‘My Liberation Notes’ Review: Is The Life of Slice K-drama Worth Watching?
Brought to you by the writer Park Hae Young and director Kim Seok Yoon duo and JTBC, ‘My Liberation Notes’ is the k-drama that makes you think about what are you doing with your life. And the best part of the k-drama is its monologues. The k-drama starts off very slow but eventually the episodes catch the pace and you get used to it. ‘My Liberation Notes’ also has amazing cinematography. The director has tried to recreate a narrative of idiosyncratic judgments through different stills and visuals. With different characters, we learn different things. The aggressive middle child who has a loud mouth makes a lot of sense when you hear what he is saying. The elder sister who’s wasting away her life finally gets the one thing she’s been dreaming of for so long.

We see the development we might’ve wished for ourselves as well. ‘My Liberation Notes’ also sheds a lot of light on two words and concepts that are ‘liberation’ and ‘worship’. We see the female lead aiming for personal liberation and slowly coming out of her shell. She makes more and more effort with every try. Side by side, we see one of the male leads going for the ‘worship’ aspect by being ‘a good worshiper’ as he helps the female lead to find herself.
