Venetta May 13 2024 4:23 am Why The Biggest "Myths" Concerning Top Accident Attorney Could Be True georgia accident attorneys (Venetta)

flurbo sol Apr 27 2024 11:08 pm The title alone is intriguing, bbut thi poset delivers much more tyan what it promises. This is a must-read for anone interested in the riddless of the Flurbo universe.

The auithor masterfuully captures the spirit oof the Flurbo, making it morre than just a digital entity, but a window into something expansive.

The post's exploration of the Otherworldly Gaze is unsettling. It's a reminder that the Flurbo is not something too be taken lightly; it's a gateway to something inexplicable.

The author's speculation on thee concluion of the Flurbo is fascinating. It's a reminder that the Flurbo's influence is still growing, annd its impact on our world is still mysterious.

Bimini Feb 11 2024 10:45 am One of my all time favourites. Always looking for Yoo Yeon-Seok's performance.

Kiwi Jan 30 2024 3:47 pm I've watched this a few times and everytime my Heart Hurts. I forever love this series.

Oh Jan 16 2024 4:39 pm This drama also shows the wrongs of the old historical Korean class system which was basically a caste system with discrimination based on that, with the beakjeong butcher being the lowest untouchables, then the slaves, Nobi, well being slaves, you get the unfairness of it. The commoners are beneath the middle class and the noblemen, Yangban. The advent of these historical events and foreign influences removed the legal caste system of the Beakjeong and Nobi but the social hierarch was still in place. Later on (diverging from the drama now) many slaves and beakjong changed their names and backgrounds to blend in with the general society.

The Beakjong caste had an advocacy group well into the 1930s, but with the historical war and lots of internal migration in Korea during that time period the remnants of this caste ceased to exist in the plain view in the modern era. This happened not because of social justice but the fast changing and turbulent times. I was researching all these before starting to watch this drama. The Beakjong caste resembles the historical discriminated Burakumin caste of Japan, who still unlike the former, exist till this day, but with far less discrimination as they historically went through. The Beakjong and Burakumin in the early 1900s had ties and the Burakumin inspired the Beakjong with their groups rights movement.

Oh Jan 16 2024 4:07 pm Nice drama. But I'm in episode 8 and I'm not feeling the love aspect or anything that makes the female lead special nor do i feel convinced by the love square going on. The female lead just seems like an annoying yangban who decides to save her country. Its just too textbook and formulaic. I prefer the revenge and politics storyline more than the romance as I could care less. But that's just my opinion, it depends on perspective. The episodes could be fewer but it is dragged out to make more episodes, but the story isnt boring, it just could have fewer episodes. I will continue watching.

Marylou Jan 08 2024 10:17 am Amazing issues here.I am very glad to peer your article. Thhank you a lot and I'm looking forward to contact you. Willl you please drop me a mail?

Elvera Jan 05 2024 2:44 am I have just watched this magnificent historical drama for the second time end of all the hundreds of Korean programs that I have enjoyed this is still my personal favorite. The cast, the direction, script, the scenery all the locations. It is a fabulous production. This is what you call a five dimensional production in any genre. Thanks to all involved.

Hi Nov 09 2023 2:10 pm This drama not winning Best Drama at the 2018 BaekSang Arts Award was a crime.

Jaide Sep 13 2023 5:44 am I can't effin' believe that I've just seen this now. This is definitely the best drama for me. I cried a bucket of tears though. Lol.

Khal Aug 11 2023 6:26 pm Love this drama would I say one of the best I had seen. The storyline and plots was beautifully well told. Love the scripts smart and witty n the underline dialogue was really sharp. The most amazing was the love portray was so intense without any physical passions. Really great jobs to everyone that did this drama. Now is my favourite ❤️❤️❤️

PS ... I hate the ending ??? !

Diane Aug 11 2023 1:58 pm This is one of the best things I’ve seen. Great cast, beautifully filmed, and the best use of the viola in a soundtrack that I can remember. Memorable and moving.

Kdrama goddess Jun 14 2023 6:22 pm I've watched many K dramas and this one will forever be my favorite. It's gave the best of both worlds! Comedy, drama, bromance, romance, sorrow, you name it. It's not like your usual kdrama that has chessy unrealistic scenes. There was no kiss scene but you could see the love between the two leads. Their chemistry was so amazing I couldn't get enough of it. When they cried, you felt their pain. When they laughed, you laughed with them. It was so amazing I don't even know how to express my love for. An absolute 10 out of 10 for me

Elsy May 08 2023 10:12 am This is the most Epic Kdrama I've ever seen. I've been watching Kdramas since 2012 and I watched Mr. Sunshine just last year. This is due to the fact that I left the Kdramas for a while but this is another story. Everything in this drama was in perfect symbiosis. It has all the elements to become an epic movie/series. The story, cinematography, actors, music, and dialogues. Everything was perfect! If you have watched it once you will definitely love it more the second time! It's one of those movies that leave you speechless and somehow empty. I've watched it already 3 times for 2 months and I don't think I will be over it anytime soon. It grows on you every time you watch it. If you don't like cheesy, cringy dramas this one breaks all the stereotypes about Kdramas.

Jill Silveira Apr 26 2023 9:38 pm It was interesting to see America portrayed in this film. Everything in Korean would be so foreign to us. We wouldn’t know if they got something right or wrong with their production values. But as an American watching the Spanish-American war, I had to smile watching the flags blowing in the wind. They should’ve had 45 stars on them, but somebody must’ve went online and just bought American flags because all of the American flags had 50 stars on them. Great production values though. Very stylish it’s an enjoyable TV show.

Elvera Mar 26 2023 10:03 am I have watched this over the past 3 years several times. I have watched Korean movies, dramas, dramadies, etc; and this lands in my top five favorites of all time. Every time I watch an episode here and there I find something new. I liken it to a fine piece of music that you want to listen to again and again. The most magnificent soundtrack which I now own and the location, beautiful scenery. No matter how many Korean Productions that I've watched I'm always amazed at the attention to detail. Thank you for giving me great entertainment.

KST Mar 17 2023 12:22 pm I just finished watching this series. Its really amazing. Actually I think It will be better that I watch this series later because I had to skip some sscenes in episodes because I do not have enough time. Im regret of doing it now because this drama is a masterpiece and I should have watched it more patiently. Anyhow Kim tae ri's acting was really amazing.Almost all the cast was superb. Lee byung hun's acting as captain Choi Eugene was really impressive. I love to the acting of Yoo yoon seok. He was ny favorite in this drama. I really recommend this series to all kdrama lovers but I have to say that don't watch this drama if you have do not have enough time. Otherwise this will be a bit boring for you ...but if you are watching this series very patiently you can enjoy this series well!!!

Aera-shi Mar 05 2023 7:00 am Just finished watching this series and I'm like, how can I ever move on from this masterpiece? The characters, plot, cinematography and OSTs were just perfect. For me, this was the best saeguk drama that SoKor ever produced. The last 3 episodes were heartbreaking yet very beautiful. What a work of art ?❤️

Rhoda Nov 08 2022 11:32 pm I don't know if I have more tears to cry out as this movie drained me.... kudos to the writer and cast crew... I love everything about the movie.from actors to video quality....

Fan of Kim Tae Ri Oct 19 2022 7:04 am I found this drama because I want to move on with Twenty Five Twenty One.. lol!

The actors, dialogue, this historical scenes captured my heart..However, another heartbreaking ending of Go-Aeshin and Eugene Choi :(

By the way, i love the role of Byun Yo-Han, annyeong Oppa :) i will find and wait for your next acting (dramas)..

Ray Pags Sep 24 2022 11:40 pm Should have watched a few different kdrama shows before watching Mr. Sunshine. I can’t get over this series. Great scenes, acting, dialogue etc… I love the scene with Eugene and Ae-Shin..so electrifying. Also like the scene when Ae-Shin found the true meaning of love…Wut!!..WUT!!!!

SJ Aug 31 2022 10:11 pm This is my first comment here. I watched this epic masterpiece a few months ago and can't stop thinking about it. It is a fantastic work of art with an incredible story, stunning production values, top-notch acting, OST, and poetic dialogue. It reminds me of Jane Austen's movies with slow pacing and old-fashioned romance. Indeed a work of art.

leetchi Aug 26 2022 6:53 am What immediately stands out is the visually stunning photography: scenery, costume, staging, and stunning aesthetics. The story is rich and compelling, using the events of the time to weave the story. Charismatic characters of great strength, a real tragic epic on a painful moment in the history of Korea.

Rai Jun 27 2022 9:42 am It's been 5 years already but I still can't move on with this masterpiece...

randee Jun 22 2022 8:26 am Watched this in 2022 and no regrets

Andrea Jun 02 2022 3:58 am I'm trying to find something to watch on Netflix, but ended up watching this again. My fave drama. I wonder when will I ever get to moved on from this drama.

Tilda May 06 2022 2:32 pm I cried my eyes out during the last 3 eps. This drama is exellent in everything aspect and I love as much as the storyline hurts!!! The actors where on point and the historical events too. Never have I cried so much while waching a kdrama. Would recommendations 10/10

Kristi Mar 29 2022 4:52 am Sorry, but for me it was a huge disappointment. Maybe because of all the great comments below but I was bored with the whole story. I admit that the cinematography itself looked great and the actors played their roles very well. My problem was with the story itself. It was dragged along for too long. Not to mention the scenes where they only looked deeply into each others' eyes which happened in every episode for about 3-4 minutes. I didn't find these romantic or appealing in any way. For me it was way too much. There were too many episodes too, I am sure (since hardly anything happened in the episodes) that it could have been at least 10 episodes shorter. Then maybe it would have been better.

Fareyn Mar 16 2022 11:40 am Just finished watching for the second time and i must say this is a Masterpiece. There’s nothing lacking in this drama. The cinematography, the OST, storyline, acting, casts chemi, everything was a top tier.

My first time writing review because i feel the need to tell people how good this drama is. I have watched hundreds of k-drama for past 12 years and nothing could beat this. Of course, war story is not everyone’s cup of tea (main reason I didn’t watch it when it was released in 2018) but boy whoever directed this proved that even war story can be good.

No much skinship , but each scene of them together makes you smiling. Cried my eyes out on the last episode even though I’m watching it for second time.

Good job to the whole team. Please make more stories like this.

HannaH Mar 14 2022 5:32 pm I'm not a fun of historical drama so I really have no plan of watching this one. Until recently, I saw a clip that piqued my interest. Got hooked after watching the 1st episode. Great chemistry even without skinship/lip-lockin. No bickering among the main and support characters, few annoying antagonist. The ending is tragic so the writer in me created a different scenario how the story ends. My ending goes like this.. Eugene tells the Japanese soldiers to drop their gun and jump off the train. The soldiers left in wilderness and the righteous armies reached their destination unharmed. ?

Chae Mar 09 2022 11:51 am Just finished it. What i can say it's really superb. I didnt watch mr sunshine before because it has many episodes. But now i regretted. Im sooo hook right now. I cant even sleep after so much crying. It's so excellent acting, cinematography and characters. Love all the characters. Its no toxic characters besides the traitors. Never watched kdrama that main characters fully support each other eventho they have story behind them that they can backstabbing each other. Big applause to mr sunshine!

MA-RI Feb 24 2022 3:17 am superb masterpiece, very well done, the best for the expensive budget

Harris Feb 16 2022 8:19 am Not recommended for fans romance drama.. 9/10

Saraz Feb 02 2022 2:26 pm This drama will be my number one forever I have watched it 5 times and still can't stop myself from thinking about the story The sacrifices and love between every characters. Worth Watching For Many Times just don't give up on first episode, you will notice after watching second and third episodes.

Issabella Feb 01 2022 12:25 pm Watched it twice and still my favorite kdrama this far. Everything is so perfect. The casts, acting, storyline, costumes, cinematographers, and soundtracks are masterpiece. This drama made me devastated but I dont mind. I still want to rewatch it for the 3rd time.

I bought some cover ost scores so that I can play it with my piano. And I even bought custom designed wedding ring so it can be looked like Lady Ae-Shin’s. I am literally obsessed with this drama.

UnpopularOpinion Jan 31 2022 1:40 pm I apologize to anyone coming to this page looking for a bad review on this drama because there ain’t gonna be one. Mr sunshine just sets a crazy high standard for kdrama for me. Hands down my no 1 fave show ever and for years to come.

Magdalena2 Jan 08 2022 4:19 pm A MASTERPIECE!!! An insane artwork, great storyline, the OST so beautiful, great and top acting. The best KDrama i have ever seen, so perfect! Left me quite emotional. A huge fan from Belgium ??

Nop Dec 24 2021 1:14 am I just finished watching and my eyes are bawling lmao. I could say that it is a masterpiece. KES and the directors really did a great job here and by far, their best drama they produced. Well written plot and dialogues, excellent cinematography, acting, costumes, and detailed symbolisms. This drama showed us more than anyone else what love is in its purest and deepest form. I don't think they could create another drama like this. Highly recommended!!!

Ana Nov 21 2021 1:15 am To be honest the first 15 episodes I skipped a lot and almost even dropped the show. But ep 16-end was a whole different story. I sobbed and would give those episodes 10/10. I wish it was somehow shortened so that the entire show was as good as those last episodes. I would rewatch just those last episodes again

Shairli Nov 20 2021 8:24 pm Im not a fan of LBH but after watching this I realised why he is a top notch actor. His acting was effortless esp when delivering his dialogue and expressing his love. I would say the title should be MS Sunshine due to the ending. It should be better esp for Eugene Choi. All casts were good. Cried so much during the last scene between Hino & Dong Mae, may due to the dialogues too. Love & sympathy for her character. Last but not least, magnificent cinematography-DOP work.

Nell Nov 12 2021 10:18 am This is one of the best series I have seen, ever. It was my first experience of Korean drama and now I'm hooked. Visually, it is stunning - kudos to the cinematographer. The acting is superb. Sometimes it is like a ballet. Yes, it can be slow, but I was never bored. On the contrary, I hung on every moment. And of course, at the end, I cried like a baby. This gem is not to be missed.

Jan F Cook Nov 10 2021 4:48 pm I absolutely loved Mr Sunshine and couldn’t stop watching it. Superb acting, I loved you all. The bits of humour from some and the romance between Eugene and “my lady” was heart wrenching. Thank you to all of you. I am buying the music to the drama. “Green sleeves” reminds me of my childhood in Australia. Our pink ice cream truck played that toon. We all knew “Mr Whippy” and ran to the street to buy our ice creams. I hope to watch more fantastic epics such as Mr Sunshine.

GunGlorySadending Nov 09 2021 8:35 am Ive been watching kdrama spontaniously since year 2003. I started with the endlesslove, full house and hundreds more. But this Mr. Sunshine outshined all the best drama I thought the best already. So much love for this. I hope there will be more kdrama as good as this.

Fadhila Nov 08 2021 9:27 am this drama is beautiful indeed. but I totally lost interest during episode 11-14 that I actually skip the whole episode of 13 and 14 because it was so slow......, continue on episode of 15 and can still know the whole story like, seriously?? the later episodes was excellent tho.

Me you Nov 07 2021 11:11 am I thought Scarlet Heart already make me cry like hell but Mr. Sunshine beat it ? congrats to myself

Shay Nov 06 2021 12:21 am Ayo, why is the rating for this drama low? A rating of 88? This is better than most other silly romance kdramas with a score of 90. Pshht. Mr. Sunshine deserves 95 score

Daisy Nov 02 2021 8:49 am Absolutely one of the best drama. The cinematography was outstanding and so beautiful. The story, the cast, the costumes… everything was perfect. Simply can say a Masterpiece!

nezuko Oct 25 2021 11:15 pm its sooo emotionally draining that i cant bring myself to watch it again even after 3 years

Ellie Oct 03 2021 7:51 am A masterpiece. So good, so well made, acted, directed, historically accurate and fascinating, learnt a lot. The 2 leads mesmerising. Ending so sad, but it sort of had to happen but broke your heart. Perfect direction, writing and raises the bar for Korean historical dramas. Who could ever go past this? I must add it to my list of favourites. CLOY, It’s Okay to not be OK, Sky Castle, Private Lives. Lee Byung Hun excellent and discovered Kim Tai ri but a huge cast and many good and famous seniors. Wonderful perfect clap clap ?

None here Oct 02 2021 8:44 am I put off watching this because I heard that it was "sad" - this drama is one of the most well done shows I have ever watched, the character development and artistry are truly superb. Superb! Please consider spending 24+ hours to educate yourself (loosely based on historical fact) as well as to be deeply enveloped in cinematic artistry. I am 100% sure that every single crew member and every single person who worked on this show are true artists who know exactly what they are doing, so much better than Hollywood. This drama sets the bar for entertainment at almost unobtainable levels. Wow. Also, this drama is not just sad, it is Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking, especially since so much of it is true with regards to Korea's liberty from Japan and other countries. This show is for patriots, and being one myself and given the sad state of the world and all the health fascism, this show truly hits home and shows us patriots what we must sacrifice to once again obtain Freedom from tyranny. The show goes into economics and these principles are exactly what modern day America is facing now with our fiscally incompetent leadership in the WH. We know that history repeats itself when it is not studied and learned from. Watch this show before it is banned in the US!!! With love, liberty and Justice for all.

Conz Sep 27 2021 4:32 am This is, by far, my favourite kdrama! I have watched it 3 times and will continue to watch it over and over again! Discovered Kim Tae-ri through Mr Sunshine and really am so impressed by her superb acting skills! She is so versatile in her role, so charming, and simply amazing, the BEST Korean actress I’ve ever come across! The rest of the cast are also fantastic! Love the funny exchanges amongst Eugene Choi, Gu Dong-Mei and Kim Hui-Seong and their eventual camaraderie. Love how chill and Hina Kino remains throughout the story. Love how sentimental and sweet Hui Seong is through and through. Love how Yoo Yeon-Seok is able to bring out the agonising emotions experienced by the character! Love the cinematography, especially the horse-riding scene at the beach and the sparring scene between the two oh-so-cool ladies! Love all the OSTs in the drama! Each piece of song tells a story and some of them make me cry as I listen to them! This drama made me laugh and cry! Everything about this drama is spectacular! There’s only one thing I don’t like - the ending. It’s too tragic and I feel that Eugene’s and Hui-Seong’s deaths are unnecessary.

Lynne Sep 23 2021 8:45 pm I stumbled on this show on Netflix. I was enthralled from the beginning with the story, the acting, the costumes, photography, the set design, scenery, everything.

It is like nothing I have ever seen before. It completely engaged me night after night. The characters became real to me and evoked every emotion. I felt sorrow when it ended.

What a masterpiece. Thank you to all who were involved. Such incredible talent. I will always remember every person and detail.

Flos Sep 07 2021 7:40 pm One of the amazing drama that I've watched, it is on my top 5 list. The acting of the cast, the action scene, the plot, the story, the cinematography, everything is superb. The last 2 episodes especially the scene where they fight with Japan is the most memorable. The ending was tragic, but I love it since it is feel realistic. Hoping Kim Eun Sook comeback drama next year will be as good as this drama. TKEM was great but can't stand against Mr. Sunshine ofc.

sad Aug 29 2021 8:56 am My favourite drama of all time. Nothing can beat this masterpiece!

Hannah Aug 17 2021 2:32 pm I don't think I've cried in any Kdrama the way I cried in this drama, the last three or four episodes were so deep that it made me fall deeper in love with Korea and her history, I love all the main and supporting actors, it definitely has a place in my heart, I love how the casts were able to portray every emotions. I don't think I can move on from this drama????? My respect for Korea for not giving up. What about the love story among the main actors???? I don't even want to think about it, so pure and unconditional, surely one of the best drama ♥️♥️♥️♥️

April Jul 29 2021 3:33 pm Definitely took a spot on my top 5 best korean historical drama. Superb cast!!

Nene Jul 19 2021 9:06 pm I couldn’t stop crying and feeling so emotional in the last three Episodes of this Epic Korean Drama. I wonder how much of these really happened. The Best Acting Drama I’ve ever seen. The Actors were all excellent and played their Significant Roles with Pride, they owned it, no doubt. The best yet I’ve watched. I applaud you all.

Aggy Maddock Jul 17 2021 10:46 pm Second time around. Spectacular drama. I learned and enjoyed a bit of Korean history. Excellent acting all around. Special mention - Lee Byung-hun. He was so cool. Kim Tae-ri was equally good. And the Hotel Owner was excellent. Special mention - Yoo Yeon-seek, you are Amasing, superb Acting. Altogether - Fantastic Actors - Marvellous Cast. Most enjoyable drama. Congratulation to the entire Cast. Thank You.

Eugenie Jul 16 2021 11:48 am I'm not a fan of Kim Eun Sook's drama. But this is really masterpiece.

Anis Jul 14 2021 6:26 am A work of art, the best from Kim Eun Sook, a masterpiece. One year passed since i watched this drama, still linger in my heart..

wahida Jul 11 2021 8:16 am This is one of the best best best Korean dramas I have watched after Reply series. Eugene Choi's love for Ae Shin is sooo pure and unconditional. The best thing about this drama is how the main characters develop and grow into finding their purpose. As well as the cinematography!!! It's unbelievable. Legit cried in every single episode!!!! Highly recommend to those who are into tragic romance, war, historic and action

Audrey Jul 03 2021 8:40 pm Love this drama so much

violette Jul 01 2021 4:53 am i can't move on... eugene and ae shin's love story is so beautiful and tragic at the same time. so far, this is best drama i've ever watched. everything is perfect, truly a masterpiece. love lee byung hun

Andrea Jun 30 2021 8:43 pm How can I ever move on? Been watching this..alternately with Reply 1988. How can I ever move on?

Paul Vincent Jun 30 2021 4:02 am This is the best historical drama j've ever watched. I learned many things about war. I'm addicted to kim tae ri, but all of her dramas are movies. I want more series to her in the future

Janisa Jun 23 2021 4:17 am This is one of the best drama ever i highly recomended this master piece its all amazing I fall inlove on all lead actors spicialy Kim taeri this is her debut in drama but she act verry well not to mention she so pretty looking forward to her next drama

Gijun Jun 13 2021 10:04 pm I wonder why the low rating on episode 17...

KangSolC Jun 13 2021 10:02 pm This drama's got so many good characters. In just the first episode, I barely remember in what dramas and movies I have watched the actors. I swear, after watching this, I'll surely become extremely picky of what I'll watch.

sun Jun 13 2021 11:47 am more than 1 year since I started watching this and it still hurt me the same up until today… I keep coming here and very glad that many decided to watch this masterpiece. definitely a brilliant drama in the last century.

KangSolC Jun 12 2021 8:51 pm damn this is my first time seeing high ratings like this, I just finished Law School and My Mister and now I don't have any dramas to watch and I've seen this one and I just see good reviews, no reason to not watch it. Imma go back to drop my review too someday!

Chris May 29 2021 3:51 pm A work of art. Camera work , lighting, poetry in movement and speach. A fabulous cast and breathtaking performance from all lead actors. l was not surprised to read the name of the writer Kim Eun Sook and the director Lee Eung Bok . They worked together on The lonely God = The Goblin and I could find back their signature in the camera work.lighting,poetry and plot. Those two create art on tv.

Rina May 27 2021 10:37 am I don't know what to say. I just finished this masterpiece and now I feel empty. I was ignoring this drama because this is too long. But it was worth to spend time in watching. I will highly recommend this to all. First of all, the story is brilliant, acting was on point. You will fell in love with every character portrayed here, except for those Japanese people and the joseon traitor Second its multilingual. Korean, Japanese, English, French all these languages are here. Third you will laugh with the characters, you will cry with the characters. You can feel the pain of them. Last 4 episodes are hard to watch. Forth this is the only drama where you will get not only 2nd lead syndrome but also 3rd lead syndrome. The fact is the main male leads love the female lead but they never fought with each other for her. They respected her and protected her with all the possible ways they could. Again I will highly recommend this drama to all. Please go watch.

Live today May 26 2021 6:46 pm Fantastic, epic, what a masterpiece ...all the actors played their part very well Well done...kudos to the writer and crew members Anyway I don't know how Korean awards are, but this drama should have swept almost all the awards categories Am disappointed

MiniMe1290 May 26 2021 5:20 am I regret watching this drama. After watching this drama, all of the kdramas so far, nothing can preceed this masterpiece. Almost all of the kdramas i watch turn average in my eyes. My eyes always swollen every time i watch this masterpiece. And for me there is none of many dramas in the future by Writer Kim Eun Sook can surpass,even The King Eternal Monarch.

Swanson May 20 2021 12:55 pm Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the original trailer????

Carla May 18 2021 6:23 pm brilliant! a masterpiece! definitely worth watching! I'm still crying.....

lee byung hoon's youngest fan May 18 2021 5:54 am [guns, glory, sad endings] the overall feels of this drama lies between glory and sad endings. it is not just a tv show but a work of art, definitely a must-watch

Jeannette May 03 2021 8:32 pm I never thought that one day, I will find a Korean Drama that will make me witness the most poignant and heartrending bloodbath and sacrifices in Kdrama history. After watching Scarlet Heart, I already told myself that it was the only historical drama that will break my heart into pieces until I watched Mr. Sunshine. This show broke the record and served the most heart wrecking moments in saguek history. A lot of deaths happened that really blew my mind. It sent me to a whirlwind of huge emotions. It had me deep in my feelings. The strongest suit of Mr. Sunshine is it groundbreaking line up of calibre and impeccable actors! This show is one in a really few Kdramas that has perfect cast. The main leads did a tremendous job in their performances and the supporting cast also did grounded and life - like portrayals. They are spotless extraordinary. Each of them gave the audience an unforgettable experience. A god - tier quality that set the bar too high! It is armed with insanely enigmatic plot, brilliant work of writing, staggering acting prowess, excellent and outstanding production, extremely heart stopping twists, and strong significant message - it tackled unfair treatment to the oppressed people, the biased criticism among women, and of course the patriotism. It showed us that everyone, regardless of gender, age, and life status, we could be heroes. The Righteous Army taught us that it's fine to lack with weapons as long as your heart is filled with determination to fight for your country's freedom. A Rip - Roaring, Electrifying And Exceptional Drama Series Worthy Of Praises.

GunGlorySadending Apr 26 2021 10:09 am Stunning drama!

GunGlorySadending Apr 17 2021 11:24 am Healing drama for lonely heart

Ari Apr 17 2021 4:13 am Kim Eun-sook's best work.

Goneglorysadending Apr 16 2021 10:57 am I miss you...

Kim Na Na Mar 24 2021 12:08 pm It's worth watching. The scenery and the little funny parts made it refreshing. But 24 episodes were too much. Could have wrapped the stories in 12-16 episodes. The last 4 episodes were the best. The middle part was a little bit dragging, wanted to stop watching, but I'm glad I watched it through the end. The love stories between the cast also beautiful and everyone had their own pain and storyline.

Camille Best Mar 14 2021 7:22 pm I so loved this drama that I purchased it on dvd so I could watch it it over and over. I would recommend Mr. Sunshine to anyone

bucin aeshin Mar 07 2021 1:36 am I don't recommend this for newbie hahahaha. Since once you're introduced to this as your first drama, your standard become too high...

Guiltypleasure Mar 03 2021 7:06 am All casts really extraordinary actors & actress !!! The script SUPERB & all character very strong! Friendship between those 3 men & 2 women so cool. Good Job for all the crew!!

Eneri Feb 22 2021 9:42 am I guess i have to resort to cuss words in describing this drama..no other drama has made cry a river as this one..the kind of tears and sorrow that goes deep within and came bursting out, i feel like my heart is crushed everytime i cry..even the poignant scenes like a glance, the mountain, the seas can carry out a tear out of ur eye..it stirs and wakens up patriotism in one's country (Korean or not). The time in Korea's history is really a turning point in this drama..i hope i get to see something like this too in a Filipino teledrama..our country is rich in history too, we've been under 3 colonial powers..one of the lines in the story still holds true til today -- the destruction of one's own country is solely not the conqueror's own doing, rather, the people itself who do nothing to fight for it.

leah Feb 21 2021 5:14 pm I could relate to Kim Hui-seong the most.. “I love beautiful, yet useless things. The moon, the stars, flowers, lakes, jokes. Things like that. So I do nothing” - Kim Huiseong Since you were little, you have so much responsibility coming from the family and at the same time you feel like you owe something to your surrounding because you are lacking so much in life and people think you’re just useless. So you tend to enjoy the “useless things” because even the slightest and simplest things can make you happy. Guess this is how people with MDD tryna survive everyday. But KHS has his reason in this drama, such a noble act.

