    Love is freedom, love takes courage, and love is friendship. I will kill to find a best friend like Jaehee, to be honest. I am genuinely happy that this has the same warmth and few accurate visuals as the original novel. I have to acknowledge that the way Love in the Big City retelling what the book/novel was trying to say with such knowledge and understand the society relevance is incredible. A coming-of-age film that the formula is no stranger but what the storytelling delivered is attractive, the difference this time includes sentimental themes. The everyday problems applied: social judgements, discrimination, hate crime, toxic masculinity, but mostly self-conflict about growing up and find out what we actually want, also a…

    “If obsession isn’t love, then I’ve never loved before.” We need movies like this. There are special and beautiful feelings other than love, such as friendship. I was so used to love stories that started with a strange meeting story and evolved, that I was surprised to see such an enviable friendship. A wild, free-spirited and completely unique young girl and a withdrawn and insecure young man. Strange coincidences and a relationship spanning over 10 years. I don’t know how the movie managed to do this, but I felt like I grew up with them. In other words, I experienced the year jumps and the changes in two of them firsthand. It was enjoyable to watch their relationships with different…

    ‘love in the big city’ is one of my favourite films, i think it’s so beautiful. their friendship feels so genuine & loving, something that i’ve always wanted but refuse to rush, i hope to find a person someday that can have this sort of friendship with me. it sounds silly but i decided to try blueberries for the first time after watching this & it turns out that i like them 🙂

    I watched the series version that is more like heungsoo pov, yang mobie ini juga but it feels like more genuine abt hubungan jaehee dan heungsoo as soulmate? Kayak mrk diciptain for each other gitu, yang bisa saling ngerti satu sama lain. “Bagaimana menjqdi diri sendiri itu kelemahanmu?” That was deep deep. I love this movie, ini jg di rekomendasiin sm sunoo, i kinda think he accept or maybe just agreed with gay orientation or smth like that. Ada beberapa…

    assisti antes a serie do mesmo nome e ela deixa esse filme no chinelo, parece q o maior problema e o unico problema da vida do heung-soo é ser gay, e enquanto os problemas da jae hee são tratados de forma seria os dele são apresentados de forma bem meia boca, alem disso não sou um grande fã de narrativas onde o personagem gay não se aceita direito, entendo que seja uma realidade pra muitas pessoas apenas acho um tema…

    (Eu queria tanto assistir a esse filme.) Achei lindo, galera (8/10). Amei a atuação e o desfecho. A única coisa que me entristeceu foi a agressão do ex dela ter passado batido e ter sido engolida pelo monólogo sobre a amizade deles. É um assunto muito sério e eu fiquei muito preocupada na cena, muito pesado isso.

    the only thing worth praising about this movie is Miss A’s song “bad girl,good girl” the rest relies on tropes of a gay boy and and wild bitch girl. but it caught my attention tho that he was a top not a bottom which is quite unusual.

    “como ser você mesmo pode ser uma fraqueza?” pesquisei e pensei que fosse um filme bobo, mas não, ele conseguiu me render boas lágrimas e boas risadas, esse filme conseguiu abordar tantos temas importantes que fiquei de boca aberta, atuações impecáveis, filme impecável, consegui entender que por vezes não precisamos necessariamente ter uma vida resolvida para merecer amor e aceitação, ele com 33 tava completamente perdido, então porque questionamos tudo o tempo todo, para mim esse filme significa que crescer…

It was not boring and really interesting, also I liked to see another side of living in Seoul being a young adult in Korea. Now since I read the book I have to say for everyone who read the book as well…

    I love how this targets everything . Homosexuality , teen years , toxic relationships , sexism and misogyny and most importantly friendship . This is exactly how i imagine and hope my college years to be . “ if men would go back home as early then maybe women could stay out “ eh bah tell them Also shes so fucking beautiful its crazy

    Friendship as raw as it can be. Story about coming out of age and dealing with the things that life throws at you but TOGETHER. Just felt really close to home as I do have friendships like this one that I care about deeply and that maybe in the future the bond would distance itself naturally. So so good and cute hope to see more like this in the future

    É um bom filme pro contexto da coreia do sul visto que pessoas lgbtqiap+ e mulheres que não sejam submissas ainda são um grande tabu logo, com pouquíssimas produções. Acho fofo que o enfoque do filme seja a amizade e que foi deixado claro desde o início de que isso também é amor e pode ser central em nossas vidas, nos fazer crescer, nos dedicar por ela e etc. No entanto achei corrido do meio pro final e indelicado a…

    The phrase “Soulmates don’t always have to be romantic” made so much sense to me. Life is full of cycles, after all, and it’s such a beautiful thing to have someone to share so many of them with. Not everyone will understand you; you may be judged, labeled, or even humiliated, but there will always be someone, that one person who understands you despite everything. Love isn’t about dating or getting married. It’s about persistence, about understanding each other, about…
