How fun! I have to say I haven't really had the desire to visit South Korea until this show, and definitely now after working on the location posts. Hope you find the rail tracks, the bridges, Ji An's house, Jung Hee's bar, etc.

I've been to Seoul 3 times, last 2 occasions for media trips. Never felt the urge to return (I've always favoured Japan over S.Korea). But My Mister's a game-changer. I now see Seoul in a different light. Let's see how it goes with this trip; hoping I can find some MA fan-made merchandise.

This forum is so quite now...
Has everyone move on?
SpoilerHere's some treat for you guys
Park Dong Hoon's super rare smile
Haven't moved on. Heading to Korea next week, and I'll be visiting a couple of the MA locations. Wish me luck in finding the spots!

@ccl82, what a timely question. I just came across this awesome blog a few days ago:
https://koreandramaland.com/jobs/?search_keywords=my+mister&submit=
https://koreandramaland.com/my-mister-2018-all-filming-locations-overview/
Hopefully we'll include something like this on the fan site some day. But you asked about how easy it is to get there, and I have no idea. The owners of that blog are super nice though, so you may want post your question there.
Thank you. Exactly what I'm looking for!

I can't believe I watched WWWSK. Down to last episode, yo! Also enjoying Stranger aka Secret Forest.
Not super related to the show, but, has anyone visited My Mister filming sites? I'm heading to Seoul in Sep, just wondering how easy it is to make your way to the locations.

In this Ep 14 scene, starting at ~ 0:22, what's the song playing in the background? Please post the lyrics here if you figure it out. I can't help but think this has some significance after all the mindblowing commentary on Dong Hoon & Yoon Hee's soundtrack, Joon Young & Yoon Hee's soundtrack and Dong Hoon's Yearning to be Free.
I've noted before that there were 2 different songs played for different platforms. On tvN channel itself, this was a Korean song with a male singer; online & in this tvN clip you shared, it's an English song with a female singer.

That was quick! Thank you!
Next question: do you know how the drama is aired in Japan? I mean – is it subtitled in Japanese? Or dubbed?
And, more generally: are Korean dramas often aired this soon in Japan after being shown in Korea?
Not sure about MA, but when I was in Japan last year, I saw a Korean drama on TV. In Korean, with Japanese subtitles.

How are you finding it? I tried watching it but it really just felt sooo cliche and boring. Seemed like a great cast but no substance on the plot. Ive read comments about it too so I think its a no go for me at the moment. The plot seems to be the usual trope too. Im trying to watch Oh Jak Doo at the moment but MA is so hard to move on from lol
I'm watching it just for the sake of watching a new Kdrama on TV. I like PSJ, but I agree it's the usual stuff. Guy pulls girl's arm, girl fall into guy's lap, awkward kiss... Most of the time, I'm really just watching WWWSK while surfing the net, cooking etc.

No no. That’s supposed to happen after they kiss. Remember?
Hahah. When I saw the photo, I immediately saw Dong-hoon and Ji-an, NOT LSG and LJE.
I imagine DH would totally wear this kinda outfit come summer, and JA would totally wear this kinda outfit after the time jump.And LOOK, LOOOKKKKKKKKKKKK at how they're staring at each other.
OMG MY HEART. I DIE.
*Side note: Watching WWWSK, and the couple from Because This Is My First Life made a cameo, as husband and wife. I can only hope LSG & LJE will be invited to make an appearance on another show as a couple

Just FYI, I have noted that they're using different songs Dramafever and on tvN. One scene that I can recall: when JH told DH that JA dropped by in the morning.
On tvN, it's a Korean song. On Dramafever/ online, it's a Western song. My guess is this is related to copyright issues.

@h2ogirl your gifs should really all go in the fansite! We should compile all 'looking for JA' gifs in 1 post

Rolling right on to episode 15....and I have a gif request!!! I was bursting with Dong Hoon’s longing and desire for Ji An....and then this line from the directors killed me. LOL.
Director: No way....she can’t be the spy who loved the enemy...
Park Dong Woon: major eye roll.
And a second one, minutes later.
Dong Hoon: Ji An and I...we are close
Park Dong Woon: another major eye roll
@h2ogirl gif request please!