I cried so hard towards the end, phenomenal drama indeed! I thought Scarlet Heart was most tragic but this one is beyond imagination and prediction. This is my third time rewatching and no drama can beat this one, just yet. Up until today, I still listen to their OST and BGM. Kinda hoping to see YYS and KTR in one drama again.

SageGrace Feb 20 2021 7:26 pm Amazing cast. Stellar performances. A Remarkable, unforgettable, piece of work. Epic ~ Profound ... Phenomenal

Ann Feb 19 2021 10:30 am The last 20mins were really tragic. I cried a lot the last 20mins. I reallt enjoyed my time watching Mr Sunshine. Feel heavy to watch. At first. But finally watched it during my free time in 2021. A bit late but i glad still watch this great drama. Worth my time watching this masterpiece. I can feel the love between Yujin and Aeshin despite their age gap. Their chemistry beyond my expectations. Love it so much! Definitely A+ drama!

Kdrama fans Feb 17 2021 7:56 pm I fallin with Kim Taeri's Voice. This drama has anything we need on kdrama. Romance, action and comedy. This drama is masterpiece. So recommend for a newbie kdrama fans.

Beth Oliver Feb 14 2021 12:35 pm My first introduction to the Korean film /tv industry Certainly not my last!

Every detail sweeping vistas Superb character development

Acting beyond my expectation

So refreshing after years of American boredom

Thank you I'll be a fan now

Samantha Feb 12 2021 11:47 am a masterpiece. the actors are all really good. the plot is interesting. too bad there are many people who refuse to watch this because it's a historical drama and they tend to think it's "too heavy". really woth to watch!

Stefania Jan 28 2021 10:21 am It has never ever happened to me to be so interested in watching a kdarma, firstly based on the Original Soundtracks which are just masterpieces. And then things got better and better: the over all production quality, the actors, the storyline... just wow. 100% recommend.

Mirfaa Jan 25 2021 12:49 pm This drama is truly a Masterpiece.

Like everyone else, i was hesitate to watch this drama. Because i am not a big fan of historical kdrama. But guys, trust me, this is nothing like a typical historical drama you’ve ever watched before.

My heart aches during the last episode. It hits me the most when everyone died. When Eugene Choi died, Dong Mae died, Hui Sang died and other comrades died. It hurts me considering the fact they are so close together. It’s really really heart wrenching. I am not joking. Nonetheless, everyone is a hero in their own way.

To those who havent watch this drama, please Just Start and watch this drama. You’re gonna love it.

Jechie Jan 24 2021 4:54 pm I am not alone who just binge watch this on 2021 huhsuhsuhu. Im really going to miss this drama so much ?‍♀️

Gil Jan 23 2021 5:18 pm This is one of the best dramas I have ever watched. The storyline is so bittersweet and I honestly cried so much watching this. Everyone did so well in their roles especially Kim Taeri when she cried so did I. She is an amazing actress, can't wait to see more of her work.

Erica Jan 16 2021 1:06 am This is a superb historical drama. The five main leads all acted excellently. The historical drama and the romance were both perfect, also the camera angles, the music, the suspense, the direction and the tragic ending. I don’t only want to commend the five young leads, especially Lee. Gun Hun, some of the older support parts were outstanding, the loyal servants, the Righteous Army and some of the villainous Japanese and the American Officer. All so well portrayed and acted. I don’t usually watch history dramas but this one is exceptional. I realised the end would have to be tragic but it still broke my heart.

My only complaint is that as an English speaker, unable to read or understand Japanese, or know their costumes, I sometimes got confused who was Korean and who was Japanese. I understand Hai in Japanese and Komsamida in Korean, I know some Korean words, so this helped. I got to know the uniforms but still got a bit confused. However, this is my only con, so don’t worry, I rate this his drama up there at the top. Thanks ?❤️

Harin Jan 14 2021 6:03 pm This is one of the best kdrama I watched so far. Actors and actresses are good and d portrayed their part wonderfully. This series is worth to watch ?

Maya Jan 14 2021 8:20 am I hate myself for ignoring this kdrama before. I just finished it 4 days ago. And until now, I cry everytime I remember scenes and while listening to the OST. Great way to start 2021. Hahahaha. I will be needing a month or two of healing before I could start watching a new series.

Kudos to all casts, crew, production. Yall gave us an amazing korean drama to remember, cherish, love, and cry for! Thank you!!

Nana Jan 13 2021 12:45 pm I just finished this drama and i want to say for you who haven't watch it, it's seriously worth to watch. The actors really did a good job. The romance really sweet even though there is no kiss scene we can feel the love.

Seriously i strongly recommended it. It was 24 episode but it was not enough

kdrama lover Jan 04 2021 12:26 pm The actors did an excellent job portraying their roles. Each episode had me hooked. This was a beautiful drama and I highly recommend it to those who haven’t watch it yet.

Fay Dec 29 2020 3:14 am A few weeks ago I finished Mr. Sunshine, and I thought I ought to say some things. I had seen it multiple times on my netflix recommendations but I just ignored it and I finally decided to watch it. I finished it in two weeks despite how much I had to study. It was amazing. One of the best series I've seen and I loved everything. !!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! At first I thought they shouldn't have died but after a while I realised each one of them died doing what they wanted. I really think everyone should watch this series, you won't regret it!!!

lina Dec 20 2020 5:58 pm this was the best drama i have ever watched. i watched it a while back but i’m here again to write a review. it will always be my number 1 drama. i am not even kidding.

Anne Dec 16 2020 8:05 pm This was my first historical drama ever bc I was not into the genre before. Because of it, I became more open to watching more.

I wish those who are not used to this genre to try this even though it's more confusing and heavy. Best k-drama ever.

Misay Nov 29 2020 8:15 pm Just started watching this and on ep. 4 now, tbh I had a hard time on the first two eps, so many characters and I got confused in the middle but I managed it and find it enjoyable. Still a long way to go though

see you again Nov 29 2020 11:57 am Just finished watching it. The Best Kdrama I Ever Watched!!! i watched more than 100 kdramas and this one is the best. No one can topped this masterpiece. The setting, storyline, actors, actresses and also The OST Of This Drama Is Soooooo Good. That ending made me cry a lot!

Maggie Queen Nov 28 2020 5:51 pm Excellent show. Informative about history. Great acting

ktr Nov 27 2020 4:50 am Watch it for the 3rd time today, crying like hell;(( Still remain the best Kdrama of all time. Nothing can beat this masterpiece!

Jane Nov 23 2020 2:35 am A Masterpiece.. That's it...

Ae Shin Nov 21 2020 3:14 am 2 years now and still haven't moved on from this drama. Everything is just perfect about this drama.

Greg from Sydney Nov 16 2020 6:21 am The best drama I have ever seen. The show inspired me to learn about Korean history. And Korean Drama /TV What stood out incredibly for me was the acting and expressions of the two main characters. Like many other men I never cry over TV shows, particularly fictional stories but Kim Tae Ri is the most beautiful women I have ever seen and her smile reflects a truly exceptional soul. No one can fake that. Her casting was brilliant and I lived her emotions every step of the way. I had seen Lee Byung Hun in Iris previously and thought he was outstanding in that but his chemistry and role playing helped make it all so real and believable. Thank you to everyone involved. So happy I found it on Netflix ❤️

Craig Nov 11 2020 3:31 pm This was absolutely riveting. I'm an American who didn't know much of the history and it inspired to read more about this period. I can honestly say--my wife will back this up--I pretty much cried through the entire final two episodes.

Andie Nov 04 2020 9:58 pm Can’t get over the fact that this drama is extremely brilliant! From start to end I was engaged with all the characters, cinematography and scriptwriting.The OST was hauntingly beautiful, I throughly enjoyed every song written for this drama. This drama will be with me for a long time.

Andie Nov 04 2020 9:29 pm Engaging drama! One that can be watched over and over Perfect scriptwriting,cinematography and casting

GunGlorySadEnding Oct 19 2020 10:05 am Watching it again today! Still remain the greatest Korean drama of all time! A beautiful story told, wonderful soundtracks and breathtaking cinematography. What more could you ask for? Mr Sunshine is a masterpiece in every aspect!

Tiago Oct 19 2020 5:45 am What else can I add that wasn't said before?

This is a Masterpiece for sure.

One that is unforgettable. A cruel and beautiful story. It tells a story of a time where a country was losing to the tyranny of the Imperial Japan. The story of patriots who fought for a country they believe was worthy. The main characters do leave you crying many times and your heart aches for them. I Highly recommend everyone to watch this series.

Mr Nobody Oct 09 2020 6:09 am Best Series. I am now watching this in Netflix for 2 days now. Im on Episode 23..October 9, 2020..

Cho Sep 25 2020 2:54 pm Please watch it you won't regret it.

Yurihan Sep 20 2020 2:10 am This is a unique kdrama i second thought if i want to watch this because this is not mytyoe of genra kdrama but when i stary to watch the eposode 1 i cant stop it beacause every episode is so exiting and i really enjoy watching this drama i really like the character of of Kim Tae ri she is a good actress and i fall inlove with her... Lee byung hun and kim taeri has a chemistry i love them both but i like Dong mi also

Jamilia Montefalco Sep 17 2020 7:12 pm SPOILERS!!! .... The long journey is now over I never thought it would take me too much time to complete this drama. Each and every episode gave me chills. It really made me think of the past before each and every country gain its sovereighnty. Where are we now if its not because they fight for it and ended up dying for their own homeland. I never thought it needed this much courage. This drama has brought me nothing but a heart that yells for its country. That is something more valualble than having own love. How characters ended each of their lives with a remarkable death with nothing but gratefullnes and braveness. I never really thought I would be much affected by them. I thought I could just go on my sleep after finishing it at 1 am but i am wrong it wakes me up until I cannot even think of sleep im about to lose. Go Ae Sin, you cruel woman. Why did u have to hold gun instead of just staying in your palanquin. Nope you are not just spoiled brat who enjoys luxury, you are someone that is different from any other nobleman you gave up everything to fight and weild a gun. You got me at ur courage and bravery. I love you girl. Ano masaket bang mamatayan ng Eugene?? Ahw but i know their live is not wasted. Make sure to live well.

Eugene Choi, you reckless man. How could u gave up your life for her? Is she worth it of that? Why am i even questioning it when i know for the fact that she is. That ur love for her is great and too much and wouldnt care for anything just to protect her. Your love for her is something is what i adore and wish to have. You live ur life with a vain hope u dont want to meddle to joseons faith but bc ur woman chose to u ended up taking her path too. I wanted to say much more things but i jjst couldnt compose anymore. You are great and noble one. Thank you.

Go Dong Mae you have live ur life with full of darkness and sorrow. It is understandable u turn out to be someone who just kill someone with its sword but the goodness left in your heart is something that couldnt be ignore.

A. A. Ron Sep 12 2020 2:03 am This is one of the best dramas ever how did it not win any more awards .... like seriously The way it portrayed love with out the kissing was amazing also

Kdrama fans Sep 08 2020 7:11 pm I rewatch this drama for along time.. and i this is the masterpiece one.. its just look like a documenter not drama.. i enjoy this for 2 years?

??? Sep 07 2020 5:30 am this is by far the best kdrama i have ever watched. before the last episodes i realized that this drama is so good, but after the last episodes i was absolutely speechless. the last episodes were so intense and well-written. the cinematography, ost, acting matches up perfectly with the amazing storyline. and let's not forget about the impactful ending. despite the very limited skinship, it is one of the most beautiful love stories.

SPOILERS !!! i think the ending has such a beautiful meaning as ae-shin went through so many things yet is still fighting. she lost her parents, the people who took care of her, her husband, her friends, her comrades... basically everything that she had. so basically the message is to hope for better days.

GG Aug 23 2020 9:47 am Fourth time watching it. Still think it’s the best KDrama ever. I won’t do any spoilers but laughed and cried a lot. Still crying. Will probably watch many more times. I’m an American but I would be so proud to be a Korean after seeing this drama. “ Daehan Minguk Manse” !

aego Aug 22 2020 5:50 am i finished watch this drama today... and i cried out loud like i was the one in Go Ae Shin's place, ngl this drama really make me feel all the pain that these characters brought. which is kudos to all of them because their acting are amazing, powerful, and perfect. in another word we call this Masterpiece. you will feel annoyed, funny sometimes, sad, angst, shocked, wanna kill everyone, i promise you this is how you will feel. i i was hesitated since last year to watch this drama and i just decided to watch t 4 days ago and im regretting for not started it earlier. so if you hv not watch this drama, please watch. Don't Hesitate, Don't. Please Don't. Just Give It A Try. you will get confused and feel slow at the beginning but i promise you, it worth every single minutes you spend on it. what's the point of being a kdrama lovers if you hv not watch this drama? you may seem it like a serious drama but not at all, but if you expect that fairytale ending which is everyone being happy in the end, then you can watch other dramas, bcs this drama is not that typical drama you had watch. romcom? no. rom tragic? yes. but even the ending made you sad, atleast it feel satisfied with the ending because i think that's the best for everyone since this story about before Joseon become an independent country right? so the ending is making me satisfied. Give It A Try. Jaebal. You Won't Regret It

Rain Aug 17 2020 7:44 pm Lee Byung Hun really out there

Anne Aug 16 2020 12:14 am Mr. Sunshine is that good, you won't even see much comments here that don't compliment every aspect of this drama.

This drama covers a lot of genres so it's very versatile but well-portrayed because all of it was done smoothly with no single out-of-place dialogue. The pacing was good as well especially for a drama with 24 episodes. It's hard to pull off but they really exceeded my expectations. This is why I had high expectations from the writer for tkem.

Mr. Sunshine is like a romance drama despite it not being your typical expressive drama. I think this will be the most romantic drama I've ever watched despite the very limited skinship. It didn't matter because you felt their love regardless.

And do remember that this is still a drama set in an era at war. That'll make it hurt less, I guess.

(OSTs and scores are beautiful as well)

Bonnie Jul 31 2020 2:16 pm Lee Byun Hun is Fantastic!

Nicoleta M Jul 29 2020 7:57 am Art.

kim namjoon Jul 24 2020 7:59 am the cast, dialogue, story line, cgi, and cinematography is incredible. everything in this drama is epic. this is best drama i've ever watched.

Feraldo Jul 21 2020 10:52 pm Masterpiece. best drama ever, I love all the cast, they re so great. lee byung hun and kim tae ri chemistry is no joke.

Ranee Ramaswamy Jul 19 2020 1:35 pm Love love love this show. Incredibly filmed, terrific acting, classical, contemporary and glorious.

chan Jul 18 2020 1:28 am I highly recommend this drama. After CLOY, this one is the one. The acting is superb, cinema, music, dialogue, casting, and just everything. I didn't think a drama could match up to CLOY, but this one, man I'm going to be in withdrawal for days. Mind you I'm not even the emotional type. The comedy pops up in the most unexpected moments too. They pulled off this drama with 1 hr eps for 24 eps and not a single episode was boring.

- I also urge you all to look into the actual history of Joeseon & not just believe what is shown in the drama. It's a mix of fact & fiction which is one of the reasons why so many are upset with the historical protrayal. I'm crying my eyes out. oh man. Bring tissues with you for the ending eps. TT~TT!!!!!

ryeonggyu Jul 17 2020 2:18 pm the best drama I've ever watched. I fell in love with Lee Byung Hun. he is very charismatic.

Shirleen Jul 17 2020 1:09 pm My interpretation of Mr.Sunshine is something that brings hope to life...which can make you feel the flame burnt inside... make you try your best again today because of the hope for better tomorrow Watching this drama again become a reminder to me, to be someone like Mr.Sunshine... there are no more war nowadays, but still a lot of enemy around, including the enemy within myself. Be healthy and be strong, always!!!

Shirley Jul 16 2020 3:57 am I just rewatch this after 2 years.... Still so good. The beautiful cinematography, story, humour, fantastic cast.... Everything is still so great. My favourite kdrama of all times!

nini Jul 16 2020 1:54 am This drama is beyond words. The actors, the story, the cinematography and every scene was beyond words. No other drama can compete with this masterpiece. but i warn people with soft heart to think before they watch it, because it may seems funny and romantic at start but this is such a cruel drama that will make you cry for days

M Jul 13 2020 11:31 pm Probably one of the best dramas I have ever seen. I can not even describe how beautiful this drama was filmed. I cried for a few days when I finished it. I was listening to the osts while showering one day and almost wanted to cry. It emotionally and physically pains me in a sad yet beautiful way. Although it got pretty high ratings, i personally feel like it deserves more

hades Jul 13 2020 11:24 pm been watching kdrama since 2014 but this is just the best one ive ever watched. im so late for just watching it now during quarantine but just what like they say, better late than never. the chemistry of the casts, breathtaking cinematography, poetic dialogues, beautiful osts and many more. it will also make you an instant patriot after watching it. been crying for days after watching it. my eyes are swollen to the point that my family thought i was dumped by someone. the emotions are just too real. thank you for everyone who are behind this succesful drama??

Lee Jul 13 2020 9:10 am This drama is so intense. And impecable acting from many talented actors. I love it. Congratulations !

Fifi Jul 11 2020 11:54 pm Spoiler!!! When you know the date of Korean Independence day and you also know the setting time of this drama, then you should prepare to be broken heart and to cry till the drama ends.. Gun, Sad Memories, but it leaves you with a heart full of hope for a better future.

deya Jul 07 2020 2:53 am best drama ever

Tina Jul 05 2020 11:31 pm I was really moved by how the lead actress here (Lady Ae-shin) portrayed her character. Superb acting! The series was like a historical journey. Glory, guns and sad ending yet very uplifting!

Glory Jul 05 2020 2:15 am Best Korean drama ever

Its pace was perfect. War and fight scenes, lowkey comedy, and beautiful romance were played out perfectly.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Lee Byung Hun and Yoo Yeon Seok, as well as the director and writer (her best work yet!)

Glad to discover new actors as well, I'll definitely support them from now on.

Aera Jul 03 2020 12:34 am 10/10, best romance drama ever even though it was lowkey, their love really showed.

The historical aspect is amazing as well, despite some of it being fiction.

If you're thinking about watching it, please do!! It deserves more recognition. Maybe if it was released this year, more people could've watched it because of the korean drama craze on netflix.

yosa Jun 30 2020 9:35 pm definitely a masterpiece. no doubt please. this is the best kdrama ive ever watched. everyone please watch this and recommend to your friends bcs this is so underrated im sad. this should get all the recognition they deserved. im not lying this is too good im gonna cry

Sunshine Jun 21 2020 11:32 pm Definitely a masterpiece. Even after many generation passed, this shall be an exemplary how a story with combined theme of love and history should be made. I hate that i discovered this late but now when i discover, this is my go to watch. The most perfect story plot written by Kim Eun Sook. From the first epi until the end I was so immersed with the plot. Very captivating and well delivered. I just looovveee how well it was made. The ending was so real n acceptable. That's how life back then during war. There's never been a drama like this and never will. Kudos all!

KC Jun 19 2020 8:23 am I'm speechless after finishing the drama. It really is a masterpiece and deserves more attention. My eyes are now swollen. sob....sob....

Arta Harris ( New Zealand) Jun 17 2020 1:27 pm Everyone in this Mini Series deserves an Oscar Award including the producers. I have watched many Western movies but this series is Absolutely imprinted into my mind, it brought out every human emotion that kept me transfixed to the screen. The story development was Brilliant. I used subtitles and no music while watching, yet I could hear stirring music in my head, just magnificent natural landscape scenes and captured during different Seasons. Main Actors were Amazing, I loved each one and cried for each one, yes this Mr Sunshine took me on a deep passionate journey about love, friendship, patriotism, courage and trust for a Worthy Cause. This series has awoken my mind to historical events that many small countries suffered. Now in 2020 I hope we never repeat the past and hold on to the Freedom of choices we enjoy today. Thank you so much. Everyone deserves an Oscar Award.

Anne Jun 16 2020 10:51 am Like what others mentioned, it is definitely a masterpiece.

Every aspect that's in the show was so good.

I can't put into words how much I loved this drama. It deserved its ratings, I wish people outside of Korea would pay attention to this.

Romance, comedy, action, and drama were so well written. This is definitely Kim Eun Sook's best show, based on the 7-8 KES shows that I've watched (yes, including Goblin, DOTS, and TKEM)

Casey Jung Jun 15 2020 2:50 am one of my fav dramas of all time! such a beautiful story with amazing actors. have rewatched it 3 times and cry legit in every episode. the relationships between the characters, the heartfelt messages it holds.... everything is just amazing and totally recommend! love goo dong mae he’s my favourite

Carol Jun 15 2020 1:22 am One word : Masterpiece.

Jenny Jun 13 2020 11:52 am this is definitely a masterpiece

Claire Jun 10 2020 10:28 am I watched it because of Yoo Yeon Seok even though I don't watch historical dramas, but Mr. Sunshine is definitely my favorite Korean drama now. I'm still not over it even after a few months, which is why I'm writing down a long comment here. I just want Mr. Sunshine to get the attention it deserves OOF.

It may not be 100% historically accurate, but everything is so perfect.

Production quality is so so good, their budget is so big. From the cinematography, script, plot, actors (even the supporting ones !!), relationships, OSTs, to the musical scores. I can't stress how every score is so good and very much applicable to each scene, it made me feel MORE emotions ?? More than what typical musical scores give me.

+ I just love how some characters just go back and forth from different languages, that was hot.

Action ? Comedy ? and (especially) Romance ? in a whole other level

It is definitely a masterpiece, I wish people would overlook their doubts because of reasons about them possibly not knowing the actors, them finding an actor ugly (they're not), etc. etc. I wish it becomes more well-known internationally, it definitely needs more recognition.

SPOILER

Eugene's flashback scene in episode 24, in the Tokyo Photo Studio made it harder for me :( like ? have you seen that much love on someone's eyes and smile ?? he's for real a man of action and affection, like ??

stella Jun 01 2020 6:16 pm Idk what to say, this is my first colosal drama and it left a very big impression to me. I cried a lot and my heart ached so much. I dont have any desire to watch another drama for a while after watching this. It’s so beautifully written. All the casts have a good chemistry. They did well on portraying their characters. It doesnt have any single kissing scene but their love story is just so pure and strong than any other kdrama. Although the age gap is so big but their chemistry is beyond of this world. This drama also made me learn about korea history. Hands down to Kim Eun Sook. I think this is her best work so far.

Ria Naminé May 24 2020 1:47 pm that is one of the best time/historical-based drama. from the budget of the series up to the way the artists act. wow, just really wow.

Jangmi May 24 2020 9:55 am It's the best drama i watched, it's being my favourite drama, i look like a crazy girl who cry like crying machine. The caracter is so perfect and i think this drama still worth to watch in 5 years latter haha

lilyb May 23 2020 5:11 pm This is a masterpiece.

RSN May 21 2020 6:54 pm Hands down, the greatest Korean drama I've ever seen and writer Kim Eun-Sook's best drama, even better than Goblin, The King Eternal Monarch, Descendants of the Sun, and The Heirs. A must watch for anyone who wants a break from rom-com dramas!

gogo May 19 2020 4:02 am I think this is the best drama written by kim eun sook,,

DeobixUniverse May 18 2020 11:45 pm I will give this drama an 11/10. The cinematography, the plot, down to the actors, everything was superb!! I'm not really a fan of historical dramas but this became my favorite out of all the kdramas that i've watched. Definitely worth it!!

Frenzy May 18 2020 7:23 pm @Nurul Heya, you should try Gaksital/Bridal mask it tells the story from when Japan already occupied Korea. It has the best character arcs on kdrama in my honest opinion

ly really loves mr sunshine May 13 2020 11:18 am when i said that this is the best kdrama that i've ever watched, i really meant it

Nurul May 11 2020 2:00 pm I just finish watch this few days ago. I still can not move on !. One of the best series I've ever watched. To those who like mr sunshine should try Nokdu Flower. It has quite similar storyline (japan invasion). Jo Jung seok is the actor?

Myriam May 07 2020 10:03 pm I was really reluctant to watch this at first because I didn’t like any drama written by Kim Eun Sook and I almost dropped it due to it being very slow paced in the beginning, but I have to say now that I watched it it’s one of my favorite kdramas ever (at least top 3). I never cried because of a series as much as I did with this one, I fell in love and got attached to all the characters..I felt so close to them, I experienced their happiness, their pain and their sufferings. Everything about this drama is incredible; the writing, the acting, the bromance, the romance (My favorite ship ever in kdrama history) and most importantly it offers a great insight on Korea’s sufferings and its people’s sacrifices during this period of history. I haven’t felt so empty and melancholic after watching a drama in years so please if you don’t want to watch it because, like me, you don’t find the writer’s other works worth the hype, please give it a chance nothing else she created compares to this masterpiece. Also, please don’t drop it it might seem tempting during the first 6 episodes or so but the pace picks up and you definitely won’t regret having waited for so long.

Nabilah May 02 2020 5:44 am I've watched the whole series for the 7th time already. I just can't get enough of it. I dare to say that you're not a K-Drama goer if you haven't watch this masterpiece ?✊?

Honestly, I have always had that second lead syndrome and this drama is no exception. Everytime I watch this, I'll definitely fall in love more with Goo Dong Mae.

I'm watching it again for the 8th time, I hope I have enough tears to shed ??

Hazel Apr 25 2020 5:56 pm I literally fell in love with Goo dong mae

burgerking2000 Apr 25 2020 6:09 am I'm re-watching this, cause I honestly love Mr. Sunshine. This is very much my dark taste in kdramas that meet my expectations haha

Qiong Apr 23 2020 3:53 am SPOILERS!!!.... Wow... Just finished the drama last night (this morning to be precise). There's... no word I can find to describe this drama, or may I say that the drama already described itself truthfully, "gun, glory, sad ending".

I cried, I sobbed throughout the last 2 episodes, despite knowing beforehand that 4/5 main characters would die (it would have been even more sad if I hadn't known). Unlike other dramas, I only sometimes cry because of the main couple (and I hardly do that), for this drama I mostly cry because of patriotism. I sobbed like crazy, not when Eugene died, but when Gwan Soo listed the sacrificed Righteous Army members to the king. It's like, I can feel their country's loss through his scream and his tears.

The relationships are beautifully developed and I'm not just mentioning our main OTP. Friendships, partnerships, between people and people, between citizens and their country. I cried at the scenes where Eugene bid farewell to Kyle, where 3 men drink in the bar knowing it would be their last time. The war is here, every moment they got be together becomes last.

Character development is also really well built and this is the first drama I've ever watched able to manage such a job for so many characters in a storyline. Eugene, Ae Shin, Dong Mae, Hee Sung and Hina, they've all grown a lot compared to the beginning of the series.

Well, seems like everyone has watched it before me and all said how sad it is, so I have no more words to write. It's one hell of a haunting drama to be honest, getting out of it and wrapping up the feelings will not be easy. But after all, I'm glad to have watched such a drama like this.

Dayana Apr 22 2020 10:34 am I must say that this is the best drama I've ever watched in my entire life. As a person who has watched lots of Korean drama and tired of cliche storylines, I've stopped watching Korean drama. But I did watch this drama because I was attracted by the casting and the writer. This drama really left me something I've never felt. I cried watching this drama but the last episode made me sobbing like crazy. I never cried that long watching a drama. Until now, I feel like crying again. Whatever it is, those who hesitate to watch this drama, you shouldn't. It's worth the 24 episodes. Plus, the soundtracks are good and you'll love all of them.

Shane Apr 19 2020 12:38 pm i almost never leave a comment, but this drama is a masterpiece, so i just had to. i promise you, you're missing out on something if you decide to skip it. every single person who made this drama happen, from the absolutely amazing actors, the production crew, to the singers who lent their beautiful voices to the show; just wow. you can be so proud to be part of this epic story that left me with so many feelings i never thought i could have for a drama. i should stop here before spoiling stuff... but lastly i just want to say...

Goo Dong Mae ...... my dearest Goo Dong Mae...... you broke me into pieces.

Dhomrun Apr 14 2020 10:28 pm Goo Dong Mae ruined me

liveinsoco Apr 09 2020 7:34 am The best kdrama ever. The story, cinematography, OSTs, and ofc the actors are amazing. I really miss this kind of drama, it is not only cover love story and a bit of thriller (?), but also the history setting is really informative. It reminds me waiting every weekend for new episodes XD. Worth for binge watching, totally recommended!! Love the ending too, very realistic not too enforce or open ended.

