Il diario della mia libertà (2022)

As slice-of-life as it gets!

From all the kdramas I have watched My Liberation Notes is the first drama that for me was undoubtedly a 10/10 rating. The writing of this drama is so masterful that I am in awe. It’s so well-woven that the storylines connect to one another so smoothly and the drama flows just so gently. I loved every single character and every storyline, which is something that has never happened to me with another drama before. It was wonderful to see the characters developing and eventually finding themselves.

The drama is slow, and nothing much happens, just like life, which is why I feel that this is the ultimate slice-of-life drama. We get to peek into the mundane lives of these three siblings living in Sanpo and traveling to Seoul every day, and the lives of people around them. It can get sad, happy or even cruel just like life. But this drama comforted me and made me feel better without being preachy or over-the-top. It reminds you that it’s okay to live life your own way as long as you are at peace with yourself. It portrays these realistic relationships that can’t fit into frames set up by the society. The characters go on this journey where they figure out what they want and whether or not they want to live by the conventions forced upon them. I loved how realistic the relationships in the drama were because in life nothing is black and white, and being in love doesn’t magically make everything go smoothly in life.

The conversations and dialogues in the drama were so witty and so relatable for me on a personal level. As someone who is depressed and has felt like I don’t fit in with the rest of the world, seeing such emotions put into words, I felt understood, I felt that maybe there are other people out there who feel the same way too.

Overall, My Liberation Notes is a feel-good, comforting slice-of-life drama that helps you slow down and catch your breath. There aren’t many mind blowing twists or complicated plot lines, but it manages to keep you captivated with it’s honesty, mundanity and refreshing wholesomeness.

Look for youe WHOLE SELF, not your half?

If My Liberation Notes deserve something, it's a standing ovation. With Kim Jiwon's 1st project since 2022 starring along Son Seokgu Lee Mingki and Lee El, My Liberation Notes is a perfect drama for you if you're perplexed about so many things in life that approaches you.
The slow scenes, words of wisdom, juxtaposition of tranquil countryside and busy citylife, how the word "MY" in the title is completely about self liberation and finding out everything that is their issue, and most importantly the male and female leads being each other's catalysts into embracing liberation, and taking small trudging steps out of their miseries, this drama speaks a lot on introverted, distraught, and exhausted people like me myself who have a hard time dealing with their life :") you all deserve a warm hug and wise words!!

And if you're feeling to hit rock bottom, normalize to blame the female lead's ex for it :")

I hope you find your liberation, as you decide to stream My Liberation Notes!💜💜💜

This is one of those kdramas that make you feel empty once youre finished because you develop such a strong connection between the characters and feel as if youre the one living their life or atleast being a part of their life. It makes you think about your life in such a philosophical way...like was it ever that deep? Lol, it made me want to be zen about everything, like everything will be alright, why am I stressing so much when everything evetually passes? Why am I so stuck on this? Everything finds its own path and that person you're looking for will come to you one day, whether you're the type to wait or not, they will come- because fated things always happen. Your fate is not overlooked, your time will come and you will enjoy things again.

Its just such a beautiful kdrama with a beautiful message..please if you ever feel low or in need of a slightly dark yet pure kdrama, then this is it really! Every episode will not make you bored.

Heartfelt Reflections

My Liberation Notes" is like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a close friend, delving deep into the intricacies of life and your own existence. It leaves you with a comforting warmth, yet beneath the surface, it stirs something within you – an invitation to reflect on the profound themes it explores. I've absolutely fallen in love with this story, its characters, and its unapologetic portrayal of life's imperfections. It doesn't shy away from the difficult moments that make you feel isolated and lost, but it gently reminds you that you're human, still on the journey of self-discovery.
The script is brilliantly crafted, the cast delivers outstanding performances, and the music enhances the entire experience. "My Liberation Notes" is a captivating blend of elements that come together to create something truly amazing.

Be Happy With Yourself

The acting of this drama was great. The sadness, and misery the actors had on their face was overwhelming. I watch every week to see if they ever had any happiness. I could not understand how they made it day by day with such misery about their life and the stage of their life they were in. They constant complaint about there life. How they stay civil to each as siblings once they got home and be with their parents. I felt bad for their mom who was over work all the time. Between working at home doing house work or out in the field. Even working at the factory with her husband making cabinets and yet she still had to do house work afterward. I kept trying to find whet happiness they could have or satisfaction and yet at the end I still could not see if they ended really happy with life and satisfied or just realize thing could not get better. Very hard psychological drama to me. I ended up being happy and satisfied with my life and how little I have but I can smile every day.

