See yourself as human being on Earth
I felt each piece of this drama. They show us the real life. I really love it. If you're tired of watching fiction, this drama show you reality, give a try please.I love how characters improve themselves and how they mature slowly.
In some parts I cried a lot, In some parts I laugh a lot.
This drama is EVERYTHING đ I am glad I met this drama.
I mostly saw the drama on Instagram while watching reels. Definitely more than the parts I've watched on reels. It is more special and valuable.
I love each charachter and their chemistry, They showed us as human beings on Earth, and you will find yourself in this drama.

still not sure how i feel about this drama
I get why the writers didn't go too deep in Gu's past and also why most of their situations aren't really "solved" because it is a slice of life, we are watching their current life. We did get to see the main characters first encounter and some back story on Gu but I don't think they had to go much further.What really got me is that most of the time it was either WAY TOO SLOW or all over the place, watching some episodes felt like having a weird dream?? I had to repeat some scenes and still didn't really get what was happening (or what was the purpose?).
Also the older siblings were way too annoying. Her older brother was in everyone's business and expecting things from people that no one owned him, he really got on my nerves. The sister kinda started to seem acceptable midway drama but she never evolved from wanting to serve a man and live for him, she just never puts herself first and wants to match up to her boyfriend in everything and it also pisses me off that her boyfriend's sister was so annoying and he just let her get away with it...
I liked the Liberation Club, each members desires and how it really could be seen with FL relationships (friends, family, coworkers, ex boyfriend) and how it affected the way she sees the world.
Overall I think is a good drama for people who like slice of life and REALLY SLOW burn dramas, not really my case. I think I could've still enjoyed it if MLN didn't have 16 episodes. And the siblings weren't so annoying. And without the whole mafia unnecessary drama.
Cast was great, I LOVED watching Seok Koo playing the ML, I think he portrayed really well the lack of emotions but also the change from his character in each scenario. Jiwon was great as always, her character is complex and at the same time she's just tired of people and life, and Jiwon conveyed her evolution very well. Minki being an annoying character wasn't new but the way he's detestable here is definitely different from some other problematic characters. I also enjoyed watching Lee El performance with such a different character, since I've only seen her in Goblin before.
Definitely wouldn't watch a second time but is a good time killing drama and might also be really comforting for some people!

Making Extraordinary Out Of The Most Ordinary
Not everyone is going to like this show, but man I did. If you are looking for a classic kdrama with flashy leads and romantic kdrama moments like CLOY, this is not it. But if you are looking for a perfect ordinary slice-of-life story that feels so real, this is it. My Liberation Notes revolves around perhaps the most ordinary family I have come across in Korean television. This is not however a story where ordinary people meet a rich CEO or a handsome demigod, no, they remain ordinary and interact with the local alcoholic. So I would advise going into this show knowing that, and also that this kdrama is slow. Yes it is slow, it is hard to deny that, but if you stick with it and aren't mentally in a hurry, then it pays off so well. The messages in this story are something that feels so real. It is about normal adults living their lives but failing to find fulfillment, and they sort of drift through their lives in a state of mundanity and repetition. You have to watch it to really understand what I am talking about, but it really should resonate with many people. These people are not really traumatized or deeply depressed, they are just sick of the state of their lives and want to find something deep. The Liberation Club in the show where this topic is discussed was done very well, and I actually wished they had more of it.I keep using the word "ordinary" because this show is amazing because it takes the ordinary and makes it great: that is the strength of this show. It does not rely on cliches or fiction, it builds a hyper-realistic setting, and turns it into something amazing. Yes, a lot of this show is a family silently eating dinner at dusk, and in the beginning there is remarkably little dialogue, but this review cannot do it justice. If you want something new in a drama, and are willing to be patient, this show is very memorable and will deliver something truly special and resounding to so many, especially in the world we live in.