I don't know why this drama isn't that hype like other's drama from Kim Eun-Sook and Lee Eung-Bok in my country. But, as you can see, the rating in Korea is really good.

whaleinmee Apr 06 2020 4:20 pm This drama ruined me during these quarantine days.I never cried while watching any drama/movie before but Mr. Sunshine is the only drama that made me cry like a baby. The best of the best.

mary Apr 06 2020 11:27 am Still the best Kim Eunsook's work for me and will alwaaaayss be. Everything is on point. The cinematography, script, and actings. Truly a masterpiece despite the controversies.

mr sunshine’s biggest fan Apr 06 2020 8:20 am mr sunshine is the best kdrama i have watched in my entire life. all the actors bring their characters so well. im so sad knowing that this kdrama didn’t received support as much other kdramas from the same director and writer ( dots and goblin ) . for me, mr sunshine is hands down the best among these three and probably all other kdramas. i hope that all the actors, kim tae ri, byun yo han and kim min jung will get more recognition and offer in the future because they pull off their characters amazingly. it’s really sad to see that this series is not hyped up like other typical cringey kdrama. please to whoever that is read this and still haven’t watch mr sunshine. pleasee give it a try coz it is so worth your time. AND not to mention the ost is the most heartbreaking ost ever!! hmm might end up crying again after this. ahh the feelings?

VeeVeeVee Mar 31 2020 12:25 am This drama started very well, but unfortunately, like any Kim Eun Sook dramas, the middle parts were always, always, very slow. It was sooo hard to reach ep14 and the thought that I still have ten episodes more was taunting.

Taunting because the characters were brilliantly written. You'll get drawn to them that you just want to know quickly what happened and what will happen to them. Yet, there were parts introduced in a very languid manner that you can't blame yourself if ever you decide to drop this series.

Good thing the arduous wait was worth it! Ep 19 till finale really made up for eps 5-18. The cinematography and acting was truly impressive! The historical points definitely aroused every patriotic cell in my body.

I'm very grateful for this drama. Truly a masterpiece. The tears I shed were all worth it!

It took me three weeks to finish this, even though i finished 'Crash Landing On You' in just roughly three days. So yeah, to those who are apprehensive to watch this, you may want to consider my humble opinion.  But I'm still hoping you'd give this drama a try for you're surely in for a treat!  <3

Chima Mar 26 2020 8:47 pm Hey.. Iknow mamy of are picky watchers and Iknow some of you are hesitating on whether to watch this or not... and don't be afraid I will help you!v

You gotta watch this. This drama like holy damn. I don't cry unless someone deserves my tears, but this drama brought me a bucket full of tears and laughter. The cast has amazing chemistry and you feel the pain the actors feel.

Watch it you won't regret. If you want a better review check the comment

Tt Mar 22 2020 4:11 am First time post in this website. I must say this is the best kdrama a ever watched.. I start watch kdrama since 2010..now i must write this is the best drama i watch from their actors, plot, cinematography and etc...I hope another good drama like this will be produce.. Good job mr sunshine team..

chihye Feb 12 2020 2:36 pm I usually don't leave reviews after watching a k-drama, but this is one of the few exceptions. Mr. Sunshine is the best melodrama I have ever watched, and this is coming from someone who used to watch a lot of rom-coms. From the cinematography, the plot, the character development, and beautiful message, the writers, producers, and directors nailed it all. It's an extreme emotional rollercoaster, so prepare to cry a lot. I binged this over the week, and I have no regrets. In fact, I'm sad it's over, and this definitely deserves a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th watch from me. Even as someone who doesn't watch a lot of historical dramas, this intrigued me and every episode had me on the edge of my seat. I'm actually glad they made it 24 episodes instead of 16, because there needed to be more time to appreciate and empathize with each character; every character has a beautiful storyline and makes you feel really connected. This drama really has everything; romance, action, history, suspense, and comic relief. I know some people are disappointed that (kind of spoiler?) there's no kiss scenes, but the love between Eugene and Aeshin was deep and pure. There's so much chemistry and romance between them, you could feel it even through the tension.

tl;dr - This is seriously an amazing drama, and in my 5 years watching, I can say this is now #1 on my list. I've been left speechless, I'm not sure if words enough can describe how much I enjoyed watching this. I don't think I can move on. Please watch it, you won't regret these 24 hours.

Marvelin Feb 10 2020 3:15 am just finished watching this drama... at first i hesitate to watch this because this is based on historical event which is not my cup of tea. i almost give up in 1st episode because i think it's too cruel, but later on i feel addicted with the story.. in the middle, the story was drag too long, they focus on building relationship between main character. they were nice and i can see how gentlemen eugene choi (he protect aesin until he end his life) but unfortunately there is no kissing scene until the end.. i know already but i still hope =( actually i hope there will be happy ending at least for eugene and aesin, like they both survive and lead the "righteous army" is it possible right? or at least make ae sin have baby with eugene, like her parents did... i hate end episode when all of 3 mans die... especially when ae sin see eugene die and yell out his name, it makes my heart break.. but overall same with most people, i satisfy with whole story and they make the scene, the location all good...

Xeena Feb 08 2020 8:33 am Correction: I just found out on another site that this show is actually progressed to the early 1900's, so the flag they show is totally correct for the time.

shima Jan 13 2020 11:38 am Mr. Sunshine= Mr.perfect Excellent drama

Kpop Jan 13 2020 1:49 am This was a great movie expect they need to do more research b4 placing yhe american glag diring the wrong area because base on esp 2 during the war the flag was wrong. They had the flag with 50 states but base in this time and area it should have been the 13 colony flag.. with 13 star. Common koreans do a better job

Poppy Jan 10 2020 11:34 am I'm currently watching the drama and I haven't skipped a single episode or scene for the first time ever since I started watching korean dramas. I'm on episode 16 and saw the preview for the next episode, based on the comments down below I got a hint on what's going to happen. I love Dongmae so much! He's my favorite character. I fell for the actor who played him and now planning on watching his other works. The drama is so good! as expected of the people who worked on Goblin and DOTS. I don't understand how some people find this drama boring. It has the best mixture of all genres. I love how this drama gave me roller coaster feel. As for the age difference, I don't have any problem with it. The actors had a great chemistry and were both amazing actors and that's all that matters.

gunseliss Dec 12 2019 4:36 pm i would be happy to see a kiss scene but whatever, even their glances to each other made me shiver sometimes. the acting and plot was on point, i loved how they managed to portray the multi-cultural persons successfully. a must watch drama??

Rissa Nov 11 2019 10:29 am I was pleasantly surprised, I hope to see more like this in upcoming k-dramas. Soooo good This is my favorite drama now before it was DOTS but it changed ?

Mrs sunshine Oct 10 2019 8:43 pm I cant wait to back home after work just to watch this dramaaaaaa!!!!!! love doesn't always need skin contact to be romantic isn't it

Trinassi Oct 08 2019 1:59 am The best.

Zareen Tasneem Oct 07 2019 9:57 am this drama is the best drama i have ever seen.

Shin Oct 03 2019 8:40 am Guys you have to watch this drama.period

Best Fan Sep 26 2019 6:52 pm Mr. Sunshine Its the best K drama of the century. It has the best and unique story. I really really love. The actors and actresses did their part very very well. I still hope for Season 2. Every episode is breathtaking and the ending I shed a lot of tears. If you started watching thus you will forget the age gap between the main characters.

Ps. The Cameo of Kim Ji Won and Jin goo Im very happy about it even though they appear in a short period.

Mas Sep 15 2019 8:35 am This is definitely one of my favorite drama ever. The story is interesting and sometimes unpredictable. Fall in love with each characters. No kiss scene! Well, it's something. And I love all the soundtracks. This drama is just...different! You should watch!

Cam:chii Sep 10 2019 3:23 am Just finished watching the drama... All actors and actresses portrayed their characters very well... This drama will make you Smile, Laugh,Cry and Fall in Love... Others might think this drama will bored them, but NO... It's very interesting.. I know it's fictional, but it was also based in real stories during those era. Been wishing until to the last episode that they will KISSED.. :) but, they didn't.. :(

Elvera Dell'Grottaglia Aug 31 2019 5:22 pm I am an Italian American woman 81 years young. Being in the arts myself, I can honestly say Mr Sunshine is one of my top 5 shows of all time. Thankyou for such a wonderful script, music, locations, history, and the acting talent of everyone is amazing. Love Kdrama and everything else your country has to offer. America needs to take performing arts lessons from Korea.

fdsjsjsj Aug 14 2019 11:23 pm if can’t appreciate this drama, i say u have no taste

dolphinhamster Jul 23 2019 8:24 pm David McInnis really looks like Jamie Lannister from Games of Throne, especially with his paralysed right hand.

Atiqah Nafsun Jul 18 2019 8:25 am The best drama for me. Everything just perfect. The storyline is so good. Every role played well. The music make me goosebumps and the scene too. I love both leads role, their character is very strong. I dont find any kdrama match this standard. Mr Sunshine really set the bar too high. Strong plot, good cinematography, awesome cast, best ost, and the drama is not just any drama you will forgot the next month, you wont forget it for the rest of your life. ?

Camille Amor Jul 15 2019 6:18 am If they have casted a much older actress, this would have been a big hit considering the writer of this drama. Kim Tae Ri looks like Lee Byung Hoon's daughter. No chemistry at all

Denisa Jul 11 2019 5:06 pm Watched 80+ kdramas and currently rewatching Mr Sunshine. Imo is one of the best kdramas I've watched, but then again my taste for these shows don't match the majority. The cast is great, you will love them all, great actors, the story is so amazing that made me even more curious about Korea and their history. Good conversations, great visuals, awesome music ..just everything is close to perfection if you ask me.

Laura Jul 05 2019 3:43 am I didnt watched this first due to agegap between leads ,but I asdure you even just watching 1st episode you get attracted .Chemistry is so sweet ,natural between leads.Without a single kiss scene but Just lovely staring,smart & deep conversation ,care,affection ,warm hugs ,hand holding ,will give you butterflies.Best pure love story ever. Bromance is so cute.We fell in love in not just with leads but with many characters .All actors did a great job,even cameos are excellent .I cant imagine some actors had to speak in multiple languages in this series . Cinematography is excellent .If I say in brief,this is the best kdrama I ever watched (I have watched around 100)Now my expectations are high for kdramas .

Adelaide Jul 01 2019 8:43 am Beautiful. Pure art. Excellent talents. Great storyline.

I don't have more words to describe how amazing work of this drama. At first I was amazed by how beautiful they make the cinematography. Then I was stunned by how well each actors play their character. And then I was wowed once again by how beautifully sad the story was written. The drama deserved every awards they got. Salute!

Raya Jun 30 2019 3:41 pm Cried because Go Dong Mae was MY Mr Sunshine and I wanted him happy with the hotel owner. Before I watched the kdrama I saw a gif with the two of them and I was left with the impression that they end up together so I rooted for them since ep 1. Also could anyone tell me why is being a butcher's son equal or worse to being a slave? I mean it's an honest profession and a their meat needs to come from somewhere?

Dana Jun 18 2019 10:26 pm every Yoo Yeon-Seok / Goo Dong-Mae scenes was my favorite he really deserves more credit he is more than qualify to even portray Kenshin Himura

Nonie Jun 16 2019 1:04 pm I apologize for leaving this negative comment. I have tried watching this drama. I have tried many times and always failed. I could not stand more than 5 minutes of it. It was not just boring, it was beyond extremely boring for me. And I watched more than 200 dramas!!! I am sorry one more time. This drama is probably for those people who like Goblin and DOTS and it means not for me.

AZ Jun 15 2019 6:57 pm Better than goblin for me

Sheh Jun 12 2019 10:21 pm The main actors, Kim Tae Ri and Lee Byung Hun, are so good. They didn't have that palpable, steamy, and passionate chemistry to root for, but wow, their emotional scenes together feels so real. I had tears along with them.

Alexa Jun 12 2019 4:22 pm Whats wrong with you People?! Q_Q this is an insane Artwork

sleepy Jun 08 2019 10:31 pm One of the best, if not, the best dramas I've ever seen. I would put this at the same tier as DOTS The casting is perfect for each of the roles and the acting is very believable (all the main and significant supporting characters won "Best Actor/tress award" for this drama), sometimes you'll forget it's just a drama. The plotline is very creative and unpredictable (this is coming from someone who is good at guessing the end) and there is no point where the story gets slow paced or boring. Also the characters are actually smart and there's some witty parts. The drama is elaborately well written and I would highly recommend this to anyone. You truly understand the meaning of patriotism: it's value and sacrifices, and the importance of history

Emy Z May 31 2019 1:53 pm I just finished watching all the episodes. Well, Goo Dong mae stole my heart, his deep sadness, his deep love, his sacrifice and that sad song that played in his scence when: he loved her so much but loved alone, all the sadness penetrated my heart like his deep sowrd, for me he was the symbol of:”sad ending”. what was the title of that song by the way? I as well loved the character of Hui song very much and the symbolism in his words. I loved the script, it was very well written, the best parts were: the part of “gun, glory, sad endings”, heena’s questions” who will have the most sad ending” and “should I cry pr should I bite?” , the part about the lion who will lead the victory, the part about loving useless things, and the part of:” it’s 15th of the month” and a lot more. Something good also was how the writer discribed the reality when takashi told yu jin that as england is intersted in india, and japan in joseon, so is america in phillipine, it shows that the good deeds of yu jin is not a consequence of being american though the fact about him being american was repeated a lot, but he did what he did because he loved the girl which was symbol of the joseon flame, and the fact that he encounteered good americans like joseph and kyle, it wasnn’t for america as a country! And finally, I loved how the traitor’s end was compared with the end of those who fight for their rights the comparsion was perfect!

Jexo May 27 2019 6:29 pm I have watched the whole episode of the drama. I must say that the I love the interactions between the three male actors, I love their characters. Each actors were good; the hotel owner, Dong Mae, the Korean-American and specially the fiance. Must watch!

emy Z May 26 2019 4:56 pm I’m watching this drama for the first time now, I’m at episode 12 my favourite character is that of Dong Mae, I feel already dissapointed because it’s obvious that Ae shin won’t have feelings for him. It would be more dissapointing if he end up loving another woman, even if ae shin didn’t love him back, I wish he’ll still love her till the end, better watch a sad love story then some sudden change.

Redtown May 08 2019 9:46 am Aeshin parents was able to meet again in next life featuring in descendant of the sun. Will Aeshin and Eugene be able to meet in next life too . Look forward to it ??

Pri May 03 2019 6:20 pm This one is indeed a very good drama with Lee Byung- hoon’s acting being the best thing about it....the story was great and quite artistically directed and edited, the dialogues were just too good and well delivered by the actors....and the ending was just perfect now, coming to the not so good part, firstly, the script could have been more compact if wrapped up within 18 to 20 episodes....2ndly, some of the scenes were so dramatic that rather than being poetic,they came off as somewhat superficial unlike other great dramas such as prison break, life on mars, scarlet heart, a poem a day and so on....all the actors were good, but I somehow felt that goo Dong Mae’s charecter could have been played by some other actor who can emote pain better( someone like Kim Jae Wook)....Yoo Yeon Sook is too cute to play a fierce Japanese ninja assassin.....lastly, the background music in some of the episodes were too modern and did not suit the the mood and timeline of this period drama....having said so much, this is one of the best kdramas of recent times which people will remember for a long time.

Millykay Apr 24 2019 8:11 am Rewatched this movie for the 2nd time and i still can't get over it. It is my favorite kdrama i have ever watched. It has everything it will make u cry n laugh all at once love d way d actors played they role so well

Lois Wrubell Apr 10 2019 4:25 pm On further reflection; the translation could have been better. A lot of words were incongruous. The music score was magical. Visually, very pleasing. The way the personal relationships, especially the love scenes, were portrayed, hearkens back to the forties when so much was left unsaid, undone, and left to our imaginations. Well done!

Lois wrubell Apr 10 2019 4:13 pm I binge watched the entire series in 3 days. It was epic, tragic, beautiful, artistic, and, I imagine, realistic. Freedom is always worth dying for. And living for. It was sad to see, once again, how political ambition, short-sightedness, and the lust for power, sealed the fates of so many good people. At the end of episode 24 I knew the people of Korea had another 25 horrific years to endure before freedom was finally possible. I thoroughly enjoyed the director’s portrayal of his characters. Each of them. I got the humour, felt the pathos, saw into their flawed characters, and moved through understanding to forgiveness for those with weak characters, and felt profound sadness for those who deserted their humanity. I undertook a short study of Korea’s history to help me put the story in context. A great work! The best entertainment teaches us something worth knowing. Thank you. thank you.

dhea Apr 07 2019 1:02 am please season 2 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ore-sama Mar 25 2019 9:15 am I watched the first episode and I am hooked!

Sandra Mar 24 2019 6:19 pm This is the greatest historical and romance drama so far I have seen, indeed a masterpiece!! I love how patriotism and love for country was depicted. In addition I applaud how the love for a person was depicted in a deeper, honorable way, willing to protect, be by her side, and die for her. Not sensual (no need for passionate kissing) as other Korean dramas I have seen. Deep love and emotional expression between Eugene Choi and Go Aeshin can be felt from their faces---great performance!!! Also great acting performance from all the cast actors!! Kudos to all!! I hope more Korean dramas of this quality be made!!!

Abby Mar 19 2019 9:22 am This. is. a. Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!

Azy Mar 17 2019 11:52 pm this is epic! so good i cried. the plot, the casts are outstanding, beautiful sad ending..

ratna Mar 11 2019 11:14 pm i think at that time US had skin color racist , how eugene can be a captain ?

Lalalove Mar 11 2019 6:02 pm At first i've never thought I'd love this drama so much. But the moment I've seen episode 1 , i can already say that this drama is so far the greatest historical kdrama i have watched ever. There has never a kissing scene nor any affectionate touching, yet you can feel so much love between the female and male lead. Hats off to all the cast especially my Mr.Sunshine, Captain Eugene Choi (Byung-hun oppa) ❤ This is a highly recommend drama no once should ever miss. I am crying as i am watching the final moment. We should bid "See you again", instead of "Goodbye", so see you again Mr.Sunshine ❤❤❤

Chae Ri Feb 23 2019 4:06 am I didn't know it was Yeon Seok :"" I'm happy to see you here, chilbong <3

LunarCaelum Feb 08 2019 8:16 pm never imagine would fall in love with beautiful sad ending. everything here is so realistic, i think the ending is perfect consider the situation they face, a happily ever after ending wouldn't be match. Cinematography, cast, song, emotion, everything are sooo perfect

Ysabelle Feb 04 2019 6:51 pm The best drama of 2018 great cast and a real tear jerker. I loved every moment. Look forward to seeing more kdramas from Lee Byung-Hun Lee and Kim Tae-Ri as well as all the other actors and actresses.

Glennie Feb 03 2019 10:31 am It’s masterpiece and excellent portrayal of the entire cast

Ken Jan 31 2019 2:39 am The 3 male leads are so adorable!

NANCY LUDWICK Jan 14 2019 12:06 pm Mr. Sunshine is the best film/series I have ever seen!! I'm 74 and I'm so glad I've lived this long, to see this beautiful series. It was perfectively cast, perfect story, perfect cinematography, every detail in the making, perfect!!! Every cast member played their character to perfection. I cried and laughed. I saw this twice on Netflix and just had to own a copy. Thank you to all for making an old woman happy !!!

Raghad Jan 05 2019 4:37 pm Any recommendations guys to get me over this amazing drama!

Elba Jan 05 2019 1:36 am Amazing, one of the best korean drama that I have ever seen, the actors were outstanding, and I mean more than one. It was a job well done in every way. Many thanks

Hiso Dec 27 2018 5:02 am Anybody know who played as young king in ep 1?

tatoes Dec 25 2018 11:52 pm Best drama so far! Can't wait for your next project!xx

Soumya Dec 24 2018 9:39 am One of best drama.i fall in love with Goo dong mae ( yoo yeon seok) Such a great actor. When his fingers are acting in these drama.nice casting. Highly recommended. Once again Google dong mae u stole my heart ??

Ferodith Dec 23 2018 2:33 am Kim Tae Ri's character kills me!!

I love Eugene Choi Dec 22 2018 5:41 am This drama is epic and beyond my expectation. Definitely the best historical drama i watched so far (had been watching kdrama for 16 years). The drama is very unique and beautiful in many aspects. The writer n director did awesome job. lee byung hun english was great and i love it! I’ll miss the awkward trio bromance and eugene choi go ae shin sad love story the most!

Melanief Dec 21 2018 5:55 am I'd love watching Saeguk drama. it makes me want to learn more about Korean Culture. This drama telling us, it is not an easy thing to be a King, I feel sorry for the King of Joseon in that era. He feels so much pressure because of the Traitor inside the Palace and also Japan.Thanks to the Righteous Army. They were fighting all their life for their Joseon. I was cry, can not move on from this drama. A Gun, Glory and Sad Ending.

Andre Dec 11 2018 1:05 pm Today im already finished watching Mr. Sunshine. Seriously ill never watching genre history since Moonlight and Scarlet Ryeo. I admit it this drama got #1 in my drama history. Eugene and Ae shin never kiss but that storyline, plot, casts much much better than romance drama in every eps kissing. ALL CASTS Mr. Sunshine so amazinggggg !! Im falling in love with them. Goodjob. I will waiting for drama history can beat this Mr. Sunshine :)

Niki Dec 08 2018 6:00 am I was cry a river on the last episode!!! oh my god why writer-nim have to broke my heart to pieces :""""( 4 thumbs up! Good Job for casts and also Mr. Sunshine team <3

sera Dec 03 2018 12:06 am Lee Byung Hun is so handsome. There were multiple times I felt like I was falling in love with him. His expressive eyes and voice is his strongest suit.

Otilia Dec 02 2018 9:19 am @Azu03 because Wan-ik was tracking her, and having short hair was a shame, so cutting her hair meant Ae-shin wouldn't go outside, since

Otilia Dec 02 2018 9:17 am @Azu03 From what I remember, Gu Dong-Mae cut Ae-shin's hair because it was dangerous for her to be seen outside(Wan-ik, Hi-na's father, was trailing Ae-shin). It was a shame back then to have short hair , because the hair is from your parents (Confucianist Filial Piety). Dong-mae said to Ae-shin that her mercy — saving his life when he was a young butcher’s son — kindled a false hope, and that false hope is what sliced her hair. But it was more than that, as he would admit later (to Eugene, after being beaten with the broom). He knew he would get beaten (by her grandfather) or even worse , but he did it for her sake.

Choo Nov 28 2018 3:19 am Can't move on from this drama?❤❤

Azu03 Nov 25 2018 12:47 pm I love love love this drama. I'm almost done, and I'm scared to see its end. Such a moving drama, I can't put into words all the feelings it gives me. I love all characters, but my favorite by far has been Goo-Dong-Mae. He has stolen my heart. I sometimes wish he could stay w Ae-Shin and at times have really dislike her for being so cold to him when all he's done is shown her how much he cares for her. I wish I could take her place. There's only one thing that's been bothering me quite a lot besides the sad end which I'm already trying to prepare myself for. Why did Goo-Dong-Mae cut Ae-Shin's hair? Does anyone know? If anyone can put to rest my mind by answering I will owe you big.

iinsmg Nov 25 2018 11:16 am Epic drama. I never commented. But i want to recommend this series. still can not move on after this series end 1 month ago. 100/100

kekeke Nov 17 2018 3:13 pm i've never write a comment before but this drama really moves my heart to do it. this is literally the BEST kdrama i've watched in my entire life. from cinematography, interesting plot until the acting, they deserve a 10/10. i cried a lot, it made my heart aches. also, i'm not really a fan of historical kind of drama but w o w this is an exception. great job, mr sunshine!

tazzzifz Nov 17 2018 12:56 pm This drama has the best cinematography so far, better than Goblin I should say. I rarely watch dramas with Joseon era but this drama is something else. The romance between the leads is so beautiful, they didn't even kiss for once but their romance grips my heart. Such a beautiful storyline with balanced conflicts. It has many characters but somehow I didn't forget even of them. Literally the best drama I've ever watched. 9 out of 10. You should watch this, worth the episodes, worth the actors and worth your time. I appreciate and thank all of the actors who played this drama, also the writer, I watched this drama because of her and I didn't even regret a tiny bit. (I've just finished the last episode and I'm bawling my eyes out)

addiction is a good thing Nov 17 2018 9:28 am I rarely commented on any drama, but this one really deserved one, a drama with a nice plot, great cinematography, and poetic lines....great work from all the staffs and actors.....its opened our mind to a new set of expectation towards kdrama

Ayu Nov 17 2018 5:56 am Best Drama Ever!

Thomas W Nov 17 2018 5:53 am From Ae-shin's POV there was only one man; never was there three men. There was NO love triangle because she had NO feelings for any man but Eugene.

She said his name all the time. And fantasised the two of them together in New York. She learned to write his name in English and filled pages of her journal with his name. Her nanny teased her about it while Eugene was present.

From their first encounter on the roof that very evening the lights lit-up the streets of Hanseong (Seoul), Ae-shin fell for Eugene. She later admitted it to him when the British war correspondent came to interview the Righteous Army.

Chxiaoxie Nov 14 2018 12:22 pm Best dramaOf the year! Korenan drama's standard will go higher because of this drama. Gun, glory, sad ending. Good bye mr. Sunshine

MiggyPants Nov 13 2018 7:01 pm This drama is full sorrow Im' crying all the time but I really love it! The cinematography is breathaking and amazing. I will rate this drama 10/10

mr. Critic Nov 11 2018 1:16 pm I watch few episode i was like hmmm and just kept watching weirldy. i getting addict to watch the next episode.. The way the take the drama is really pretty. I was Wow by the director. I feel angry,sad,happy,romance. This best drama i watch so far. I was impresss. I reallly like the heena character. The actress make my day..

I will rate this drama 10/10

By Mr. Critic

Alex Nov 08 2018 11:52 am Awesome story. I recommend do watch it. It's heart touching. Fab

Olympia Nov 04 2018 1:25 am Three men loves a woman.

Eugene in his debonair American way.

Hee Sun in his poetic romantic magnetism. DongMae in his fierce thuggish way.

AeShin claimed that Hee Sun is soft. Dongmae came back as a traitor. Eugene? Love at first gun probably.

Waving Not Drowning Nov 01 2018 9:27 pm I was watching "Portrait of a Beauty" (2010) which starred the sultry Kim Gyu-Ri and noticed the boat scene at 23mins 30sec is the same river that Eugene and Ae-Shin took boat rides to the potter's place. It's clearly seen in episode 19 when Col. T. Mori point blank shot Hong-Pa in the head. However, the close-ups on the boat were not shot on location.

"Portrait of a Beauty" is the film adaptation of "The Painter of the Wind".

I still revisit Mr Sunshine and while the emotions have abated, the fantastic cinematography, brilliant script and powerful acting still resonate above any other drama I have watched since. The drama is a class its own.

Fathima Shafeeya Mansoor Oct 29 2018 4:24 am Well I finished the drama yesterday and the story was everything in all kinds of feeling I had. Romance, Happiness, Disappointment, Angry, etc.... I was wondering where is all this beautiful places comes from. The Writer always has a way with words. I liked the romance which made me expect something. Actors were natural with acting and expression. For All their effort They had a better outcome. For all my waiting Hi5.

HJ lee Oct 27 2018 4:05 am The statement at end of ep 9.... so touching

rrizo Oct 21 2018 2:14 pm thanks for the beautifull drama. like it very much, from story and the place. but, the romance just little knock my heart, i hope it like a goblin. but from the story is very interesting like chicago typewriter.... ok next dramaa

april Oct 17 2018 7:49 pm Nope, the ratings is one of the highest rating in cable history. First on average, followed by Goblin. And 2nd on the finale, the first is Reply 1988.

Karen Valenciano Oct 17 2018 11:46 am Excellent. We loved it. So diferent and intresting. Good caracteres great story!

Jenher Oct 16 2018 11:16 pm Wow what a drama!!! Great story!!! I have never ever write a review before but today i will write one because this is such a superb drama. Great acting, very good story line, great directing and cinematography!!!! Now I understand why koreans hated japanese at one time. This is amazing!!! If u have not seen this, watch it. You will never be sorry!!!

