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

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 Jul 21 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 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 Bah B 06/11/2024 This is my all time favorite Kdrama ever. It's simple story really resonates me and the people in my life. It makes us feel we valid and we are seen. The mood and tone of the series may appear sad, but throughout the story, tiny, commonplace things keep giving us hope and strength. I often come back to find comfort in this slow-burn drama when I have a rough day. See more Benji M 05/26/2024 I love this show so much. Watching it makes me feel like I'm seeing a glimpse into my own and people in my life. I also feel that our stories and our silent suffering are being heard. Despite the show's seeming gloom, it has lifted my spirits, given me strength, and brought smiles to my face. I highly recommend this show to everyone! See more Strangers Are Typing 07/05/2023 It's left me breathless and slightly devastated. I love Kdramas, but this is a whole other thing. I don't even want to risk doing it a disservice by applying my own critique. See it. It's breathtaking and devastating. Also: brilliant, inspired, inspirational. I feel it should be shown as a work of art in a sixteen hour viewing. Or viewed every day in five minute bursts. Watch it. Watch it sleepless. Watch it drunk. Watch it and worship it in every way you can. Loving it is not enough. See more Read all reviews