I have a question.
Why doesn’t Park Dong Hoon drive?
(besides that we’d all get over awed by his manliness)
Why did Park Hae Young make him a character that gets driven (by Yoon Hee, his co-workers)?
He does drive, but off the top of my head I can only remember two scenes. The supermarket run, and Ji An to see her grandma.
Any thoughts?
By his co-workers probably because he's the boss. Bosses get to sit back and relax.
With YH, I think they take turns to drive her car.
Why doesn't he get his own car and drive to work? Probably easier for him to just take the train; less headache since they don't need to think about getting extra parking spot @ home. What's it like for most Korean households in Seoul? Here in Malaysia, I would say it's getting to a point where each family member has their own car!
@sadiesmith I've asked this question before too. I don't think this is unique to just My Mister; I swear to god I've seen this in other Korean shows & movies but I can't seem to name even one right now, haha.
Edit: Ok I found something to read

On Ae Omma
The other interesting thing I read while looking through linguistics analysis, is "ae omma" suggests he doesn't know the person well, otherwise he should use Ji Seok Omma.
Another clue they're not close: his acquaintance/ friend asked DH, "Oh he's in the US?" A close friend would know.
The photo with the 3 of them, where was it last seen? The one with him and JS, I saw it in episode 3/4/5 when the gossipy staff told off JA for kissing DH. It was on his desk.
@h2ogirl there was another scene where he restrained himself. When JA cried at the morgue (?), she dropped to the floor, and you can see he's in pain, seeing her in pain, but even then, all he did was gave her a few pat, and helped her get up. He was very cautious about the way he touched her.

In episode 11, right after DH hit JA on the back of her head, he went home and just stared into nothingness, phone in hand. When YH asked him what he was doing, he said: I was just on the phone. Do you guys think he was contemplating to call JA?
Also, has anyone already note the similarity between KH's and DH's dash to confession? Both KH & DH starts off running, before hailing a cab. Only difference is, KH narrates his run: "Let's go damnit! Let's go if you want to see her!"

- More to add on DH and crying. He seems to head straight to the bathroom to either cry OR to stop himself from breaking down. He's never been shown to actually cry in the bathroom. However, he has cried his eyes out in front of YH, and has shed a tear (literally a tear) a few times: before confronting GI, on the street after he found JA bugged his phone, when DJY told him about JA.
- Just realised that aside from JA, right til the end of the show, no one else in DH's 'circle' found out who beat him up except for DJY. Also, as @h2ogirl pointed out, DJY is quite possibly the only person who's implied that DH likes JA. More reasons to love DJY, LOL. (It's also worth noting that in the taxi ride home when DH didn't text 'thank you' to JA, KH said: "Just say thank you. Why? Are you having an affair?" I can't be sure if I saw this subtitle on tvN/ online.
- JA's birth year on her resume: 1998. Like DH, she's a Tiger too! According to Chinese zodiac, they're not compatible. As such, I will stop looking at zodiac, HAHA. But not before noting that:
DH is a Wood Tiger
"These Tigers are honest and don’t have much to worry about. Their descendants will make them proud."
JA is an Earth Tiger
"These Tigers often go to extremes. You can swing from coldness to warm enthusiasm quickly. However, you are extremely intelligent and will chance upon good opportunity later on."
- @sadiesmith English subtitles on tvN (the channel)
I didn’t leave my heart
Where the cold wind blows
I didn’t leave any regrets
Where the dark clouds loom
Ah, but whenever I’m reminded of you
When love keeps me up all night
But when I do think about it
It’s at a place so far away
And I can’t help but shed a tear at this loneliness
My love doesn’t linger
Where the golden sun has set
Nor is my love in a cozy abode
Nestled in a deep forest by the lake
Ah, but whenever I’m reminded of you
When love keeps me up all night
But when I do think about it
It’s at a place so far away
And I can’t help but shed a tear at this loneliness
Ah, but whenever I’m reminded of you
When love keeps me up all night
But when I do think about it
It’s at a place so far away
And I can’t help but shed a tear at this loneliness

