Love, Not Romance: A My Mister Meta

By Overthinking Kdramas from tumblr

When I see the arguments about whether the relationship between Dong Hoon and Ji An is of a romantic nature or if it is purely platonic, I can’t help but feel like we’re missing the message of the entire drama. Or perhaps I should say, we’re feeding into the exact issue which My Mister has decided to take on as its central theme.

Are the societal barriers against Dong Hoon and Ji An too great to be overcome? There’s generational gap, socioeconomic differences, societal expectations, and crimes on top of that… But @chickfactor thinks that if society says that Dong Hoon can’t be with Ji An, then he will reject society. Because “it’s nothing.”

And in a way, Dong Hoon’s journey of defying societal expectations mirrors the show’s own journey.
