    Love in friendship is best part

    Friendship is the only factor where you can understand others .one of my fav movie it becomes as the character they played wow its amazing acting is good but the story is so amazing we want this type of people in life who can be with us in every situation even after fight we will be their top priority I am in love with this dramas dialogue "if obsession is not love , then u have never been loved ". Love comes in many forms u don't need romanticized every relationship friendship, parents love , siblings they all love in their own way. So sometime it hurts to leave the person whom you spend time enjoyed thr youth but yeah u sure can live with memories.

    perfection

    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.

    A Perfect Blend

    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!

    Disappointments and cliches

    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.

    A movie about friendship and love

    I know that this movie was adapted from the novel of the same name and since I didn't read the novel, I won't be comparing them. I enjoyed this movie because the development of Jae Hee and Heung-soo's friendship was well written, and the actors playing them have just the right chemistry to make it work. The story is centered around their friendship and before either of them found romantic love, they found each other. Two outcasts who found comfort and refuge in each other, they became each other's biggest support. Their characters also developed along the way as they grew mature and entered the working world, but their friendship stayed the same. And let's not forget that Heung-soo is a gay man, and in a society as conservative as the one in South Korea, I think this movie is good representation for the LGBT community because it shows the struggles that the LGBT community faces, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a gay person who just wants to love and be loved.
