Overall Thoughts on My Liberation Notes Korean Drama:
My Liberation Notes is a slice-of-life Korean drama where it shows the struggle and challenges of three siblings. Not only in life, they are struggling but in love life as well as in work also. We all can relate to their characters in some way whether it is about work or love life. Some science is funny as well as irritating at the same time where Mi Jung and her two colleagues were forced to join any club at the workplace like they are in the school. Just let them breathe!!! This drama also tells us that it’s ok if you change, take a few steps daily. In one day you can not change someone, to change one’s actions in better way first it is important to understand them and then take a few steps daily.
