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.