Donald Oct 15 2018 6:29 pm I have watched quite a few KDramas over the years but this one really impressed me. I am quite surprised at the low ratings in Korea. I thought the Lead actor and actress both did a superb job. Truly heart-warming and very touching. I am also very impressed with the cinematography. The best scenes were both Ae-Sin and Eugene on the bridge with the background and the other one was Dong Mae pulling on Ae-Sin's gown at the Calligraphy store. Absolutely superb!!!

keightie Oct 15 2018 1:23 am its just a work of art. I also love the humor. The bromance is endearing. The only thing that bothers me is that the leads need more chemistry in my opinion. Im always looking for how affected Ill be with the romantic scenes. The feeling of excitement in love and romance. In Filipino term its called "kilig".I guess i didnt find that here despite how good the actors are which the only downside of the series in my opinion. I only feel a dongseang relationship, or sisterly affection when watching them. But nevertheless, It was amazing.

Dee_gabby Oct 14 2018 4:43 am This is epic :)

Shinta Muliasari Oct 13 2018 7:25 am After watching this drama, suddenly all of dramas that I've watched just feel like trash.. ?, this drama is gold, still can't move on so I repeat it again and again..

Jaliper Oct 12 2018 2:48 pm The ratings don't lie. This is exceptional

Gik Oct 12 2018 11:18 am Never cried this much watching a kdrama. This drama is heartbreakingly breathtaking. Anyone who is debating whether to watch this or not, i strongly recommend u watch this. You definitely wont regret it.

Donna Oct 12 2018 12:10 am Best drama series...a very heartwarming drama..super nice..

Peter Ewert Oct 10 2018 8:35 pm Now what am I going to watch. Looked so forward every week.

Maggie Bacon Oct 10 2018 10:52 am Best series of all time.

Roland Larsson Oct 09 2018 10:50 am It's the best vi ever seen. We are starving, we are crying for to see these persons at least once at a another time. We don't want to lose them. We love them, let them come again in i now serie. We love them, we want them. I'm from Sweden and hadn't ever seen a film made in South Korea. I now have learned, not just but the Marsh-films, that SouthKorean is the land I (and my wife) want to visit.

Nat Oct 08 2018 2:00 pm Kim Kang Hoon is such a potential actor, how can he grasped and delivered so well at such a young age?

sera Oct 07 2018 4:44 am Is it possible to feel so many emotions because of the main couple's acting, but not convinced by the romance???

okkunique Oct 06 2018 3:14 pm Agree, that was a beautiful and touching drama but yet not logically and fairly ended, since in the beginning it always said that it was based on real historical events I believe that the audience deserved at least to know what happened in the end of this fight for freedom so that we could feel better for all those WHO died in the name of Korean independence...so many things left unrevealed in the end that I just feel being a bit cheated somehow, just a few words in the end could leave a spectator with a bit better feeling...

Sgrg Oct 06 2018 9:18 am SPOILER

Ep24, When Eugune Choi (Lee Byung Hun) was looking at his & Ae Shins' Photo in front of Photo Studio, that was real pain struck in the heart, that was very beautiful moment filled with sadness and happiness. It was that feelings he knew he would be apart from her.

It seems like there will be second installment which will be around World War Period which is why there wasn't scene of Hayashi and third installment might be Korean War.

Incredible Kdrama. 9/10 (Everything was really Great except some scenes were dragging in midway but it does happen in dramas, however, this sure comes in Top 5 Best Korean Drama of all time)

riaxnamine Oct 06 2018 7:48 am after moonlovers. Finally! There's a kdrama again that made my heart shattered.. after watching the 1st eposode of this, i got hooked. So i was always waiting for Saturdays and sundays to watch this. this war/historical series is really awesome! One of the greatest series i have ever watched!

KdramaFan Oct 06 2018 6:38 am This is the best k drama I ever watched. This drama is one of easier way for delivering national history and increasing curiousity to dig more about what happen at that moment (factual history). For me, who find history lecture is boring, watching this kind of drama is helpful. And it make us appreciate more our heroes.

Mr. Sunshine is a perfect packaged for a drama. Great casts, setting, plot, and the script are just perfect. Moreover, I really thankful for the last episode, because it ended perfectly and didn't ambiguous (so, we didn't need to assume further).

Thank you for making this beautiful drama, all of you deserves an acknowledgement !!

Crossing the Rubicon Oct 05 2018 5:46 am @John — Lee Se-Hoon's (Minister of Foreign Affairs) mistress Gye-hyang, ran off with the gold bars.

Inang_the_cell Oct 05 2018 4:38 am In my opinion, this was the most poetic, mature and realistic show ever scripted. Throughout all the K-dramas that I've watched, Mr. Sunshine really had a different feel and approach to me as an audience. Maybe because of the historical events and patriotism that was related to the story. The stunning cinematography of the show was really superb, from the scenery of nature to the 1900s setting of late Joseon, and the people. I would give this my all-time favorite and put this as my no.1 in my kdrama list. It is worth re-watching again.

Luke Oct 05 2018 3:55 am Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Sunshine win some awards. This drama deserve to win tho

Luke Oct 05 2018 3:55 am This drama is really good, I know it's a fiction but somehow I wish it was real, so everyone could remember their name who has fallen for their country

Betty S Oct 04 2018 7:18 am Everything was great about this series, story line, actors, etc. But I have not read any comments about the cinematography which was simply superb! Freeze any frame of the movie and you'll get a perfect image. Gorgeous colors, faultless composition. It has been a while - if ever - that I saw anything so breathtakingingly beautiful.

John Oct 04 2018 3:12 am Who is minister’s lee wan ik’s mistress? The actor who steals the gold bar and tries to buy French dresses? Who is she

Guest2 Oct 04 2018 2:18 am After reading so much positives about this drama i just give it a try. its so different from the writer's previous works. Iits fantastic, the storyline, acting of the main leads and the suporting ones are excellent. Mr sunshine beats the the writer's two recent dramas dots and goblins which received a lot of buzz, hands down. No cheesy lines or over the top love scenes which is eun sook's trademark.

Sunshine focus is not just on romantic love between the leads. Iis more about friiendship, patriotism, betrayer, corruption, sacrifiicial love when it comes to crunch.it also gives us int viewers a glimse of this period of korea history.

Its the first time i watch kim tae ri and realise how good she is. the comments i come across about her is her acting rather than her looks. And that is how it shld be. Hope the casts will receive the recognitions they deserve.

Nathaniel O. Oct 03 2018 9:41 pm Simply The Best Korean TV Series I Have Watched. I Have watching Korean TV Series and Movies everyday for Ten long years now.

Best Script Great Casting

Thank you so much for making this TV Drama.

Ang_Gale Oct 03 2018 5:34 am I have reviewed some segments of the last episode several times and are still amazed and cherished by this drama. Unlike the hundreds of dramas I've seen, here the true protagonist is the Hystory created by the characters who lived that sad era. As in Goblin (4 main characters), even here I loved all the five main characters. The cinematography and screenwriter are as brilliant as expected by Lee Eung-Bok and Kim Eun-Sook. The actors are excellent. Each episode is really good, from the first episodes full of hope for a love story, set in a context brighter than the second context, made for most of battles and massacres. From the epic and glorious episodes full of a lot of events, like episode 19, to the last ones with a perfect beautiful sad ending.

I hope that people who have lived so courageously that historical period can be born again and find each other again, as in Chicago Typewriter. At least in our imagination I hope for Eugene Choi and Go Ae-Shin as well.

Bakht Oct 03 2018 4:42 am Usually when i watch saad scens only tears drop frm my eyes but this drama made me cry like a babyy ...

orin Oct 03 2018 1:17 am gun, glory, sad ending

Luna Oct 02 2018 10:19 pm At first, I dont have any interest in this drama. I thought this drama would be a typical cliche drama when I read the title. But when I saw who is the story writer, I decided to watch this one since I love all of her drama story.

I thought this one was really complicated since the first eps, this one showed me a lot of characters. But then when I watched the eps 2, I started to feel the connection between each of them and I finally realize that this drama is amazing. Every actors fit their characters so well. They nailed it.

The bromance between Gu Dongmae, Kim Heeseong and Choi Eugene is perfect. Their love-hate relationship is quite funny but also strong at the same time. The connection for each characters to Go Aeshin are perfect too.

The soundtracks are perfect. The singers are all amazing. And for those who play as japanese, you guys are amazing!!!

This drama score is 100/100!

Mng Oct 02 2018 6:45 pm The most heartbreaking Kdrama I've ever watched. Great job to the cast and production staff!

Diane Oct 02 2018 6:32 pm I allow a lot for artistic license, but I just have to say this. The chances of shooting the pin out of a coupling on a railcar moving at full speed with max tension is so remote, they may as well have had a lightning bolt from heaven knock it out. Just saying. It was a groaner moment.

M. Oct 02 2018 3:12 pm I am the type of person who don't really cry no matter how sad the drama is. The most I cry will two drops of tears but this one literally makes me cry like a baby. And even after I cried, I still can't get over it. Just by seeing the poster make me feel sad. I prepared for all kinds of endings way before the drama end but when it really ended, I couldn't control my emotion. The actors really fit their role. The chemistry is amazing. They don't even kiss once but I can feel the attachment between leads. Just so amazing man. Before I watch this, only Lee Byun Hun is my fav actor. Now I love all the leads. I swear to god if I ever been to Korea, I will go and find Lee Byun Hun before I find those idols. Best drama for 2018 man. If you haven't watched, go and watch now!!!!!

Starry Oct 02 2018 7:25 am THIS IS SPOILER!!!

The train scene.. oh my god.. i almost pass out crying.. my eyes hurts, my heart hurts.. T_T i already accepted that it is indeed a sad ending ending, but then i was too shock since the writer killed all the main character except for Aeshin.. i waz expecting 2 or 1 characters .. but then aaaaaaahhhhhh i dont know.. i wanna watch something comedic korean drama after this.. i got traumatize -_____-

Waving Not Drowning Oct 02 2018 7:23 am Not that a person reincarnates looking like they did in their previous life; that happens in fantasy dramas. But let's say it does; Ae-Sin might appear as the child of Dae-Young and Myeong-Joo in part 2 of "Descendants of the Sun". The actors Jin Goo and Ji Won had played the roles of Ae-Sin's parents.

A different actor might play Eugene Choi but this time let them consummate their love for heaven's sakes—Lol! Oh yea, let Shi-Jin and Mo-Yeon be the parents of the reincarnated Eugene who might even be in the US Marine Corp . . . lol!

Note; Ae-Sin's mother's cousin was played by Ji Seung-Hyun the North Korean in the knife fight at the start of DoTS. And the actress who played Ae-Sin's cousin Ae-Soon appeared in DoTS also, AMONG SEVERAL OTHERS.

All the pieces are there for a second installment of DoTS that blends and continues the Mr. Sunshine saga.

Come on team writer Kim Eun-Sook and director Lee Eung-Bok, make it happen guys. Pretty please!

Carie Oct 02 2018 3:30 am With a hardened heart I managed to finish the drama ( only by skipping the merciless massacre scenes). First, I must say as a foreigner, I was astounded by the A Class acting of the k actors portraying each role( from minor to major). It was as if you are really venturing through 19th century Joseon. Hats off to Kim Eun suk for this eye opening drama and performance.

Moreover, as a foreigner, I never knew that Japan crossed such brutality to Koreans. I remember once in history class, when an English professor was discussing Korean indepenence and Japanese invasion, a Korean student among us stormed off leaving us wondering what happened. But now I understand that past left deep scars on generations.

It really hurt a lot as a fellow sympathiser. Hats off again Mr. sunshine star cast and the freedom fighters.

Geunyang Oct 02 2018 3:08 am This is the most romantic drama without even any single kiss . But the feeling of each characters can describe how much love they had . Absolutely best drama this year .

Diane Oct 02 2018 12:41 am Cinematography will definitely get an award for this drama, and costume design should as well. You could be entertained solely by Kim Min-Jung's dress-of-the-moment! The depiction of the conflicting pressures on Korea at that time, were well done, and the supporting actors had many great performances. Please, a little less ghastly green hues next time, and ease up on the filters and color enhancements a little.

Mhye Oct 01 2018 11:00 pm Such a great series????Cinematography, Acting, Story and Soundtrack! Superb??I hope there is more than 24 episodes.. If you didnt watch it yet.. u better start watching it...!! Korean is such a genius to their storylines!

SPOILER ALERT!!!! Im still not get over to the death of the characters.??but they did it so well in this series.. I love the mute japanese friend of Dong Mae wish she has more parts in this series. But all of the actors & actresses in here did their part so well.. KUDOS to the Mr Sunshine??

Mikki Oct 01 2018 9:19 pm SPOILERS

I cried in the last two episodes it was a sad and glorious ending at the end of the day they wished to die as freemen than being in bondage each cast was amazing each deaths was sad for me I cried like crazy still having headache I’d recommend this drama anyday best for me so far!

Jaycie Oct 01 2018 7:35 pm By far the best drama I've watched... Out of DOTS, Goblin, and Mr. Sunshine, Mr. Sunshine definitely wins for me. The actors portrayed their characters very well and the plot was very enticing because it's based on Korea's history. Honestly speaking, I'm a Japanese American but I feel so much sadness for the Koreans who fought for their country back then against Japan. I hope Japan would offer an apology to Korea soon...

- - - PS. SORT OF A SPOLER *** Why the sad ending?! T__T I was hoping they'd kiss at least once :'( But it was a wonderful drama. So glad I now know about Kim Taeri!

Ryunami Oct 01 2018 5:32 pm I finished a bix of tissue for the final episode; but it im glad we get to see the trio sitting together for their final drinks like old friends

agnes klus Oct 01 2018 2:23 pm what shall i say... hmm .. no words really how beautiful and unique this drama is. watched around 100 already but nothing ,absolutely nothing compare to this one!! Hope all actors (first ,second ,third leads)get best awards and the drama ,not only in Korea but internationally too ! WEstern world should learn how to make movies. not many goood ones as this those days.Epic masterpiece!! 82/100???!!! sorry people.. please give me better Korean drama because i don't believe is there any.

A Fan In Canada Oct 01 2018 2:22 pm SPOILERS!

I bawled my eyes out....watched 2nd time to catch the translations, but could not go back again....

You guys were cruel wiping out all 4 male/female characters plus all others including young kids & the oldest. You just did not have mercy on your viewers....

The Japanese soldiers stood in 2 files to shoot at innocent people as if doing a target practice. Such extreme cruelty is incomprehensible. You guys were brave to produce a show such as this to reveal the history where humanity was destroyed and to alert generations to come. Remind me of the Nanjing Massacre & other courage/sacrifice during the wars.

Sadly, we have not learned the history lessons well as the wars continue on the planet we live; whether or not, cold or hot, trade or physical..........very sad indeed!

My03S2K Oct 01 2018 12:59 pm Epic series. Do recommends this show to everyone, and especially people moved to United States from other countries. The Bill of Right what makes United States a unique country in this world.

Iris Delgado Oct 01 2018 12:26 pm Omg ....I cried so much last episode. When the King cried made me cry too

Rider Oct 01 2018 11:58 am A good tragic stylish historical drama with a top actor ensemble, top director and top writer. But I still felt I was missing the context of it all - why all this effort just to do what seems to be another anti-imperialist anti-Japan story? This story line has already been done in the past - I'm sure this drama probably did not go over well in Japan. And also, why now?

It wasn't til the last episode that it all came together - especially the scenes with the Korean flag. It looked a lot like a Korean version of the great Russian movie - "The Battleship Potemkin" with this message being that the Koreans have to step up and sacrifice in order to save the country - to keep it Korean - they have to trust themselves - and no one else. The message wasn't referring just to Japan - it could have been Russia, China, or the United States - all of whom have had their own desires to carve up Asia.

And the "why now" relates to the current diplomatic efforts going on between North and South Korea - with guess who - Japan, Russia, China, and the United States trying to pull the strings.

Media can be political. If not mistaken, South Korea for years has been throwing over the DMZ thousands of USB's with Kpop, Kdramas, and Kculture in the hopes of showing them what's really out there. And is it a coincidence that North and South Korea seriously began to talk to each other soon after the North attended the big media event known as the Winter Olympics in the South?

It's a stretch - but now I can see why you want your best doing this drama at this time. The question is - did the North see it?

vincent Oct 01 2018 10:18 am SPOILER:

only Go Ae Shin lived. what a sad and good ending haha. this will be engraved in the history of kdrama in terms of story, acting, and cinematography. the 43 billion spent on this kdrama paid it off.

C1 Oct 01 2018 9:23 am Damn why it had to end like that?

Aleli Oct 01 2018 8:47 am I'm broken into pieces ???????????? Why?? Why???? Very cruel to our hearts... How can we move on?????

Migthy Thor Oct 01 2018 5:57 am From the very beginning of this drama I knew the ending would be tragic, because history tells us what happened to the Koreans then. So I have braced myself for a sad ending, but I am so impressed the way the writer gave this tragic drama a positive ending. The deaths of the many Righteous Army fighters and the deaths of the three gentlemen were very inspiring, motivating and meaningful. The ending was full of hope that one bids farewell with a smile and a spirit that can not be trampled. I think any foreigner like me, who gets to watch this drama will love Jeoseon = Korea even more and would have high respect and admiration for the history and people of Korea.

CONGRATULATIONS to the entire team, production, crew, staff and cast of MR. SUNSHINE! You guys did a marvelously wonderful job!

Daniel Lama Lewa Oct 01 2018 5:49 am This drama is a truly masterpiece from Eunsook jagganim. The last episode just made me crayyyy omg (T___T) dunno how i will live my sat&sun without Eugene and Ae Shin. <//3

Some people Oct 01 2018 4:53 am The best drama ever in 2018!! I'm crying and laughing all the time. I will never forget this drama.

Me and my tears Oct 01 2018 4:28 am I'm so sad and heart broken :'( but anyway well done guys!!!!!! What an amazing and great story. Thank you so much for the team production of mr sunshine and absolutely we need to appreciate kim eun sook has made this story such meaningfull and deep. Moreover the actors especially kim tae ri and lee byung hun, you move my heart guys, you made me cry like a baby, well done guys!!!!!

Nadine Oct 01 2018 3:22 am Sad ending :(

nanana Oct 01 2018 2:47 am is this a drama or bucket of onions?? TT now how can i move on from this drama?! i love everything about this drama, really good till it hurts the love story, the spirit of fighting, the actors, the plot, everything is perfectly arranged i really enjoy this drama and i love every minute of this drama

MommyBelle Oct 01 2018 2:41 am The best korean drama so far...

Sandra Oct 01 2018 2:19 am I'm broken. Everything broke me. I can't recover from all the tears, it's an ending I can and can't accept because I truly believed in happy ending but I know it wouldn't fit to the story. The patriotism in the story moved me, the symbolism of how strong and optimistic they were, encourage me to fight for what's right. The romance and comedy were perfectly combine, in a way I was moved. I can't say when will I recover, just as I couldn't recover from Goblin and DOTS but this drama will live as one of my favorites of all time.

jane Oct 01 2018 2:18 am THE LAST EP IS SO DAAMNNN. I CAN'T STOP CRYING!!! Good job for all cast, writer-nim, and staff production.

Olympia Oct 01 2018 1:10 am All characters portrayed in each episode are memorable that you will tell yourself ... eh I saw that .... eh I know that .... and that at the end you remember all as though they never left. That is how I fell in love with this story, it is so real like that I wish I am together with them.

Hiho Oct 01 2018 12:43 am Last episode jut make me cry a river :(

Bing Oct 01 2018 12:21 am I really love this drama series,it made me cried.if this really happen in real life it’s so sad..so upsetting that most all of them died..but I’m one of your pan...so good luck for the next so long to all the casts,love it!!!hope I can watch more like this really good movies or tv series...?????

Sri Lanka Sep 30 2018 11:16 pm Superb Drama

mics mics Sep 30 2018 11:00 pm another scarlet heart :((( sad

Ika Rinjani Ps Sep 30 2018 10:28 pm My tears flowed along as they're leaving :"(

MommyBelle Sep 30 2018 10:10 pm 14 minutes ago This is the saddest drama I've ever watched... The collateral damaged of war is never a joke to mankind... But history is our past be it here in Kdrama world or in our own lives.. This drama surpassed all war history done by Imperialist Japan to mankind... Japan's brutality during WWII left tremendous scars all over Asian countries.. Writernim is so brilliant to showcase this kind of drama for us viewers to see the struggle of one's country in times of war. Big big applause to all who have done their best to give us this worth watching story... Tears kept rolling down my face for some reasons, first I couldn't move on from this epic drama not until a better one would come up and the love between Ae shin and Eugene... Ae shin sacrificed her love for her country and Eugene sacrificed himself for his love for Ae shin... All characters are all well remembered in every role they portray... Dong mae, Heena, Kim Hee sung, we all remember those names.. Thank you so much TVN...More power to produce worthy dramas.

Ikkxxx_ Sep 30 2018 10:03 pm Say goodbye to this epic drama. All cast did great so tht the staffs. Spcl thnks to kim minjung,for accept this role. Gonna miss the way kyle call eugene name. Im sure will support n wait next drama frm kim eunsook writer-nim.

Dian puspitasari Sep 30 2018 9:31 pm I dont think i can watch any drama again on very long time after this..... This drama is too much.....i cant finish it....i am not ready for cry....

Drama Heir Sep 30 2018 9:25 pm Just watch episode 24. What a sour experience. Hee-Sung, Dong-Mae and Eugene are the three amigos no one will ever forget. Its funny how their friendship blossomed with nothing in common at the beginning but they were the same at the end. Love them so much. I still wanted a little more. Like Hee-Sung being mentioned for his writting. People knowing that Dong-Mae was a Korean man after all. Korean fighting back for their freedom. In example, seeing Bo-Mi continuing the writting legacy of Hee-Sung or seeing the slave hunters/merchants/righteous army/ merchants again supplying guns and ammo. If they were going to go with that ending they should of added the ending of the Joseon people since this drama was not a romance drama hence, the sad ending ( they told us it was a sad ending but we didn't listen haha). It was a great story but the ending was lacking. Im sorry.

Yani Sep 30 2018 8:22 pm Nice drama. Great actor/actress. I think some part too bloody. If you are too sensitive of that kind of bloody image think about it, before decide to see it. I didn't spect that end. Surprise ending.

txtlinda Sep 30 2018 7:25 pm War is never pretty and History always hold painful memory. This drama reiterates this and also remind us the unsung heroes who created history.

The captivating story writing, great casts and the cinematography kept me glued to the screen. The romances woven in was subtle and yet heart wrenching. GDM and LYW will remain in my heart for some time.

I really hope this team returns with another drama to keep me glued to the screen.

Christine Yarbrough Sep 30 2018 4:30 pm SPOILERS: Just finished watching the finale in USA. I thought I had it all figured out with Eugene and Ae-Sin living happily ever after on the mountain. So disappointment Eugene died, along with everyone else. I was hooked from the very first episode ...So what about the "Fiction" part? Could the ending have been at least a fictional happy ending. I watched 24 hours of TV for the hero to die - that's painful. Having said that and finally back to reality, all the actors were awesome!!! Great Job!

Brian Karr Sep 30 2018 3:44 pm Timeless! Breath taking cinematography and a love story with heart-felt emotional performances all around by an amazing cast. The soundtrack and script timing is phenomenal and evokes emotions from deep within.

I have searched for one particular soundtrack clip from Episode 23 starting at 56:30 seconds. If this is a complete song and not just a fashioned snippet for the scene please let us know the song name and artist. I would love to own the entire soundtrack!

Suzanne Karlson Sep 30 2018 2:54 pm I just finished watching episode 24 (twice!). Congratulations to everyone involved in this excellent production! It was fantastic and I am so sorry that it has ended! I look forward to more of your work!

wanda Sep 30 2018 2:25 pm loved-seen the 24 today and made me so sad. Hate that you all aren't gonna have season 2. Loved the casts and Eugene. Those two were adorable together. Thank you for amazing series. Will be watching something else with Eugene in it-great actor.

Beverly Sep 30 2018 1:27 pm I haven’t stopped crying yet. Beautiful, beautiful story! I’ll never forget this one.

dreamhigh Sep 30 2018 12:09 pm LBH never failed at his any acting, I love this drama pretty much

Nuna Sep 30 2018 11:30 am The best drama ever. Goodbye. See u again

Sublime Sep 30 2018 10:23 am I love Mr. Sunshine. The acting were superb and the cast were great. Hope to see this being aired in our country. One of the best..

Sea Sep 30 2018 9:52 am I really hate the ending.

Kim Eun Sook is very cruel. Goblin's ending is still better than this

Waving Not Drowning Sep 30 2018 6:18 am Yang-hwa's (Hina) passing is the saddest for me. I cried. I guess I feel for her because in spite of being abused—her body riddled with scars—she remained unscathed by bitter resentment. And she never reconnected with her mother in this life nor received love from Dong-Mae whom she had feelings for till her confession to him, moments before her last breath.

And such uncommon valour Hina showed. The exemplary life of a true noble Joseon woman.

Dong-Mae is not expecting to live past 10 days which is the time he calculated that it will take the news to reach Japan and his old fraternity to arrive in Joseon and take his life. However I think Dong-Mae has allies in Eugene, Ae-Shin and the Righteous Army. I hope he survives.

Llyyy Sep 30 2018 12:14 am The amount of tears n blood in ep 23 is insane,cant wait the last epsd.

phraw panyaworachart Sep 29 2018 9:53 pm I love mr.sunshine , i think great drama all time . Please eugene , go aeshin,dongmae and hee sung don't die .

Drama Heir Sep 29 2018 8:48 pm Oh my, just watched episode 23. I can't, its too much!! That was way too much for me. I've been crying my eyes out! I can't put in words my feelings for this episode. As always, it was a great episode!

Louisiana Viewer Sep 26 2018 2:02 am Fell in love with Korea when I visited there in late 1970s. Found Mr Sunshine by accident, and am very glad that I did. Outstanding cinematography and costuming, and the writers and actors have done such a beautiful job of development of their characters that I have fallen for all of them and am wishing for them all to somehow have happy endings. This is one of those programs that I wish could go on forever.

Sunday Sep 25 2018 10:04 pm @Sonia

According to the notes up there, they aired a special on Sept. 22 and an entertainment program on Sept. 23, so we should get the final episodes on Sept. 29 & 30.

Herk Haston Sep 25 2018 7:28 pm Love the story and all the fantastic actors ! Not a weak are a weak actor, great actors and actresses. Every person character is so appeling!

Sonia Sep 25 2018 8:54 am Does anyone know why they didnt air the finale episodes this weekend?

Pamela sanday Sep 25 2018 8:29 am I hope it will have a happy ending i love them both same with dong mae and hee sung and heena

Luciana Viventi Sep 25 2018 5:37 am Mr. Sunshine is one of the best dramas I've ever seen. I was totally hooked from the first screen shot. It is lavish, the cinematography breathtaking and the range of emotions throughout the episode rival This Is Us. Lee Byung Hun was the reason I started watching and then his chemistry with all the other actors hooked me for good! I hope Eugene and Ae-Sin find each other again and Iive out their lives dedicated to each other and the freedom of Joseon.

TeamDongMae Sep 24 2018 4:34 pm Eugene will die sacrificing himself to prove him a noble man after all in the eyes of Joseon. Aeshin will be broken hearted and continue the fight alongside Dong Mae, financed by Hee Sung.

Margaret Serva Sep 24 2018 12:37 am I love, love, love this series.! Don't want it to end? When does season 2 start? The acting is amazing!

Moon Sep 23 2018 6:16 pm Great drama. I think it's very appealing to the audience, because the characters are well balanced and well represented - both men and women. There is no damsel in distress that needs saving like in most dramas. Here you have both male and female leads that can hold their own - all of them are strong on their own - which is why both guys and girls in the audience can relate, and enjoy this.

Migthy Thor Sep 23 2018 6:06 am OMG! Only now did I realized that Jin Goo and Kim Ji-Won teamed up again, now as husband and wife = father and mother of Go Ae-Shin in episode 1. Their career took a big leap when they played as couple in the very phenomenal Kdrama "Descendants of the Sun!"

