As “My Liberation Notes” finishes, actress Kim Ji Won is back to her chic visuals, but what about the rest of the cast?
“My Liberation Notes” is a rare K-drama that started with a staggering low viewership rating, only to improve exponentially later on. The series is truly a dark horse, and all cast members managed to bring their characters to life. But, what happens to them after the series’ finale?
Son Seok Gu
After his outstanding portrayal of the male lead Mr. Gu in “My Liberation Notes”, Son Seok Gu has gotten more popular with the general audience, and quickly nailed various other works right after the K-drama ended. In the near future, the actor will star in the Netflix series “Murderous Toy”, which follows a man who accidentally killed a serial killer, and realized he had the power to detect “bad seeds” within society.
In addition, the actor will reprise his role in the second season of military drama “D.P”, where he will star alongside Jung Hae In, Goo Kyo Hwan, Ji Jin Hee, Kim Ji Hyun, and other stars. In this series, Son Seok Gu will transform into captain Im Ji Sub, a cunning man who does not hesitate to get his hands dirty for what he wants. This villain role already attracted huge attention in season 1, and will continue to play an important part in this 2nd season.
On top of all that, the actor is also filming for the Disney+ K-drama “Casino”, and his movie “The Roundup” just released on May 18th in Korea. It seems that Son Seok Gu is packed and busy even without “My Liberation Notes”.
Kim Ji Won
After months of being the somber, directionless, and poor female lead Yeom Mi Jeong of “My Liberation Notes”, Kim Ji Won has truly proven herself as a capable actress with good taste in K-dramas. Right after the series, the actress appeared in the pictorial with the magazine “Big Issue”, where her image completely transformed with a chic blunt bang.
The classy vibes that Kim Ji Won radiated in her newest photoshoot is reminiscent of her role as Yoo Rachel in “The Heirs”, which was released 9 years ago. It seems that almost a decade later, the actress hasn’t aged a day. With her improved visuals, talents, and versatility, Kim Ji Won will continue to be a high-anticipated actress in the future.
Lee Min Ki
Lee Min Ki showed a brilliant performance as Yeom Chang Hee in “My Liberation Notes”. His realistic and natural acting makes the character relatable to the audience. According to Lee Min Ki, seeing the growth of his character throughout the drama also taught him about the meaning of life and freedom.
Lee Min Ki has always been careful at picking his scripts so he never rushes into any new project. After finishing “My Liberation Notes”, he will be taking time off to recover physically and mentally before making a comeback.
Lee El
Despite receiving the least attention among the main cast of “My Liberation Notes”, Lee El’s portrayal of the oldest Yeom sibling has drawn much praise. She may be less noticed than Lee Min Ki and Kim Ji Won, but Lee El’s acting has successfully made viewers sympathize with her character and left a good impression.
After filming for “My Liberation Notes” was over, Lee El became a guest on the variety show “Take Care Of Me This Week” hosted by Sung Dong Il and Go Chang Seok. During the show, Lee El revealed that now that she has finished “My Liberation Notes”, she would rest for a while and enjoy her single life.
However, viewers can still watch Lee El in Netflix’s spy action movie “Yaksha: Ruthless Operations” that was released recently, in which she appeared alongside Seol Kyung Gu and Park Hae Soo. Lee El also guested in the variety show “The Sixth Sense 3” hosted by Yoo Jae Suk.
