One fan was speechless, declaring it the greatest Korean drama ever made. They said it makes them cry with every episode, and it’s not just the emotional story – the writing and acting are so good, it feels like watching a movie.

One viewer shared, “I finally finished this drama and I completely understand the high ratings. I’m honestly at a loss for words!”

The show has received numerous accolades, such as the Best Drama award at the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Grand Prize at the Seoul Awards.

While My Mister is new to Prime, the series is also available on Netflix.

Okay, so as a gamer, I also love kicking back and watching stuff over the holidays! I just saw the Good Housekeeping Christmas TV Guide, and it looks awesome. It’s got 14 days of listings so you won’t miss a thing, and it’s only £4.75. I spotted it at Morrisons and TG Jones, but apparently it’s in most good magazine shops too. Perfect for planning my Christmas binge-watching!
