My Liberation Notes has many intertwining dynamics, as any good Korean drama does, but one thing that particularly drew my attention was how slow the story went and how natural it felt. In a generation where consuming stories has taken another level, where even directors like Martin Scorsese had to urge viewers not to watch his then-upcoming Netflix movie 'The Irishman' on the phone because that is how viewers nowadays watch anything, we naturally yearn for stories that do not specifically follow a stiff structure where viewers almost predict the storyline. There is a slow connection between Mr. Gu (left) and Yeom-mi jeong (right) that we can feel during the drama, but the future of this connection is so unpredictable that it makes you wonder how the soft tension between the two will unfold. This drama is also suitable for romantic individuals who are bored by the over-sexualization of love stories and would like to tranquilly enjoy a soft romantic drama.
