everytime yeom mijeong does her little heartwrenching monologues about how she feels fundamentally disconnected from society and how nothing brings her joy and how existence is a burden. i feel a little too seen i feel a little too peeled like a fruit

the thing about my liberation notes is that if you can’t relate to the characters, you probably won’t like this drama. you will probably think it’s a downer and everyone just sits around moping about their lives when it’s actually a very realistic portrayal of a generational problem of feeling isolated and feeling like you’re not doing anything in your life, you’re not going anywhere when everyone around you seems to move forward. you live day to day and you have your moments but it ultimately just isn’t ENOUGH. you’re not unhappy but you’re not happy either, you’re just existing and bored and growing more and more frustrated because nothing ever fucking happens and everything is mundane and superficial. the drama is about this feeling. and if you don’t feel that existential dread every day, you won’t get it.
