Like a ship that loses its course.
Where do I start? If you want me to be straight with you, I will be your savior and tell you right away that you will be disappointed and even feel angry sometimes. You might ask me why. The answer, in my deepest regret, is that this show is a missed opportunity, a wasted potential.The show starts to be really captivating at the very beginning. To be honest, I really love Kim Go Eun and how she is able to interpret her characters in a very human way. That is one of the main reasons why I decided to add this show to my list. But sadly, a couple episodes later, I realize that I couldn't tell exactly why I was watching. The script and the plot were sailing into unknown waters with no destination.
It became really hard to keep watching more and more episodes, and I have to congratulate myself for finishing the task, and I really mean it; it was a task at this point because it had already stopped being entertaining.
My conclusion is that this ship needed a better captain and a better crew, but it is what it is: nothing but a ship that lost its course.

A wonderful journey
"My liberation Notes" is one of those pleasant surprises that you come across in life. This show is based on things in life that you can easily relate to. It is a journey, a long ride with ups and downs, that makes you feel that it was worth every minute of it.A 16-episode, well-written show that puts things into the perspective of introverted people; it makes you wander; it makes you feel their emotional journey.
What I really found fascinating about this show is that it didn't need that much dialogue. Instead, they deliver the context and the important pieces of the story in a raw but well-defined way through the characters' emotions.
I would definitely recommend you sit down, relax, watch, and enjoy this exquisite show while being carried out by their wonderful journey.

Wasted potential
I watched this show with low expectations. I mean, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or something like that; instead, I was expecting something that was entertaining so I could chill out and have a good night. Sadly, I got so frustrated by the wasted potential of this show.You can tell from the first two episodes that the ideas weren't clear; the script was a collage of ideas that were put together, and the writers were figuring it out along the way. They only knew one thing: this show must have had a "happy ending." But if you don't work around in between, it's like you finish the first episode and then jump to the last one. I mean, what's the point of that?

A gentle touch to your heart
I strongly believe that showing true emotions should be the main concern of any love story. Can you tell if someone is in love if they don't say a word? If they just stood there looking at each other, would you tell if that was true love?Luckily, this was the main goal of this show: to bring you into the perspective of someone who is in love with their complete opposite. As cliché as it may sound, opposites do attract each other in most cases.
Of course, there were things that could have been fixed in order to make this truly masterful piece of a love story. For example, the secondary characters are not really relatable, and sometimes you may even feel bored by them. But when the two main characters were put together in the same frame, you immediately forgot about everything else, and you were driven into a wonderful place, and you wish with all your heart that this kind of love happened to you at least once.
The soundtrack of this show is now in my top 10. So I can't really praise it that much without looking like a fan, but I do have to say that it was perfectly matched with some scenes, which resulted in them being engraved in my memory.
