I was in the City of Angels but these days, I live in between the mountains...
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much from it but after I've watched I can't stop talking about it.
The story focused on friendship more than anything else, though I can't say I mind the occasional romance here and there.
There was apparently an issue about the movie having "too materialistic" as there concept... I honestly don't get what's there to talk about, most, if not all, people in the world are teeeny~tiny bit that ways anyways, I don't see how a movie can change that. It's very hard changing what a person already is through a movie you see..
Anyways, I love the friendship, the bickering.
I love how the friends talk to each other is soooooooooo friendly???
I can't seem to come up with a better word for it.
They can say whatever they want to each other and no one minds.
They can get physical with each other and say things to each other but they all know what it really means. L-O-V-E...
~CAST~
Couldn't be more perfect...
I can't say that all of them are the best actors out there but whatever they lack in talent they fill it with chemistry and natural witty hilarity.
~MUSIC~
In most movies/series there are music that you can remember for a lifetime, there are ones wherein you are not sure why it's there in the first place and then there are those that just fitted.
With TT the music didn't really stand out, I can't even remember the music during the ending credits but one thing is for sure it fitted and that's all that matters.
~REWATCH~
Definitely.
Overall, if you are looking for a light yet real look on friendship, it's a must watch...

I love the chemistry between the best friends...
This movie shows you just how complicated relationships are no matter who is involved...
It also shows you that there is really just one kind of love.
It made me realize the reality that a friend is there not for nagging or to point you in the right direction, they are there to hold your hand when everything else goes wrong.

It reminded me so much of Lure of the Wolves with a clash of the Classic and the old school Korean movies I watched and fell in love with.
The chemistry was amazing and everyone played their part really well...
I guess people who has not seen movies of the early 2000's will not appreciate it as much as I absolutely love it.
You could compare it to Sunny, it had the same emotional pull but a little more fun in the story.
~STORY~
...was really simple. It wasn't complicated at all, no twists and turns. It made me question if what I think was going to happen was really going to happen in some parts but I'm not complaining...it's all fun parts for me.
~ACTING~
LJS needs to be a comedian... he was just hilarious but his actions were also very heartwarming.
The rest were really great too. They were so believable.
KYK was such a heart broken bad ass.
I already knew PBY was great but her cold character without being cutesy is really daebak.
LSY had very few lines but her acting as a~meek~sheep~with~all~the~crazy~inside was believable.
Everyone was amazing and their chemistry was just great.
There's a lot of comments about the cursing but I liked it because it gave the feel of the reality of the era in that area.
~MUSIC~
Brought me back all those Sundays my dad would turn up the radio...nostalgia at it's highest.
~~~~RE-WATCH~~~~
D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y!!!
Watch the movie with an open mind and I suggest not to think too much. It's not the kind of movie that requires you to think but just simply enjoy.

It was nice, it made me cringed and almost made me puke due to the over endearing cuteness of these two...
All in all what I like about it is the story, somewhat believable if it was less dramatic but at the same time it was cute which didn't make me hate it.
I really wish they made it a real drama to make it longer because it was an amazing watch.
Another thing I liked is the natural skin ship of the main characters. It reminded me so much of Coffee Prince and the kisses, OMG how I love the kisses...not saying anything more but it was really good.

Story wise, I felt like it needed more time, a little more interaction here and there but all in all it gave me what it can with the limited time it was given
The actors were just amazing. Keiko was definitely leading the show while Ryo was not too far behind with a almost always consistently good performance. The rest of the cast felt like they were custom fitted into their roles that I think there is no way the cast could be better.
The songs were fitting but somehow forgettable.
Definitely something I would watch again. It's the kind of movie where you'll find ways to watch it again.
Overall, entertaining, funny, touching and somehow shocking.

~STORY~
GREAT!!!
I know it's based on ...ing but this one is much much much much much much better!!!
Whatever ...ing was lacking this movie filled that hollow spot 100times more...
~CAST~
I've always been a big fan of Mark Chao but I've only seen one movie from Angela Baby but i just have to say they were just great here...
The cast as whole has one of the greatest chemistry I have seen in a long time!!!
the mother...
the father...
the friends...
the ex...
and theBoy&thegirl;....
was just epic....
~MUSIC~
This is the only movie I have seen that consistently had the perfect song for every scene...
...I won't mind re-watching it 600times if I have to...
loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!loveit!
~OVERALL~
EPIC!!!
Each connection and emotion was felt and I believe what made it so great was that it did not just explore a boy and girl relationship but everyone around them. I have to say that the friends and the ex did an amazing showing of love as well!!!
watch it!!!watch it!!!watch it!!!watch it!!!

