It's not in your face though. As it's about changes that are being operated within the characters and the change in dynamics it subsequently has in their relationships. Hence the title "My Liberation Notes".
The characters are seeking to liberate themselves from the stillness of their lives but also from the rigidity of the Korean society. Each of then has a different journey.
To illustrate how good this drama is, Our Blues was much more popular from the get go but people began watching MLN and liking it more (in the sense that they liked discussing the episodes)
It generated much talk and the actors and the drama where the most buzzworthy for 3 to 4 consecutive weeks.
When you finish watching episodes and if you have time, go on Reddit and read some of the discussions people had about the drama. It's very thought provoking.

This drama generated a lot of conversations lately as people talked in depth about he characters, their motivations and relations.

Let's not forget that she was a widow who also lost her older daughter -who brought home some income. Remember how DS mentioned he threw his pee at his sister the day before her death because she had eaten everything so quickly and he was still hungry ?
Living in this island at that time wouldn't have been easy eapecially for a woman alone and worse if she had a lid to take care of.
Also what happened was an accident, the sister is as responsible regarding for me. She was consentant and made the conscious choice to cover for FL when she thought her injury wasn't too bad. She only grew resentful when she was told she wouldn't be able to play at pro level anymore.
She really self-centered!
Don't get me started on the mother whi jas an unhealthy obsessiin for her daughter to the point she made her the golden child. I think she has some nerves demanding ML leaves his gf because his sister would have a hard time handling it.
ML is being too nice! I would have told then to mind their own business. When the mother chose to care more about the sister, she forfeited the right to make demands on her son's life and when the sister chose to not to follow the rules and go play with her teammate instead of staying put, she took on the responsibility of what would happen to her.
It's not even as if FL took the choice out of her because she had become unconscious or something. She lied right alongside FL at the time.
It could have been higher if not for FL, SML and SFL.
FL should have woken up earlier imo. For someone who's supposed to be intelligent, cultivated, empathetic and nice, she was too biaised toward ML even when she knew he endangered himself time and again to save her. Even when he changed from the arrogant heir of the Xiao family to a responsible commander...
She was always talking about trust but she never once gave him the benefit of the doubt when it's what he always did with her.
She demanded trust but never did anything to deserve it and couldn't trust her own husband over what other people were doing.
She facilitated people coming between them imo.
SML could have been better imo. I think his role would have been more impactful if he'd turned rogue after having been kicked out of YMCA.
Instead, we are make to see him work for the japanese because they are holding his mother hostage.
For me, this guy wasn't as interested in his counties freedom from the corrupts as we were made to believe. We more than once witnessed him putting his obession for FL and one-sided rivalry with ML over his missions.
The way I see him, he was someone who couldn't be faithful. He worked with the revolutionaries because it suited his situation (a young lord from a fallen family who resented having nothing to his name when he used to come from upper society), he worked for the warlord (he liked prancing around with his borrowed power to try and one up ML) and finaly for yhe japanese (because he wanted to fuck over ML even if it meant working for those who were harming the country he claimed he wanted to protect).
SFL is one character I disliked because she was useless. Her little shenanigans were okayish at first but when she turned to the Japanese after losing everything, she was just THERE. It's at the very end that we get to see what was her role in the japanese plan and it wasn't so great.
I feel that for someone who was crazy in love for ML, her love turned to hate and that's all. She wanted to destroy him at all cost when she used to claim she couldn't live without him.
I feel it would have been interesting if her character was the one who killed the japanese to save ML at one point because though she hates him, she can only remember the times she loved him.
For me SML is the one who should have had a pathetic death without the FL shedding a tear for him.
He should even have had a pathetic, lonely and anonymous end in the chaos because that's how pathetic he was for me.
She still kept in contact with ger sister and took her of her financially but she wasn't in an emotional state to do so.

First because it's a choice that was made without your consent
Second because you know you'll have the responsibility to take care of your sick sibling until the end of your life.
The situation is much worse in the show because she had to be responsible for her sister all alone since she 12
Third point imo, there are no proper facilities to take care of them. The two sisters when in the same class and the facility in which the sister is currently is a small facility run by a compassionate woman.
Let's not for get that it's Korea we are talking about and they aren't the most tolerant people out there (case in point the guy who was pissed to be seated beside the sister in the plane and who changed seat)
It's complicated enough in western countries where people are more aware of Down Syndrome.
Let's not forget that she has been disappointed tome and again in her relationships because no one wanted to accept her sister as she'd be a responsibility they'd have to take on for life.
Also, Kim Woo Bin still wants to marry her he'll have to face his family disapproval because in Korea they take these kind of factor into account alongside finances. They'll undoubtedly seethe sister as a burden and also the risk for her to get pregnant with a disabled child as it's genetic.