Thank you! I was hoping there would be another translation of the lyrics other than the one I saw on Youtube. The line "Oh, if I happen to think of them", about the pronoun them, this is actually not referring to a plural entity, right? It should have gone something like "Oh, if I happen to think about her/him", a third person singular, right? This pronoun is referring to "a person I miss", doesn't it? If my guess is correct, and the camera keeps showing us Ji An in her new place far away from Dong Hoon's neighborhood, I think it is very safe to say that show is telling us literally that DH is thinking about her when he sings that song. He misses her!
But of course all this is lost on half the watching population.
I would say, the way the shots were juxtaposed, and where that scene is in the plotline, yes, it's him thinking of her.
For me, 'them' = his love, his regrets, the places. If he happens to think of these things, he would stay up all night, because there's a person he misses. Would probably need someone who understands Korean to translate for us.

Does anyone have the lyrics to the song?
Here you go (grabbed this online, so, likely from Dramafever):
I didn’t leave my heart behind
In the place where the chilly breeze blows
And I didn’t leave my regrets behind
In that place where the clouds swirl and wander around
Oh, if I happen to think of them
I stay up all night because I have a person I miss
If I stop to think about it, it’s a very distant place
And it drenches this lonely heart of mine with tears
My love does not linger in that place
Where the sun sets with a golden light
My love does not linger in that place
In that cozy place near the lake within the green forest
Oh, if I happen to think of them
I stay up all night because I have a person I miss
If I stop to think about it, it’s a very distant place
And it drenches this lonely heart of mine with tears
Oh, if I happen to think of them
I stay up all night because I have a person I miss
If I stop to think about it, it’s a very distant place
And it drenches this lonely heart of mine with tears
That part between verses where he tried to keep his cool tho...

@h2ogirl Yup, which is why, I wish they'd show him crying in the bathroom. I think if they did, then it's clear (or rather, clearer to deniers), what kinda 'relationship' these two have.
@justamom , thank you, and for me, DH began to share his intimate thoughts with JA much earlier. Possibly earlier than episode 3, but the 'I'll hate you too MIster' scene stood out the most. She kept pushing for him to open up about DJY, and if you notice, he slowly let his guard down.
"Everyone I hate seems to succeed." Which other successful person does he hate other than DJY? Could it be YH? (On a side note, I remember watching this scene for the first time thinking DH seems to have a feeling something is going on between YH & DJY, but does not want to face it)
Check out how intensely he's looking at her when she asked him to hate her. I think here, she's hit the spot.
SpoilerWhen she told him she'd completely hate him too, guess how he reacted? He looked away.
SpoilerThis is followed by the ''squished in train, bugged his phone' scene. Check out the number on the train track.
The initial death of guarded DH?