Gina Sep 23 2018 4:04 am Thank you Netflix for the shows you are making available for me to see that were produced all over the world. Mr Sunshine is my favorite so far. I am now a fan of all the actors in this series. I want to thank the screen writer and director for making this so fun to watch.I so prefer the decent love and romance of this show over how movies are made in the US. I am referring this to all my friends, even if we all have to read the subtitles. Of course this movie is all fiction and just touches on some historical events. It only encouraged me then to start studying the history of Korea. Like every country it has had its sad times, bad times and happy times. Thank you for helping me to find love of the Korean people. Remember, every life is important.

Kalicher zain Sep 22 2018 7:34 pm The best series of 2018 hands down.... It deserves a grand prize /daesang..... Everything is perfect... A masterpiece really It will leave a huge void when it ends Please I need a happy ending for the 5leads especially lady aeshin and Eugene I would even take an open ending at this point bcoz I have this sick feeling that we are in for a major heart break

ReBeca Sep 22 2018 5:28 pm I can confidently say this drama is waaaay better than goblin /dots... The female leads are bad as.... Everything is beyond perfect I feel blessed to watch this magnificent masterpiece on TV, it deserves a daesang and best acting ,directing and script awards..... Like Koreans should b really proud of it Thanks to the entire production team for the experience Just finished episode 22 and am crying hard for two reasons... 1st I have this sick feeling that we are getting a super sad ending.. I want Eugene n aeshin together soo bad it hurts, infant I don't want any of the 5 leads to die... Pls writter nim b kind 2nd how am I going to move on from this drama? Only 2 episode are left! I

Centilevre Sep 22 2018 4:52 pm The beautiful Kim Sa-Rang missed out on a career-defining role in Hee-Na. Nevertheless, her replacement Kim Min-Jung has given us an unforgettable performance.

Jihye91 Sep 22 2018 3:30 pm There are some comments about Dongmae cutting Aesin's hair off, so I would like to explain..It was said that in korean history a long hair is like korean traditional symbol or better, it is a part of body given from parents. Korean women wear it with pride, so cutting hair off is like punishment and she will live with shame for a long time and can't get rid of it so easily...Dongmae cut her hair off to make her stay at home until her hair grows back to the same length before it got cut off, because if she leaves house, she will face sad, pity or even disgusting views from people....or also hear rumors although rumors about her have already spread after she broke off the engagement with Heesung... SIMPLY, Dongmae cut her hair off in order to protect her so nothing bad will happen to her, since Wan-Ik found out who she is...yeah, that's how love looks like....:-D

rati Sep 22 2018 12:26 pm Its amazing kdrama....hopefully not sad ending...but if i can ,i wanna give 99,99% vote best to this drama..actor actrees and another player its so great..chemistry about two player,mr and mrs uegene give me inspiration how to love my fiance...very romantic and hot without kiss(xxx)..finally its a great..from indonesian fans

Waving Not Drowning Sep 22 2018 10:58 am This drama sets the bar pretty high for any other Korean drama to reach.

willowmoon Sep 22 2018 9:33 am no mr. sunshine this weekend!!!! oh no my days will be so gloomy!!! huhuhuhu...I cant wait for another week!! my waiting for this day is wasted!!

willowMoon Sep 22 2018 9:31 am I cant wait for episode 29!!!! who will have a sad ending?! oh I hope the 5 of them will live happily ever after!! if it does Mr. Sunshine will be my top one in my all favorite drama list!!!

Wendy Ashby Sep 21 2018 4:38 pm We live in Canada, are Canadians, Caucasian and seniors. We love Mr. Sunshine and we are going to be so sad when it is over. We can't seem to get enough of Lee Byung-Hun and his co-stars. These are beautifully written. We are not used to this kind of drama and romance and we can't get enough of this heart felt show. Please do more Lee Byung-Hun. We are absolutely hooked on the Korean shows and series. More, More and More we ask. Thank you for showing us how romance and drama can be played out instead of having all the sex and gory bloodshed. The way this has been written is truly a work of a genius in this day and age.

Texan Tina Sep 21 2018 1:53 pm I normally don't care to watch shows/movies with subtitles (I need English) only because I have eye problems, however I am hooked on this series. I have just one question ... The English Title..... Mr Sunshine? I'm I missing something in the Korean to English translation OR is it sarcasm because the main character is anything but sunny. I watch for the few moments when Eugene cracks half a smile.

MGovern Sep 21 2018 12:12 am There's no reason why Ae-Shin and Eugene shouldn't live. Their characters are fictional after all. That said, the lyrics to the first OST suggests otherwise.

Waving Not Drowning Sep 21 2018 12:05 am @Drama Heir I don't see it as hypocrisy. Lord Go was responding to a social protocol concern when he admonished both of them. In so far as Joseon social etiquette goes, he was totally in the right.

His ask of Eugene and Dong-Mae was based on the understanding that they both care for Ae-Shin and are Joseon born. Given the country is about to be annexed by Japan, Lord Go was appealing to their humanity. He wasn't looking to trade conjugal relations with his grand daughter, rather to channel their predilections and national identity in a positive way. His assignment for Eugene was for Joseon's sake.

Hana Sep 20 2018 10:53 pm Episode 22 or perhaps ep 21... I think Song Young said something about Lady Ae-sin's father and mother will meet again in better day of Korea... And guess what? Lady Ae-sin's father and mother are indeed meet again in the future which aired on Descendants of the Sun... What twists of event... No wonder it used Descendent... I was so confused for a moment there

Moonie Sep 20 2018 10:25 pm Noooooo Mr. SUNSHIME this weekend.. aaaaarrghh!!

Drama Heir Sep 20 2018 6:00 pm Spoilers - Spoilers - Spoilers - Spoilers - Spoilers - Spoilers

I am so mad at Lord Go. When he first learned of Ae-sin's love for Eugene and then learnt he was born a slave, he rejected him because of his status. But now he needs something from him and Dong-Mae and he ask them for help. So hyprocrite. I am so mad at the cruel old man (Eugene's words). How dare he judges and has prejudice against them and then asks for help. Ughh. Ae-sin has been using everybody for her cause. I understand the importance of trying to save Josean but the way she used Eugene to get to Japan and also when the Righteous Army goes to Dong-Mae to ask for a favor after theyve been so bad with him. I mean they shot him and wanted him to die. They are so shameless to comeback and ask for a favor because they know of his feeling towards Ae-sin and are takig advantage. Even Ae-sin pointing a gun at him is so shameless because all that guy has done is protect her. At the end of the day I understand because its the story and for a greater cause saving Korea.

RB Sep 19 2018 12:14 pm Karen, those were the words in english Ae shin first said to her english teacher I think there is a riddle we must solve

I must say it is a very moving story.. specially for Eugene

He could bê very racional on his decisions but he didn t manage to bê racional about going on with his life jeopardizing all he conquered in america

Karen Sep 19 2018 6:51 am Who watch eh last trailer??? Special. Gun and sad ending.... Whyyy... why sad ending...

Lisa Walden Sep 18 2018 7:19 pm This amazing series has universal appeal. I should know, I am an African-American woman and enjoy well-made films and series and Mr. Sunshine is one of the best creations of the 21st century. From the luscious cinematography to the original storyline to the absolutely first class acting, Mr. Sunshine is complete entertainment that gives viewers a sense of an important segment of Korean history and the human lives affected during its timeframe. Kudos to director Lee Eung-Bok and casting department for choosing great actors such as Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-ri, Yoo Yeon-sook, Byun Yo Han and Kim Min Jung. An equally strong supporting cast of McInnis David, Choi Moo Sung, handsome Yoon Joo-man, and every single character in the show. This is a poignant and important series that will stay with the viewer for many, many years.

A Fan In Canada Sep 18 2018 5:30 pm Well...all the fans out there, want to play? If I were the writer, how do I end this story......

Eugene & Ae-Shin - Will live just to satisfy all the fans with a happy ending. After all, it is a Korean production.

Doug Mae - Love him, will live since he has 9 lives Hee-Na - Love her, a great actress, will live to sustain the "emerging women power"

Hee-Sung - I think he is handsome....but someone must die to be a tearjerker

Eun San - He will die as a hero in Korean history

Haman-Daek - What a kind, witty & loyal lady maid. She will live

Well, what do you think? Join me, just for fun...

Iron ThundeR Sep 18 2018 4:37 pm Keep this going please, great job!

Nick Carey Sep 18 2018 1:56 pm This is an excellent series. The 5 principal actors are all very good and convincing and, in particular, I am admiring the performances of Kim Tae-Ri and Lee Byung-Hun. It's a touching love story. For an English viewer, it's also most informative of the Japanese role in Korea and the somewhat dubious role of the US. Quite courageous of the Writer, Director and financial backers, as I am sure the Japanese will not wish to be reminded of this piece of history. Most of all, I have learnt of the continuing sorrow of Korea and the passion of its people

JB Sep 18 2018 1:52 pm Fantastic cinematography. A visual poem. Excellent acting, directing, scenery, and costumes. A truly artistic project. Thank you to Screenwriter Kim Eun-Sook and director Lee Eung-Bok

Riva Sep 18 2018 12:52 pm A special ? Who knows maybe they decided to change the sad ending ?

Anyway.. beautifully realized

I loved every minute of it

Grace Sep 18 2018 8:33 am Noooo. Were is my 23th episode. On 22th September we have just a special? No. Just no.

Skylark Sep 18 2018 4:57 am Honestly, this drama is addictive, truly addictive. It's like being bind in to a spell once you watch it. It's totally amazing!!!

Pamela Sep 18 2018 2:03 am This is the 1st Korean drama I have ever watched because I usually don’t watch shows where you have to read subtitles. But I could tell Mr. Sunshine was worth watching. It’s brilliantly made, & the acting is superb! One minute I’m crying, then smiling then yelling for the rebel army! Although I’m anxious to see the last 2 episodes, I hate to see the story come to an end! Would be great if there was a season 2!! In case there isn’t, I hope Eugene and Go Ae-Shin end up getting married & don’t die fighting w/resistance. Also I hope Kim Hee-Sung, Hee-Na & Goo Dong-Mae survive the Japanese and find some happiness. Ep 22 had us thinking Dong-Mae had died, although I was hoping by some miracle, he survived. The guy has 9 lives! It was so sad but heroic when Seung-Goo sacrificed himself. Even Hee-Na had enough & sacrificed her Glory Hotel to take out a good portion of Japanese army!! Go girl!

Thanks to Kim Eun-Sook & Lee Eung-Bok for bringing this story to the screen!

A Fan in Canada Sep 17 2018 3:55 pm Wow...after the next 2 episodes, wonder what else I want to watch with such a feverish passion. It has been a "longing" looking forward to Sat & Sun for the follow-ups. I will watch again & again; introduction, shakehands, hug, longing.....& "I love you" finally last week! What a romance & heart wrenching love. Have never watched Korean TV/movie with subtitles before, but now love it so much that I actually consulted with Mr. Google for the history of Korea.

I will travel to Korean in my next vacation. Excellent show & thanks for the TV journey

nom Sep 17 2018 9:58 am how can i move on from this drama? (T_T) even goblin took me a month!!

The Watcher Sep 17 2018 1:48 am I don't like this drama. How can this drama be so rude? Mixing my feelings. I feel like dying, crying, angry in one moment. And there's no preview for the next eps in the end of the episodes. how dare are they, not putting the preview? and i hope Dong-mae can realize his fate is kudo hina, like please. their chemistry is wow.

And one more thing. Goddamn Please I Need A Happy Ending For Every Characters!. It's enough with the death of Shooter Jang!

Drama Heir Sep 16 2018 11:27 pm Just saw episodes 21 & 22 . I can't deal with it anymore. Its so intriguing and fascinating at the same time. I get a mini heart and panic attack on each episode. Ive cried, laughed and unintentional fallen in love with every character. The scenery is magnificent. The directing is outstanding. The acting is superb. But the writing, oh my, the writing is so much more than excellent. I love the main couple and their tragic love story. However, the writers execute the 2nd leads so well that they feel like main leads. In fact, I believe that there is no second leads and all of them are first leads. Their backgroud their stories is amazing how they're portrayed and its the magnificent story telling that makes is so great and marvelous. Kudos to every single person that is involved in this great drama. Congratulations!!

Cathy Sep 16 2018 7:26 pm This has been a beautifully crafted story reflecting the loss of innocence of the characters and the country they love so profoundly. I applaud the beautiful woven tapestry of the story and dialog written by Kim Eun-Sook. You have paid homage to the culture, etiquette and discreet understanding between such well developed and intriguing characters. Your characters brought us laughter, heartbreak, hope and fear. To engage an audience so deeply illustrates your incredible talent. The director, Lee Eung-Bok, has created such magnificent scenes, performances, and memorable images. Kudos to the cinematographer, costume designer and set designers. You have taken us on such a significant journey with your pacing, editing, and bringing out the best in each of the cast. Your casting has been spot on. Each actor relates their story in such a unique way that they bring such honor to the real freedom fighters who fought so hard for their country. To tackle such a profound time in Korea's history with such respect, I am so grateful that you brought this to an international audience. Thank you....

Dian puspitasari Sep 16 2018 6:18 pm Please be happy ending...please be happy ending....

SUN-SUN Sep 16 2018 5:46 pm That scene when Ae-shin's uncle told her that her parents years later in this better Joseon, will recognize each other and fall in love again...awww, they found each other and became soldiers as Myung joo and Dae young from Descendants of the Sun!!! Im so happy.. i dont know why, but this drama is really the best!! Writer-nim always be my favorite drama writer!!

Rosie Sep 16 2018 8:22 am This has been my favorite drama of all! Awesome cast, thrilling, historical, romantic, dramatic... All main actors were Grrreat! Thank you Lee Byung-Hun, Kim Tae-Ri, Yoo Yeon-Seok,Kim Min-Jung and Byun Yo-Han for your very real acting! You brought to life your characters! Thank you producers, Director and all cast for an wonderful drama. Thank you for epic production, beautiful costumes and beautiful settings. Loved every minute! I am sure I will watch it again and again!

sandriangem Sep 16 2018 4:09 am Watching this drama makes me laughed, cried at excited. Highly recommended, I really like the story. Lee Byung Hun is very handsome. I like the way he speaks english. Hope this will be a happy ending. Thanks for the story Kim Eun Sook, From Secret Garden I always love to watch your drama.

Aleli Sep 16 2018 3:36 am Every episode heartbreaking ?, i dont wanna end this drama.. Because it's hard to move on. Definitely ill watch it over and over again.

Cons Sep 16 2018 1:49 am I wish this series will not end. I love everything in it! I cried, laughed and was amazed all throughout! Very well-done! Please do not let it end yet.

Sheng Sep 15 2018 11:26 pm This drama drives me crazy.

Robin North Sep 15 2018 7:58 pm At the last episode (#20) I began to drown in a deep drama-land despair. But then I came up for air when in episode #21, Ae-Shin puts the ring on Eugene's finger and tells him she loves him, that she was always in love with him.

It's a well written and well-directed scene. It captured the feeling one gets when faced with the possibility of never seeing a loved again as one prepares to battle the enemy. The confession of love comes from deep within.

I can breathe.

I'm reassured and I'm heartened by Ae-Shin's decision to stay and fight for her people even if it is all futile, it's righteous. Eugene's name was added to the list of resistance fighters by Takashi Mori and perhaps that might put him at odds with the US legation in Japan.

Suzanne Karlson Sep 15 2018 6:29 pm I just want everyone involved in the production of Mr. Sunshine to know how wonderful this series is! The actors are awesome and I am learning something about Korean history!

Suzanne Boston, MA USA

RB Sep 15 2018 3:10 pm The trailer for ep 22 is heartbreaking.. actually the whole story is heartbreaking. I think we were all hoping for a “not so sad” end. I loved the serie, it’s very well produced. And there is so much energy when Eugene and Ae Sin are together. Funny enough they rarily touch each other. And made me get interested somehow in Ásia history. I root for all of them but especially for Eugene and Ae Sin after so much hurt they been through.

creeyyy Sep 15 2018 1:37 pm the trailer for episode 22 hurt my hearts, what happen with eugene thooo, i hope he is alright :(

Claire Sep 15 2018 1:47 am I love this drama so much, even though I'm only at episode 9. Where can I begin? The interactions between the American-Joseon man, the Japanese-Joseon man and the Handsome Joseon man are sooooo cute and endearing. But it is also mind boggling because they have reasons to hate and kill each other, but are somehow pulling themselves back because they see some friendship value in each other? And I hate where this is going because I /KNOW/ our love for these 3 and seeing them hate each other and tear each other apart is going to stab our hearts :( Sometimes I even find myself wishing there was no female lead to begin with and we're left to see how these 3 men live their lives...

I say all this but I am really loving the romance too. The female lead is SO STRONG, and probably one of my favourite female leads to date. I love seeing her with Eugene, they are both so upfront about their feelings and really cute. HOWEVER. HER! RELATIONSHIP! WITH! DONG MAE! The intensity and tension just BURNS ME ALIVE. I don't know if its because Dong Mae is just irresistibly hot and broody or the appeal of a forbidden love... I can already sense a bad ending for Dong Mae but I can't help but root for him still... This drama is so bad for my heart...

Anyway, I'm so glad I found this gem. I've been having kdrama drought for a while now, not having many kdramas that satisfy me as much as I want them to. I hope more dramas with great acting, pacing, detail, cinematography, plot and script like Mr. Sunshine are created.

Susi minton Sep 14 2018 8:10 pm I love, love , love this show. The story is beautiful, I love all the characters. Can’t wait to see the last two episodes, will there be more!

Bakht Sep 14 2018 3:48 pm In love with Gu Dong Mae ....And the drama is lit as expected .

Lyn Sep 13 2018 3:25 pm Eugene better not die I cried last Sunday when she dumped him and he said to her he will die if he can't see her this better than the Notebook but I don't see how she stay in Korea when the Japanese take over she should go with Eugene

Kororo Sep 13 2018 2:48 am Still praying for a happy ending!!!

Drama Heir Sep 12 2018 10:53 pm I think it was ep 19 where Eugene said that this story had no happy ending so I think they are just getting us prepared for an unforgettable ending.

I Love Gu Dong Mae!!??

Epi Sep 12 2018 7:21 pm 24 episodes? At least, phew its not only 16.

Hanii Sep 11 2018 6:02 pm Its going to end soon. I dont want this drama to end. I'm going to cry. T_T please let them have a happy ending.

MEi Sep 11 2018 2:08 am I want to see Go dong mae hace a happy ending :)

Olympia Sep 10 2018 8:51 pm The meeting between EC and AS Scenic beautiful but sad Eugene angers ... Really the script written and the words uttered are a class of it's own. LBY great acting I keep on rewatching this part.

Eun Sep 10 2018 7:48 pm I have a secret crush on Gu Dong mae's right hand man, Yoojo. (>/////<) he's hot..

Ronalen Camacho Sep 10 2018 7:43 pm I love the story so far!! Its so nice that i'm not into historical dramas but now, i'm too addicted on this one. I cant wait to see the ending. the story kind of reminds me of the Philippine history, like KKK Katipunan, Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio- thingy, but of course, our country doesnt have a king. :) the Koreans suffered a lot from the Japanese same in the Philippines.

Heddie Sep 10 2018 6:36 pm For the sake of those who haven’t watch yet, I don’t want to spoil but cried both in the last two episodes. You’ll be furious and sad, not sure but maybe that’s just me..

Go Dong Mae - freaking handsome!! He literally owns every scene he’s on.

CNR Sep 10 2018 12:21 pm Very impressed, overall, with this drama. Such a rare period to be focusing on that it is refreshing to me. As a critic concerning ethic origins of actors and they're portrayal of characters (from any studio, and as an American, I note a lot of it), it isn't quite as convincing though when the person portrayed isn't of that ethnicity. McInnis is one. I'm aware of his USA birthplace, though he is 50/50 Korean/white so looking at him in the show isn't completely convincing. The blue eyes helped. The Koreans that play Japanese is another example. Albeit, Japanese actors most likely wouldn't want to act in this show, considering the vicious nature in which they're portrayed later on (not saying the portrayal of Japanese soldiers in this period is right, wrong, correct, incorrect, etc). Also, a few of the white actors portraying Americans weren't completely convincing, either. The school teacher seemed to have a little bit of some kind of accent... But, thinking about Korean drama in general, this one had a pretty impressive budget, quite demanding cast and extra needs, really enjoyable cinematography, and a decent plot. Most of the acting is solid. As Koreans are the focused audience, this show probably hit them hard with a lot of dazzle! As an American, I'm still surprised in a pleasant way with it and have been greatly enjoying it--despite little things I nitpick apart. Eugene is a fascinating character. Maybe this show will bring about some discussion and renewed interest in this sadly almost forgotten and understudied area in history. Despite whatever the end may be, well done with this drama!

Man of Sun Sep 10 2018 9:37 am I think the ending will be bittersweat again like previous author work, they will meet again in 1945. After the "Littleboy" and "Fatman" do their work.

no matter how bad all the good actors suffer I hope they live?

Minmin Sep 10 2018 8:56 am Wow this drama is getting more interesting after putting that Mori guy .. gosh, i want to kill him myself..

Dian puspitasari Sep 10 2018 7:56 am Please...be happy ending.....please

The Watcher Sep 10 2018 6:08 am Damn. Trust me. I'm so ready for the sad ending. If i'm not mistaken the next eps preview, Ae-shin will come with Eugene but then she leave him because she can't leave her country in chaos. And she promised Eugene that she'll come back if Joseon already in peace. I don't know if it's wrong tho, but damn i still rooting for EuShin's happy ending at least.

B Sep 10 2018 12:46 am Ae-Shin is really cruel! I hope she clarifies to Eugene that she deceived him about the destination not because she doesn't trust him, but because she figured he would not help her because of how much danger she would be in.

B Sep 10 2018 12:44 am @the watcher - even after the attack on the Go family Mori went to the court to complain about Gunner Jang. The only way it makes sense is if Japan is totally confident that Korea is unable to protect itself. That's why all of the Korean defenders are basically outlaws and Emperor Gojong has to assign people to fight Japan in secret. I'm guessing that if Korea made the war official then the entire country would have been destroyed. What doesn't make sense though is why they attacked the Go family like they did. Lee Wan-Ik had set in motion the beginning of a non bloody take over starting with the destruction of the family, without force being needed. Mori clearly wanted to antagonize some people to draw them out, but it seems to have backfired, even though the takeover eventually succeeds.

Lee Seohwa Sep 09 2018 11:10 pm Looks like Dongmae have took Hee Sung’s wig from Six Flying Dragons xD

Honey ko Sep 09 2018 9:14 pm It’s the best Korean drama in 2018. I enjoy and love it. It deserves to have a grand prize for the whole drama !!!

Pedro Enamorado Sep 09 2018 9:06 pm @Chae Won, Any thoughts on why it's called Mr. Sunshine?

Lily Sep 09 2018 12:36 pm Sigh..just

20

Gigi Sep 09 2018 12:31 pm My heart hurts.....

Caroline Sep 09 2018 4:48 am A lot of things not making sense in this drama, sometimes frustrated me and make me wonder if I should bother keep watching, I think I keep watching because dong Mae looked too cool.

Pamela Sep 09 2018 4:10 am This is the 1st full Korean drama I have ever watched & it’s one of the best dramas I have ever seen in any nationality!! The acting is superb! Story is sad & even more so that it’s based upon true story. I am hoping Lee Wanik’s character along w/the Japanese Colonel are killed in the next episode!!! It will be Justice if Lady Go Ae-shin is the one who takes him out! It was so sad to see Haman killed but noble of Kim Hee Sung to finally step up. It will be interesting to see how Eugene & Goo Dong Mae work together to protect their love interest, Go Ae-Shin & hopefully fulfill her Grandfather’s wishes as well as their own agenda. With only 3 episodes left hate to see it come to an end! Will there be a Season 2?

Spoiler (?) Sep 09 2018 12:18 am PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT WATCH EP 19 YET

I just watched episode 19!! And it's giving me a lot of goosebumps!!! I want Mori and Wan Ik die!! I am cursing them whenever they pop on my screen!!

I just gonna share all of my random thoughts regarding this ep.

Go Sang Ho just appointed Eugene to kill the Japanese. Dong Mae was appointed to protect Ae Sin no matter what. (Which I think DM will do without Go Sang Ho's order)

What I want to say is that now that Dong Mae has to protect Ae sin.. Does this mean he will die for Ae Sin? But at least give him justice. Please before he dies (if ever he will) let Ae Sin sincerely appreciate all of his deeds. My heart is in pain whenever I think of what might happen to Dong Mae.

And I was shookt.

Huiseong''s scene at the end of the episode almost gave me a heart attack. Dont die, just yet. I want to see a happy ending for you as well.

Thinking that it is ending soon gives me a lot of heartbreak. This drama is sooooooooo perfect. I want more episodes!!

Kim Tuy Nguyen Sep 08 2018 11:44 pm I don’t know about history of korea in the 1900s. But I love this drama so much. Do not criticize it because it is just a creative drama not follow all the truth. It deserves to be the best Korean drama of the year 2018!!!

The Watcher Sep 08 2018 5:38 pm Always wondering bout this. They always has a lot of chances to kill Lee wan-ik, but why they didn't do it? And now this, ep19 making me go insane for real. How dare Mori kill Joseon peeps but still not declare as a war? i'm too uneducated for this shit

Rb Sep 08 2018 1:23 pm Chae Won, now, after this insight, I have to watch all over again with different eyes!!! ? Judeu cristian!!! Never crossed my mind... have to check that

Cii Sep 08 2018 12:52 pm Mori n wanik almost make me curse them 19th ep is .... Idk what to say, cruel perhaps How abt the rest epsds

Robin North Sep 08 2018 12:15 pm Just watched #19. OMG!!!

Chae Won Sep 08 2018 6:09 am I think it has to said that through his association with Ae Shin, Eugene's character began to change. He was becoming the noble man that Ae Shin had assumed he was.

Eugene remarked that Ae Shin takes after her grandfather: "I have always wondered who taught you to be such a wonderful person."

So in his own pursuit of truth as a Confucian scholar, grandfather Go's endeavour touched those beyond his own community.

I'm left pondering how much Confucius contributed to the creation of this drama. I can see the Buddhist and Judeo-Christian traditions that underpin the ethics, the moral framework and social sub-structures of South Korean society. Confucianism plays a part but to what degree I know not. All I can say is; I for one am grateful to the work of the people behind this production, people whose characters were unwittingly shaped by the sacrifices of their ancestors.

Aparis Sep 08 2018 3:35 am I wonder if there would have a family link between Ae Sin and Hee Na. Sistres or cousins

elle Sep 07 2018 2:34 pm The person putting pistol to Dong Mae is T Mori, the Japanese soldier, not Eugene. The uniform has a sleeve with gold with 3 black bands around it, Eugene's uniform sleeves are simply black with a row of buttons.

Chae Won Sep 07 2018 1:02 pm The safest place for Ae Shin is at the American Legation. The compound is as safe as an American embassy. Will she move there eventually? Lol! If she does, it'd be shortlived.

By 1905, Joseon becomes a protectorate of Japan and by 1910 Japan had annexed the country. In those few short years, more than 17,000 Koreans perished resisting the Japanese.

Eugene will no doubt play a role in the resistance along with Lady Ae Shin. Much as I like to see them move to the US and return in 1945, I don't see Ae Shin agreeing to go down that path while her countrymen fight for their freedom.

@Centilevre, The one Dong-Mae flipped was Colonel Takashi Mori.

Chae Won Sep 07 2018 8:58 am @The Watcher: ". . . still no kiss scene." I'd be surprised if there is to be a kiss scene and I do not mind if they don't show one at all. Lol!

". . . Dong-mae flip Eugene and makes Eugene looks weak" I believe it was Colonel Takashi Mori that Dong-Mae flipped. The uniform is that of a Japanese officer and the pistol looked like a Luger. The handgun that Eugene pulled on Hee-Sung's parents was an "1858 Remington Revolver". So that was not Eugene that pulled a gun Dong-Mae and got humiliated.

Centilevre Sep 07 2018 6:39 am @The Watcher - If that was Eugene that Dong Mae judo flipped, the pistol held to Dong Mae's face was not used by the Marines, but was issued to Japanese soldiers as was the uniform of Dong Mae's attacker Japanese.

sera Sep 06 2018 10:52 pm I'm watching behind the scenes and lee byung hun seems to be more charming in real life than his character.

