Naui Haebangilji (2022)
a relatable/real/raw/beautiful slice of life
MLN is not just a kdrama, it is truly an experience. It's about tired/ struggling/depressed/mostly introverted & mostly working class people. I thought it was gonna be sad and depressing ......but it's anything but that!!! Yes it discusses many serious topics like alcoholism, relationships, loneliness, depression, existential dread, death etc etc but it discusses them in a way that portrays the reality that we live in and how to cope/handle and LIBERATE yourself from the obstacles you face in this reality. Each person's liberation story is different! The use of sounds and ASMR and silence and music is brilliant here. The emotional/psychological depth & the little details & cinematography & ACTING in this drama are all incredible. I am in love with writer Park Haeyoung (who also happens to be the writer of My Mister but MLN is much warmer and lighter than that drama)
I genuinely feel like i can open any random episode and rewatch or simply keep it playing in the bg when i need to ground myself and to feel seen/safe/understood. First 5 eps in and i knew that this drama is one of my top favourite ones. I just love it so much :(

it's lovely, comforting and relaxing to watch!
Our beloved summer looks like a cliché at first, but the more you watch, the more you see that it's a deep psychological/emotional analysis of a couple pre/during/post break up, and the interactions between the cast behind and on screen are so wholesome! The scenery is WOW. The filming/cinematography/editing deserves so much appreciation. It's so much more cinematic than the usual K-drama. The color grading and lighting are perfect. Each setting and time represents a season, and, of course, there are the beautiful OSTs like Drawer by 10cm and Christmas Tree by V of BTS. It's simple yet complex and detailed at the same time. I'm loving it so much and am eagerly waiting for each episode!
