The thread is open, @Fern and @birdie007. I’m down two episodes so I’ll let you go ahead. I’m in love with the director of photography of this drama. The visuals of this shot carried the point across. Although time has flowed between the two of them like the running stream, they’re back together again because […]
My Liberation Notes: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Gifs from ahsung’s tumblr source: ahsung’s tumblr Depending on how the ending goes, I think this drama needs to be watched again from the beginning to see how everything fits in together. The writer tried so hard to present an original conception with characters that the audience can relate to, […]
My Liberation Notes: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread

My Liberation Notes: Ep 10 On GiJeong’s Problem
I’ve been focused on Mr. Gu and MiJeong that I’ve forgotten about GiJeong’s dating problem. Although she isn’t dating a club owner (a mob boss? I still haven’t figured out exactly what Mr. Gu’s career is), I think GiJeong’s guy is just as problematic as Mr. Gu because of his complicated family. First, he has […]
My Liberation Notes: Ep 10 The Reunion Date
@Fern wrote this: I liked that during their reunion date, at about 57.25, MJ looked up and scanned the kitchen area. Without missing a beat, Gu gets up, goes into the service area, helps himself to a bowl of pickled something from the fridge and a can of cola. He brings them back to the […]
My Liberation Notes: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is now open. I’ve to make some housekeeping reminders here. This blog is different from a forum. In kdrama open forums like mydramalist, reddit, soompi, and dramabeans, viewpoints are often treated equally. As long as the poster can give a plausible reason, her opinion favoring, say, the color chartreuse, is given the same […]
My Liberation Notes: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open for lively discussion. gifs from honest-mp3’s tumblr source: honest-mp3’s tumblr After six episodes, I find MiJeong’s words more inscrutable than Mr. Gu’s. I don’t know if she’s trying hard to be philosophical, messing around with his brain or just being confused. Let’s enjoy the show!
My Liberation Notes: My First Impressions
This is what’s written on decider.com about this opening of this show. The Gist: Mi-jeong (Kim Ji-won), Ki-jeong (Lee El), and Chang-hee (Lee Min-ki) are siblings all struggling to make a life they love. Mi-jeong is socially awkward and avoids going out, socializing only when her coworkers convince her to and feeling bland and sad […]

The thread is now open for discussions and theories. gifs from honest-mp3’s tumblr source: honest-mp3’s tumblr In my opinion, she’s rather a bit old to have an imaginary friend/imaginary lover but I get it. She’s lonely and she created this imaginary guy to cope with stress. gifs from seawherethesunsets’ tumblr Was I the only one […]
My Liberation Notes: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is now open. I’m watching this show for now because of Mr. Gu. No, I don’t think he’s a serial killer. Since this is kdrama, I think he’s just a stereotypical anti-hero with hyperactive guilty conscience. (Hello, I’m Catholic. I know all about hyperactive guilty conscience.) Why do I like him? Well…definitely not […]
My Liberation Notes: AKA Welmaris’ Lib Notes Eps 1 & 2
I’m posting @Welmaris’ critique here. Thanks, @Welmaris! I’m only adding the gifs. — pm3 My Liberation Notes is written by the same screenwriter as My Mister, which I thought masterfully done. My Mister depicts the lives and tribulations of three brothers and one outsider: an impoverished girl who, as an orphan caring for a disabled […]
