My Liberation Diary

You have the golden opportunity to watch a series without cliché expressions, characters, etc. The story, the characters, and the actors who portray them are genius. The relationships and interactions between the characters are genuinely interesting, soul connections, catching, natural.

The director's artistic and dramatic vision of the script is captured, along with the expert guiding of the actors and crew was brilliant. So many beautiful scenes. Great touching script that most people could relate to.

Son Seok-Koo, Lee Min-Ki, Lee El, Lee Ki-Woo, Kim Ji-won were natural, beautiful/handsome, realistic, relatable.

Brought to you from the same writer who created My Mister, this is a story about 3 introvert siblings and the people around them.

This is not a typical K-Drama love story. The pacing may appear to be slow for some, but not because of filler scenes and dialogs rampant in many K-shows (arguing, kareoke singing, drinking, chasing or yearning scenes) but because the writer and the director wanted to draw you in through non-verbal interactions, facial expressions, silence and pauses.

The more you intently watch, the more the show will reward you. It's a gem.

Most of the Korean dramas I've seen so far have been more of a romantic-comedy sort of vein. There is nothing wrong with that, and I've enjoyed a bunch of them, but this is not one of those. This show actually felt quite real and honest.

A bunch of aspects about this show stood out as great to me: The depictions of family life are incredibly realistic, with love, bickering, boredom, and hope all woven together at once. Romantic relationships are very well done; a bit multi-faceted or imperfect (as in real life), and you definitely find yourself rooting for each of the main characters. Depictions of the inner dialogues of introverted characters were spot-on. Even just the fact that this show mostly features introverted characters completely flies in the face of all of American television. From a basic plot standpoint, the show was never boring or predictable. And (spoiler alert) the depictions of the loss of loved ones were also incredibly relatable and realistic... I definitely had some memories come back.

Honestly, Korean television is such a welcome breath of fresh air from 90% of what else is on Netflix or American media. Kind of awesome that a show made on the other side of the world is so incredibly relatable.

This is exactly the kind of drama that i like to watch.

I like the slow events, the lines the acting.

Everything is really satisfying.

Thank you for this great drama.

So far soooo good.

I very rarely write reviews but this is just so beautifully written and performed i had to comment; the insecurities of each character, the raw emotions portrayed, it leaves me drained after every episode. Each episode I'm left smiling yet tearful. The silence running through this series is so rare nowadays but plays such an important role in the portrayal of the characters; the acting from every actor is superb.

Its not yet finished and i want to watch it again.

Park hae-young is an immensely talented scriptwriter and i cannot wait to see what her next project will be.
