- My Mister is a korean tv drama series that's a sleeper hit on netflix and has developed a cult following around the world thanks to it's class!
It's also my favourite drama series of all time!
It's getting harder and harder to decide on what to show and breakdown...but
in this video we'll go over my favourite scenes from My Mister Episode 6...
If I'd describe the dynamics in this episode between the main two characters we're finding Lee Ji-An having made a complete turnaround, now worrying about Dong Hoon's mental state while he is processing the fact that his wife has been having an affair with the CEO, the man he hates the most.
Yoo Ra and Gi Hoon are having some incredible scenes as well as their relationship becomes clearer, sadly I couldn't show the whole episode but several other scenes deserved being mentioned.
What a great episode with so many highlights...and scenes that reverberate throughout the drama because of their huge significance.
Enjoy the video, pls share, like and join the conversation!

That scene at the end is my favorite in this episode. When he says that he is scared, that she might know everything about him without his even saying a word, and the look on her face. So well acted, and it in one moment plays off the fact that she knows everything, due to having wiretapped him, but at the same time, like you said, there's an almost soulmates level of connection between them that you get the feeling that she would know anyway.
05:04 at this point she started to live in his breathing, it is so intimate and moving.
The Han River Bridge is a famous place for suicide. The fence contains encouraging words to prevent suicide.
Ahhh...I didn't realise that..that makes even more sense! thanks for adding that!👍🤓
thanks for telling!
As I've already written, there are so many scenes I love in this episode, but one of the most "controversial" for me (emotionally speaking) is their discussion in the bar. As you have excellently pointed out, he speaks convinced of having to/being able to teach something as "the adult" in this relationship, but in reality they are "growing together". It's a really interesting mutual relationship, which in my opinion transcends friendship or classic romance. It's something much deeper and "visceral", and I think that's the reason why we empathize so much with the characters.
yeah...growing together is exactly how I see it too...even though I feel it's almost like he's talking like he's more mature out of habit...but step by step he realises that she has already grown up much more in certain areas than him! It's funny though...it's like she's helping him express his feelings and break out of his box and he's helping her develop some hope for happiness. :-)
@@ManVsDrama in the video you spoke about "soul mates", and I think it's pretty right! They have a "communion of souls" and they are able to fully develop themselves by helping the other to grow. I hope it's an understandable thought 😅
@@Chiacchi86 totally!
It's been a long time since I watched this drama, but every time I listen to OST, I feel my emotions come back like waves.
Yup...that OST is quite something 👍😁
This is one of my favourite episodes. It's in this point of the story that PDH discovers the Phonebooth and evidence of KY's affair. At the beginning of the episode the scene with them eating in the restaurant. KY still trying to convince him to leave and start a business, the disdain on her face towards him as she belittles him about how his colleagues must treat him at work, marvellous acting by both. Juxtapose that against her confession at the end of episode 9, where she refers to him as "Honey" a term of endearment she has never used to describe him throughout the entire story thus far. Where it falls down I think is that of all the places in Seoul with phonebooths, that she could be using to conduct her affair, he suddenly turns near to the one she is actually using. This does not seem to phase her in the slightest, when later she witnesses it being removes that does not phase her either. Probably nit picking here, I think that was a missed chance of introducing some angst in to her character about getting caught. Then again I suppose the brazen arrogance of how she conducts the affair again just amplifies her awful disdain toward PDH. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.
Interesting how technology (tracking the location of a phone, listening in on a phone's microphone, etc) is leading to scenes and storylines that would of been impossible even 10 years ago. You have to wonder what the next 10 years will bring. Almost like granting believable supernatural powers to a character.
Yes interesting point.i grew up in East Germany so bugging people's home was STH the stasi (state security) did frequently..but it's a lot easier these days...however...the only weak point in the plot to me is possibly how easy it seemed for Lee Ji an to install the bug...surely that was a little too easy I would think?
@@ManVsDramaGood point, although the program is probably more written like a virus that installs itself silently, rather than a typical Google-Play app with multiple permission grantings, and 'checkbox to accept terms of agreement'. If I remember correctly, she plugged in a USB key into the phone, so it was a directly connection as opposed through the (slower) internet. (I actually work in tech and we use secret 'developer' options of the phones we work with to override regular phone behaviour, like granting permissions)
@@pastexpiry2013B omg..that sounds horrendous...better keep my phone in my pocket! 👍😁
There’s lots of truth in ‘when no one knows, whatever happened could be nothing’. Things can be quietly buried and healed someday. I learned a lot from Donghoon’s dialogues. Honesty matters, but there are moments it is better unspoken, untold and unheard.
mmhh...I am more on her side of the argument in this debate...it's a waste of time to try to hide stuff from people. it creates a lot of stress. He gets so much happier when he realises that there's no point hiding his wife's affair from the world...dont you think?
@@ManVsDrama Donghoon is a pretty introvert person.
I think he must have a big responsibility on maintaining his family and career.
