Oh, Lee El is one of my favourites, and she seems to be underutilized. She was the bar owner in My Mister. She was in A Korean Odyssey, Matrimonial Chaos, Mr Plankton, Goblin, and When the Stars Gossip. Her roles are some of my favourites. Not a single vanilla role in the bunch.

My Liberation Notes
(2022 - Netflix, 16 1:07 eps)

A slow-paced, slice-of-life drama about 3 siblings who work in Seoul but live in the countryside & commute. See the comment about slow dramas.

At this pace with sparse dialogue, the acting has to be phenomenal to keep our interest & convey meaning - body position, a glance, a sigh, a gesture mean so much. No action, little romance, & characters that are annoying & unremarkable mean that the drama is the story & it delivers.

You wonder what is the point? Is this all there is? Will I ever know myself? How do I navigate a relationship without giving up myself? The development of the characters as they try to discover themselves & their purposes takes us on a journey as we ponder the same questions.

Detailed sound & cinematography w/ interesting symbolism are great at contrasting the city & country scenes.
