My Liberation Notes

Despite this not being a tragic or distressing episode, it was touching and emotional. It brought me to endless tears, yet made me laugh. I admire how the drama takes its time, nothing is ever rushed, not even the dialogues, but more than other episodes, this one was elegantly done. But then I am always mesmerized by Boo Jung and Kang Jae when they are together. The anticipation and longing on Kang Jae's face when he saw Boo Jung through the police station window was palpable, but so was hers when she spotted him. She looked like she wasn't sure he would come. I didn't expect Boo Jung to be as direct as she was, nor did Kang Jae from his reactions. I loved every minute of them together.

Kang Tae Oh smile in this picture is so infectious

thank you :)

I've watched Jdramas and have a few I liked, but always open to recommendations. Please share the ones that moved you when you get a chance.

Thank you :)

The darker the mood, the deeper the anguish. It's telling, even in the way the scenes are shot, everything is bleak and somber. The agony each character lives in this drama, it's debilitating to watch. But more than any other episode, this one hurt. I felt physical pain. I've never felt like this about a drama before, and I am not sure I will ever again. They say time heals all wounds, but not for Boo Jung or Kang Jae. On the contrary, time seems to have stood still, if not grown more agonizing. All the narration is getting to me, his, hers; it's killing me.

Thanks

But isn't that the essence of being lost -- depressed; feeling sadness and/or loss of interest in anything and everything, not wanting or being able to get off the couch?

I agree, it makes one understand their actions a little more, rather than simply dislike them for it.

Yes, but I am not sure why; maybe they didn't realize it right away -- I hope they explain it more at some point because I am interested in knowing how and why

I commend the writer for the storytelling. From Just's sister, worried her boyfriend will leave her for his ex-wife, to the actress frightened the fake image she built will crumble to the lonely mother-in-law and even the ex-girlfriend. The more we get to know them, the harder it is to not empathize with them, as unlikable as some are. But of all of them, Woo Nam annoyed me the most for making Soon Gyu feel so unwanted in her own home. I wish they talked used actual words for a change, rather than the deafening silence. Typically Boo Jung breaks my heart to pieces every episode, but it was all Kang Jae and his unbearable loss this time around. Today's episode had me wondering if Jung Woo and Boo Jung were related somehow.

Kim Rae Won, enough said!

Happy for Park Byung Eun, I look forward to seeing him as a leading man.

Good for them; I enjoy it a great deal

I am deep in my senses with this drama. I hope they don't decide to cut it short of its 16 episodes because of ratings like they did with a Piece of Your Mind, another sinfully underrated drama.

Well said. They say good fiction creates empathy. A good drama such as this one takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life, because we can only understand people if we feel them in ourselves. And if you can't feel them, you will never understand them or what they go through.

I took your advice :) and figured I should stop by and comment as well. Thank you for looking for me, much appreciated.

Time and time again, without fail; this drama makes me stop and contemplate life. We are all faced with daily choices and decisions that impact our time and ultimately our life. It is the small decisions we make day in and day out that determine who we really are. The crucial decisions may scream for attention, yet they are merely the result of all the small decisions we have made, or avoid making that may bring us to that point of no return. I love a drama that makes me think, and this one definitely does. I cannot wait to see what more Lost has in store for us in the coming weeks.
