This is Art.
This show is undoubtedly amazing. I went into this show just expecting a simple average kdrama and got something spectacular. I LOVE this show. This is show has everything: funny moments, serious moments, character growth, plot, and realism. This show is one of the most realistic kdramas I have ever watched. It discusses serious topics that are not usually talked about in media or in tv shows. This has become one of my most favorite kdramas ever. Each character has a struggle and each character finds a way to overcome that struggle. You will love this show!Was this review helpful to you?

Slow pace
Very slow pace but It's entertaining. If you are looking or anticipating any big drama or twist, this show is not for you. This is a show mostly about perspective of life. I found myself wanting to see what each character has to say about their view of life overall. The brother character I found is the most interesting and well written.His belief about being rich or being born in bigger city and live there will change his life or make him happier change throughout the course. Mr Gu story line is really not believable. Hard to believe people will welcome someone to live or work close by without knowing anything about them AT ALL other than his last name. I was looking forward for his amazing story and turned out ,his career was even more unbelievable .
Tae hun story is the worst by far. They never reconcile his attitude towards his sisters. So we are just going to have to believe he will marry and the wife will just have to endure his sister's horrible behavior.

Very relatable!
This is an amazing drama with top tier actors! I was hooked from the very beginning! Has a little bit of “My mister” vibes but a completely different story and although at times it felt heavy and uncertain which way it was headed, i absolutely loved it! It’s in my top 3! Very real, very honest, very relatable to challenges we face everyday. I saw pieces of myself in all the characters, just wished we would’ve gotten a little more with the ending specifically Gu, which path did he take, did he stay the same? I want to believe him putting down the bottle meant he was starting something new or at least trying.. was the love she gave him enough to keep him going.Was this review helpful to you?
My liberation notes review
It is a reality based drama. Nothing so special or magical things.I liked this drama because there is no miracle or unbelievable incidents in this drama just like our lives. Our regular days filled with stress and career pressure are shown on this drama.
This type of storyline would never give people false hope. It doesn't even give you 0.000001% to hope for miracles(or magics). I think we should try to watch some realistic dramas every now and then.
Give it a try!!
People who follow the reality won't be disappointed, I guess :)

You can only find such good dialogues in novels.
I loved every minute of this series. It has such a special atmosphere, with such small details that stuck in your mind, like the billboard, all those walks from the bus station, the fields around the house.I really loved the story of the elder sister and her crush, it was so realistic, yet romantic at the same time. The series has so much more than just romance, yet almost a year after watching it, the love stories are the storylines that stayed with me the most.
The FL's worklife is extremely relatable. We all have that moment, when we realize: working is not what we expected, it is not what we dreamed about as children.
This is one of those series that makes you think about your own life.

If I could have rate it more than 10, I would've!
Up until this time I never completely believed reviews that said that "so and so" drama made me write my first review but "My liberation notes" what a show, story, and piece of art you are!Yes, this show is that one. Many people consider it as boring and very slow-paced but that is the whole point and charm of the show. It shows our day-to-day pace and a life that is relatable to millions. I got very disappointed when people consider the show actually starts getting good after episode 3. My personal favorites might be the pilot(episode 1) & episode 2. The scene I was most impressed by was the natural silence that is present in any house, with the rustling sounds of utensils while preparing and eating food, and exchanging no dialogue. This drama is touching very important and sensitive topics which are completely realistic but I am more fond of the quiet and daily life portrayed here.

Introvert heaven
This drama is not only about introverts and highly sensitive people, it also feels like it is directly made to calm the exhausted nerves and overwhelmed minds of those. Liberation Notes is about acceptance of yourself just the way you are in a world that isn't always too kind to people straying from the herd. It is healing and soothing, inspiring and encouraging.One thing I got from almost all of the storylines: to find someone you can talk to about your deepest feelings and thoughts and they don't run screaming is all you actually need. Whether you are that person for yourself or someone else is.

My Liberation Notes
I haven't finished a tv show in so long.It's odd: I have been starting shows and then just stopping them. Life has been getting in the way, and in my head, I am going crazy. And then I watched this show.
This show became a comforting presence these past few days. The quotes in this show are going to be something I will remember for a long time. The warmth is something I will cherish. The love that emits from these characters, despite maybe coming from unconventional places are something I will store safely.
Definitely in my top 5 kdramas of all time.

Quiet, low-key perfection
I loathe & shun supernatural/fantasy & have a visceral (ha!) aversion to graphic violence, so finding Dramas that hit my sweet spot is tough. MLN was outside my usual fare, but it was intelligent, thoughtful, grounded and stayed true to itself. Matter-of-factly downbeat, It didn't glorify misery or pain as artistic or 'worthy', but more important, it nailed the landing by not tacking on a jarring fairytale happy ending.In fact, because the Drama stayed so true to itself, the ending could be seen as far from happy, but it was tonally perfect for the Drama. "5 minutes a day" summed it up, and while I wouldn't rewatch it, I'm glad I strayed from my usual fare and savoured this delight.

