My Liberation Notes

But that is how mental health illness works; it's a cycle of pain and hurtfulness not just to the one that has it but to all those who care about them, and today's episode portrayed that in a very realistic and heartbreaking way. I think what Hiwi says to his ex-girlfriend is spot on -- love and care doesn't run or hide when the going gets tough or seems crazy; it stays, fights, and helps the one it loves and cares about reach that very fragile safety line where everybody is barely holding on, regardless of how tough it gets. Mental health recovery is a journey; it's not a straight, steady road. Instead, there are ups and downs, discoveries, and setbacks. And in the case of Hiwi and Ming Kyung, it's the fragility of their trust in each other that crumbles at the resurfacing of ex-partners -- it's not even the ex-partners but the painful memories and helplessness it drudged up.

or an hour and half :)

I wanted to rip the ex-GF's head off for turning everything upside up. The work they both put in to better their fragile mental and emotional health shredded in a few minutes ... proof of how fragile our minds and hearts are -- mind over heart. They had me bawling and screaming mad all at the same time. Uggghhh, now we have to wait until Monday for the last episode. I hope it gets a second season, one of my favorite mini undeservedly low-key dramas. While reading some of the comments, I can't believe how frivolous some people are towards mental health issues.

yep this is where I watched it ... the subs are much better here

It's so good to have Kim Ji Suk back on the screen after the amazing done My Unfamiliar Family; if you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it. It's also wonderful to have Yoo Ja Sung back after her most recent drama, Soul Mechanic, a most touching drama that addressed mental health with the brilliant Shin Ha Kyun. I love that they're both in this light, fun yet poignant drama that tackles the different perspectives of what having a home means based on each individual's past, circumstance, and environmental influences. For some, Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends, while for others, it's just a means to riches and wealth. I loved this first outing, and I look forward to the journey.

Me too

It looks like this drama will air on iQiyi; I guess it means they have the first right to it; I look forward to this. I missed both Kim Ji Suk and Yoo Ja Sung since their last dramas

Very true about the coach not being punished, but as you said, I think there is a reason for that, and I hope to see it unfold in the coming episodes. So much happens in this drama in each episode that it's hard to believe we are only on episode 4 so much more to come

I agree, I understand the subbers are volunteers but Viki isn't free some of the dramas are but not the high demand ones and even those don't get subbed any faster than the free ones.

So true; this reminds me of Law School and Kim Myung Min's narration of the end of the drama as Law Professor Yang in that the law is an imperfect justice. Still, it must be perfect for those who teach as well as those who study it, for there's nothing more violent than an unjust law.

I wish the world were full of Iruma Michios. I've just started watching this drama, and I love how simple yet deep it is in its dialogues and execution. When Iruma Michio told Nagaoka Makoto it was up to him to decide how he accepts the truth about his father and his death, the only thing I could think was how powerful that one sentence was -- brilliant drama, and this is just me watching the first episode I can only imagine how much better this drama will get as I continue to watch it. Highly recommend it.

try dramahood; it actually has 17 episodes

Lol @ 6 vs 9

oh my God, I love me some Ji Sung; the trailer has me fired up ... I cannot wait

He is the love of my life :)

I was hoping last week's events would bring some measure of peace to the team. But the struggle continues for Kim Do Gi; it was painful watching him relive the horrific moments that changed his life but to know that he may have started his journey with the wrong person seems like a massive blow. I love this show; even at its end, it never ceases to surprise and amaze me. And how about that epilogue; hats off!

I love Kim Tae Ri

Congratulations

True, it gives that vibe. Law School's setup might be similar, but the flow of events is completely different -- the competition is definitely there, though. Some of the student characters from HTGAWM resemble Law School, but I think that's where it ends. The murder and subsequent events are a bit different.

I am of the same mind as you; I thought for sure there was something there but the show has yet to address; I am hoping they still will; we have three more episodes to go
