I have no words... The best Korean drama of all time. Period. This brings me to tears every time I watch an episode, yes it is emotional but not only that, it's the writing, the acting, it feels like you are in the big screen. It's a simple show but so big. It's like an ant crying 5,000 times it's weight. The lead acting is phenomenal...this tv show is a classic. I have watched 5 straight episodes in one day. I'm almost to the end but my goodness, this is incredible. This is near perfect, wow. Shout out to the people who left reviews. I turned a blind eye because of the title and it didn't look appealing. I mostly like fantasy, dynasty, Joseon type drama. Trust me I watch Live, stranger, etc. but oh my... this to show is a must watch. It gets better after a few episodes when the characters develop. Thanks for making this Tv show and big shout out to Netflix for a bigger Audience.
This drama is a unique drama that does not portray the fantasy/romance world of dramas, but instead shows the value of life.
A real tear jerker of a series: it could've been a turn off if they pitched the relationship between the lead characters wrongly, ie a young woman and a middle aged man, but it turned out very effectively done; so emotional and beautiful at the same time. The plight of the characters really affected me deeply, it's such a brilliant story.
I started K dramas mostly for romance and I won't be wrong if I say that I always go for genres that are listed as romance and comedy. But after reading the reviews and popularity of My Ahjussi I thought of giving it a try. When I started with it I was at the verge of dropping the show but I continued. And just after 1 episode I was hooked. My Ahjussi is not an easy watch and it won't be shocking if you cry bucket full tears as I did. But if you are looking for something deep with no- nonsense stuff then you need to be patient and watch this show.
It depicts humanity in the most purest form and the power of kindness. It has some of the most powerful dialogues backed with powerful performances by the actors. I was not able to point out a single plot hole in the whole run of 16 episode. It is a must must watch and do not miss this gem of a show.
My Ajussi is far, far, FAR from the average Korean TV drama, though the vital part of longing and lingering feelings runs as deep as ever in this dark, brutal and beautiful story of love. Lived. Lost. Abandonned. Found.
The drama is gifted with strong characters. Also in the supporting roles. All struggling and wrapped in the curse and poetry of daily life filled with dark corners and moral choices.
From the perspective of a Scandinavian viewer, the story is told with a strangely familiar "Nordic Noir" grip and is definately some of the best Korean drama I have ever wiewed. Adding that I have viewed a lot.