The Watcher Sep 06 2018 9:17 pm The next eps previews is like the changing of ships. How Dong-mae flip Eugene and makes Eugene looks weak (which means he can't protect Ae-shin) and Dong-mae is the real one who can protect Ae-shin. Still, i'm rooting for Eugene and Ae-shin. Their love story is so sad. It's ep18 and still no kiss scene, it's just so sad. Everything about Eugene and Ae-shin is so sad. It's just they are not fated to be together, and even if they are together, most people againts their odd relationship. Damn sad.

jestine29 Sep 06 2018 2:56 am in the end I think the one who ends up with Ae-Sin is NO ONE. I believe she will fight and die alongside Eugene. For Gu Dong-Mae, he will make the ultimate sacrifice and Hui-Seong will be the one to tell the world of their lives and how they have fought for a better Joseon.

Janette O'Byrne Sep 05 2018 1:52 am Lee Byung-Hun has so much charisma in this drama. I now understand why he is one of the most in demand Korean actor in the world. But the actor that strikes me the most in Mr Sunshine is Yoo Yeon-Seok. I mostly saw him in Warm & Cosy and Dr Romantic but this role, really has matured him and brought out the best of his acting. Flower boy no more. Here he is a man and super sexy! That Japanese yakuza costume really suits him. Kim Tae Ri's character is also an unusual one and Kim Tae Ri acted it very well, from her dead-pan expression to her directness and no nonsense attitude. Very different from most female characters of KDrama (either insanely naive or insanely insane). The writers have done really well with the dialogue especially the interaction between the three male characters.

Leslie Franken Sep 04 2018 6:25 pm I love this show so much! It has made me fall in love with Korean television. I think all three men who love Ae-Shin are so amazing. I love the humor as well. I only wish I spoke Korean (and Japanese) so that I could pick up on the subtleties and caste-level language variations that I miss by relying on the translations. The music and the love Ae-shin and Eugene Choi feel for each other is so pure it hurts! :)

So glad Goo Dong-Mae lived through the shooting. He is so flawed, yet I am rooting for him to find fulfillment.

Sydney Sep 04 2018 6:33 am @ChaeWon @Carmen interesting exchange guys. Thanks! I'm Team Dong Mae by the way ?

SQ2 Sep 03 2018 10:17 pm @Chae won, thank you for explaining the reason for the Koreans' petitions! I wasn't able to find any articles (in English) that explained the detailed reasons for their complaints. It sounds like they are being very offensive by choosing to make Dong Mae look noble for the purpose of entertainment. I don't understand the purpose of distorting the truth and diminishing the crime against the queen.

Chae Won Sep 03 2018 9:20 pm @CARMEN — In so far as Goo Dong-Mae is one of three male characters that have ostensibly developed a bond between one another, despite the apparent animus in their banter, yes, I believe I am rooting for Goo Do-Mae. However, I don't think I can ignore the historical fact that the character that Go Do-Mae represents was insanely ruthless and morally reprehensible.

CARMEN Sep 03 2018 7:28 pm @Chae Won Thank you for your insight. Are you by any chance rooting for Goo Dong-Mae? What I love most about Mr. Sunshine is its unpredictability. It has kept me wondering and guessing and waiting week after week.

B Sep 03 2018 7:19 pm @questions about hair - I found out he did it because noble women are never supposed to cut their hair and it is a huge stigma. He is trying to protect her by forcing her to stay on her property. Obviously he doesn't know Ae-Shin that well as I doubt that will have much impact on her doing what she wants to do.

Chae Won Sep 03 2018 6:33 pm @CARMEN — I'm speculating that he cut her hair as a tactical move to force a neccessary change in Ae-Shin's situation, in particular, the status of her relationship with Captain Eugene Choi. Ae-shin's grandfather being the main object of his manipulation.

I could be wrong. But if I'm right, I'm hoping Ae-Shin would see it as well, for if she doesn't, Goo Do-Mae's days in the land of the living would be numbered.

Jona Sep 03 2018 12:26 pm @B they’re commenting on the way his name is said. In reverse order with the Americanized pronunciation of Choi. Which is said like Cho Hee in two syllables. That’s not the way you pronounce it in Korean. So when he introduces himself they heard Yoo Jin Cho Hee. Which sounds like two Korean first names without a surname.

karen reynolds Sep 03 2018 8:30 am why did goo dong mae cut ae-shin hair off at the end of epsoide 17?

CARMEN Sep 03 2018 4:47 am What is the significance of Gu Dong-mae cutting a woman's (name withheld for viewers who have not watched Episode 18) hair without her consent? Does it symbolize 'ownership'?

B Sep 02 2018 2:55 am When Eugene introduces himself as the drill instructor, why are the students surprised he has two first names? Is it because it is uncommon outside of Korea to have two first names?

Ssuuu Sep 02 2018 2:12 am Getting darker n uneasy #ep17 Still love it

Kshowlove Sep 02 2018 12:58 am This drama would have been if sword fights are done swiftly. Why we don’t get a full body shots of the fight?

Chae Won Sep 01 2018 1:34 am @SQ2 — A Japanese gang of swordsmen thugs broke into the palace where Queen Min (Empress Myeongseong) was sleeping and savagely murdered her. Dong Mae's gang represents those historical thugs, but the drama had made him appealing to the audience who sees that Dong Mae's drew his blade on those who had violated an ethic or were cruel to others—the women who had mistreated his mother; two men who dared to impugn Ae-Shin's honor. So, for romanticising the Japanese thugs, the petition was justified IMO.

SQ2 Aug 30 2018 11:16 pm Also, can anyone tell me what the "historical inaccuracies" supposedly are? Remember the controversy about this drama, the petition that Koreans signed asking the government to get involved because the drama was inaccurate and made Dong-Mae sympathetic? I don't know anything about this time period, and I'm wondering what's factual?

SQ2 Aug 30 2018 11:14 pm Episodes 15 & 16 have been my favorites so far. The series was beginning to bore, and I didn't watch these until this Thursday because the characterization was lacking. Things are coming together better now, and for the first time I felt like the characters had depth. Ae-Shin was so pretty running through the woods toward Eugene. What a beautiful scene. I think I'm right about characters surviving to resist the Japanese. Hee-Sung's printing in Hangul absolutely must be foreshadowing his involvement. I think Dong-Mae is safe at least until the end too because he must have a role as someone connected to Japan. Don't ever believe what the previews show--they're edited perfectly to increase your anxiety and make you watch next week.

B Aug 30 2018 10:53 pm @Chae Won - I am not positive but I assumed the mountain he wanted was the one his parents were buried at.

Sherlock Aug 30 2018 4:45 pm Epic! I've just started watching the first few episodes on Netflix and I am hooked. Everything in it is perfect. Considering that it is a drama, the attention to detail is unsurpassed.

Acting is superb. Without doubt one cannot fault acting from the seasoned actors like Lee Byung Hun and Yoo Yeon Seok. Tae Ri, Min Jung, Yo Han all deserve praises too; and the supporting casts moreso as without them, Mr Sunshine won't be whole.

I am complimenting as if the drama has already finished. As I have watched so far, things would only get better.

Well done to the writer and director. I salute you all!

P.S. Keeping fingers crossed that the three-some, although going different paths, would all survive till the end.

Olympia Aug 28 2018 9:41 pm This is one drama where the antagonizing males said out loud "apa" (it hurts). Writernim daebak.

Chae Won Aug 27 2018 10:09 pm I think in their efforts to counter the Japanese advance on their power structure, Joseon's approach according to the drama, was reactive when it should have been pre-emptive.

It is good to see Captain Eugen Choi finally taking the position of drill instructor at the Royal Military Academy albeit not without haggling for a mountain to clinch the deal. A mountain where I suspect he wants to build a homestead, and plant around it, the flowers his mother had said she'd like to be reincarnated as. So sweet.

However, in just a few years Japan will annex Korea. So the likelihood of a peaceful life on that mountain for a Marine come drill instructor at the Royal Military Academy, is not good.

The Japanese printed money worthless anywhere else but inside Joseon, in a scheme to syphon off the nations wealth into Japan's coffers thus taking control of the nation. As history would have it; they succeed. But not without some resistance over the three decades that they ruled Korea.

So, in the end, will Eugene stay and fight with the Righteous Army? Or will he—after grandfather Go's passing—take Ae Shin back to America? Ae Shin will be in her early 60's and Eugene will be 70'ish when the Japanese rule ends.

Barney Sifuentes Aug 27 2018 8:25 pm There are a few foreign films that I have seen from time to time which are captioned in the English language. I will admit that Mr. Sunshine is by far the best foreign film that has captured my attention. I am at this point well committed to seeing it to the end. I have not missed the first 16 episodes and I can't even imagine how it will all end. This is a well directed series in that it reminds us of the tragedies to the lower classes during that period in time and how one person from such sad and tragic beginnings found the strength to rise above it all. Needless to say, I'm rooting for both Captain Choi and Lady Ae-Shin. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

Yeon Rin Aug 27 2018 9:40 am Don't let Dong Mae die, please author-nim.. ?? I hope the trio can still alive for the end.. ??

Trio Fanboy Lover Aug 27 2018 4:19 am Writer-nim please let all main characters still alive till the end. Especially Trio Fanboy, I hope they had an happy ending. This is really best drama among your works. The story was not all about romance but also political issue and others. Love a lot how it made us laugh then cry in every moments. Btw, did Dongmae badly hurt for next episode? I hope not (TT) I know it will make no sense at all, but I ship Dongmae with Hotaru uWu

Lily Aug 25 2018 12:09 pm Cant wait for ep 16 ?

CHRISTINE GOMEZ Aug 23 2018 11:03 am i love this drama so much. Lee Byung Hun is one of my favorite actors. I'm surprised by the on screen chemistry of Lee Byung-Hun and Kim Tae ri but i am more surprised by the "bromance" of Yu-jin / Dong mae / Hee-sung... Oh i love every scene that they are together... i would say " you three again"... i really enjoyed those scenes... regarding Aeshin and Yujin's love arc... there's this lingering feeling that the ending is going to be just like scarlet heart(heart break) and i could not shake it off... i really hope it will not be a sad ending and lately i'm imagining this series ending in all three guys survive and Aeshin dies... i don't know why but that's the ending that keeps on popping in my mind... nevertheless, this series is a masterpiece.

SQ2 Aug 22 2018 7:49 pm Everyone assumes there will be a tragic ending, but I'm expecting at least one character (maybe all of them) to survive and go on to be part of the independence movement that resists Japan. I think the Joseon yakuza members will secretly support Korea in their resistance. All the main characters could potentially have a future in that movement. I don't see how a drama about this theme would end without foreshadowing the characters' involvement in the coming historical events.

aga Aug 22 2018 12:29 pm EPIC!MASTERPIECE! i think is one of best korean dramas i ever watched.Cant understand who is giving bad ratings. i guess kids only...Just hoping for good ending :)

jzzzhayne Aug 21 2018 6:00 pm Gosh. How can i survive every week. Its darn difficult waiting for the weekends for a new episode . I just love it so much. Love the chemistry of the characters and yoo yun seok suits the look. Ughhh cant help but to watch it over and over again while waiting for the new eps.

ninfialoves Aug 20 2018 4:11 am @yuki Big NO, Kim Min Jung is perfect as Kudo Hina, she can speak japanese and english really well also her acting is too good to be a second lead

Siti Razali Aug 19 2018 7:05 pm Too many traitors in that time...we know Joseon will lost to Japan at that era. I wonder what is Ae Shin next move... would she fight for her country? Will she choose to save her love and leave just like her desire to go further/far away?

Today's episode was really a great one. It deserves the highest rating (18% in SK is no joke for cable drama). Wish it continues all the way till end of drama. I know this is melodrama but I sincerely hope the writer will move forward with its angst and action during those period rather than focusing on its romance (which is a huge traits of KES).

NumNut Aug 19 2018 5:53 pm According to this drama, and as I see it, Gojong was an incompetent ruler. And his father was worse. They handled things badly in 1866 when they sunk an American ship. Then when an armed American fleet came looking for their comrades, Joseon again without any provocation from the fleet, fired on the American fleet while the discussions were going on, on land between Joseon and the Americans. Why? No explanation was given that I know of.

The act started a war that resulted in some 300 dead Joseons, 3 dead American soldiers and rendered useless a chunk of the Joseon west coast defense system.

At episode #14 they're going after Eugene whose investigation threatens to expose them. And yet Wan-shik is really the one that's calling the play which has rendered inept the Joseon power structure for decades. Gojong knows it, but somehow convinced himself he hasn't the ability to remove Wan-shik, and purge the palace of spies and ministers bought by foreign powers and/or as it were; the deep state.

However, perhaps this judgement is too harsh given that the time for Joseon to fortify itself had passed. Here's to the next episode of this thrilling drama. Cheers!

Louise Aug 19 2018 2:33 pm Abbie:::) I am happy that I am not the only one who is waiting their first kiss...…. Just imagining it would be beautiful as they are. Also I cant wait ep 15 OMG...……… OMG...…….. HOW TO SURVIVE WHOLE WEEK...………(((

Lilili Aug 19 2018 1:32 pm @My03S2K Smth worse really hppn #ep14

Centilevre Aug 19 2018 11:51 am I laughed when Eugene brought the potter (Eun-San) some US beer and Ae Shin asked Eun-San about the taste. Eun-San tried to dampen her curiosity.

Eun-San: _"Gosh, it just fills you up. It's bland. It's not as good as takju, my lady."_

Ae Shin asked if she can have a bottle but Eun-San wasn't going to share. Eun-San: _"Gosh, no way. Just buy a bottle for yourself. You can surely afford it."_

Ae Shin wasn't going to take no and pressed the issue. Ae Shin: _"Then just a bowl of it."_ But it was becoming clear, the potter wasn't going to share a drop.

Eun-San: _"Goodness, even just a bowl is a lot. This is very rare."_

The wrangling continued, until eventually, Ae Shin had to give up. A disgruntled Ae Shin: _"What a petty man. I do not understand why Gunner Jang is friends with this man. My goodness."_

Ae Shin continued: _"I bet he is actually not that good as a potter. Every time I come here, I see broken bowls all over the place."_

This was quite the entertaining scene in the drama.

Cii Aug 19 2018 2:03 am At the begining of ep 13 it looks sweet n lovely then the last scene like bang,the sadness is coming Poor yoojin

Live in peace Aug 19 2018 1:48 am Well.. why is dong Mae drenching in blood?? I guess the real fight begins now.

MGovern Aug 18 2018 10:34 pm An accurate prediction @We call it Sniper. Saat ending in #13.

McGovern Aug 15 2018 1:16 am @We call it Sniper — Given Eugene's response, the other potential candidates besides his friend Joseph Stenson are; the potter Hwang Eun-San, his assistant Gwan-Soo and the pawnshop guys who saved him as a 9 year old runaway slave.

Manuqs Aug 14 2018 4:43 pm The final scene song is really amazing. Does anyone know what is it called and who is singing it? Ta x

My03S2K Aug 14 2018 7:06 am @We call it Sniper: I like to believed you are right about Joseph's hand. But I have a bad feeling something much worse going to happen, I do hope that will not be the case.

We call it Sniper Aug 13 2018 3:45 pm I have a fairly accurate guess that the hand held by Eugene when he cried in Eps 13 was Joseph's hand

The plot of the story becomes clearer and will confront Eugene in the choices he must take when important people in his life begin to become victims of all the political conflicts that occurred at that time.

chinh Aug 13 2018 9:40 am i love to watch this,, i can wait to watch next episode. hope it's saturday already. so addicting..

Injun Aug 13 2018 7:43 am So at the end of episode 12 they go off on their "dirty weekend". I thought that was funny after all that was said between them. They had resolved to part ways and it broke Lady Ae Shin's heart. Then, I guess the biological pull was too overwhelming. Sorry but it's funny and beautiful at the same time because it is very much like that in some real life situations.

I hope they did really get to have their way during that time and that we get to see even as flashbacks. Given they mentioned going to sea hopefully the director spares us from anything resembling Jack and Rose on a steam ship; _"Eugene, I can fly!"_ Lol!

yuki Aug 13 2018 7:33 am Role of Hee Na would better suit Kim Sa-Rang, sorry for her :(

Injun Aug 13 2018 7:28 am This drama is nectar. I so love all the main characters.

Eugene Choi the officer and gentleman; Lady Ae Shin the passionate noble woman who sees herself a flame that burns brightly, then withers. Dong Mae's unrequited love shaped his life in so many ways as he negotiated the perils that life casts in his path.

All the characters together are the ingredients of an outstanding recipe for a dish one can't leave for the after-life without partaking . . . Lol!

orin Aug 12 2018 10:38 pm actually i yearn for more bromance that the slave-noble woman love story. looking back at oska-joo won, kim shin-wang yo, yoo shi jin-seo dae young, their scene just so adorable. i always love when the scene turn to kim hui seong-go dong mae-choi eugene, they're so funny.

Sii Aug 12 2018 9:08 am Im really glad reading such a warmth comment said tht they love this drma, praise the cinematography,the writer,the cast, seriously they deserve it. Cant wait for the 12th eps

Dez Aug 12 2018 2:14 am This drama is everything. From the cinematography to the acting....epic. The story is also amazing as well as the chemistry between all the leads. Big thumbs up

Cathy Aug 11 2018 9:43 pm This series is incredible. Even though I am an American, I enjoy watching international movies, especially period pieces, to see how different countries represent their joys, sorrows, defeats, success and interactions. I am so thankful for sub-titles; however, the exceptional acting in this drama, conveys so much more. Brilliant acting, cinemaphotography, set design and costuming. I am really enjoying each episode and this series has prompted a new appreciation for Korea and its people. I am anxious to continue reading and learning about her history. Thank you for airing this to an international audience.

gongfro Aug 11 2018 8:50 pm I decided to watch this drama because of Kim Eun-Sook and Lee Byung-Hun because I love them both. And as expected, I am not disappointed. The writer’s way of harmonizing drama, comedy and romance is what makes her stories addictive. And I’ve always wanted to watch Lee Byung-Hun in a k-drama (first saw him in Hollywood movies where he does not tlak too much) and I must say, I love his deep, manly voice. I was head over heels in love with Goblin, but I am definitely loving this too! A. Must. Watch.

My03S2K Aug 10 2018 8:26 am @Tas. When families in Asia arranged marriage, usually their babies are born the same year with each other. Then the two families get together and making the arranged marriage for the new born. That makes Lady Ae-Shin 9 year younger than Mr. Sunshine, unless the story tell us how old Lady Ae-Shin is in the TV show. Please do let the age rest for Mr. Sunshine, because even today in Hollywood many people marriage +20 year older than their spouse.

Tas Aug 09 2018 5:24 pm Calculating age

Handsome josean says hes 33 at episode 10.. eugene is 9 years older

10 years engaged to lady sniper, who was 8 years old when helped go dong mae which was 12 at that time...

Eugene 42 years old HS 33 Aesin 29 or 30 GDM 34 to 35 Hina .... no idea to be continued

The sky Aug 09 2018 3:02 pm I'm actually not really into Kim eunsok drama, but Mr sunshine is the except one. I know Lee Byung Hoon did an amazing act in here but i love more chemy of dongmae with aesin more, i love i love this drama even more bcs of that. Mr Sunshine hwaiting

Lili JD Aug 09 2018 7:22 am Oh God.... I love this drama so much, I understand why all the 3 men in love with Lady Ae-Shin. Lady Ae-Shin such a big inspiration. I think I want to learn shooting next year because of her. Kim Eun-Sook, I wish I have quarter of your creativity and imagination damn.. outstanding combination Kim Eun-Sook and Lee Eung-Bok definitely turned into brilliant outcome.

Cik siti Aug 08 2018 4:43 am Omgg I just love this drama sooo much! And the directors are the one direct in Goblin ??

I cried on ep 10. So sad they had to go on their separate ways because of social class ??? i just cant wait for this week episode ?

bagashayu Aug 06 2018 11:54 pm Orin: Yeah just like how all KES's dramas second female lead. Yoo Rachel, Yoon Myeong Ju, Sunny are all great, they have strong characters. I believe Kudo Hina will get more screen time just like them.

Angie Aug 06 2018 6:30 pm one more impression is Japanese dialogs ! they speak Japanese really well.

Isley Aug 06 2018 4:45 am Beautiful drama with a great cast and awesome cinematography.

In episode 10, Lady Ae Shin and Captain Eugene Choi face the reality that their social class is a formidable obstacle in their romance, leaving them both heart broken. Here's to hoping they overcome it. x

Pat Falk Aug 05 2018 11:59 pm I love this drama. Wish that I could understand the words of the songs -- so beautiful. I watch each episode over and over and all the You Tube (also wish they had English captions)

Can't wait until next week.

Y Aug 05 2018 10:54 pm @ X well aeshin deserve it Btw the 10th eps is sad ?so far this ep gain the highest rating

orin Aug 05 2018 9:35 pm if i were to criticize this drama, its about kudo hina. she is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too great to become second lead. and she didn't even appear that much. she is such a strong character and i hope too see more of her in the next episode. please~~

Le Aug 05 2018 4:52 pm This series is breathtaking, the story and cinematography are amazing. Can't wait for more episodes on Netflix.

Does anyone know the song that plays on episode 10 on the red pinwheel scene, around 50min into the episode?

Olympia Aug 05 2018 8:10 am Gold!

HS introduction of them to bar owner American Joseon Japanese Joseon Handsome Joseon

Interpreter one to another Listen carefully Russia, America is dead. We must report this ..... Then France you go .....

Abbie Aug 04 2018 8:04 pm I love this drama so much. Too bad there's only two episodes every week. I want to watch it everyday. I tried not to watch it and wait for it until episode 18 but i cant stop myself... Btw, im waiting for their first kiss. Hahaha

Chery Aug 04 2018 4:05 pm Don't see why anyone can criticise a 36 million dollar project. I must applaud the many good points in this show to do it justice: 1. Script is super SUPER well written. KES and LEB are such a wonderful team doing the Korean film industry proud. Not only do they explore different settings ,like from modern military to mythical to historical, they also probably have a very good writing team in the background to ensure their humour is not lost in translation. After all, their target audience is international based, not just local. I was seriously bored of the romcoms doing cheap bad humour with lots and lots of skinship just to captivate audience. This show has revived my love for kdramas all over again. 2. Selection of actors: though we see this trend of very very expensive A star actors and cheaper but super young and talented actresses to balance the budget, we can see they spare no expenses on the supporting and the 2nd lead, which is why we always get to see a very strong 2nd lead male and female actress in the show. Also like the director's love for the welfare of their supporting supporting actors. Hence you see the same people in goblin and dots. 3. The background is daebak! Cinematography is like art in every scene. The ultimate was the go dong-mae and ae shin's scene. Who can even pull out an idea like this???? It was so artistic l had to watch that scene several times. Who can achieve such chemistry without the actors even touching each other??????? 4. Lastly, special effects. I LOVE the special effects though people tend to watch without appreciating how expensive it is to do just those few scenes. The part where byun hung walks down the bridge in America to return to Korea was so beautifully done!

All in all, my profound respect to KES and LEB for delivering yet another spectacular masterpiece.

Nancy Slater Aug 03 2018 12:01 pm I loved Descendants of the Sun but Mr. Sunshine is even more wonderful. Visually captivating and I find the acting wonderful and compelling. Can not wait for episodes 9 thru the end. I realize it is a tough time in the history of Josan but find the telling of reality important to learn from past mistakes. Love in interaction between the 4 main characters and appreciate the feeling that the script and actors are not in a rush through some scenes. Sometimes quiet pauses speak louder than words.

X Aug 03 2018 5:20 am I just hate that there are 3 main actors after the one woman, it could be mooooooore interesting if there were 3 men and 3 women, this is just for me nah...in Goblin you had 2 men and 2 women, it was much more interesting that they don´t need fight each other because of love but here, here you could yet say that they fight each other or die for the woman just boring.... The storyline could be better done...!

Larassati Ina Aug 03 2018 12:34 am I start to watch this drama and I like it so much. I can't wait the next episode. I hope this drama can reach the highest rating!!!

A Aug 01 2018 4:33 pm I usually don't like Kim Eun Sook's dramas (Goblin and Dots were just not my cup of tea), but this one is truly done so well. The love complications do not feel too cheesy or soap operaesque. I also think a lot of it has to do with the cast, especially Kim Tae Ri. Loved her in every single thing i have watched, and this isn't any different. She brings such a badass quality to the character it's amazing. Also, the scene transitions are so beautifully done!

SQ2 Jul 31 2018 1:42 pm Yes, to the comment below, about the scene with Go Dong Mae. This was the first series with YYS that I've seen. So after watching episode 8, I searched up everything else he's in. Is this why some Koreans were supposedly objecting to his character, because he's a self-seeking traitor, yet he's portrayed in a sympathetic and attractive way?

hunylicious964 Jul 31 2018 9:41 am I know the whole romentic advancement between the leads was lovely.... But for me That train scene between Go Dong Mae and Ae Shin was way more intense and touchy :'(

Go Dong Maeeeeeeeeee!!!! You Maie My Heart Bleed!

hunylicious964 Jul 31 2018 9:39 am @alil "Does anyone knows what song played on minute 4:17 of episode 8? I'm really dying to know the tittle T_T"

The OST isnt revealed yet!!! I cant wait for it I love it too!!

alil Jul 31 2018 9:06 am Does anyone knows what song played on minute 4:17 of episode 8? I'm really dying to know the tittle T_T

dutchess Jul 31 2018 7:41 am Now let's learn the following letters!L for love,H for hug,K for kiss!Those three are important!Waitng for Aishin to show us the meaning of Kiss!Drama is exceptionally beautiful!

SQ2 Jul 31 2018 2:24 am Now I know the meaning and agony of "second lead syndrome." By the way, I see comments about the samurai, but those aren't samurai. They are yakuza. It was mentioned briefly at the beginning. It's too bad that we always glamourize crime organizations in entertainment, but their costumes and hair are daebak! I can't be the only one that sits on the edge of my seat during their scenes.

Lucky Jul 31 2018 12:43 am This drama so great. I like the cast, i can't imagine aesin being played by other actress. Kim tae ri just perfect act as aesin.

heddiewayle Jul 30 2018 10:39 am Ep 8 leaves me in awe. Literally! The next days will be my longest days as I cant wait for Saturday.

I super love YYS since forever, I am sad of his character Dong Mae’s unrequited love i just hope he will be loved later on maybe by the tarot reader woman or the righteous army geisha he hunted will eventually return and will create a love story with him (i trust the production..fingers crossed).

I am looking forward for what other letters KTRs already know and LBHs meaning on each of the letters. Fighting!

Zara Jul 30 2018 6:43 am I love gu dong mae too ????

Guel Jul 30 2018 5:13 am Breathaking cinematography and amazing cast. I love the flow of story and I keep my eye in Kim Huisong, he is so hot . I love Ae sin she is full of sorrow and really strong woman in the story. 2 thumbs up for me

Ohmm Jul 30 2018 2:37 am My favourite character in this drama is goo dong mae...real bad boy in that era....???

Bean Jul 30 2018 12:48 am K for Kiss ahahahahahaha

Olympia Jul 29 2018 9:39 pm I really want to see the bts on the "hugs" scene. I watched numerously. Damn they are good

liki Jul 29 2018 8:50 pm I love this drama but I really really want Goo Dong Hot Mae to have a real love story (not a one sided love). I wished with Ae Shin but its impossible so why not with Hee Na? There is that scene where she asks hims to protect her and he was really sweet with her and the way he looks at her while saying that her name is pretty... In Goblin and DOTS there is a second lead couple so why not here ? Especialy with all those important characters with a background story ect ....

Sania Mahem Jul 29 2018 4:05 pm In love with this drama. I wait impatiently for the whole week to watch the 2 eps. An hour flies by when I watch this drama. The actors, their chemistry with each other, the story, the way it's been directed and everything is just fantastic. If this drama were to be 50 eps long too I'd definitely watch it without being bored at all. Just love it. I recommend it to everyone and I hope this show gets recognition for what it is!

im dying bc of ep 8 Jul 29 2018 2:06 pm Listen Dong Mae (yoo yeon seok) is such a great actor, he really lights up the screen and takes my breath away with his acting/expression. I do love Byung Hun and Tae Ri but Yeon Seok is on a whole 'nother level. If you aren't watching this drama I highly recommend, if only for Dong Mae cause thats why I'm watching to be honest :)

Cii Jul 29 2018 12:33 pm Everyone, L for love H for ... ??? Badly in luv wth this drama

rosella Jul 29 2018 1:16 am Everyone is exceptional in their roles but I have just fallen for yoo yeon seok.. he is so handsome and looks so hot in thiss samurai kinda attire.