Also inheritedly he is so kind to his neigbhor people. All these factors make him
hard and prudent on solving his conflicts.
I agree, if someone has watched through this episode and stops, they are crazy.
A few scenes in 7 that are standout to me:
1. The scene where they walk Jeong Hui "home". We know she's a long time friend of the brothers and the community, but no one knows her situation in reality and that she just lives upstairs of her bar. She keeps this facade up to make it seem like shes happy with everything, when in reality she is really as miserable as everyone else. We tend to do this too, we'll keep the fake smile/happy attitude in front of friends to not make them worry or worse, lose them because you fear they aren't really your friends once they find out the truth.
2. The dialogue at dinner after they get off the train. We start with Ji An talking about how there were people that have helped her in the past, was kind to her, until they found out about her past and abandoned her after. She says something along the lines of where people despise the life that has no hope and that people's kindness is just fake. Coincidentally, I think this also applies to Jeong Hui and this is one of her greatest fears. Dong Hoon then talks about how he's living a life of torment and is being punished and Ji An responds with isn't punishment for someone who did something wrong and immediately follows that up by casually asking him if she should just go kill the CEO. He thinks she's joking, but we know she isn't; you can see the sincere look in her eyes and expression that she wants to end at least one thing that's tormenting him.
thanks for these! as you can see from the next video I didn't choose these scenes but could have just as well! incidentally...I never thought that she's seriously suggesting to him that she go and murder the CEO in cold blood..that's not in her dna....also first of all she knows he's going to laugh and obviously won't say "Yes, why not"...so my reading is more like she's saying that like you say that to a friend who's a way to comfort them and make them smile...just my reading though...love love love that scene though..it's a pity I couldn't fit it into the next video as well!
I''ve just finished this drama a week before. After talking about this with someone at work by chance, I found I was touched by the background music. And while browsing the OST, I came across your review for Ep6. As a middle-aged Korean man, I thought this series was touching to me because it's all about the stories of middle-aged Korean men anyway. But, after reading your review, I realized that wasn't true. This drama is definitely the story of Jian. And the reason why I reacted to this drama is probably because Jian symbolizes the universal human nature. Blessings to all Jian in the world, I'd go see the rest of the review, thanks.
Love your comments...it's about so many things isn't it.... It's hard to put into words! Doesn't stop us from trying! Hope you enjoy the series...be sure to comment!✊😎
Love your breakdowns of the scenes and drama as a whole, it reflects a lot of what i was thinking when watching the show, and adds a little extra appreciation for some of it on top!
Kdrama was never something i was specifically interested in (i am more of a cinema guy), but my mister truly got me. It's such a nice mix of incredibly deep, human drama, and more comic relief elements which still have thematic purpose (the brothers mostly), though sometimes i didn't fully connect with some tonal shifts or more 'soapy' elements. But that's only small stuff here and there.
Favorite scene has to be the ending, where ji-an hears that dong-hoon asks for her (clear sign he needs her just as much as she needs him), runs there and they share another dinner together. Love his reason to hire her, love them laughing together (might be her first in the whole drama at that point, huge) and it at the same time sets ups another hurdle / point of outer conflict
with kwang-il (loan shark) spying on them.
Yeah I guess that scene is going to be in it! 👍😁 Thanks for your observations!
Please don't cut down the number of scenes you review to just one for each episode. It would not do justice to the many outstanding scenes that would be left out; they are worth discussing and dissecting by us fans of this drama. The more you review the better !
As for the favorite scenes in Ep. 7, I reckon most people would pick the last scene where Ji-an ran to meet Dong-hoon at the little restaurant and where we see her smile for the first time. That's one of my favorites too, but I would point out a couple more that I liked. One is an earlier scene at the same restaurant where they had this deep conversation ("people help me about four times before they stop and start avoiding me", paraphrasing) and the other is Yu-ra's speech at the bar about being a failure and yet still being able to live happily. That is a life lesson that resonates with me. Looking forward to seeing which scene(s) you choose for your next video and your discussion of them.
It gets harder and harder...after rewatching theres also the scene with dong hoons mum which really moves me now...and yes....I am with you on the other scenes...mmmhh...j might have to do individual characters best scenes after this lol! 👍😁
@@ManVsDrama It must be the scene with his mum at her sons' cleaning company "office". After going over that scene again, I agree it is a gem. She said a lot of things that are impactful and make great sense ..... and the emotions she showed at the end (being upset and concerned about Dong hoon) are spot on. What a great actress!
Thanks for sharing, the depth of their relationship is what I loved. The best drama ever, it is so heartfelt and powerful. Will be giving it my second watch soon.
totally agree...the relationships go deeper than in any other drama I've seen...👍😉
Welcome back, Mr Drama Man …continues to appreciate your analysis of our Hero & Heroine inner turmoils of fear, despair & confusion resulting from ‘external forces’ ( his wife’s affair ) crumbling Dong Hoon’s perfect life as perceived by Mother, brothers & his peers. And the other shaky external force being Jian’s crime revisited in her tormented mind.. I feel so much for them by seeing their facial expressions & the music soars their inner feelings & Ours too. GOMAWO.
