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! : )Was this review helpful to you?

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.

Healing drama
My Liberation Notes is a very realistic drama that will only be enjoyable if you can relate to at least one character. i personally believe every character is extremely relatable. Mi-Jeong is tired and feels stuck and wants someone to see her, to liberate her. i would relate Gi-Jeong to the song Liquid Smooth by Mitski.She wants to fall in love, but her standards are too high. she says she will "fall in love with anyone" and starts to realize she was the only person holding herself back and sees how to love someone for themselves! Chang-hee was definitely lost for a while, constantly stressing his parents out, but he just needed guidance. Mr. Gu becomes that older brother he always wanted which leads him to remember the won coin & mountain metaphor. Mr. Gu's character isn't a man of many words, but as the series goes on we start to understand why. i liked how they showed even though he was functioning well, he was still an alcoholic with loads of trauma; and they didn't make his problems disappear after he fell in love. I promise the drama isn't super depressing, i've heard a lot of ppl don't like it because it moves slow, but the show is just realistic. Mi-Jeong is miserable and feels alone, she wants to be seen and loved by anyone.Was this review helpful to you?
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

You recognize yourself in it.
Everything about this drama feels so special and so carefully thought out that it almost feels personal.Writing gets you quietly. Not through grand moments, but through the small, honest ones.
Conversations that feel true. Details that feel chosen. Emotions that feel earned rather than performed.
You recognize yourself in it, and that kind of recognition is genuinely rare.
Characters are written with genuine love and you can feel it.
You do not just watch them move through a story. You start caring about them the way you care about people you actually know.
By the time you realize how attached you have become, you are already in too deep.
And acting brings all of that home. Nothing is forced or overplayed. Every expression, every pause, every silent exchange lands exactly where it should.
At some point you stop thinking about performances and you just see people.
Whole world of it is beautiful. The cinematography, the direction, the music.
None of it is decoration. Every piece earns its place. Music especially knows when to speak and when to let a scene simply breathe.
Nothing here exists just to fill space. Everything carries meaning, and you can feel how much care went into building that.
It makes you laugh. It breaks your heart a little. It makes you think.
And sometimes it just leaves you sitting quietly with your own thoughts, which is maybe the most honest thing a story can do.
Even after it ends, part of it stays. That is what genuinely exceptional writing does. It does not just tell a story. It gives you something to carry.
A beautiful piece of art. Do not miss it. 🍀

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 DRAMA FELT REAL IN EVERY WAY
A calm and deeply sincere story about people who feel stuck and tired of their daily lives. It follows three Yeom siblings and Mr. Gu as they face loneliness, frustration, and the desire to break free from their routines. A drama that focuses on emotions that feel close to real life, and that’s what drew me in.I connected the most with Mi Jeong. She’s quiet and keeps everything inside, but I could feel how much she wants to be understood. Her bond with Mr. Gu, a man with a painful past, isn’t about epic love story, I’d rather explain it as poetic, very poetic and has depth.
What I liked most is how real everything felt. There were moments were I felt seen, especially through Mi Jeong’s thoughts and Mr. Gu’s silence.
The cinematography and OST were really good. The empty roads, train rides, and fields feels like almost poetic. Maybe it’s just me but I think the weather seems to mirror the character’s emotions. Everything works perfectly, it’s just brilliant.
I liked that it’s an open ending story, I feel like hopeful and I feel like their stories are still unfolding somewhere off screen. The pacing can be slow and it might not be for everyone. But for me, that’s what made it hit deeper.

Acting 10/10

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.

Absolutely Wonderful.
At first I thought it would be one of those dramas that try to be overtly profound but doesn't live up to that expectation. But this was extremely relatable and very soul stirring. All of the siblings' stories were so well written and scripted that I was so engrossed in every single one, no side story was lacking. The acting was amazing for every character, you felt their pain and gripes, you begin to understand why they are the way they are, especially when looking at their family dynamic, past relationships, and current situations.One big thing I took away from this drama is that it's hard to change who you are, life is hard, but you shouldn't have to struggle alone. Also sometimes its best to accept people for who they are.
I have nothing but praise for all the actors, writers, and editors of this drama. Will watch again in the future.
If you're an introvert or socially anxious you may find the two main leads extremely relatable.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
Changed my life perspective.
I was at my lowest point when I watched the drama. I was feeling a lot of things, lying alone on a hospital bed. I didn't know what to do with my life next, and I felt overwhelmed. But then I watched the drama, and it changed everything.The drama was about a group of people who were all struggling in their own way. Watching the drama gave me hope and comforted me in a way that made me feel seen. It showed me that my struggles were valid. It showed me that I wasn't crazy. It showed me that I wasn't alone.
I'm so grateful for the drama. It helped me to get through my darkest time. I'll never forget the impact it had on my life.
If you're feeling lost, alone, and hopeless, I encourage you to watch the drama. It might just change your life.
