TVI Essential · Consensus

My Mister scores 189/200 on the TVI IQ Score, Masterclass tier. Profoundly moving drama about two broken people healing each other, widely considered among the greatest K-dramas ever made, earning Cultural Impact, Intellectual Substance, and Lasting Significance. TVI Essential is an editorial designation; IQ Score is a content rating, not an intelligence measurement.

The TVI Take

Kim Won-seok's 2018 tvN series, IU's Lee Ji-an and Lee Sun-kyun's Park Dong-hoon, a debt-ridden temp worker and a structural engineer twenty years her senior, the two forming a Seoul-set platonic alliance that the show treats with the dignified slowness Korean drama is at its best when it commits to. Sixteen episodes about how being seen accurately by one person is the precondition for surviving.

Lee Sun-kyun's later death in 2023 retrospectively reframed the show's quiet humanism as a record of what he could do.