손 육공 Jul 28 2018 10:53 pm Eugene should be 40yo and Ae Shin is 28yo... Eugene first appear 1871, age probably 9 or 10..when his parent were killed. Ae Shin born 1874. Eugene went back to Joseon 1902.. So just a rough guess of their age...

Dee Jul 28 2018 10:04 pm So far 6th eps set the highest rating *frm 7 epsd Like a fool it might be the 1st time for me to care abt the rating

Lilili Jul 28 2018 9:56 pm @halakhannah I hope so. They deserve it? Evry sunday n monday morning i check the rating, wish for the best.

Eugene ❤ taeri shipper Jul 28 2018 6:56 pm I tell you guys this drama isss veeeeerrrrryyy recommended ooh IDK, I love chemistry of the actors ???? good job lee byung hun and kim tae ri also the writer-nim kim eun sook

LoneGunMan Jul 28 2018 3:42 pm Love the running gag about the 2 actors who kind of look alike and are mistaken for each other. I thought the same thing when I saw both of them in Goblin the first time(Kim Byung-Chul & Jo Woo-Jin). LOL!!!

b Jul 28 2018 12:23 pm Who is it that keeps on using Ae Shin's tab? Last time it was western style shoes and now at the bakery. The subtitles say Ae Shin used the tab in your name, when her servant is speaking to her, which makes no sense and makes it extra confusing.

chatrineevania Jul 28 2018 9:34 am this movie makes me curious every episode... i personally didn't like Lee Byung Hun but i'm surprised he and Kim Tae Ri play good chemistry so i decide to watch. But i really hope it's not sad ending :)))

Sherlitia Silfanny Jul 27 2018 7:48 pm @Mistah Sonshine The girl who's with Goo Dong-Mae, the one who tells his fortune in an earlier episode, the same girl who writes something in his hand in Episode 6. She is Kim Yongji. She is a model and I'm very happy to see her acting in this drama. She's gorgeous, right? Please support her^^ I'd recommend you to see vid in youtube, the title is Sentimental Scenery - Epic. Shon Minho and her starring in it. Sorry for my poor english hehe

halakhannah Jul 27 2018 5:54 am It's a great drama and I'm madly in love with it & I can't wait each week for only 2 eps ;'( , It's been a while since we saw such a perfect drama like this,, from All the sides it's just a masterpiece, but I don't understand why it's still not popular enough internationally.. not many people watch it tho it deserves much better, maybe because it's still at the beginning. So I hope it gets more popular and loved by the time and I hope its ratings keep breaking all the records.

Saman Jul 26 2018 8:48 am I think dong Mae Will die in the end,, the chracter like him always love someone in the silent and protect the girl till the end, and die without love,, so Saeguk type,, although a little, i hope ae Shin have loveline with dong Mae but that impossible bcoz knet sensitive about japan,, i'm so sad to see dong Mae eyes,,

A. I. Jul 24 2018 3:05 pm @Inter Fans the boybij the first episode is Gunner Jang. Young Dong Mae were appear in front of young Ae-Shin. Eugene left Korea when Ae-shin was a baby. So I think there is nothing wrong with the age gap.

Ii Jul 24 2018 4:11 am The user rating should be at least 90 :'))))

air89 Jul 24 2018 1:42 am Deeply in love with this drama. The story is great, having strong and clear background. So in love with the OST

Inter fans Jul 23 2018 5:16 pm Am I the only one who concern about age gap which is not between Ae Sin and Eugene but between Eugene and Song Mae. From first ep, we knew that Dongmae much older than Eugene, but in the present time suddenly Eugene looks much older than Dong Mae lol. Okay I'll let this one director-nim (^^) But please can you at least give us great ost? Like your preview works *Goblin, Dots* :(

Madeleine Jul 23 2018 4:15 pm @Ronald, I think it is Greensleeves

Lilili Jul 23 2018 9:04 am Cant believe tht some ppl still talkin abt age gap

Its already 6th epsd. I knw they hve their own taste or opinion but pls keep it personal.?✌?

Lilili Jul 23 2018 7:52 am Deeply in love wth this drama ?

Mistah Sonshine Jul 23 2018 6:22 am What's the real name of the girl who's with Goo Dong-Mae? The one who tells his fortune in an earlier episode. The same girl who writes something in his hand in Episode 6. Thanks!

anya Jul 23 2018 4:47 am kim hee sung has the saddest character. he may live in luxury, looks happy, jokes around with everyone but he's empty all his life. its just my hunch, i maybe wrong but thats how i feel about him.

Sandes Jul 23 2018 3:01 am Man it's making crazy.eating for another ep is killing me.story just wow.drama mind blowing.

Ronald Jul 23 2018 1:29 am Hi, Have seen only the first two episode and I am really thrilled about the story and looking forward to see all of the 24 episodes.

In the first episode there was a melody when Eugene standing outside a music box store. I really want to know what melody the music box played. Somehow I know I have herd it before but I can´t place it.

Kind Regards Ronald

Pierrot Jul 23 2018 1:27 am You have two option: enjoy the drama or leave it. your argument about age gap not change about the cast LOL

bluetosca Jul 22 2018 11:56 pm What a great drama!! Beat of my heart getting louder when Eugene gazed Ae-shin's eyes..

What Jul 22 2018 10:44 pm @sarah

Shouldn't you feel uncomfortable about the fact that your mom was 15 when she had a child, with her significant other being 10 years older? Your mom would basically have been underage.

A 20 year age gap is quite a lot, but most film industries are biased and pair very young girls with older guys. It's not okay, but it's also not new. So why such a fuss?

helga Jul 22 2018 8:12 pm best drama i ever seen in the past 5yrs......exceeded my expectation.....i was keeping it on hold and binge watched it this weekend and now i want more.....this writer has something special-a superior story teller .......like i have never seen such a huge diverse cast of this magnitude that delivers from start to finish they are going to take all the awards this year and the drama deserve the double digits its getting ..10/10 lee byung hu and kim tae ree are amazing,keep me at the edge of my seat...chemistry overload highly recommended

sarah Jul 22 2018 7:26 pm I mean,,,wow. The age gap between my sis and mom is 15 yrs. While 25 yrs between dad and her. So, I find this a bit..uncomfortable?

chococheese ? Jul 22 2018 12:05 pm I really love this dramaa !! Kim Taeri somehow behave so cute, and lee byung hun is way too hot tbh and the writer of this drama Kim Eunsook writer, how can she think of a story like this, i love most of her drama.. she is a genius ??? But actually i was so disappointed that I watched the drama as soon as it was published, someone should have tell me that this drama is so good.. so i don’t need to wait for every episode, it always makes me so frustated to wait for the next episode -_-

Asha Jul 22 2018 10:29 am Best drama of 2018 From casting,acting n storyline....its just perfect Am glad it has very high rating and actual critics n Koreans love it Pls if u want to watch it do...some people don't HV anything to criticize about so they are bringing up the age as if Kim take ri is 19 or pipo with big age gap don't marry The leads are perfect n the chemistry is there some people are just in denial about it and have issues bcoz they prefer a hottie to a real talented charismatic cast

Minjee Jul 22 2018 9:25 am shut up and just enjoy this drama. this drama is amazing!

jestine29 Jul 22 2018 7:53 am what's with all the fuss about the 20 year gap? Kim Tae Ri is 28 for Pete's sake!!! besides Lee Byung Hun may be near 50 but look at the guy he looks dashing and just handsome! I am a big fan of his.I have seen all of his films simply because he is such a brilliant actor! those who complain about the gap thing you are so immature besides the story is great!

Jay Jul 22 2018 7:37 am I don’t really care about the age gap, in fact during those times the husbands are way way older compared to their wives. The writer just portrayed what was actually happening during those times. This drama is superb, high recommended

popcorn and coke Jul 22 2018 6:13 am What are you all complaining about? Yes, they do have a 20 years gap in real but in the drama, they only have a 5 or 10 years gap between the characters. You all complaining when the girl isnt even 20 years old anymore. She's 28 years old (29 in korea). The drama that disturbed me more was Goblin. I like the drama but whenever I thought about the girl being a highschool kid chasing a 30-yr.-old-something guy, it was like more a paedophilic situation for me than this. But no, nobody complained about that because Gong Yoo is a handsome guy unlike Lee Byung Hun who is referred only as a charismatic guy. Let's not be picky on situations everyone. Isntead of complaining about the actors, focus more on what they deliver and what kind of drama they are making.

Qola Jul 22 2018 1:29 am The supporting character in Kim Eun Soek's work always shining more than the lead. Like how i love Kim Joo Won's secretary in Secret Garden and Gil Ra Im's best friend by Yoo In Na who also more interesting in Goblin than Ji Eun Tak. As for this drama, i like Im Gwan So, an interpreter. By the way, his english is far better than Eugene.

Kim Eun Soek heroes are borring and too unrealistic.

Fan of everything K Jul 21 2018 11:36 pm When dong mae tugged the hanbok I forgot to breathe. Whose idea was this damn

Korean drama fan Jul 21 2018 9:11 pm is it just me who thinks that the lead actress is too young for Lee Byung Hyun?

the plot is great, I like the story I'm just bothered how they pair the lead actors, when I am watching them I cant feel any romantic about them .

and Kim Tae Ri's acting is a bit like trying hard to be senior, there are so many female lead that can fit the character, how come they ended up casting this young lady?

Just Opinion!

Kdrama-fan Jul 21 2018 9:10 am I'm just curious and tbh, I dont get it, it's about that English Teacher. Why can't she speak and understand Joseon/Korean languange??? Normally, of course, when you're langaunge teacher, you have to know and understand how to speak both languange, dont you? But she? I just dont get it.

oo Jul 21 2018 8:13 am best 2018 drama so far :)

just a passerby Jul 21 2018 7:57 am I don't understand why some people think that LBH's acting skill is lacking in this drama. I think it's the character's traits -- he is supposed to be stoic-faced, somehow cold, and oozes charisma all the time without having to overact like some other actors tend to do (I'm not his fan btw, this is my first time watching his drama). Well, but then again, maybe most drama-watchers prefer light romantic comedy dramas with overacting (mainstream) actors to high-quality dramas with actual storylines and talented people.

Lee SeoHwa Jul 20 2018 11:10 am I agree, june! I think series feels like a movie than drama series too! I can't wait for episode 5! They have to release all the episodes now! It's funny when some people thought Gwan Su and Il Suk are brothers xD

june Jul 18 2018 11:24 pm well, first time i don't expecting anything, i'm just miss LBH acting. But in ep 1, i'm totally amaze cast, setting, plot, all things is awesome feel like i'm watching a movie not drama

Sunshine Jul 18 2018 11:44 am Great cast and interesting plot. So far it has been so captivating, Really loving each episode. High budget movie like episodes and talented actors

Yaloo Jul 18 2018 10:29 am Lee Byun Hyun has impressive eyes in this drama. Whoever said must have been watching the drama witth their eyes closed. His eyes are so dull & boring and convey any expressions at all. Not only the eyes, LBH is frozen dead. I wonder what happened to it.

Cate Jul 18 2018 8:54 am Absolutely loving everything about this drama from the cinematography, the actors, the period setting!!! Also, I am reviewing each week's episodes on my blog so check them out if you want!!

Carol Jul 18 2018 12:18 am So far am loving this drama. It just brings suspense at the end. The star cast is great and I love their individual roles. Fingers crossed for Eugene and Ae shin as anything may happen.This is my second drama of Hee na. The previous drama was Man to Man. Loved her act in that. Producers and Directors of Mr Sunshine, good job and keep it thesame way. Can't wait for the next episode.

Andrea Jul 17 2018 4:06 pm I see that Mr Sunshine does not disappoint. The cast is simply amazing. Even the actors who have small parts do an amazing job! Everything is perfect and professional so I have nothing to complain about for now. I am very excited for the next episode!

Zuricchan Jul 17 2018 11:14 am The earliest episode plot... Gave me this twirling feelings inside my stomach... I got this good feeling the drama going to be most great one for this year... It's addicting! I want more... Hahaha... The ending might won't be good though... But I prepared. Give me all what you got!!!

I like the casting too... and suitable!

Ann Jul 17 2018 6:15 am High quality drama! Kudos to all the actors. This drama deserves awards. It is not overrated. The scenery and visuals are beautiful. Highly recommended.

Imee Jul 16 2018 11:51 pm Great! Can't wait for the next episode. Can they have a film version of this?

nugget Jul 16 2018 8:13 pm Lee Byung-Hun has such expressive eyes! Even when hes not saying anything its his eyes just tell the story. Incredible actor as always!

This drama as of right now is just incredible, the cinematography, the settings, the clothes, the story. All just really amazing. Heres to hoping it holds up!

whynot Jul 16 2018 12:11 pm Soo far this is a very high quality drama. a good plot, excellent lead actors, a strong woman character, wonderfully played and breathtaking cinematography.

PLEXIMIA Jul 16 2018 12:11 pm Did anone observe the chandelier in the GLORY HOTEL(in ep 4) , its the same one that was used in GOBLIN for grim reapers scene , where the dead have to drink the tea to forget about their past and ascend to their afterlife...it was said that that chandelier was pretty expensive .

Athena Jul 16 2018 8:41 am So this is what it looks like when you throw millions of dollars at a KDrama...not bad so far. Four episodes in and I am completely hooked. This show is up to its eyeballs in first rate actors and highly acclaimed writers/directors. My only worry is that it is sooo highly anticipated that no show can live up to the hype.

Netflix is really putting money out there for a variety of shows. I am somewhat surprised, but really happy because I watch KDramas almost exclusively.

People of kdrama Jul 16 2018 6:41 am Lol it’s gonna be really embarrassing if this didn’t hit like goblin or if there’s a drama that has higher rating than this with a low budget. Wewz they’re so confident with this drama let’s see...

@Vangie Jul 15 2018 9:18 pm Like you, I find DOTS and her other dramas overrated. I am still planning to watch this one because of Lee Byung Hun, so I hope her writing on this one doesn't disappoint me as well. Giving her another chance because this seems different.

Vangie Jul 15 2018 2:15 am Been enjoying this by far. I just honestly and strongly hope that this is not another BS (yes, I meant bullshit) drama of this writer. Her DOTS was overly rated. It pisses me off every time I remember that drama. This one is different though. It's good and I hope it remains that way. I love Kim Tae Ri since Handmaiden and I definitely respect Lee Byung Hyun's acting. Everyone's doing really good. Keep up! Prove that this won't be another overrated drama.

Ero Jul 15 2018 2:08 am I'm 28 Years old and i like to date 50 years old ahjussi. It's still age appropriate as long as there's love and one of them not a minor.

For pepole who complain about english, come on! I have english spoken friend who always comforting my poor english, she said: your english is fine, don't worry too much, it's not your first language. I know how hard for you, because it's hard for me too to speak in your bahasa (indonesian language).

Lalala Jul 15 2018 1:19 am Cant believe tht im semi is dongmae's mother. I saw her current drma, about time, n cant recognize her here so that im searching for it. ??

kiikiiik Jul 14 2018 11:44 am The production of this drama is amazing. Smells like money, hefty budget we can tell - that's the power of writer Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok (both collab with DoTs and Goblin). The plot is very original and sometimes I am surprised by human creativity. The cast's acting is really good. There's a reason why Lee Byung Hyun is in Hollywood and why Kim Tae Ri and Yoo Yeon Seok (might know him from Romantic Doctor Kim)is a rising star. Even child acting these days is crazy, seriously too good. Ep 1 is very historically heavy but do not be put off by that. It's necessary to understand the context. Ep 2 is where things get interesting and you will be sqeaming for more by the end of it. It already broke the ratings for highest first ep. Trust me on this one, it will not disappoint.

NVOZZ Jul 14 2018 11:29 am one of the best kdramas!!

Monnie Jul 13 2018 10:29 am Just 2 episodes into the drama and it’s killing it off already. The sound, music and pictures are on point. The actors and actresses are exceptional and they brought the story alive and very real…its in the class of a blockbuster drama.. Love it… Can’t wait for the next episode

Neni Jul 11 2018 10:08 am Awesome Lee Byung Hun..

it's my first time watching your drama. You really drive me crazy watching your ability to speak  2 foreign languages. Cant wait to see in eps.3

Wonderful drama. Love it.... xoxoxo

Mahira Jul 11 2018 5:23 am This Drama is really amazing.great Actor and plot. Cant wait for next Episodes.

Aera Jul 09 2018 10:14 am I was among the people who dont like Lee byung hun in this drama.. i wished it was Rain or Choi Siwon lol xD But now i watched the first two episodes, leebyung hun was just so cool.. (>////<)i cant wait for more episodes!!

Jessie Jul 09 2018 6:37 am EPIC is the only word to describe this drama. It exceeds all expectations! Cinematography is off the chart, magnificent and next-level. Acting, WOW LEE BYUNG HUN. Talk about charisma. Talk about talent. OMG I CANT

hunylicious964 Jul 09 2018 2:35 am 5 minutes of GOO DONG MAE in Ep2 only were torture :( I need to see more of him! :(

Jay Jul 09 2018 2:28 am Cinematography- 10/10 Plot- 10/10 Acting-10/10 Casts- 10/10 Director/screenwriter/production team- 11/10 in its first 2 episodes, this drama has proven itself worthy of being called the king of all dramas.

Abbie Jul 09 2018 1:35 am The first two episodes brought me into alot of tears. Amazing! Really amazing.

Gosen Jul 08 2018 11:16 pm omg why do they keep casting a dad and daughter age gap?

D Jul 08 2018 10:57 pm The ratings for the first two episodes are no joke.. High expectations for the next episodes.

orin Jul 08 2018 9:25 pm just watched the first episode and wooow. i'm surprised to hear how fluent lee byung hun in english. he's definitely special. just by casting lee byung hun i know this drama is on a different level. and it is!

Beverly Jul 08 2018 8:46 pm Gorgeous! Epic! The music is soaring! Love this drama.

Anonymdaebak Jul 08 2018 1:02 pm Omg omo! This drama so epic! Fantastic baby! No joke bout director-nim and writer-nim. Actually I had checked one by one these casting and I find it interesting, because most of these were ever played on drama DOTS or Goblin or Six flyin dragon kkkk.

YesMe Jul 08 2018 9:26 am Both cameo (Jin Goo and Kim Ji Won) played wife and hubby after two years of DOTS XDXD..it took me 4x rewatching their scene..just to make sure who was it..hahaha

minjee Jul 08 2018 9:20 am omggg i so excitedddddd. the scenery in this drama is so beautiful!! im in loveeee. *sorry for my broken english hehe*

Ryunami Jul 08 2018 3:59 am The Goo-Woo couple from the Descendants of the Sun! Omg i really excited for their cameo as husband and wife even for a brief moment ?

poo Jul 08 2018 3:40 am daebak, first movie looks great, love the act and casts :)

asdfgh Jul 08 2018 3:11 am the first episode was epic for me. i don't know why people keep bashing lee byung hun and kim tae ri. i watched haindmaiden and kim tae ri was really good, especially as someone who new to this industry. Lee byung hun, what i knew is a high class actor. so this drama is no joke. i really love the timeline,love how they were showing us how the characters created,

Punky Jul 08 2018 2:59 am Hahaha it was so hilarious back reading the comments..why you guys fight over the actors? Relax, we got the best combo of writer and director they won't cast in anybody just for nothing..as long as we got them, we will have a good show! So enjoy.. it's the first episode yet, too early for your tantrum guys.. So far after the first episode, it was superb! Got a new kind of drama, and was surprise for the Americans, this must be very expensive! Haha Fighting and Kamsahamnida!

Inmyheart, dr Jul 08 2018 1:15 am Kim Tae Ri is one good, young & budding actor. I watched some of her movies...and this lady is one lady to watch out. She has the face & she is one with a great potential....just watch.... Of course mr lee byung hun seems ageless when it comes to acting... Forget about the age...(& maybe the face)...he is one who will give it all... I’m looking forward to this drama...let us just sit, relax & watch....then later...much later...comment...lol..peace everyone..

eszen vallente Jul 07 2018 10:23 pm . ..i love byung hun.it nice to see him on screen again.i really like his drama like Beautiful days, All In and Iris

Giuna Jul 07 2018 9:44 pm @Isley, Byung Hun's accent is actually not wrong at all. His character in the drama came to America when he was what? 5-10 years old? Those are the most fragile times in someone's life for comprehending languages. His character had been speaking Korean only until he came to America, likely didn't have many friends to talk to because of discrimination, and had to help the guy he was living with learn the language more while he himself probably only learned English in small ounces because I doubt he went to school. He was speaking Korean for the majority of his youth, so it's obvious he wouldn't speak like a native in English.

He doesn't need to automatically speak like a person who was born and raised in America does The way he speaks English is quite realistic to the character.

You know how cringeworthy it'd be if they got a big star to play the lead of Mr. Sunshine who had such a broken English? Byung Hun is one of the (few) greatest choices for the role.

And the fact that you picked those 2 actors despite knowing that their English is bad just shows how shallow you are, not that I'm surprised since a lot of the Kpop/Kdrama community only cares for how the characters/people look instead of caring for actual quality.

And like I said before (for another cause), if you're so bothered with Byung Hun, just don't watch the show. It's as simple as that.

wany Jul 07 2018 9:13 pm Stop complaining about the ages!! Byung Hung oppa is the only korean actor can fluently used english and thats why he became the main lead... other kdrama actors english are not event fluent like him! ive seen other actors but i merely understand what they saying -_- you guys basically love those kdrama actors because they good loooking..

Me Jul 07 2018 7:43 pm Let’s stop complaining about the casts anymore. It’s all DONE and nothing can change it :P

I love this writer. I’m sure I’m gonna like this drama and i will get use to the casts soon enough. Like in ‘Goblin’ the main girl totally new to me but I grew to like her. So I think I’ll grow to like Tae Ri too. As for Byung Hun, I already like him. I think he’s a good choice for this role. Even someone else can be better, but they picked him, so we have to accept it.

We been waiting so long for this drama. It’s FINALLY here ❤️❤️ Let’s be open mind and enjoy the drama instead of being so stress about this and that. They spent lots of money and time made this drama and we get to watch it for FREE. Why not enjoy it right!! Lol Have fun watching everyone ??

Jones Jul 07 2018 6:56 pm Have you guys even seen the first episode before commenting? Not only was his english impeccable, but the acting was well done. Byung Hun's english sounds way better than any other kdrama actor I have seen in a long time.

Tilak Jul 07 2018 6:20 pm Good drama so far. Big and beautiful.

neatpick Jul 07 2018 6:19 pm @Isley what???? Nam Jo Hyuk as the male lead among these seriously amazing actor as the second lead? Seriously? Yoo Yeon Seok and Byun Yo Han are no joke you know

Isley Jul 07 2018 6:15 pm @Giuna — I agree that the actors I picked can't speak fluent English to meet the demands of the character. But be honest Byung Hun is not speaking English like someone who grew up around English speaking people. He speaks like a Korean actor who grew up speaking Korean, attempting to speak English.

Holy crap it's taken him more than a decade to get to where he is with that. But I guess it is easier if one started at a young age or lived with Americans for a decade and spoke only English with his lovely wife . . . lol!

Isley Jul 07 2018 5:57 pm @Giuna, Byung Hun's spoken English is not fluent enough to be taken for someone who grew up around English speaking people. We can let him off, he's doing his best. And I grant you; the actors I recommended are worse.

Giuna Jul 07 2018 3:19 pm @Isley. You don't seem to be understanding that Byung Hun is literally one of the only people who can play the lead role of Mr. Sunshine. The lead in Mr. Sunshine is a Korean man that GREW UP in AMERICA. You cannot replace Byung Hun with either of those actors just because of their age or how they look. They have broken English, and it'd just be too unrealistic if they were given the roles. Be logical here. Byung Hun is a great actor and has a decent enough English-speaking voice. Also, his age IS of the right age as opposed to someone who's in their 20's or something. This is a war story focusing on "Mr. Sunshine", and It'd be unbelievable if he were only in his 20's. This is of a time when discrimination was part of everyday life (and yes, discrimination still happens, but back then was more horrid). You honestly can't think the "Mr. Sunshine" gained enough respect in 10-15 years in America (since he arrived there around 5-10 years of age) meaning when he was around 20, to do the things he's doing in the show. 30-40 is the perfect age.

If you saw the writers' other work "The Heirs" where Lee Minho was speaking to his American friend with his broken English (which is just so unrealistic), you'd realize how terrible it'd be if she hired someone just because of how they looked, or their age, instead of their capabilities.

I have nothing against Tae Ri, but instead of people saying to "Replace Byung Hun", it'd just be easier to replace Tae Ri because there's nothing too specific about Tae Ri's role that other people can't do. It's just that they need to be a good enough actress.

And like someone said before, age gap romances were very present during war times. It's not being done just for the sake of being done. Just enjoy the show and if the age gap concerns you that much, don't watch it.

Monish Jul 07 2018 12:23 pm Watching the first episode on Netflix now. Damn damn excited ?? have been waiting for this for past few months

Isley Jul 07 2018 11:43 am There is no need for concern about Kim Tae Ri, she will do just fine. However, the age gap between the leads is a worry and probably the result of a business decision. It will be a challenge to the efficacy of a romantic liaison.

I'd rather have someone like Nam Joo Hyuk who played Ha Baek in "Bride of the Water God" or Hyun Bin—who is looking battle-worn of late—play the lead.

Nichole Jul 07 2018 10:49 am Here is my major concern: Lee Byung-Hun is 47 years old. Kim Te-Ri is 28 years old. I hope the writer does not try and tell me these two were childhood sweethearts. Or, looking at the people playing their younger-selves, two or so years apart in age. If this show tries to say that they have anything less than a ten year age difference, I won't be able to take it seriously.

I don't mind age gaps in couples. But, I just hope the writer doesn't try to make it seem like these two people - who both look their ages - are the same age or less than ten years apart.

Ginali Jul 07 2018 8:16 am It'd be funny if one of the scene, gong yoo came as goblin lol. He lives 938 years

Lhian Jul 03 2018 12:52 pm Well as i said the male lead (Lee Byung-Hun) is a great package. I just dont know if the female lead will do a great job too. I just hope that she will not ruin the whole cast. But I know they will not cast someone who dont know how to act. They did a great job casting in Goblin and DOTS tho.

Lhian Jul 03 2018 12:38 pm The Network is TVN with Lee Byung-Hun! Wow this is going to be a big hit. And the plot and genre is kinda interesting. As for my first impression Lee Byung-Hun is a great choice.

wew Jul 02 2018 11:12 pm agree with soksa, try to watch this because i byung hun, sincerely hope they not degraded him like they do with gong yu in goblin, wasting great talent, movie class actor to do cheesy drama

Lilili Jul 02 2018 11:43 am I sincerely hope this drma will be success. I hope mny ppl will support n love this drma too. I think its been a while since the last time i watch this kind of genre.

Kdw Jun 28 2018 2:06 am Definitely gonna watch this drama lbh & yys????

kimsoohynfan Jun 26 2018 9:07 am this drama will be a great drama as descendant of the sun or Goblin, @Seoksa you are talking nonsense.

Seoksa Jun 22 2018 7:10 am I'm just hoping the writer will do well because the cast is fantastic. Please be realistic and stay away from clichés scenes like in the Descendant of the sun or Goblin.

Angel Jun 16 2018 6:19 pm When I see the cast, well.. I think i can't expecting much from Kim Eun Seok jagganim this time. But i still hoping this production will be great anyway.

Greta Jun 14 2018 2:49 am Im 101% sure to watch this...cinematography is amazing and a powerhouse cast??? ..cant wait

Liri Jun 09 2018 5:57 pm This is a stellar cast. I bet this is Kim Eun Sook's biggest drama yet. It looks like a film!

Simglo Jun 07 2018 3:04 pm I am so excited for this. It looks like Byun Ho-Han might finally get a role here that can maybe come close to rival his portrayal of Lee Bang Ji. I hope he has lots of fun with this character.

kdramalover Jun 07 2018 1:33 pm this is going to be an EPIC drama .. im beyond excited for this one.. i think this drama will go down in history for TvN Top 5 or Top 10,

Windy Jun 06 2018 6:33 am I can feel Bridal Mask/gaksital vibes in this Drama *O*

Malcolm May 30 2018 10:07 am Well that looks....bloody epic..

communist May 06 2018 3:12 am Goblin vibes. No, thank you.

bcq Apr 20 2018 5:24 pm Lee Byung-Hun, he is finally back on drama since Iris 1. Been waiting for this!! Reading so many negativ comment below that people dont like him as the main lead. Whats wrong with you?!? He is no doubt one of the best actor in Korea and the only asian actor that made it success in the state without knowing any kungfu. So excited for this drama!! LBH FIGHTING!!

