[Hot Take] Gu’s ending scenes in My Liberation Notes (spoiler alert!)

Wait, is this a hot take?!

I mean, I do think it’s a bit more complex than that—he has been given the tools to make changes in his life, and he’s finally open to doing so. His final scene was definitely him making a big step in his own journey to liberation, but sobriety is a life-long process. As Mi-jeong says, sometimes the best we can do is build up a few seconds of happiness at a time every day, and Gu has started to build up his, starting with abandoning that one bottle of alcohol. But in keeping with the theme of the show, no matter what Gu decides to do next, he will always have another opportunity to start taking more steps towards his liberation even if he does fall. I loved that the ending was hopeful while also being uncertain. We don’t know where exactly these characters will end up after we leave them, but the paths before them all are full of hope. And I think that’s the best we can ask for in life.
