My Liberation Notes

Happy for Park Byung Eun, I look forward to seeing him as a leading man.

Good for them; I enjoy it a great deal

I am deep in my senses with this drama. I hope they don't decide to cut it short of its 16 episodes because of ratings like they did with a Piece of Your Mind, another sinfully underrated drama.

Well said. They say good fiction creates empathy. A good drama such as this one takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life, because we can only understand people if we feel them in ourselves. And if you can't feel them, you will never understand them or what they go through.

I took your advice :) and figured I should stop by and comment as well. Thank you for looking for me, much appreciated.

Time and time again, without fail; this drama makes me stop and contemplate life. We are all faced with daily choices and decisions that impact our time and ultimately our life. It is the small decisions we make day in and day out that determine who we really are. The crucial decisions may scream for attention, yet they are merely the result of all the small decisions we have made, or avoid making that may bring us to that point of no return. I love a drama that makes me think, and this one definitely does. I cannot wait to see what more Lost has in store for us in the coming weeks.

I can't even explain what Lost does to me. I feel it with all my senses. It's not simply a show I'm watching, but rather one I'm experiencing along with the actors. I am in awe at the director for vividly translating the most vulnerable moments on-screen so touchingly. Boo Jung and Kang Jae's moments together are so intense they overwhelm me. I love the storytelling, the delivery, and interpretation of this outstanding work of art.

This drama evokes some serious emotions and questions in me. It has me asking myself if I died tomorrow, would I be pleased with the life I've lived, the mark I'd leave on the world, or am I even leaving a mark; would I be gratified with the relationships I've had; food for thoughts indeed. When a drama has one asking real life questions, it's more than doing its job. Brilliant is what it is for sure.

What I like most about Lost, other than the way the story is told, is that it brings prominent issues that afflict everyone the same regardless of status, class, age, gender, religion, ethnicity, or race to the forefront, the feeling of inadequacy. Being ignored, as they say, the worst feeling in the world isn't being lonely; it's being forgotten.

oops, sorry :)

This drama has the best promo posters ever == I am excited for it

It hasn't aired yet

Same with Uncle, it shows three episodes aired, and the show doesn't even have a premiere date set

I loved the opener, it clearly set the tone that an upper-class mindset doesn’t make one classy.

Only after watching the second episode, does the prologue from the first episode that Boo Jong narrates start to make sense, and it's hard to breathe at times watching the events slowly unfold. Her saying since the last time we met, I've been thinking about the right to be human. Not as a family member, friend, or colleague, but as a human being. The right given to the people who abide by society's rules and proudly set forth their names. The right to judge the world, criticize, be enraged, and despair. The right you say you have, and I don't. I've been thinking about that. But what is that world you speak of; and what is it to be human, does that even exist; I wonder. Those words cut me like a knife.

Lost is penetrating and poignant from its opening, especially in how Ryu, Jeon D Yeon and those around them deliver. From the anxiety to the emptiness and loneliness, it all cuts through the interlocking issues of human nature, social relationships, disconnection from those relations, and the state of existing but not living -- drifting aimlessly through life.

Yay Jung Woo... love him to pieces

Of course, I wanted to make sure my review was objective rather than just subjective taking into account the very sensitive nature of the subject matter the drama handles.

I mean, the drama is a deserter pursuit; there is no way it's going to have a good side, no one deserts the military because they're having a good time. Just reading what the drama is about clues you into the side. "A young private's assignment to capture army deserters reveals the painful reality endured by enlistees during their compulsory calls of duty." That's a dead giveaway.

I am really interested in this drama but not sure it will be available right away
