Fans reactions
Actor and Sense8 alum Son Seon Ku takes on the role of Mr. Goo, a character from the outside world. An alcoholic who seems to carry the world on his shoulders, his character is a raging alcoholic. Mi-arrival jung alters everything.
"When did we ever rely on our family?"
This. The Yeom family really represents families in reality, esp Asian households. No talking about each others' worries, no emotional support from each other, and each having to stay strong on one's own. Sad reality. #MyLiberationNotesEp14 pic.twitter.com/7unWM6OJcz

MLN deserves it's high rating success. This drama is not a cliché drama with a love triangle plotline or a traumatic childhood. I love how realistic it is that even the character's silence speaks a lot.

Changhee was my best boy this ep 🥺 learning how to cook and do the things his mom used to do, defending Mijeong, bringing the fam to the beach, and saying "I love you" to his dad. He was sad too, but he decided to step up for them 💖#MyLiberationNotesEp14#MyLiberationNotes pic.twitter.com/8vhn6kRjFm
