At some point during almost every episode of My Liberation Notes I found myself having to pause, and think - often…
Wah, I am /so/ curious about the scene in ep 8 - I would love it to know which one it is. I really hope you are inspired to watch other works of PHY in the future. Thanks for reading and commenting!
i just finished watching My Mister and i agree with literally everything you said in that section—MLN is currently…
Thanks thanks thanks! I am so glad that you liked our article - and yes, it is robably not completely spoiler-free, so please watch MLN first :D And please share your thoughts afterwards!
i only watched My Mister and i have to say that i hate the way she portrayed the ML, it wasn't believable at all…
I felt the ML was such a great guy. I don`t think he behaved unmanly or submissive in any aspect. I see a man who takes responsibility not only for himself, but also for his siblings and mother, for his work and the team he works with. For me it makes sense that he also takes responsibility for his wife`s infidelity. His wife isn`t "a girl who sleeps around". She, too, takes responsibility, earns money for her family, they brought up a son together and shared a big part of their life. I wish there were more men out there who take responsibility for the things that happen. As you say, it is hardly believable that a man reacts in this way. It is always easy to blame others, so this is more likely to happen. This ML doesn`t go the easy way, and for me, who watches, it is amazing to see a story about a man who lives in such an unlikely way, and the people who meet him and get inspired by him. And I agree with popcxqueen and Shiro - how you see things is one matter, using the word pussy like this is mysogynistic.
I am a big appreciator of writers, and writing, and sentiment found in between those lines. PHY has proved herself…
You are not a party pooper, not at all! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I always look at the directors, too. I like Song Hyun-wook best with Park Hae-young, since he made things so fun to watch. My Mister is partly difficult to bear. Uh, that loan shark is scary.
I wanted to check which dramas you already saw, but you don`t have a watchlist... before recommending something it might be better to ask what you especially liked about My Mister. For me, personally, Another Miss Oh, My Mister and My Liberation Notes feel similar, but it depends on your perception.
"Daddy Long Legs could do with quotation marks or hyphens: 'Daddy-Long-Legs', but would still have weird connotations. In English, this phrase refers to spiders or flies having long legs. The title should have been 'My Benefactor'. Feels like [A] to me."
I loved your article! The only thing I have to say: Daddy Long Legs makes sense to me. I read the book, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy-Long-Legs_(novel), which is about a unacquainted benefactor, so for me Daddy Long Legs is a spider, but at the same time a synonym for a benefactor who is hidden somewhere.
