However, the pressure is on her brother to carry on the proud family tradition, as women aren't allowed to become professional painters. While her brother trains to take his place in the court, Yun Jeong helps him out by secretly painting for him. The little girl's life is turned upside down when her brother kills himself. In order to preserve the family honor, she is forced to take her brother's name and lives as a man. Yun Bok's genius and talent capture the heart of another great master of the time, Kim Hong Do.

But her daring depictions of women are condemned by the royal institute as obscene. Yun Bok meets Kang Mu and falls deeply in love. For the first time, she feels the strong desire to abandon everything she has built and simply be a woman in front of the man she loves. Kang Mu sacrifices all for his love as well. Kim Hong Do, who loved the genius of his best student, ends up loving everything about her, and Seol Hwa, a Gisaeng at the courtesan house, possesses a love for Hong Do that turns into fatal jealousy. The secret behind Shin Yun Bok's masterpiece, Portrait of a Beauty, is finally revealed after 250 years of silence.

Quite surprised that this has not been recommended in tandem yet.

- Both cover the mundane lives of three main characters.
- Characters are in their 20s and 30s trying to achieve financial and professional stability.
- Deep conversations and dialogue on life and existence as a youth in the 21st century.
- The vibes and mood of these two are similar. However, you won't get as much humour in My Liberation Notes.

Both are romances where characters meet due to the chef character making something and the other eating it. In both one of the characters has difficulty eating (eating disorder vs. preferences). Both dramas deal with bullying and the emotional consequences.

Both feature a student/teacher romance between the older FL who tutors him and the younger ML who falls first. In both dramas, the ML has a strained relationship with his father, and his mother is no longer living.
