At that moment, Lee Ji-an (played by IU), who left the neighborhood for Park Dong-hoon, returns to her small boarding house and opens a packet of instant coffee to ease her hunger. Earphones are still plugged into her ears to eavesdrop on Park Dong-hoon.
On this day, Lee Ji-an confesses to Park Dong-hoon, “You’ve been kind to me more than 4 times. You’re the person I liked.” She bids farewell, suggesting, “Let’s greet each other warmly if we happen to meet by chance.” Touched by the emotions conveyed in the song “The place is too far away” that Park Dong-hoon sang with all his heart, Lee Ji-an quietly sheds tears.
The significance of the song, its appearance in the drama, and its connection to the original singer Lee Seung-jae were delved into.
The drama is praised for its portrayal of life’s struggles and the healing journey between three brothers and a tough woman.
The final lines of the drama had a strong impact on viewers, emphasizing the nostalgia for Park Dong-hoon.
The concluding scene depicts a chance encounter between Park Dong-hoon and Lee Ji-an in a café during lunchtime, exchanging a handshake before heading back to their respective offices, marking the end of “My Mister”.
