3/4
"My Liberation Notes" is very beautifully executed in presenting a slice of life that doesn't offer a fairy-tale ending ... or offer finite solutions to ease the characters' lives. But what this K-drama does do is allow for growth. Go to Full Review

Regardless of which side of the human spectrum you find yourself on and which character’s journey you relate to the most, My Liberation Notes has been a rich and rewarding journey like few others. Go to Full Review

My Liberation Notes gets off to a slow start, unable to charm with its bland characters and overlong pilot. Go to Full Review

Hearth A @RT71471170 Apr 12 i must say that this series need a second season, until i have my own family, I'll wait, and wait and wait and wait. this series is about life — a life where everyday is the same cycle — you woke up, eat, go to work, go home and sleep and still the same the next day. it shows that every character here want changes and wanted to be liberated from it. this series want us to know that the definition of life was not sugar-coated, it really shows how life works. it wants us to know that not everything we wanted in life goes how it does. it teaches us that not all questions need an answer. sometimes we don't need revenge for others to know that they're wrong. and sometimes we need patience and to control our emotions. some part of the story in our life, all we need was happiness, freedom and people to talk to. i really recommend you to watch this series if wanted to be liberated from your past self, that keeps you stay on the same boat. p.s APOLOGIES FOR THE GRAMMAR. See more chad E. @chadfromsc Dec 26 As an introvert i felt this series along with the characters. Definitely not for everyone, very slow paced and mostly talking and eating with an ambiguous ending. But if you like to feel something while watching tv this might work for you. See more Amarachi M @RT83104090 07/21/2025 Life's journey is filled with shared experiences of struggle and resilience. We've all faced challenges, some more than others, but we gradually move forward, striving for happiness or a sense of it. See more Izelkoro T @RT81073153 01/13/2025 This is a perfect comfort drama.. All time favourite💙..with each episode u somehow start to get attached to every characters.I love how it tells and highlights everyone's story and their struggles...It tells a lot See more 06/01/2022 I'm not a k drama fan particularly, but a friend recommended this and I was immediately hooked into the slow lives of the 2 sisters and their brother. The writing is wonderfully subtle and understated, entire scenes often have minimal dialogue where the emotion is conveyed through a slight glance or subtle body language. If you're in your 30s or older and have ever wondered "is this all my life will be now?" this is the show for you. Quiet, slow, beautifully written and acted, touching and funny. Watch it. See more 05/22/2022 MLN is written by the esteemed screenwriter Park Hae Young and directed by Kim Seok Yoon. The cinematography is off the charts phenomenal and it is so well written and directed that this absolutely stellar cast has a chance to do seriously creative work. Without discussing too much plot detail, MLN is an examination of existential issues that effect all of us while we a dealing with our unique circumstances that define or lives - money, culture, family. It does start slowly, and that may be off putting to some viewers, but how the makers of this series have managed to combine pathos, humour, tragedy, hope, insight in such a beautifully filmed masterpiece is truly beyond me. The plot is never hackneyed or mundane, and totally unpredictable. The script is so interesting, at time ambiguous which makes the viewer reflect and seriously ponder the ideas. If you can be patient enough, I totally recommend it. See more Read all reviews