Perfect summary there! Thanks for adding it! 👍😁
I'm interested that ep15 is your fav and you define it "romantic", because ep15 is also the episode that fans who don't believe in any romantic relationship between the two often use to define them as adult and child. Thank you again for the scenes in ep6. I can't wait for your breakdown on ep7, which is my fav because of all the buildups from 5,6 and the ending with a smile :)
Also, surprisingly many adults in Korea agree to DH's BS about not talking about gossip. A lot adults in Korea were forced to hide their emotions to protect their family. Not that I agree or even the writer agrees (since it does backfire on ep15), but a portrayal that many could relate
ah well...if people define her as a child it's a little strange to me. She's a 21 year old woman...It feels the most romantic to me because he goes into full male protector mode, running to her, trying to find her, trying to save her from being on the run and sacrificing his long held hang ups about keeping his secrets for her well being and all that...but yeah...those are just my vibes from it! gonna be hard picking scenes from it though...omg!👍😁
@@ManVsDrama I wholeheartedly agree with your take; I just wanted to share various opinions among the fandom. There is so much gold in Ep7 to a point that Idk how you're going to choose only a couple scenes from it (same with Ep 12&16 personally), but I'll be looking forward that much!
weird, cause that scene is one of the romance trope in kdrama tho hahaha
Thank you for reviewing the masterpiece of k-drama.
thanks for commenting and sharing! 👍😉
The way showing their back when they are true themselves is always noticeable in this show like when he said thank you to her for slapping the guy in this episode.
By the way, you when almost teary talking about Ji-an are me whenever I talk about this show.
😂
lol...I've been doing well so far in these videos...that first scene usually always sets me off!!
I'm curious about your thoughts on the existential themes or messages often expressed among the brothers? I hope you can also talk about it in your next revisits. Thank you, sir!
yeah it's getting super difficult to choose scenes for these videos...I don't want to end up always just focussing on Lee Ji-An and Dong Hoon...but they make it so damn hard by burning up the screen these two! But yes, they brothers are coming too- and Yoo Ra!
@@ManVsDrama It would take a series of reviews with the best scenes for each and every character, otherwise with this incredible show you always end up doing wrong to some character 😅
@@ManVsDrama Well, sir, I don't mind you focusing on the two! They are indeed the "main characters" of the show, although every single one has something good to teach us too.
I said it before as a joke, but in fact it might be an idea, at the end of all the episodes, to create a video with your favorite scene of the various characters during the drama... But maybe it's too demanding (especially the choice😅😝)
@@Chiacchi86 Good idea, if this would not take so much time :) we would love to hear his thoughts of other characters in one video :D
I understand your response. It's my life drama.
It is a good drama but I feel sorry for you that there is no perfect way to deliver what exactly Jian and Donghoon communicate their inside due to the translation. Your analytical review is something never seen before. Great. Thanks.
Thanks.🙏
In episode 6 here as well as in other episodes, in the Dong-hoon's scene where Ji-an is listening in his deep sighs, Dong-hoon shouldn't have kept his mouth firmly shut, :D. A bit wanting about the directing...
I assume they added the breathing in post production to enhance impact...it's true..of course it's heightened.,.glad they did it. Maybe they discovered how useful it is later...
It's a pivotal episode
Thank you for this review!!!
My pleasure. And thank you for recording that great track with Yuna! 👍😉 (if you're the rapper Jay Park) 😆
Oh no i am not that guy. just the same names. i am just your fan 😁
@@jaypark6698 haha...I figured.but you know...you never know👍😜 thanks for being a subscriber and commenting!
Thank you for the detailed review.
Thanks...hope you enjoy the rest of the series! 👍😉
完全同感
I'm curious which scene you will choose for the next episode, which is so significant in every part. I don't know exactly why, but my choice falls on the train scene where Dong Hoon tells Ji An that her grandmother is entitled to free assistance. It's my favorite scene in the whole drama (along with Ji An apologizing on the street and the monk asking Dong Hoon if that's the life he would like for his son). I don't know if it's the way it's shot, but it lifts me up and breaks my heart at the same time! Every time I feel like crying before the scene even starts...
that's a good one...subtle but yes very significant and oddly moving...I don't know yet what's going to be in the video..it's going to be harder and harder to choose!
@@ManVsDrama .
남자를 울리는 드라마
Episode six, I recall, was when I quipped to a friend that the heroine resembling a 'drowned rat'. That second scene she's at her most downtrodden and vulnerable. The bravado is gone and all that remains is a pathetic little girl with no defenses.
well, you seem to read it slightly negatively...I love how she has changed in this episode because she's warmed up, started caring about something and seems just really worried about him...so I am all for it! 👍🤓
