oh man i started watching because of all the good comments here but im at ep 6 and questioning wth i am even watching because it seems like nothing is going on at all... i guess i just need to power through a few more boring episodes hopefully

omg so true!! dumb plot devices like mom and daughter looking identical i can begrudgingly accept but FL's plot is definitely a major plot hole. they made it worse with that scene where FL meets real mom in 1995 which shows that mom still physically exists in this timeline. imagine FL decided to "pick" YC for mom, FL then goes back to 2023/seizes to exist (?), and mom comes back to Korea as scheduled that one time to find out she has a whole bf in Korea apparently hahahahhaa

instead of wasting time on all those scenes of FL chasing after people, we definitely needed more Chung Ah and ML scenes. they literally lived together and we barely got anything. even the night ML found out the truth about the abuse and brought mom to the Snail Guesthouse, they didn't even interact! but i did appreciate the cute grandma and Chung Ah scenes. Actually we needed more Chung Ah scenes in general!

this point was so random!

yeah i was so confused about the first and second points about EY and SK. wasn't the person that came out of the shop and EY chased after in the taxi the real SK in 1995? so how come same day EY goes back to the shop and tells Jonathan that if one day someone with the same face comes here pls tell them that you didn't abandon them??? or am i getting the timelines mixed up?

i just dont think it was really even necessary to say that the master was the grandfather after all. leaving the master as just a deity wouldve been the typical deus ax machina but adding the fact that it was the grandfather all along makes it less believable. all of a sudden i just have to believe that the grandfather became/is a deity? for what, that little ending feel good moment? how did eun yu even figure that out?

i wish we had more chung ah and yi chan scenes instead! their acting and their characters had so much depth. then we have the ML/FL whose storyline and thought process is questionable. their acting just doesn't pack that punch like the parents. i still don't really understand their romance started but overall the show does have its moments.

just a little weird thing to nitpick about but like why are all the "London" shots literally just New York???? There was also a shot of NYU

he always was part of management so you'll see him working in his office sometimes. during those three months of recovery, im sure he just worked on admin stuff, they did show him in his office.

i wouldnt say GNT became a stay at home bf... they said chances of full recovery is very high and needs 3 month recovery time. they don't show him back in the cockpit but i'd like to believe that he can fly again one day. the bf duties scene was cute tho

i completely agree with you. i think i might be in a little kdrama slump for a while...

yeah he responded when gu was calling him so i assumed he will be fine... also not sure why people are questioning that? and can we talk about how happy sam sik was when gu finally called him woo bin for once hahahah

I can see why some people may find this depressing but i don't think this is 100% depressing, there are little comedic scenes, there is laughter and there is so much love without ever saying the word love. it truly resembles life, in the sense that it can never be all sunshines and rainbows 24/7. There will be times when things get too hard but those 5 mins of happiness is enough to make things get a little bit better. Every episode there is always at least one thing that gives me hope.

Many people compare this show to My Mister, which has the same writer. I have tried to watch that many times because of the raving reviews but I have also dropped it many times because that is just too depressing. There was literally no light. To me, it felt like being stuck in a long tunnel with no end in sight but My Liberation Notes, there is so much hope that I wouldn't say that it's depressing, instead it is the process of healing.

he didn't refer to himself as oppa but he said that back in the day, he worked at a host bar which is kinda pronounced ho-ba. i think mi jeong was surprised at his confession that he worked as a host, essentially pretty boys paid to chill and drink with women.

Didnt get a chance to start Do You Like Brahms yet but i have heard good things and it is on my list!

Some other good dramas that I consider slow burns without being too overly depressing are A Piece of Your Mind and When the Weather is Fine. Although there are some depressing parts, at least it doesn't make me feel like its depressing throughout the entire show. Or should I say that while watching, I still have hope that everything will turn out okay eventually.

there is def that party propaganda aspect but i try to ignore but what bothers me the most really is Dong Mei's parents. they are constantly acting as if they are so full of principle and always up on a high horse. they truly lack humanness and empathy.

same thing for My Mister, i really really want to like the drama because of so many raving reviews. i like slow burns but this is just so hard to watch for me. its so dull, gloomy, and depressing that it doesn't make me want to watch it anymore....

super open ended ending...... also very confused as to how all of them became captains within one year since it takes literally years to just log enough flight hours to become captain eligible. i would really hope the captain of my flight has more than just like 1 year of experience.....

ughhh same.... but sure lets just put the 2 crappy people together. xiao mo and du wei deserve better anyway

around 32/33. As of right now, Wu Di doesn't get together with Xia Yu and lets hope it stays that way

ep 1 was so cringe idk if i can continue this
