The chemistry, the way of the two main actors develop and present their characters, the set, the plot twist, and of course the message they want to spread are so deep and cool! I cried and laughed while watching this, and I was drowning and carried away by the story and acting.

• This is NOT a romance that you can usually find in the romance movie, BUT you can definitely enjoy the learning process from the story
• This movie shows us the point of view from discredited people, so there will be some heartbreaking scene that i personally think for those common people that usually tend to be ignorant should be more aware and embrace more
• love is about peace, you can learn here.

The 2024 adaptation on love in the big city disappoints by falling back into overused Korean Drama clichés. The adaptation loses lot of emotional complexity anf depth that make the original novel impactful. While the two main actors have a solid performance, the film relies too heavily on predictable scenes and tropes. These elements undermine the story of the film and make it falling into a Korean drama clichés. The film misses the chances to explore more potential about showing the depth of the novel and the lgbt+ themes in more nuanced ways instead it opted for a tiring long film that falls into slow rythm.

Love in the Big City is a delightful romantic comedy that absolutely shines in every way. From the opening scene to the final moments, it had me hooked with its captivating storyline, witty humor, and lovable characters. Love in the Big City does an amazing job of balancing heartwarming romance with moments of laugh-out-loud comedy, creating a feel-good experience from start to finish.

Love in the Big City is a fantastic rom-com that hits all the right notes! The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, It's a must-watch that will leave you with a big smile and a warm heart. Absolutely 5 stars!

Truly enjoyed it, it left a raw message. Still, it had a light-hearted feeling to it. It enjoyed the focus on the friendship and their growth over the sub plot of romantic attachment, just as it was about their friendship and them trying to find themselves was truly impactful. More so the acting was fabulous.

Watching the movie after the series is a bit strange. They changed a lot and compressed a lot and took out a lot. I know the story is based on some famous novel(s) so now I'm wondering what's in those novels because these two characters in the movie are giving me different vibes from the series, so my advice would be to separate them completely. It's just the bare bones of the series. There's a lot more of and about her here, whereas in the series she gets married pretty quickly and mostly disappears and there's less of him here. Be basically has two relationships, one of which is completely different from the series, although it's the guy he's kissing while meeting her. I am a little baffled by these changes and I don't understand the reasoning. But yeah, its heart is in the right place and these two here shine through the screen and their friendship is epic, which it wasn't in the series, so it is a nice watch on its own. It feels like it shows a lot more of the homophobia in Korea, but maybe it feels that way because it's compressed. He is a lot more unhappy and guarded than in the series, where he had a more bubbly personality, albeit still closeted. Nam Yoon-su ruined me.

So yeah, I keep picking at the differences, although I said I shouldn't because it doesn't help. It's a good movie. I enjoyed it. But damn Korean men are scary. And they gossip a lot and they bully and sl*t-shame. In and out of the office, at school, etc. Geez...