BfromBrazil Apr 10 2018 10:19 am The latest teaser got me all emotional.

Dae Apr 09 2018 12:03 pm Come here for Yoo Yeon Seok. Fighting. He's one of the actors who gets less recognition regardless of his indisputable acting skill. I hope this drama will be his major turning point ; to get more recognized in this industry. Fighting!!

Eggs Apr 09 2018 11:00 am This must be cool

haha Apr 08 2018 8:04 am there's no many days left for me to see this amazing drama...

can'twait

Maxine Apr 08 2018 6:11 am Omg, I can't wait to watch this drama, this is really epic!! The cast too, wow, daebak

BryanJudell Apr 07 2018 9:26 pm Most Awaited Drama of this Year

Lin Mar 30 2018 2:28 am Can't wait..excited already because of the writer was my favorite writer-nim

The reason why I must watch was bc I really love The Heirs and Goblin..

Dramatic Mar 28 2018 11:16 pm I’m already crying. I’ve been so long feel like it’s been a year by now.

Amna Mar 24 2018 3:19 am so excited for this drama!!

Lee SeoHwa Mar 09 2018 11:38 am Finally, a similar drama of Gunman in Joseon is finally out!

Goblin Mar 05 2018 5:11 pm It's sad that Kim Sarang left. Kim Eun Sook has been bringing her second leads from previous dramas onto her new (better-received) dramas (Descendants Of The Sun, Goblin).

She brought back Kim Ji Won (The Heirs) back to play the second lead in Descendants Of The Sun.

She brought back Yoo In Na (Secret Garden) (and technically, could be considered somewhat of the second/third lead) back to play the second lead in Goblin.

She also brought back Kim Sarang (Secret Garden) for Mr. Sunshine. Of course, we don't know if her role is second-lead or not, seeing as though her role didn't seem to be a part of the main cast, but having her on here would have just been perfect. She has that star power look that would have done wonders to Mr. Sunshine. I'm just confused on why she dropped the project. She has no dramas coming up (nor has she been working on many dramas previously), and it isn't like she's a singer who'll be busy promoting music. I just cannot comprehend on why she would drop out of this project when it could possibly be such a great drama that can even surpass Goblin like how Goblin surpassed Descendants Of The Sun. It could give her such a name in the industry.

This is no hate towards the new girl taking Sarang's place, but when you compare the 2 actresses, it just seems like such a waste that we lost Kim Sarang. Now this would be different if Kim Sarang had been replaced by someone with more star power than the actual replacement, but I guess we'll just have to see how she does. It's just sad thinking about how great of a role Kim Sarang could have had, and how many emotional moments she could have had in Mr. Sunshine. It would have been such a treat to see her here.

I guess that it is easier for the budget now that she's gone however. I feel like Mr. Sunshine is going to be the last trilogy of great dramas from Kim Eun Sook with the director she's working with, completing a trilogy of great dramas (Descendants Of The Sun, Goblin, Mr. Sunshine), and then she's probably going to go back to simple dramas with SBS. If they do continue though with a 4th and 5th one, I hope that Kim Sarang can come back.

As for the actual drama, I hope this drama turns out to be phenomenal. I won't say masterpiece, because Goblin was a masterpiece and for the right reason, since it was a fantasy story that could be an actual masterpiece because of the laws it could break. Mr. Sunshine is a military romance story like Descendants Of The Sun, however, with historical context, so we can only hope for it to be phenomenal, since it goes on the realism side. It even has 24 episodes. That's literally 8 more hours/episodes compared to Goblin/Descendants Of The Sun. If Kim Eun Sook makes her first drama that is 20+ episodes that doesn't drag out and turns out to be phenomenal, I hope it could be Mr. Sunshine. Even the music. Imagine it surpassing Goblin and Descendants Of The Sun.

I just hope for perfection with this story. Everything surpassing Descendants Of The Sun and Goblin. And if it's a masterpiece, that'd be even better.

Ronahiv Mar 02 2018 9:50 am The same director and screen writer of goblin it will be amazing like goblin taebak can't wait

Ronahiv Mar 02 2018 9:49 am So excited

k Feb 27 2018 2:10 am ughh why Sarang left:( I'm so saaaad now. I loved her sm. I'm gonna be annoyed the whole time watching that actress from man to man. like seriously the amount of annoyance is to the roof.

durz Feb 21 2018 10:06 pm thats only a teaser... damn,, cant wait...

hunylicious964 Feb 19 2018 11:09 pm i am still confused is Yoo Yeon-Seok the lead or not??? I hope he is Jaebal! The teaser is Dope !

T Feb 17 2018 2:39 pm That trailer gave me goosebumps. It looks about as high budget as an action/history film in the States. I’m super excited!!!

violet Feb 17 2018 8:14 am I am her for Kim Tae Ri. Her acting is beyond awesome. I love her personality too such an brightful and bubbly actress ❤ The cast is superb. Lee byung hun, his acting was awesome in Iris. Byun yo han + yoo yoon seok tho ❤

keightie Feb 15 2018 10:56 pm Yoo Yeon Suk and Byun Yohan are one of my fave actors. Will wait for this

Fan Feb 15 2018 7:48 pm Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo having a cameo? omo!!!!!

lessi Feb 15 2018 6:46 pm OMG, look at the teaser it's so epic-looking and beautiful. The production is going all out on this one. GOOSEBUMPS!!

gracia manapoga Feb 15 2018 1:51 pm THE.TEASER.JUST.MADE.MY.DAY can't wait til July

ron22 Feb 15 2018 12:29 pm i will give some spoiler that ship is USS Colorado not Joseon Ship cause i think they are using junk ship that's why they loss in terms of techology between US so hopefully TVN will not mess up this one i know they are good making drama.

Killo Feb 15 2018 10:13 am Most anticipated drama of the year..

BfromBrazil Feb 15 2018 9:54 am Such a great cast. Looking forward to see these amazing actors and actresses together on screen.

tyryll Feb 15 2018 8:29 am Omg the teaser is so daebak.

tyryll Feb 15 2018 8:29 am Omg the teaser is so daebak

niche Feb 15 2018 7:30 am No Kim Sa Rang??

HanaRadzi Feb 15 2018 6:51 am Byun yo hann??

Hanna Feb 14 2018 7:39 am Whoever the actors/actresses, if it's Kim Eun Sook nim as the writer & Kim Eung Bok as the director, I am in. DOTS and Goblin are more than enough reason for me to watch this as well.

Lee Seohwa Feb 11 2018 4:23 pm I hope this drama is action than comedy!

Wayer Feb 04 2018 10:18 am Omaya. Even without Taeri and Byunghun, I'm already dead looking at Yeonseok and Yohan images. MUST WATCH. Killer casting, killer writer. All-KILL.

Eri Jan 26 2018 9:10 pm At first I wasn’t interested in this drama because of the lead actor. But I’m here for Yoo Yeon Seok so I’ll give it a try. Yoo Yeon Seok’s acting has never failed me, he’s actually good and should be recognized by the public. Plus I also trust Kim Eun Sook’s dramas. Fighting Mr. Sunshine! ?

kim tae ri Jan 20 2018 6:27 am I agree with kokonoright!!! I loved my taeriyakki in 'The Handmaiden' and even before I watched it! She's simply amazing. I love her very much; I can't wait for this! ?

Sara Jan 18 2018 9:53 am 24 episodes??? Never knew any TvN dramas with more than 20 eps before. Be anticipating this

Heba Jan 15 2018 1:03 am I am here for LEE BYUNG HUN. He is an amazing actor. Hope this drama will be a masterpiece❤❤

pirrio Jan 05 2018 2:45 am Im so excited my oppa Yo han is cast in this drama, hope his name will shine through this dram, and i hope he can have official instagram...

Late Bloomer Dec 28 2017 11:12 pm LOL. SBS seriously let go of this project?

Sorry SBS that Kim Eun Sook doesn't want to write any more cheesy cliche rich man poor girl stories (Secret Garden, Heirs) and actually wants to write shows that sell well and are well-received by audiences. You lost the chance to air Descendants Of The Sun and Goblin, 2 of the biggest (and if not, biggest) dramas of 2016/2017. Could have gotten so much revenue back, but I guess they weren't cliche enough for you to want them.

I guess you'll lose the chance for Mr. Sunshine also, but that's okay, since Kim Eun Sook has been better off without you. I hope she never returns to SBS, or else they'll make her write more cliche boring dramas.

PS, Yeah, Goblin technically was a rich man poor girl story, though it wasn't anywhere near cliche for those type of stories.

kokonoright Dec 12 2017 4:32 am watching it for kim tae ri! i loved her in the handmaiden! acting skills on point!

Bromancer Dec 03 2017 10:42 am I'm here for Byun Yo Han. I love you.

anna Nov 30 2017 11:20 am I don't really like Lee Byung Hun and as much as I know some of actors/actresses, I am not familiar with them...but I am such a big fan of the writer, Kim Eun Sook-nim and now the director too because he teams up with the writer since DOTS....beside a movie by them may have cameos from DOTS or Goblin hopefully....

Mr. Sunshiner Nov 24 2017 2:22 pm 2017 and people are still so shallow minded over age gaps. Yet if Byung Hun had a flower boy face, and the 20 year age gap was still there, barely anyone would complain.

This is a WAR story set in the PAST. Use your brains please, and realize that many soldiers who came back alive, married younger women.

Doesn't matter if you watch it or not because Kim Eun Sook is on a roll, and I'm positive it can be a success even with all y'all leaving over petty little things.

I won't even be surprised if this becomes her next masterpiece, after creating the piece of art called Descendants Of The Sun, and the critically acclaimed Goblin.

면 Nov 19 2017 1:47 am There wasn’t another actor that could’ve been cast as the male lead? The age gap is too severe... They should’ve given the lead role to yoo yeon-seok or byun yo-han instead of lee santa, honestly. I was really looking forward to this too because of yoo yeon-seok, but i’ll skip it.

Someone Nov 16 2017 11:17 pm Is this still going to premiere? there's no news about this anymore

Malcolm Oct 25 2017 6:57 am This is almost unbelievable ...Kim Eun-Sook writer Lee Eung-Bok director and Lee Byung-Hun doing his first drama in 7yrs if this is amazing..

K❤from india Oct 16 2017 3:54 am YYS? It's a superhit ....no need to mention the director

Karauna Aug 28 2017 5:14 am I think this will do good this drama, the cast are going to do great I love alittle war story next year and I hope that I get the chance to watch it so fingers cross for the anticipation.

Vladut Aug 18 2017 6:01 am Lee Byung Hun is a very good actor. He is good-looking too. I think his role is not easy, but he knows how to act.

Sean Aug 16 2017 3:10 am You don't know how Lee Byung Hun acts so perfectly in historical films. Try watching some movies of him and I bet you would like to watch this. I am watching this for sure.

Pinklanguage Aug 15 2017 12:59 am 2018?? :O

carey_99 Aug 14 2017 8:55 pm the bad choice of hero... already give bad impact.. so disappointed ?

Ron-oppa Aug 14 2017 8:31 pm tvN? Wow! This is going to be another great hit and this is going to break rating records!!!

R.Kelldo Aug 13 2017 3:08 pm Completely agree with the comment below me. I've seen countless dramas where idols from boy groups/girl groups are present, and are given the chance to act. 97% of those idol actors are terrible, yet people praise it because "Oh my baby's so good looking!", or "She looks so pretty!" This is exactly why many of them aren't given the roles of leads.

Also apparently, there is going to be lots of English in this series, and if this IS a work of art like the writers' past 2 dramas (DOTS and Goblin), then I don't want some young good-looking guy who isn't fluent in English. But if it turns out to be another Heirs, then you can trash about it all you want. Just wait until the actual show comes out and ends before you judge.

Personally, I don't find the age gap wrong. It's 2017 people. Keep up with the world. Please don't be so low minded. Wait until you see the main pairing in the actual drama before you judge if they have chemistry or not. There was nothing wrong with it in Goblin, so it shouldn't be wrong in here either.

주리우수 Aug 11 2017 2:53 am Haha... As expected. Most audience of Kdrama and Kpop are just into look, so an actual actor who can actually deliver his character is disliked. But on the other hand, they go crazy for a goodlooking and tall actor who can't act for sh*t. Kdrama and Kpop is becoming big, mostly because of the celebrities aesthetic appearance.

Fullheart5 Aug 05 2017 12:17 am Big fan of Kim Eun Sook. Love all her works. Sadly, not a fan of Lee Byung-Hun, so probably going to skip this one. Love Yoo Yeon-Seok, but still not tempted to watch. Boo hoo.

blackpink in your area Aug 04 2017 9:57 pm I really hope Yoo Yeon Seok to be the lead actor.. too bad.

dawo Jul 27 2017 8:34 am Please airing in tvn...

Tanashiri Jul 24 2017 12:22 am Please airing in mbc, Mbc please take this drama so your channel will hit

Zewicy Jul 21 2017 12:58 pm Kim Tae Ri is so damn amazing! I watched her in the Handmaiden and she is like out of words actress Incredibly fantastic acting, I'm looking forward to this drama!!!

Idk why people are hating on Lee Byung Hun he is also amazing actor, be a professional audience please you will never get the feeling of its art if you put your personal feeling first..

rararaa Jul 18 2017 11:56 pm I don't know to watch this drama or not... I don't like lee byung hun, but I like other cast especially Byun yo han..... well just waiting until the dramas aired and if this good then kim eun seok project before (but DOTS and Goblin really great)....I will watch lol why not yoo yeon seok or byun yohan as the main lead, I think they more look good to pair with Kim Taeri then lee byung hun... well every people have different opinion right?....

Valentina Jul 18 2017 8:53 am So happy that Yohan finally got a new role and it`s exactly in this drama. I hope that this drama will give him another push just like Six Flying Dragons did. With this cast the drama is certrainly going to be watched.

Ginali Jul 17 2017 9:00 pm Yoo yeon seok will be playing as villains here ^^

Elisabeth Jul 15 2017 7:45 am Please believe me that this will be eun sook first drama that will flop like katy perry's witness.

chunu Jul 15 2017 12:06 am I love the casting

MikaruMikaru Jul 11 2017 9:01 am @Jin wow i'm forgetting about that Gentleman's Dignity couple.. Their age gap is 19 years.. Too far but have a good chemistry..

agatha Jul 10 2017 9:26 pm i need Ryu Hye Young as second lead.

Jin Jul 10 2017 10:13 am How about Kim Minjong-Yoon Jinyi? Another couple by Kim Eunsook. They won best couple with 19years age gap. Just wait and let's see about this drama:D

LoL Jul 09 2017 10:26 pm So yoo yeon sook join taeri and lee byung hyun. I think the story will be a "triangle love" lol. Yeon sook love taeri and taeri love byung hyun hahaha. There are age gap everywhere. Taeri 27 years old, yeon sook 33, and byung hyun 47 hahaha.

askskdjsjs Jul 09 2017 4:11 pm lmaooo i swear if they push for a love story.... it would've been fine if the age difference isn't so noticeable, but the age difference is noticeable so to me I'd feel kinda uncomfortable watching them as a couple.. i'm already uncomfortable that she casted lee santa but whatever

berceuse Jul 08 2017 6:02 pm @MikaruMikaru agreed :0

MikaruMikaru Jul 08 2017 5:30 am wow the gap between lead cast.. 20 years.. It's little bit too far for me..

Jeu Jul 07 2017 7:34 pm Omg ive beem waiting for this,i love LBH he's a phenomenal actor i dont care about his scandal.i just love him?

taeri fans Jul 07 2017 6:47 am Can't wait for kim tae ri's debut drama :))

cutechloe Jul 06 2017 11:54 pm the lost father and daughter story?

pattiny Jul 06 2017 12:02 pm Can't wait till 2018?????

LBH Jul 06 2017 10:11 am LBH my man!! KTR my girl!! perfect drama :P

Anjela rai Jul 06 2017 6:45 am lee byung hun and kim tae ri cant be main couple right?? because they have exact 20 years difference. Impossible in my opinion.

ssh Jul 06 2017 12:14 am I just "WOW" for Kim Tae Ri

Yani Jul 05 2017 11:09 pm woah kim tae ri. movie stars.

fan Jul 05 2017 10:59 pm I love the female lead I just cant connect him with Lee Byunghun. Like he's so old for her. ?? I even hate the fact that Lee Minjung married him. Ugh

hoola Jul 05 2017 9:54 pm great work at the handmaiden , i think its deserved for kim tae ri play the lead actress ! she going to be top star after this because all we know kim eun sook have "magic"

Ron-oppa Jul 05 2017 9:26 pm Kim Tae Ri? Wow! Not expecting that at all This is really big for her debut on TV. She's going be a top star after this!

Clara Jul 05 2017 5:06 am I'm following Kim Eun Sook writer because I'm a fan of her works.. But this time I'm so disappointed with the lead male cast... I know that he's a good action actor but I just can't feel anything romantically towards him because of his scandals... TT

Janet Jul 03 2017 6:23 am LBH is an excellent choice for casting. I luv his work here in the US and I enjoyed his movie Master when it showed here in Los Angeles. LBH is a great actor and I'm looking forward to seeing him in a regular series. No matter how old he gets, LBH gets better looking and he stays in shape. Can't wait to see this show.

Janet Jul 03 2017 6:07 am LBH is a great casting choice! Love him here in the US and it will be a treat to see him in a regular drama. Excellent actor and I like how he is aging line a fine wine. It seems that he just gets better. Really looking forward to seeing this drama.

kjung Jul 03 2017 4:57 am i'm not going to watch, i hope is won bin or kang dong won ? he's a good actor but i just dont like because his scandal ?

Yani Jul 01 2017 1:26 am Lee Byung Hun is so good with romance and melodrama.

jasmine Jun 29 2017 9:00 am Huhue. I want Kim Soo Hyun. ??

Nana Jun 29 2017 8:42 am I agree that LBH is great actor. But he is unlikeable because of his scandal, I think. So hope this drama to have great female lead and second lead

BlindEye Jun 28 2017 4:17 pm Hey, all of you saying bad things about the lead actor. They never said it was all sunshine and happy for this drama did they? No. The plot doesn't even sound like it's a happy show. I'd much rather have an older man who actually looks capable of doing things, to play the part of a military man (especially since he'd need to know GOOD enough English), than some out of place flowerboy looking idol portraying a military man, with broken English that you fangirls like calling Oppa and fapping to. I don't know if you know this, but this dude has been in the US for a long time. You can't just cast some popular hot/cute guy to do this character if most of them can't speak English well enough. And lucky for this show, this Korean man has great English.

And yes, in the writers' other drama's, the male leads did speak (a sort of Broken) English, but the difference between those and this drama, is the fact that the English actually plays a big part in the character's life.

Kim Eun-Sook has created wonderful stories lately with Descendants Of The Sun and Goblin (both, which are wonderful pieces of art). I'm not saying that this story will be art, but seeing with what she has done recently, I wouldn't doubt how beautiful this storyline could be. If you want some hot male lead who's younger, you can go to any other drama that has cliche's and is nothing worth noting as being "art". There are millions of other drama's you can watch. Don't expect some idol-looking person appearing anytime soon in her works as the lead. Not every drama needs to have a flower-boy, nor hot looking male lead, and honestly, you can just go away if you can't appreciate people outside of that norm.

This is exactly why most drama's these days have 10% plot and 90% clichés. It's because many people are casting talentless people for useless fanservice because of the viewers. This is exactly why I respect casting directors who don't take that into account for the main leads, and will cast actual talented people. I'll be supporting Mr. Sunshine until the end.

Em Jun 28 2017 12:44 pm Agh, not him!!! too old, less attractive then this new and fresh faces and there are so many korean young and handsome actors who speak fluent English. I was so looking forward to this project after DOTS and Goblin i am sure whatevers waiting will be amazing but in my opinion and in my eyes he wont deliver that. So disappointing.

Greenluvs Jun 28 2017 10:51 am Since it sounds like the main lead is likely going to have some English lines, I think Lee Byun Hun is a good choice. Though, when I first read the synopsis, I was thinking Taecyeon would be a good choice. For female lead, I just hope it's someone that's not like, 25 years younger than LBH. Someone like Han Ji Min.

808080 Jun 27 2017 8:09 pm Other more fresh actor could have been Mr. Sunshine. not interested at all. Now the hype is gone.

nurujoong Jun 27 2017 6:47 pm why LBH??? so boring ... why not choose so ji sub?? jo in sung? kim soo hyun?? or hyun bin?

cutechloe Jun 27 2017 3:39 am Just my opinion, jo in sung should be better choice for male lead....

Sunny Jun 27 2017 12:18 am Son Ye Jin as female lead please & Kim Rae Won/Jo In Sung for second lead male

Jolly Jun 26 2017 11:50 pm Disappointed with the male lead casting. :( I can't feel any sense of sunshine from this actor.

Emy Jun 26 2017 5:39 pm I hope they give dasom a role in this drama cause she acts good the only thing is she must play in a drama with popular actors to show her skills please give a chance to shine .

Kpopper01 Jun 26 2017 2:50 pm I was hoping for Jo In Sung to get the role (ㅠ_ㅠ)

goblok Jun 26 2017 7:00 am Please for second lead is won bin , and make won bin a antagonist , close enough bro romance kim eun suk I want see won bin and lee byung hun fight for female lead I think kim min hee is good choice

Vixx_ellieb Jun 26 2017 2:36 am Omo...DAEBAK!!!...I just can't wait to watch this drama...i got high hopes...Lee Byung oppa...fighting!!!

Optimus Jun 25 2017 5:45 am Kim Tae-Hee for female lead is interesting for me if it happen. watch IRIS drama and I hate the ending. hope can see "better ending" for Lee Byung-Hun and Kim Tae-Hee although it's happen in other drama and with other characters.

sarang Jun 25 2017 4:28 am woaaaaahhhhhhh,,,,,daaaeeebbbaaakkk lee byung hun ajussi is back to drama land. i bet this drama is will be an epic drama,cant wait to watch it.

Heba Dibah Jun 24 2017 8:42 pm Best News everrrrr! Lee Byung Hun OMG i am looking forward to watch this Drama! I really hope Gang Dong-Won to join the cast he is such an amazing actor! ♥

Yani Jun 24 2017 11:38 am Lee Byung Hun is such a charismatic actor. This is going to be fun.

Ron-oppa Jun 24 2017 7:26 am Now that we have a mega top star as male lead, why don't we have a mega top star, too, as female lead. I think it's about time that Son Ye Jin goes back to dramaland, too. The time period when she was in The Last Princess is not too far from the time period of this drama. She'll nail it. It would be awesome to have Jeon Do Yeon, too. If it happens, the drama's gonna burst with acting masterclass.

I wouldn't mind having Jun Ji Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Tae Hee, too.

jerry Jun 24 2017 6:05 am i failed at my guess for the male lead. anways i can see myself in with lee byung hun see him in masquerade though theres nothing specific idea for the female lead. but i think shes gonna be late 20's or early 30's

queen Jun 24 2017 3:35 am Omg!!!!cant wait and the plot looks good???

Monino Jun 24 2017 3:14 am WOW! Lee Byung Hoon back in dramas! Looking forward to this drama!

Mikaru Mikaru Jun 24 2017 3:09 am And the male lead is Lee Byung-Hun.. i hope the male lead is Kim Soo Hyun or Won Bin.. Maybe Won Bin reject Again the offer.. But honestly Lee Byung-Hun fit the male lead criteria was searched for this drama.. And then i wanna know now who is the female lead.. i hope is Son Ye-Jin or Seo Hyun-Jin maybe..

Karen Khoo Jun 24 2017 1:10 am Byung Hun's comeback to the dramaland after 7 years!

lotlot96 Jun 23 2017 11:34 pm We need a Kim Tae Hee-Lee Byung Hun pairing to happen again please. Or Kim So Yeon will also do for the female lead. Iris feels

eida Jun 23 2017 11:22 pm yup! lee byung hun! from good, villain, rebellious, romantic... he's a very good and versatile actor... fighting!!

Sunny Jun 23 2017 8:55 am I think song joongki and park boyound would be perfect for this drama. Needless to say, he was very good in dos, needless to say, being soldier would be no problem at all.

Joona Jun 22 2017 11:50 pm Park Hae Jin is the one! :)

Wookhye Jun 22 2017 6:29 am Song Hye Kyo and Kang dong Won such a strong couple

Kiera Jun 18 2017 8:55 pm If the male lead is Park Hae Jin, I hope the female lead will be Lee Sung Kyung. I love them both in Cheese in the Trap. :)

Joni Jun 18 2017 7:20 pm Park hae jin's smile lights up the whole room. And his wide range of emotions from his different drama is really great! Hopes he'll be our man.

I'm happy that some other commenters have the same thought as I am. Because I really think he's underrated compared to other korean actors who are confined to limited genre only.

Mong Ee Jun 18 2017 12:58 pm And ohh, Choi Jin Hyuk would be a great choice too! He did so well in recent series, 'Tunnel'!

Mong Ee Jun 18 2017 12:55 pm Park Hae Jin, yes please! I must say that man has the most mysterious face ever but once he smiles, bammm, the world gets brighter.

apag Jun 18 2017 3:18 am i think han hyo joo for the female lead

jerry Jun 18 2017 3:15 am i have a strong feeling that the male lead will be park yoochun. why ? heres my answers: 1.writer kim eun-sook wants a really good actor. Park yoochun have won many best actor awards his an idol turn actor; theres a survey in a year that he is the no.1 idol turn actor 2.the male lead character job is a soldier. park yoochun is in military enlistment now which can help him pull the soldier character . 3.he will be release this august. which can possible for pre-produce that will be release in the first half of 2018. 4.the character of the male lead goes to america, park yoochun in real life live in her childhood and teenage years there so he can speak fluent english-addition ,see miss ripley. 6.his age is good for the character of the male lead. 7.he already solve his scandal.so possible that he can get the offer for the male lead

J Jun 15 2017 6:50 pm Park Hae Jin brings out that bright aura and atmosphere. He's my Mr. Sunshine.

Elle Jun 14 2017 3:01 am Haejin Park - man to man

V Jun 13 2017 6:07 am i think the lead male role must fluent in english because he stay in america why don't the writer cast a korean-american actor like daniel henney or lee phillip. i like to see one of them as a male lead role.... i looove to see one of them play in the drama again,,,,

Deedee Jun 12 2017 11:12 pm I hope it's Park Hae Jin. ❤

miranda Jun 12 2017 9:55 pm Park yoochun and park shyn hye I beg you

kath Jun 12 2017 7:30 pm Yes, please pick Park Hae Jin oppa. I love him in all of his works. I think he will be the perfectly suited Mr. Sunshine. He looks good in a military outfit and he speaks good english too! He had long English lines in Man to Man <3 :)

Hira Jun 12 2017 8:04 am Park hae jin as mr. Sunshine and Lee sung kyung as the female lead! Daebak!

Me ann Jun 11 2017 7:36 am Park yoochun

Me ann Jun 11 2017 7:33 am Writer Kim nim, would you please consider versatile and talented Park yoochun for the male lead role.Alongside with Daniel henney perhaps?

Vixy Jun 06 2017 7:42 am I really hope it's Park Hae Jin. I think he'll be the perfect fit. He did great long english lines in Man to Man too. ❤

Sarah Jun 06 2017 5:03 am Pd nim choose park hae jin he is really the lead in this role

Kailani Jun 06 2017 1:28 am If the writers follow the story line accurately, then the lead actor would have to be able to pull off a decent American accent since he would have grown up in the United States. The only actor I can think of, off the top of my head right now, that could honestly pull off a believable and not cringy version of an American accent is Taecyeon because he was raised in the states. My vote is for a Taecyeon and Park Shin Hye pairing. They were so cute together on 3 Meals a Day!

Athena Jun 06 2017 1:17 am I hope it's Park hae jin :)<3

AH-OK Jun 05 2017 11:42 pm Male Lead: kim Rae Won/Song Seung Hoon/Won Bin/Hyun bin (mature actor)

I hope your drama will be a big success like the previous dramas. Thanks ❤