THIS SHOW HEALED MY HURTING SOUL!
If u like melodrama/ realife stories type of kdrama this is the perfect drama for u!! This show discusses different social issue from growing up to depression and other mental issues. This show has shown emotions on a deeper level that I have ever seen. What made this show stick with me is that theyâve done some techniques to heal and I have been using it and it has improved my mental health alot. I am so freaking grateful to writers who has written such beautiful and inspiring art. The only reason I wont be rewatching the show is that its a bit too sad to rewatch it again and feel these kind of emotions again.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
"This is just how life is..."
This drama is easy, slow-paced, heartwarming, and inspirational.I've seen this drama numerous times on my recommendations on Netflix.. but never clicked on it because I didn't feel like watching "sad-inspirational drama". After watching Son Suk-Ku in the drama 'A Paradox Killer', his aura motivated me to check his film history and I remembered that he did a drama with Kim Ji Won, which is this drama.
The way he portrayed his police officer character in the Killer Paradox and his side villain-nie... and of course, his handsome face. This made me have no choice but to check his other drama and watch 'My LiberationNotes'. Hahaha. But I do want to watch this drama so badly. I just used that as an excuse to watch it.
Anyways, in this drama... they truly demonstrated a lot of inspirational daily life choices.
The main one is alcoholism.
It's not easy to stop drinking.
It's an addiction.
But with Mi-Jeong's coping mechanism he managed not to drown himself with alcohol.
Instead of forcing him not to drink, the way she communicates with him helps him feel comfortable and allows him to trust her.
I don't really know how to explain but their relationship is so calming. I don't think their healthy relationship can be a reality in this generation as we tend to give up easily especially the more we get to know how addicted someone is to alcohol.
Yes. Love is love... but people tend to let go... because it might damage them in the future.
I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm saying.
The family issues have definitely hit me on the inside.
One being an immigrant... we may have jobs... but that's not enough to provide for ourselves and our family. I do want to help my family in my home country... but it's hard when inflations are fucked up.
Just watching the family members work hard has made me feel emotional.
The effort their parents put into providing for their children.
Lake of verbal affection; which is very normal in Asian cultures.
Asian parents tend to show affection through food and other household chores.
The struggles the siblings face every day just to survive hits me.
Life is hard.
But as they said... if you want to make a change in your life. You have to take action. But for me... how? Idk where to start or go...
Idek what I'm saying anymore.
I'm going out of topic.
In conclusion, this drama has made me emotional mentally and physically. But they inspired me.
The only brother with his change of career... im so shocked yet proud.
There are some unanswered scenes... but I love this drama.
Regardless of little skinship. I love their characters. This is probably my first drama with little to no kissing scene. And I'm totally okay with it. Tangina ang gwapo talaga ni MR. GU. AHHH.
ITS CRAZY how he's 41 years old.
At first.. im shocked about their 10-year age gap... and how Jiwon calls him Sunbaenim... but their chemistry in this drama is on point.
I LOVE IT. WOULD definitely rewatch some of their scenes together.

Please. If you don't want spoilers stop. (It's for my future References)
I don't understand the older sisters' relationship... did they end up together or not-?
The best friend girl... who's somewhat seeing the brother.. what? I don't understand...
â€
The ending tho... why does it have to be like that... whats with the last-minute fighting scene? (Totally hot th0) but still.
â€

Anyway... this hit drama hit me from the bottom of my heart.

Emotional and One of a kind Kdrama
OH MY GOD!!it's 2022 and I'm seeing this kind of drama WOW !!! I'm Thankful to each and every member who's involved in this drama.
In everyday life we've seen some sad people filled with grief and anger towards other, tired of everything , disappointed with life and trying to get better life than they have now , want to be free from the things they've been doing by force.
In this drama lead characters were no different. Which caught my attention. I could feel their emotions ..not completely but maximum time yes !
I'm still not over this beautiful drama . One of a kind . Every episode , every scene was so precious.
First I'll talk about the main couple Mi Jeong and Mr.Gu ..LOVE LOVE AND LOVE !!!
How can someone write this beautiful , genuine romance?? I'm mesmerized. Still can't get over this couple.
No skin ship , unnecessary kissing scenes , no filler romantic scenes JUST authentic romance . Worshipping each other , giving courage, supporting each other without any shame, Sharing thoughts genuinely. Heart fluttering simple moments of meeting . I just want record/remember their conversation in the part of my mind. Their each and every words made me emotional .
I can't describe their love . If you can relate to them then you'll love it, to the point where you think why it is ending?
Mi Jeong got liberated from her hatred towards men who hurt her in the past. Mr.Gu stopped being alcoholic and gave up on his rough job , they both start feeling better with each other. Their life got changed after meeting each other.
And all the three siblings got liberated ...Chang hee leave his frustrated job and found peace in whatever he wants to do.
His older sister found someone she can love .
And the best thing that all three siblings lived in Seoul together in the end.
I just loved it.
Ost-s of this drama are BEAUTIFUL !!
P.S. This Drama is for introverts who can listen , can see others sadness without getting bored. Who loves to watch genuine romance. Character development. And can feel others pain ,who have patience â€ïž
If you are one of these people..JUST GO FOR IT .