A warm drama about real life moments, love, joy and acceptance
If I were to start writing reviews on K-dramas, it should definitely be My Liberation Notes. So I am starting.It was the most natural and sincere series I've ever watched. It portrays the life of an ordinary family in the rural such a real way. I felt like they were our neighbors and friends.
Among the characters, my favorite was "Yeom Chang Hee". At first he was an impatient and repulsive character, but then he turned into an understanding and calm person. He improved more than anyone else, accepted what he is, worked hard and found peace. Especially the scenes where he compares himself to a drizzle rather than an ocean and where he explains that he is always where he should be were great. I watched many dramas of Lee Min Kim, but it was in this drama that I realized that he is so talented.
The drama ultimately gave the message that even if everything gets worse, there can still be hope and love. Life is to be accepted as it is even you are having your worst times. One can find peace with what he/she has. These are the main points that all characters eventually reached.
In short, My liberation Notes is a great and warm drama with full of hope. If you are looking for a drama about real life moments, love, joy and acceptance, this is definitely it.

Storie di vita
My liberation notes (tradotta su netflix ne “il diario della mia libertà”) appartiene a una tipologia di serie del genere slice of life, ossia entra ad osservare i personaggi in uno specifico tempo della loro vita per poi uscirne all’improvviso lasciandoti quella sensazione di malinconia che si ha quando finisci un bel libro che vorresti continuasse ancora.La storia è molto semplice (senza nessuno spoiler perché la bellezza di scoprire lentamente il carattere dei personaggi è impagabile), è la storia di tre fratelli che vivono nella periferia rurale di Seul e sono costretti tutti i giorni ad un viaggio sfiancante da pendolari, alle prese con le proprie disillusioni e le proprie fobie, i problemi sul lavoro, la vita sentimentale, la vita in famiglia, perchè, in fondo, la vita non va mai come si vorrebbe.
L’ arrivo di un personaggio misterioso e silente nel paesino influenzerà loro vite.
Ė una serie malinconica nonostante la maggior parte degli eventi si svolgano durante una caldissima estate, una serie che si prende i suoi tempi, nella quale i silenzi, a volte, contano molto più delle parole.
Una serie che mi sento assolutamente di consigliare.
Voto 10
«Cinque minuti al giorno. Se hai cinque minuti di pace, la vita è sopportabile. Cerco di raccogliere momenti di euforia in parti da quattro a dieci secondi per coprire quei cinque minuti.
Riempio cinque minuti al giorno così.
È così che sopravvivo».

Coup de cœur pour ce voyage initiatique rare...
Contrairement à une multitude de dramas qui rendent la vie des personnages (et du spectateur) plus facile, My Liberation Notes brise ce concept. Il nous confronte aux épreuves du quotidien dont on supporte le poids en silence. C’est un tranche de vie dans les règles de l’art qui nous force à affronter cette vie monotone et répétitive qu’on aspire à fuir.C’est écrit avec finesse et subtilité. On y découvre beaucoup d’introspection qui mène à de nombreux questionnement – tant pour les personnages que pour nous, spectateurs. Nous avons tous des vies, envies et souhaits différents. Mais lesquels sont réellement les nôtres ? Comment distinguer les envies d’autrui et les siennes dans une société qui semble mieux savoir que nous, ce à quoi nous aspirons ?
My Liberation Notes est un drama sur le quotidien répétitif. Mais cette répétitivité n’est pas sans but, car chaque épisode qui amène une nuance. Certains critiques pointent le manque d’action ou de scénario. En réalité, c’est tout l’intérêt d’un tel drama. Et pour cette raison, il ne convient pas à tout le monde. C’est une vision du monde, une critique de la société et de ce qu’elle attend de nous. Tout comme l’acceptation de ne pas être dans le moule et ne pas s’en vouloir si on décide d’emprunter de nouveaux chemins. Je pense aussi que l'âge est un facteur important. Je suis persuadée qu'à 16 ans, je n'aurais probablement pas trouvé ce drame si spectaculaire.
Chaque membre du quatuor a ses propres démons auxquels ils vont devoir faire face. Mi Jeong par le fait de pouvoir s’identifier, avoir le sentiment d’être vivante et libérée. Ki Jeong, va chercher cette évasion par le mariage. Chang Hee, le frère, par le biais d’un métier qui puisse l’épanouir. Quant à Mr Gu, c’est au fond d’une bouteille de soju. Pourtant, chaque est repoussé dans ses retranchements tout en sachant que le lendemain matin, il faudra recommencer.
Il sera difficile d’ignorer les personnages et leurs interprètes. Au travers d’un regard, d’une larme ou d’une réplique, chacun fait mouche. Pas de grands discours ou de longues crises de larmes. Allez à l’essentiel est plus impactant qu’un long discours. L’ensemble donne aux spectateurs de quoi se remettre lui-même en question. Et si on se trouve dans une situation similaire, cela nous permet de s’identifier et de peut-être débuter notre propre introspection.
C’est un aperçu de la vie. Un drama d’une rare beauté et d’un naturel frappant. Avec ses dialogues percutants, sa mélancolie constante et son émotion, tout désespoir connaît son espoir. C’est une quête de liberté comme peu d’autres.
