My Liberation Notes (2022)

Both deal with 3 siblings navigating through life and love and that the only time they spend together is over food. Although food plays a more central role in Eat, drink, man, woman.

In Quality of Writing and atmosphere.
They both make you think about dialogues .
Both have sombre atmosphere and are about healing .

Both are melodramas with similar pacing and moody atmospheres. Also, both are slice-of-life dramas that focus on character relationships over eventful plots.

Both pieces focus on slow quiet and dull lives where one finds meaning in another. My liberation notes is a show and hence at a slower pace than the movie Vertigo. Very similar in that the main characters don't talk too much, relatively quiet, and find comfort in each other. Both female leads are sad and hate their dull lives.

Son Sukku looks like Jo Seung Woo (I had to. But it is more than appearances). Both are Gu 'sajangs' with that kind of personality.
The dramas slow vibe, music, directing, etc.
The romantic relationship in My Liberation Notes, and a similar one in Life only it was very subtle.
Following lives of multiple characters.
Greatly written.

Remembrance of the past dwells on the past and how it affects their present.
My liberation notes dwells on the present and questions the possibility of a way out.
Both seek closure in their own way.

Thought-provoking slice of life dramas. FLs who navigate break-ups and reflect about how they want to live life. Both provide interesting perspectives to make you re-think your own decisions and orientation towards the world.

Both feel so real. And the focus on scenery and subtle details are very much the same feel! Super calming and relaxing to just hear the natural sound take its spot as the background music in both dramas.

Both dramas concerned with work culture, disconnection and loneliness inherent in modern society, money and relationships. Slice of life/personal growth/relationship dramas that are built around conversations with friends/family/strangers over food and drink that feel uncomfortable, perhaps far too vulnerable. Thinking through the superficiality of modern life.

- Similar offbeat vibe.
- Workplace happenings and how the characters deal with them.
- Contemplative about life; what it is, why it tires you out, how you can choose to live it in order to survive.
- Interesting dialogue but also lots of needed silence.

Similarities:
both have that quiet and soothing vibe.
long and interesting dialogue and perspectives from the characters
has a lot of silence or natural sound in the background

Both JTBC dramas are directed by Kim Seok Yoon. Both dramas involve sibling and parent relationships, romance, the struggles of daily life, and finding happiness and meaning.

Both are slice of life and have a certain melo feel to it and i am pretty sure anyone who liked my liberation notes will like navillera

first of all! the amazingly deep dialogues and theories about life from each character perspective that really sticks with you.
-slow paced with gruadually blooming romance
-deals with problems about family as well as survival in today's world
according to me both the dramas give a very comforting theme where instead of pining over any kind of villanizm and waiting for a typical hero-villain knockout, u just sit back and relax while watching it. your mind is stimulated in a very deep way which makes u internally satisfied
it has heart touching dialogues and carry a similar slice of life theme
