My mister ep 8

i really enjoyed chang hee talking back at his father but at the same time i understand where he was coming from, although he worded it wrong. i believe he was not asking why chang hee isn’t making plans for his next 60-70 years but actually until when he is going to keep working to exhaustion in a career path that clearly doesn’t provide him a ladder to climb, and if it does, why is he still stuck in the same place.

I want to stop learning things. When I learned to swim, I couldn't swim freestyle. But since there where a lot of us, we moved on to the backstroke then the breaststroke. School was the same. I hadn't learnt the multiplication table but we still had to move on to the fractions. After that, I was just sitting there. In a club, the same thing will just happen again. Besides, nothing's fun for me.

OH MY GOD but mi-jeong remembering how she works at a cafe because she can imagine herself with her pretend lover next to her to help her get through mundane work, that she can pretend she's a woman who is loved and has everything she needs, AND GU WALKS INTO THE CAFE AND SILENTLY ORDERS A DRINK AND SITS NEXT TO HER WHILE SHE WORKS!!

SCREAMING when gu stops the car when he sees mi-jung walking to the bus stop, says not a single word to her, expecting her to just understand subliminally that he's offering to driver her to the station, and ki-jung sees and runs to demand a ride too, forcing mi-jung to sit in the middle which makes gu smile 'cause he's right next to her now, and then they drive by chang-hee waiting obliviously at the bus stop too. then chang-hee finally gets to the station and sees his sisters there and is like ???????? and that's how he figures out that his younger sister is dating the mysterious new guy in town that he's been obsessed with for months.

To all the people who don't relate to any character in My Liberation Notes,

okay but ki-jung crying on the bus as she listens to a sad love song and sings along and you think it's just part of the soundtrack, but then the camera cuts to the bus driver nervously glancing into the rear view mirror at her and the music cuts and you hear her weepily singing badly to herself aloud

after tonight ep something hit me that most of "heart-pounding" moment is not romantic, at all. i cannot stress this enough but thank you changhee for pointed out that what makes your heart race is not because you like someone but more because you know your feeling won't reciprocate yet you still want to have them because the possibility still exist. like, it's applicable to anything you desire, not only person. it's expectation that make your heart go crazy. it's the slight possibility between impossibility. i feel my heart pounding waiting for recruitment announcement but i feel calm once i know i got accepted. My heart didn't explode because I'm so happy i got accepted. i feel calm because now i know i secured the job. I feel calm when i know my crush about to marry someone. I know now because he couldn't be mine. Back then when i expect he has the slight interest in me, my heart race to the point i couldn't sleep. It's always about the expectation. It's always about human's greed & desire. Not because you like them so much. That's why most of literature that describe heart-pounding moment in romantic perspective now feels like a lie. Because at that very moment, when your heart about to jump out from your ribcage because the expectation, it feels like your whole worth being questioned. and when you, your own self, can even tell you aren't worth enough to have it, you feels so small and insignificant. it feels pitiful. and it's disgusting how you pity yourself. and it's ended up depressing. nothing about it romantic at all. it feels like dying. No wonder there's a saying that expectation is root of all heartache. It's true.
