marathon on it, can’t wait to watch! I’m glad it was an actual healing drama in the end. And based on your description of it Miss Koala, it’s something I really need to watch at this point in my life.

  • The drama is perfect from start to finish. (Cant say the same with misty and pretty noona). It is a drama that you want to watch time in time again. I have good cry since Go Back Couple (My mister is a better drama but GBC is higher emotional to me).

    Congrats to IU to have a turning point in her acting career. That is very brave of her to take a script like this.

    I love the drama soundtrack.

  • Great drama! The ending is perfect. I hope it will win a lot of drama awards in year end events. Both LSK and IU deserve more recognition of their great efforts and talents. ????

  • I really loved this drama,both actors were perfect in their role. I always loved LS but I do have to recognise IU was great too.
    Can't wait to see them in more dramas.

  • Beautiful ending. IU showed a range beyond her peers. The whole cast and writing remained stellar from beginning to end.

  • This healing drama was just so unique and beautiful until the very end. I absolutely loved it and no words can really make the drama justice, it needs to be seen to be understood!

    Hehe, I can't believe that I was feeling a bit skeptical about the show when watching the first 4 episodes. But then again the beginning was quite depressing :P Just keep watching and see the magic unfold!

  • My Ajusshi is perfection. It's flawless and exquisitely beautiful. I know Lee Seon Kyun is a terrific actor but he never failed to blow me away in ever single episode with his masterful translation of Park Dong Hoon. And IU is equally great and ofc, who in the world could ever thought that LDK-IU chemistry is that amazing. The ending is just appropriate and natural for the show and on top of thay, there's never been a single weak episode during its entire run. I could never watch another drama and feel the same way anymore ???

  • Congratulations! It's one of the best drama of this year. I still can forget the emotion from every touching moment, and the ost too..

  • This drama is best of the year 2018..everyone has done so well on it. From supporting actor to lead actors and director. I hope it will win many awards this year it will be totally deserving one.
