My Liberation Notes: Worship, Weariness, and Whoa Baby...Mr Gu!

<p>Lia is alllllllllllll by herseeeeeeeeeellllllllfffff. Just kidding, she has Afternoona Asks co-host, Sarah, to discuss the My Liberation Notes, the 2022 drama by Park Hae-Young (Another Miss Oh, My Mister). The Korean Herald said the drama is "a portrait of a generation trapped by the preconditions set by themselves and the society" and Gong Yoo even took to his Instagram to cajole fans into checking it out. So, look, Amy and Megan aren't interested in this type of slow-burn, slice of life story. If you want high stakes action, you're not going to find it here. There is no parkour. There are no super heroes. There are no big laughs. But if you are willing to slow down and trust a storyteller (and an outstanding cast) to weave magic, make meaning of the mundane, and slowly allow characters to take ownership of their life.... you are in for a well-deserved treat.</p><p>Also, Mr. Gu. Sweaty. Sad. Shady. Silent. SO HOTTTTT. The hype is real.</p><p><a href="https://www.afternoonadelight.com/newsletter"><strong>Sign Up for Our Newsletter!</strong></a><br>Want our thoughts on why everyone should watch I'm Not a Robot in a 500-word essay?
