My Liberation Notes

Funny enough it's about being lost

I don't want this drama to end; I'm going to feel so lost without it.

I think this drama is more about wanting what you can't have

My Mister's OST was amazing

There was so much to like in episode 12, so much intimacy and openness it made my heart flutter. Be it with Boo Jung and Kang Jae, Min Jung and Tak-yi, Woo Nam, and even the mother-in-law. For the first time, it seemed like everyone was being honest with themselves. They say first impressions are lasting, but this episode made me realize that not everything we see or think of someone is always true. That there is a story behind every person, there is a reason why they're the way they are -- it gave me hope not only for how things may turn out for Boo Jung and Kang Jae, but also for everyone. And as much as I found joy in their togetherness, as much as I was hurt by their goodbye. I felt something priceless was coming to an end.

are they like copying random comments; that's weird

Despite this not being a tragic or distressing episode, it was touching and emotional. It brought me to endless tears, yet made me laugh. I admire how the drama takes its time, nothing is ever rushed, not even the dialogues, but more than other episodes, this one was elegantly done. But then I am always mesmerized by Boo Jung and Kang Jae when they are together. The anticipation and longing on Kang Jae's face when he saw Boo Jung through the police station window was palpable, but so was hers when she spotted him. She looked like she wasn't sure he would come. I didn't expect Boo Jung to be as direct as she was, nor did Kang Jae from his reactions. I loved every minute of them together.

thank you :)

I've watched Jdramas and have a few I liked, but always open to recommendations. Please share the ones that moved you when you get a chance.

Thank you :)

The darker the mood, the deeper the anguish. It's telling, even in the way the scenes are shot, everything is bleak and somber. The agony each character lives in this drama, it's debilitating to watch. But more than any other episode, this one hurt. I felt physical pain. I've never felt like this about a drama before, and I am not sure I will ever again. They say time heals all wounds, but not for Boo Jung or Kang Jae. On the contrary, time seems to have stood still, if not grown more agonizing. All the narration is getting to me, his, hers; it's killing me.

Thanks

But isn't that the essence of being lost -- depressed; feeling sadness and/or loss of interest in anything and everything, not wanting or being able to get off the couch?

I agree, it makes one understand their actions a little more, rather than simply dislike them for it.

Yes, but I am not sure why; maybe they didn't realize it right away -- I hope they explain it more at some point because I am interested in knowing how and why

I commend the writer for the storytelling. From Just's sister, worried her boyfriend will leave her for his ex-wife, to the actress frightened the fake image she built will crumble to the lonely mother-in-law and even the ex-girlfriend. The more we get to know them, the harder it is to not empathize with them, as unlikable as some are. But of all of them, Woo Nam annoyed me the most for making Soon Gyu feel so unwanted in her own home. I wish they talked used actual words for a change, rather than the deafening silence. Typically Boo Jung breaks my heart to pieces every episode, but it was all Kang Jae and his unbearable loss this time around. Today's episode had me wondering if Jung Woo and Boo Jung were related somehow.

Kim Rae Won, enough said!
