A wonderful journey

"My liberation Notes" is one of those pleasant surprises that you come across in life. This show is based on things in life that you can easily relate to. It is a journey, a long ride with ups and downs, that makes you feel that it was worth every minute of it.

A 16-episode, well-written show that puts things into the perspective of introverted people; it makes you wander; it makes you feel their emotional journey.

What I really found fascinating about this show is that it didn't need that much dialogue. Instead, they deliver the context and the important pieces of the story in a raw but well-defined way through the characters' emotions.

I would definitely recommend you sit down, relax, watch, and enjoy this exquisite show while being carried out by their wonderful journey.

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 they’ve 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.

It's just calming and relaxing!

In the first 2 episodes, I thought and felt that the drama is too slow, but from the ending of the 2nd episode till the latest episode, I feel that this drama progressed pretty well. Somehow it made me feel calm and relaxed my brain. It also raised many questions about how we percieve others and ourselves. The feeling that this drama gives is just beautifull. I didn't even realize that I started loving this drama so much. It somehow made my day joyfull and made me feel at peace at the end of the day. If you are also searching for such a drama then just go for it. It may seem slow in the begining but it is just to build up a background. For me this drama was just perfect for these crazy hot summer days. Thanks to the makers and the cast for doing their best! : )

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.

Didn't deliver what's expected


this is my first review on this website .
first of all excuse my english ,
about the series i expected a better script with more engagement from the Ml all we got few words from him on each episode with no impact whatsoever on the story and this goes till episode 6 or 7 i believe that we start getting some interactions.
the background story of the main lead was totaly negligated and even when we had a glance of it all was expected and seen before . the other thing i didn't like is the approach the series took to showcase relations and dating in General it was so frustrating to watch with so much repetition.i did enjoy some of the ost the drama felt cozy the characters are likable if i have to blame something on this series it's definitely the script .
thank you

Relaxing drama

This drama goes as it is. From the beginning of this drama to the end of this drama, everything feels comfortable and nothing seems forced. The acting of the cast is also very good.

I feel that this drama feels more alive because there are significant differences between the characters, especially the character Chang Hee who brings the drama to life.

This drama seems to teach us to continue living, whatever happens, the important thing is to live first. Even though we don't know where we are going, for sure we will all achieve our freedom.

As slice-of-life as it gets!

From all the kdramas I have watched My Liberation Notes is the first drama that for me was undoubtedly a 10/10 rating. The writing of this drama is so masterful that I am in awe. It’s so well-woven that the storylines connect to one another so smoothly and the drama flows just so gently. I loved every single character and every storyline, which is something that has never happened to me with another drama before. It was wonderful to see the characters developing and eventually finding themselves.

The drama is slow, and nothing much happens, just like life, which is why I feel that this is the ultimate slice-of-life drama. We get to peek into the mundane lives of these three siblings living in Sanpo and traveling to Seoul every day, and the lives of people around them. It can get sad, happy or even cruel just like life. But this drama comforted me and made me feel better without being preachy or over-the-top. It reminds you that it’s okay to live life your own way as long as you are at peace with yourself. It portrays these realistic relationships that can’t fit into frames set up by the society. The characters go on this journey where they figure out what they want and whether or not they want to live by the conventions forced upon them. I loved how realistic the relationships in the drama were because in life nothing is black and white, and being in love doesn’t magically make everything go smoothly in life.

The conversations and dialogues in the drama were so witty and so relatable for me on a personal level. As someone who is depressed and has felt like I don’t fit in with the rest of the world, seeing such emotions put into words, I felt understood, I felt that maybe there are other people out there who feel the same way too.

Overall, My Liberation Notes is a feel-good, comforting slice-of-life drama that helps you slow down and catch your breath. There aren’t many mind blowing twists or complicated plot lines, but it manages to keep you captivated with it’s honesty, mundanity and refreshing wholesomeness.

Look for youe WHOLE SELF, not your half?

If My Liberation Notes deserve something, it's a standing ovation. With Kim Jiwon's 1st project since 2022 starring along Son Seokgu Lee Mingki and Lee El, My Liberation Notes is a perfect drama for you if you're perplexed about so many things in life that approaches you.
The slow scenes, words of wisdom, juxtaposition of tranquil countryside and busy citylife, how the word "MY" in the title is completely about self liberation and finding out everything that is their issue, and most importantly the male and female leads being each other's catalysts into embracing liberation, and taking small trudging steps out of their miseries, this drama speaks a lot on introverted, distraught, and exhausted people like me myself who have a hard time dealing with their life :") you all deserve a warm hug and wise words!!

And if you're feeling to hit rock bottom, normalize to blame the female lead's ex for it :")

I hope you find your liberation, as you decide to stream My Liberation Notes!💜💜💜

This review may contain spoilers
This is one of those kdramas that make you feel empty once youre finished because you develop such a strong connection between the characters and feel as if youre the one living their life or atleast being a part of their life. It makes you think about your life in such a philosophical way...like was it ever that deep? Lol, it made me want to be zen about everything, like everything will be alright, why am I stressing so much when everything evetually passes? Why am I so stuck on this? Everything finds its own path and that person you're looking for will come to you one day, whether you're the type to wait or not, they will come- because fated things always happen. Your fate is not overlooked, your time will come and you will enjoy things again.

Its just such a beautiful kdrama with a beautiful message..please if you ever feel low or in need of a slightly dark yet pure kdrama, then this is it really! Every episode will not make you bored.

Heartfelt Reflections

My Liberation Notes" is like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a close friend, delving deep into the intricacies of life and your own existence. It leaves you with a comforting warmth, yet beneath the surface, it stirs something within you – an invitation to reflect on the profound themes it explores. I've absolutely fallen in love with this story, its characters, and its unapologetic portrayal of life's imperfections. It doesn't shy away from the difficult moments that make you feel isolated and lost, but it gently reminds you that you're human, still on the journey of self-discovery.
The script is brilliantly crafted, the cast delivers outstanding performances, and the music enhances the entire experience. "My Liberation Notes" is a captivating blend of elements that come together to create something truly amazing.

Be Happy With Yourself

The acting of this drama was great. The sadness, and misery the actors had on their face was overwhelming. I watch every week to see if they ever had any happiness. I could not understand how they made it day by day with such misery about their life and the stage of their life they were in. They constant complaint about there life. How they stay civil to each as siblings once they got home and be with their parents. I felt bad for their mom who was over work all the time. Between working at home doing house work or out in the field. Even working at the factory with her husband making cabinets and yet she still had to do house work afterward. I kept trying to find whet happiness they could have or satisfaction and yet at the end I still could not see if they ended really happy with life and satisfied or just realize thing could not get better. Very hard psychological drama to me. I ended up being happy and satisfied with my life and how little I have but I can smile every day.
