Great acting in My Liberation Notes

Just Between Lovers leads cameo in Uncontrallably Fond comes to mind. Yes these are fun things :)

the genre "slice-of-life" is tagged simply as "life" but the genre name is in fact quite established. I think it's my fave genre (I avoid detective and thriller genres mostly so tags are very useful)

I voted for dramas which I watched and finished. Maybe it would have been more fair to vote for the ones I dropped immediately (in 15-20 mins, like Eve and Gaus Electronics).

so many better dramas out there, if you didn't start yet, I wouldn't recommend this. The first episodes were promising, but the last episodes really fell flat. Boring, without clear direction or message. The reality show thread could have been sharp, but it felt like I was actually watching one rather than watching a parody of reality shows. Very blah.

A weird bunch of loosers (in their own belief system) completely lacking purpose in life and social skills. It's oddly funny and very fitting watching for November. I'm starting to get this. Mr. Gu just sitting, drinking, being mute and not doing anything with his free time... it's kinda brilliant. Currently at ep. 5.

knowledge management not finance. not student.

it's very slow indeed but I watched in small slices

Just finished watching When The Weather Is Fine. His character in that drama is really different than in his other dramas. It was a delight to watch him being so different in that drama. Great actor who can play diverse characters and can't be typecast. Wholly deserved the award for AoS.

It's surprisingly and delightfully quite a lot. His acting here is great. He's so different here than in his other dramas. Actually he's really different in all his dramas. Great actor who can't be typecast.

This drama is really different. The main character is the small town, in a sense. There's a quietness and slowness and an overall ambience in this one, it's very controlled in an artistic sense. The drama uses a lot of season metaphors, and as a season it's definitely November with November feelings. Cinematography is beautiful. The drama is slow so I felt it was better to also watch slowly, some 15-20 mins a day. That way I could enjoy the townspeople interactions, and the range of characters. Lee Jae Wook's acting and character were particularly delighful. What also really likeable and fun, was the book club, with the old and young members mixing. And the bookshop as a setting, cosy and warm. In contrast FL's house and family were cold and icy. The two main characters past and traumas were less interesting to me. The drama wasn't really that romantic - I had expected more and the romance was kind of empty (purposefully and in line with the characters but still something of a letdown). It's a perfect drama for book lovers. But I didn't fully understand the main characters, especially ML remained a mystery. This is because we get to learn about the main characters and the two families past very slowly, mostly in the latter half. So this takes a lot of patience and it's not for moments when we need entertainment or quick rewards.

A drama about values in business. I didn't start watching with any expectations but now I'm really interested in this plotline. Also the history part, history of the major enterprises, is interesting.

If you read the comments on Be Melodramatic, you'll find that he stole the whole drama through incredible acting with only about 1 hour of screentime. He's a genius actor.

As good as it is, it's chaebol problems and conflicts, which are not emotionally touching or spiritually enhancing. I think the rating is right although I love the top notch acting and the quality of it all.

she's a great award winning actress. I think she'll grow on you when you see the skill.

A real wtf moment!

I mean, if you're the only one allowed to have an opinion, why do you spend time on a site that has no reason to exist. It's a conversation, and if conversation is not welcome, in your opinion, are you here just to lay down the law?

In your opinion. Not an objective truth.

Yes. As I said. I KNEW this opinion is in not allowed. But think for a while on whether you want to be the one to choose.

btw, personally I block offensive commenters right away. Life's too short.
