[Orion's Daily Ramblings] Lee Sun-kyun and Lee Ji-eun's World-weary Posters for "My Mister"

"My Mister" has caused quite a stir as a work. Between the possibility of an age gap romance, which doesn't sit well with everyone, and the change in a main role from actor Oh Dal-soo to actor Park Ho-san, the production has not seen much of a break. Regardless, promotion moves along, and it has two very nice posters to show for.

The drama has released stills of its leads, Lee Sun-kyun and Lee Ji-eun, which really capture the premise quite well. "My Mister" is a show about three middle-aged brothers living through a tiresome life, and a young woman who has been through a lot for her young age. Despite audience worries about romance, this is more of a sombre, and hopefully uplifting healing drama.

I personally have no issue with age gap romances if the characters are consenting adults without major power imbalances or abusive behavior involved, but it's certainly nice to see a work tackling a bond that's beyond mere fanservice. The posters are as simple and honest as the premise. I'm particularly fascinated by the poster for Lee Ji-eun. Her character, Lee Ji-an, looks so despondent and just numb. The actress takes on a very powerful expression for it.

Lee Sun-kyun and Lee Ji-eun have also talked a bit about each other. Lee Sun-kyun has stated that this work will be one of actress Lee Ji-eun, not singer Lee Ji-eun, using his co-star's real name to emphasize her transformation. I quite liked Lee Ji-eun in "Producers", so I have every faith in that statement. Lee Ji-eun herself has stated that she is learning a lot and practicing a lot, and that acting with Lee Sun-kyun feels really special.

"My Mister" premieres on the 21st of this month, and I may just check it out if I read good things about it. My drama wishlist is overflowing lately. I hope "My Mister" can remain there until I get to it.