Watched something really good after a long time!!
Wow!! Just Wow! I'm trying to get over from this drama so badly. It feels like is there any drama I'll like after watching this ? Still trying to another one. Missing this drama so much. I think this drama is for introverts, or those who understands it's characters. This type of slice of life dramas are love!Each character's life & their stories are worth watching. I love Mi jeong & Mr. Gu's romance, instead of being clingy and Cliché scenes, they're so pure and truthful towards each other, they listened to each other and say what they can't say to anyone else. There's no skin ship & so many kissing scenes yet they have another level of Relationship. There's full of flaws and so true to themselves. They started from Worshiping each other and ended up loving themselves and each other. This is one of a kind love.
Chang hee & gi jeong, I liked their character development, if you notice, all characters are liberated in the end, Mi jeong, feels lovable now. Mr. Gu too, he quit drinking and maybe his job too. Chang hee had so many desires in the starting but in the end, he lives his life without frustration and doing what he actually wants to do. Gijeong finally chopped her hair and loves him earnestly.
Obviously this drama is Masterpiece & it's OSTs also, My liberation notes, sink are my favourites.
Worth watching drama for mature audience. No Clichés only PURE LOVE.

Shattering the shackels around your heart
Were you searching for answers of questions you don't actually know but you always wonder?Does it sound vague? Are you wondering what i am talking about? Go on. Dig in.
Be ready to feel stuff that don't generally want to feel because you HAVE to go do you day job or morning studies. Be prepared to question Normalcy, is it really that different from ordinary? Since, everyone wants to be extraordinary, doesn't it make Ordinary the most special.
At a first glance, this is a Ordinary drama about ordinary people leading their ordinary live.
But oh wonder!
This drama will handle the mundane aspects of life and make them kind of easy and hard hitting.
The acting from all the actors, leads as well as subs are just amazing and every person stand on their own. This makes me really glad that such a drama is regular and people are actually watching.
P.s: I will probably add stuff when, this drama will be over.

