If you've watched even one K-drama, you know that many of them are very loud. What I meant by loud is sound effects, never-ending background music, watching the same scene from 4 different camera angles. These kind of dramas are pretty fun and enjoyable for sure, but sometimes you just want to watch calm scenes, a beautiful cinematography, the bird sounds, their talks while walking, the cricket sounds all the time through the summer. This is a drama that you will find peace.

My Liberation Notes is a realistic drama that shows you three sibling's life. İt is so realistic that hurts to watch sometimes. I didn't notice while watching the drama but after I finished it, I realize how many thing happened in this drama. İt didn't feel like I watched 16 episodes, I felt like I watched a bunch of people's life for a straight year. But it's actually only been a week since I started it. There is a pretty big difference between the first and the last episode. Some of them found how to be happy, some of them found the liberation they were trying to find, some of them stayed the same. But at the end of it, so many things changed for all of their's life.

Yeom Mi-Jeong: She wasn't a person who had a lot of dreams. Actually, she didn't have any dreams, she didn't know what to do, how to be happy, how to be friends with the people. She just made a very sudden move and watched it how it is becoming to be a source of happiness. Mr.Gu and her really loved each other. Their relationship wasn't healty all time nor happy. They were just together at the sad and happy times. They both didn't know where this relationship is going or it's going to be a long term relationship, they just kept going. But I think we are all sure that they found happiness with each other. The Liberation Club is definitely a kind of club that I want to be in. Three people who don't want to act happy or sad, they just wanted to tell their experiences to strangers who wouldn't give them ridiculous advice. And at the end, they were successful about this club.

Yeom Gi-Jeong: How much I love this woman. She was just being herself all the time. Never tried to be someone else change for someone else. She just wanted to be loved by being herself. She had flaws, but she tried to make up for them all. The most touching scene of her for me was the scene where she kneeling next to her bed and apologizing to everyone she had ever mistreated. İt was so hard to love a man who has a daughter for her but she was okay with it. She loved him truly and said she can be the mother for his daughter. This was pretty big step for her but she was ready to do it. Yeom Gi-Jeong is a very brave character. Her watery eyes after her mom died made me so emotional every single time. I'm sure that Lee El is the only person who could play this role this beautiful.

Yeom Chang-Hee: He wanted something he had. But after he got it, he found out he wasn't trying to have something, he wanted to be alone with something he had. When he said that he is happy while sitting on the edge of a mountain with his coffee, watching the view, I understand what he will at the end of his story. And I was right. He is still alone and very happy. He accidentally entered a wrong classroom and found the job he will be doing for rest of his life. Yeom Chang-Hee witnessed so many deaths through his life and always said that my instincts take me there. He was right. I think ending of the drama for him was perfect.

Mr.Gu: Even though we still don't know many things about him, I want to talk about how his behaviours developed through the drama. I definitely think that Yeom Mi-Jeong was the person who is his savior. I don't know that if he was more happy at Sanpo or Seoul, but he become happier every time he saw Yeom Mi-Jeong. His character was mysterious and I really loved that. I think Son Suk-Ku was the perfect person to play this role.

Ji Hyeon-Ah: Unlike how people sees her, she was a caring person. Tried to find happiness in others but couldn't find it. İt was so good to see that she is taking care of her old boyfriend in the hospital. I wish she would've saw his last day. I sensed that they will be together from the start with Yeom Chang-Hee. But I wasn't surprised that this couldn't work. If i'm being honest, they were incompatible with each other.

The things I didn't like about this drama are very few.

First: the sharp cuts between the scenes. I don't like that the scene ends suddenly with the music. I know this is a pretty common thing to see but I think this is something that makes me uncomfortable. I would want to see this in the thrillers, like the drama The Frog did.

Second: The ending in the final episode. İt ended when we saw Yeom Mi-Jeong's face. I would have wanted to see all of the faces I saw so far.

Third: Some of the camera angles annoyed me. I want to see them in the middle of my screen in the important scenes.

So as I said I have only a few things I didn't like about this drama and that's all of them.

I was so satisfied with the actings in this drama. Especially The Father (Cheon Ho-Jin) and the Mother (Lee Kyung-seong) They are already incredible actors but I want to talk about them more. Their father talked with his eyes all along. You could see the sadness and happiness through his eyes. His sentence that made me so emotional is the "I thought I was taking care of the children, but after their mother died, I realized they were taking care of me." He is an incredible actor. And their mother. How can anyone play this realistic? She made me believe that how hard her life was. I should say that it was an honour to watch them.

The cinematography is insanely beautiful. Especially the views we saw at the Sanpo. I wanted to be there. I wanted to watch the view and listen to bird sounds.

The OST's were pretty good. It would've been better but it is good for this drama. They were calm and relaxing. Some of them expressed the sad feelings so well. But the main OST, My Liberation Notes, is just perfect. İt makes me feel all the emotions at the same tie.

I'm only 16 years old now and I've never experienced most of what I saw in this drama, but there were many points in this drama that touched my heart. I hope you can see what I saw at this drama too.

I hope I expressed myself clearly and didn't make many mistakes because my first language isn't English and I'm not very good at it. Have a good day.