Comforting and meditative

First off, I just want to say the cast is fantastic here. I believe there is no greater acting challenge than communicating with silence — the most moving beats are the ones of silence.

Second, I want to applaud this drama for being a genuine slice of life. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest. It never strayed too far into melodrama, and it didn’t buy into this false hope like many other shows. The hope here in this show is genuine because it’s so ephemeral. It’s not noble, it’s prosaic and honest and desperate all at once.

And while this may just be my own cultural interpretation, I think this show gives a very honest and fair view of what common metropolitan depression feels like. In every character.

Lastly, the soundtrack is wonderful. Great show, and I recommend to those who enjoy seeing the truths of life through the eyes of others.

The meaning of meaningless life

Huge appreciation for the writer to be able to speak for every lonely person out there, providing a little meaning for the meaningless life. It may not be a lot but it's already enough for that little happiness and understanding to happen through its literal storytelling along with its heartfelt characters. Every dialogue and choice of word fits perfectly into our harsh reality, the acting is so deep down it calms every wandering soul like a true companionship. Even though it's densely packed in 16 hours of runtime, it's able to contain almost every modern societal problems out there that you could think of, and also tackling life progression at different kinds of stages. It may be tedious and tragic, but the sad and melancholic instinct within us will always ponder questions on why we exist, why am i here, while working hard to adapt into this familiar yet uncertain world. After completing this drama feels like covering in a warm blanket and having a great listener beside us, that little comfort is exactly everything we need.

Do que precisamos nos libertar?

Já vou começar com um agradecimento a todos os envolvidos. Este é um daqueles Kdramas onde os protagonistas e todo elenco parece que foram escolhidos para viver suas próprias histórias. Diário para a Liberdade vai te fazer pensar e vai além, te leva a reavaliar os conceitos que aprendemos pra viver bem, viver certo. Eu senti muito cada frase, cada cena pois também já vivi no automático e ainda tenho muito, muito a libertar . Tem questionamentos que podem realmente dar um sentido melhor as nossas vidas - e se não nos preocupássemos em mudar o outro se não tivéssemos medo de dizer o que gosto e o que não quero. Que tal começar um diário?
Quando só se tem amor no coração não se consegue sentir mais nada além do amor. É lindo demais!

Healing drama

My Liberation Notes is a very realistic drama that will only be enjoyable if you can relate to at least one character. i personally believe every character is extremely relatable. Mi-Jeong is tired and feels stuck and wants someone to see her, to liberate her. i would relate Gi-Jeong to the song Liquid Smooth by Mitski.She wants to fall in love, but her standards are too high. she says she will "fall in love with anyone" and starts to realize she was the only person holding herself back and sees how to love someone for themselves! Chang-hee was definitely lost for a while, constantly stressing his parents out, but he just needed guidance. Mr. Gu becomes that older brother he always wanted which leads him to remember the won coin & mountain metaphor. Mr. Gu's character isn't a man of many words, but as the series goes on we start to understand why. i liked how they showed even though he was functioning well, he was still an alcoholic with loads of trauma; and they didn't make his problems disappear after he fell in love. I promise the drama isn't super depressing, i've heard a lot of ppl don't like it because it moves slow, but the show is just realistic. Mi-Jeong is miserable and feels alone, she wants to be seen and loved by anyone.

Um drama que teve o mérito de me manter presa até o final. Consegui terminar todos os 16 episódios em 6 dias. Mas por mais que o drama tenha levantando pautas interessantes sobre saúde mental, alcoolismo, relacionamentos sociais e afetivos, o final foi um pouco desapontador. Não que eu esperasse um "e foram felizes para sempre", mas a impressão geral foi que tudo termina do jeito que começa para algumas personagens, especialmente para o Mr. Gu. A personagem que teve uma jornada interessante foi o irmão da protagonista, Yeom Chang Hee. Ele realmente evoluiu muito de alguém que só queria um carro para alguém que encontrou seu propósito no mundo.

No geral um drama mediano.