A Journey Through Quiet Lives
If youâve seen and read my review on My Mister, this will feel familiar. My Liberation Notes is another masterpiece by Park Hae-young, the maestro who penned My Mister. Once again, she showcases the beauty of the mundane with her trademark slow and deliberate storytelling that still demands your full attention. Itâs not a drama you merely watch; itâs one you experience, requiring your patience, focus, and willingness to find the extraordinary within the ordinary.This is a drama where the silence speaks louder than words, where the unspoken emotions carry the weight of the world, and where the slow unraveling of characters feels like peeling back layers of your own soul. Itâs not just about the story of three siblings and a mysterious stranger; itâs about what it means to yearn, to struggle, and to find solace amidst the quiet chaos of life.
My Liberation Notes unfolds like a soft breeze on a quiet afternoonâunassuming yet deeply stirring. The drama thrives in its ability to make the mundane extraordinary. Every scene feels like a moment stolen from real life, with characters so authentic you forget theyâre fictional. The setting of Sanpo Village, with its serene yet suffocating atmosphere, becomes more than a backdrop; itâs a living, breathing character that mirrors the emotional states of its inhabitants.
Park Hae-youngâs writing excels in subtext, inviting viewers to piece together whatâs not shown on screen. Dialogue becomes a treasure trove of hidden meanings, and every pause, glance, or sigh feels loaded with significance. Itâs a narrative style that rewards attentiveness, pulling you deeper into the lives of its characters. For those who can appreciate this meticulous approach, the payoff is immeasurable.
Kim Ji-wonâs portrayal of Yeom Mi-jeong is nothing short of revelatory. As the introverted youngest sibling, she embodies the quiet desperation of someone yearning for more yet unsure of how to achieve it. Mi-jeongâs journey from timidity to self-awareness is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her realization that sheâs battling depression and her tentative steps toward change serve as the emotional core of the drama.
Son Suk-kuâs performance as Mr. Gu is equally captivating. With his brooding presence and layers of mystery, he anchors the story without overshadowing it. Mr. Guâs interactions with the Yeom siblings, especially Mi-jeong, are filled with unspoken tenderness and quiet revelations. His characterâs slow unraveling mirrors the dramaâs deliberate pace, making every moment of vulnerability feel earned.
The supporting cast shines just as brightly. Lee El and Lee Min-ki bring depth and nuance to the roles of the other Yeom siblings, each grappling with their own struggles and aspirations. Their performances ensure that every characterâs story feels vital to the narrativeâs tapestry. Among the side characters, Jeon Hye-jinâs Ji Hyun-ah stands out. Despite limited screen time, her portrayal of a bright yet heartbreakingly loyal friend leaves an indelible mark. Hyun-ahâs resilience and warmth are a testament to the dramaâs ability to craft multidimensional characters.
The beauty of My Liberation Notes lies in its authenticity. Even at its most chaotic moments, the drama remains grounded and believable, thanks to its gentle storytelling and attention to detail. Itâs a rare gem that trusts its audience to connect the dots and draw their own conclusions, making the viewing experience deeply personal.
However, this style may not be for everyone. The dramaâs slow pacing and abundance of quiet moments might test the patience of viewers accustomed to more action-packed narratives. Additionally, the time skip in the latter half is addressed briefly and could confuse those who arenât paying close attention. While I personally appreciated the open-ended conclusion, it may leave some viewers longing for closure. The OST, while fitting, lacks the memorability of My Mister and doesnât evoke the same emotional resonance.
Despite these minor shortcomings, My Liberation Notes is a love letter to introverts and a celebration of lifeâs quiet moments. Itâs a drama that asks you to sit with it, to reflect, and to find meaning in the spaces between words. For those willing to embrace its deliberate pace and introspective nature, it offers a narrative gem that lingers long after the final episode.
My Liberation Notes is a testament to the power of gentle storytelling and the beauty of quiet moments. While its slow pace and introspective nature may not suit everyone, those who embrace it will discover a deeply rewarding narrative. Itâs a love letter to introverts and a poignant exploration of lifeâs

Struggles we all live with
STORY:This drama is interesting as it intersects the wholly real parts of everyday living with some of the less believable areas. I'm to assume this is to keep view entertainment for a fairly slow moving drama in terms of the amount that is happening. The FL is a very sweet and quiet girl and has two siblings one brother and a sister. We find that over time as the show progresses this isn't her character, she was born in a difficult period of her families life. She didn't know the love her siblings had she shut herself down, and it's hard to not look at her softly. She desperately seeks companionship in GU and we see a quiet and understanding develop between them. I found this part of the story to take the narrative elsewhere I found having GU lead this very outlandish life to take away from the show at times, but I also found it to be fun and yeah it is silly and there are charms to unrealistic plot events. I do wish it was a bit more restrained in that aspect. I found the plots of both siblings to be very well done and frankly I though they were done better than the FL and GU, they were more grounded and relatable, both struggling in their own ways that you could see them as a person you've known.
CHARACTERS:
FL:
It was very nice seeing her grow into herself, taking up more space with the confidence she has
BIG SIS:
The funniest character and most relatable, I love the way she expresses herself
BIG BRO:
Similar to big sis, he's super relatable, i think a bit less funny and his humorous manner is so catchy
GU:
I found his character to be interesting in it I wish it was done with more subtlety but I thoroughly enjoyed his time with the FL it was very touching.
MY FEELINGS:
Really amazing show, that show how life is lived and how we come into our own selves and learn to pursue love, our own personalities and to move into your own being rather than what pain has made you become.