Just for fun: Chinese zodiac for those born in 1974, taken from https://chinesenewyear2018.com/zodiac/tiger/. Green highlights: totally on point, blue highlights: need to check out more details on YH / JA.
Personality and characteristics
Tigers are kind and benevolent. Animals, jazz music or other things that call for imagination are good for them. They rarely feel tired and have rich emotions. Sometimes though, they make brash decisions and are hard to control. But no matter how many difficulties or obstacles they face, they will never give up. In the end, Tigers live an average life—there are times of joy, sadness and sometimes disappointment.
Men born in the Tiger year are adventurous spirits. The riskier something is, the more they want to try it. They aren’t afraid of expressing themselves and can be aggressive in work. Sometimes their confidence makes it difficult to connect with others, so they need to open up a little. They are positive and have high beauty standards. However, they lack romance and might create a cold and unhappy family.
Compatibility
Most compatible with: Pig, Horse, Dog
As a Tiger, they are most compatible with Pigs. Both of them will see the other as most important and are willing to make sacrifices whenever needed. They are able to be themselves in this relationship and similar goals make up for differences in personality.
Horses are able to attract a Tiger’s attention. Their relationship will include mutual respect and support. Hard on themselves and others, a Tiger will only reveal their gentle side to the honest Dog. They will also encourage the Dog to go after their goals and withstand the troubles together.
Least compatible with: Monkey, Snake
A Monkey and Tiger have clashing personalities. They want and need different things. This relationship can only end in arguments.
It’s hard for a Snake and Tiger to sympathize and understand each other. The relationship will be full of suspect and coldness.
Lucky things for Tigers
- Colors: green, blue (JA's usual / more memorable colours)
- Numbers: 1, 3, 7
- Flowers: plum blossom
- Directions of auspiciousness: north
- Directions of wealth: southeast, northwest
- Directions of love: east
Unlucky things
- Colors: white (YH's usual shade)
- Numbers: 4, 9
Careers fit for TigersTigers are born leaders. If forced to do jobs that are the same every day or have no meaning to them, they will not put in their best effort. Though they believe in doing their best, they need a job that actually uses their skills.
Their job should not merely be a way to earn money. It should be a part of their lives. Rather than working to live, they live to work. A high position leadership or management position would be the best fit.
However, Tigers are both suspicious and gullible. Add in short tempers, they are prone to making horrible decisions and lose the respect of others. Tigers who wish to become leaders must remember to listen to coworkers and think things through before acting.
Tigers in the Year of the Dog (2018)Overall, the Year of the Dog will be positive for them. Tigers have the space to express themselves with their talents and skills. If they put effort and time into your career, they’ll find great success. But Tigers must consider long term effects; otherwise they’ll miss out on rare opportunities.
Career
Tigers will have successful careers this year, but only if they are careful. If they work to help the company profit, they’ll receive the recognition and rewards they wish for. Businessmen shouldn’t be too impatient about developing though. If they don’t plan well, the money they put in might never come back. For the stock market, they shouldn’t follow everyone else. Instead, they must base investments on past experience and data.
They’ll also meet a “savior” who will give them much needed help. Business and store owners should use this year’s fortune in building reputation. Take advantage of the internet and other platforms to expand your market.
If they wish to switch jobs, they’ll find luck in that as well.
Successful months are: Lunar January (Feb 16-March 16), March (April 16-May 14), and August (Sept 30-Oct 8).
The months with most work obstacles are: Lunar April (May 15-June 13) and September (Oct 9-Nov 7).

Yes, I'm still alive @justamom !!! Although I would love for them to kiss.
Re-watched epis 13 & 14 over Raya. Just some things to note:#1 Dong-hoon's place to cry/take a breather is the loo
KH's question for DH in epi 13DH in epi 6. Went straight to the loo to compose himself before facing his bros & soccer team
SpoilerDH in epi 16, after losing both YH & JA
SpoilerSomeone here asked about scene wishlist. Here's mine: I wish they'd shown DH breaking down in the toilet while they were celebrating his promotion @ JH's bar. I've always suspected that that's where he disappeared to, at least twice. This is right after he discovered JA's number's no longer in service. Maybe they'll share via director's cut?
#2 JA is DH's no. 1
Spoiler#3 What were the 3 disasters?
First, can anyone read what DH actually typed? tvN's Malay subtitles when translated mentioned '3 disasters'. Which made me think, what 3 disasters did DH think he was destined to face (by episode 14)? "My wife cheated on me", "My bosses tried to fire me"... Could the third be "I just lost my soulmate?" He sent this to the monk the morning after the goodbye call. Actually, even if it didn't say 3 disasters, it's interesting he sent it at that moment in time.
#4 One more thing to add to DH's 'safety first approach'
Apologies if someone's noted this before, but he pulled out the charger before taking YH's 'your bros already know' call.

[Drama 2018] My Mister, 나의 아저씨 - Best Drama at 2019 (55th) BaekSang Arts Awards
in k-dramas & movies
Posted
This has been a fantastic year for me, as I rediscovered Kdramas and South Korea thanks mostly to My Mister.
Have a fantastic 2019, squad.
P.S: Watching and loving Alhambra, have ditched Encounter.