there isn't really much of a story and most of the special are flashbacks but i like it because it shows you what happened after which you rarely see in other dramas.
in a wrap up you can say that it's a wrap up to an end.

...is fairly simple.
I loved how evil was just evil and it really showed the way the good adapt.
~CAST~
Amazing... Everyone stood out in their own way.
I really felt how the dad's were demented, some misunderstood, everyone just somehow evil but at the same time none of them chose to be good.
They were just amazing!!!
~MUSIC~
The music showed how two totally different things can say the same thing. Anyways...
Rewatch is definitely a yes.

I was kind of not sure whether I want to watch it or not so I decided to watch when it’s over and gone and I got what I was missing.
The story was really refreshing. It had all the genres, crime, suspense, drama, romance, comedy, action, life and all its many splendor things.
The whole casts have an amazing-charismatic-on-screen presence.
It was as if the characters were written for them.
I just have to say that what amazes me with Lee Jong Suk is his ability to change from one character to another to another. He went from being the strong So Ha to the gentle lost SH back to the way he was before so convincingly you kind of question yourself if you are still actually watching a drama or a reality show. It was the same with his other dramas. I think I fooled myself into believing he is who he was playing to be and I totally forgot that he was playing a role altogether. Not a lot of actors can shed one character and take up another so easily as if simply changing clothes. Usually a part of who they were remains but in his case he sheds all that he was before and simply becomes what he is supposed to be.**absolute fangirl here**
I never really watched any of Lee Bo-Young’s or Lee Da Hee’s dramas before and I barely know the girls but I’m absolutely in love with them now.
I’ve never really liked like Yoon Sang Hyun, I mean I watched Secret Garden and he was cute but I tried watching his other dramas and I didn’t really it as much as I would like to, I take all that back now. I think he just had poor role choices and he is really the emotional amazing man that he is here.
The music was absolutely amazing too. It didn’t feel pushed into the scenes and it felt just right.
If you want something that has an “all-kill” value this is the series for you.

There are certain little things that would make it perfect but that's all forgotten because the chemistry was just amazing!!!
I love how he knows her better than she knows herself, how she learned more about herself through him.
The great thing about the I Need Romance Series is that there is not one character that you would hate, you end up loving them all.
I love them all no matter how dysfunctional they're characters are.
Wang Ji Won is a great find in this show. She's a great actress and it shocks me that I didn't know about her before.
All in all, if INR Series keeps doing what it's doing and gets better at what they are doing. then I'm sure they will be very successful.

i finished the drama in less than 24 hours and cried my eyes out for more than half of the series...
the whole cast was absolutely amazing and the story was really beautiful.
the characters blended beautifully and all the reactions and actions felt real...
if you're ready for crying more than a litre of tears and gut wretching heartache...then you're ready for this...

The actors were so perfectly casted and their individual character were just perfectly crafted into them. The romance wasn't over the top but it was in no way lacking at the same time. There is literally not one guy to hate, even the exes.
The songs were something you'd hum unknowingly to.
Rewatch? A BIG YES!!!

~STORY~
This drama is great because the story was engaging, and the story was engaging because...
...the ~CAST~ was great. Everyone had great chemistry and they were so at ease with each they never felt like they were or had to be someone else.
Those people saying that KSH was overshadowed by JJH are greatly mistaken. Yes there was a time that his acting was kind of off, I know one, but I think that just had something to do with the editing and technical side of things.
F-A-C-T >> no one overshadowed anyone, they just all fit together like a puzzle made in heaven.
~MUSIC~
was okay...it does not have the greatest OST and I just don't get why Hyorin's song wasn't as popular as the other, it sounded better.
~REWATCH VALUE~
Definitely

Yes, the characters had element and, I mean you can't deny, these are veteran actors. Who would think they wouldn't do well???
It's just that...
...it felt kind of shallow.
The story was deep but I think the acting was not AS deep.
In some ways it felt like it lacked something more.
Yes you'll enjoy it, but I guess I didn't get what I was expecting.
Some characters felt like they didn't fit the shoes they were filling in.
It very much felt like watching "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN".
They affected me almost the same way...
...The scenes were amazing, the plot was great, the storyline was good, the actors did their part amazingly...
The good thing about SVP is that I thought that every character was custom fitted for the actors playing their part.
-- which is were In To The Fire kind of lacked in..maybe a character or two gave me that feeling.
Also I think, the plot of the story had holes in it as well...
You're kind of left asking, "how did we get there again?"
The good thing about In To The Fire is that SVP did not give me that crying feeling at the end of the movie...
That feeling where in the tip of your toe twinges and you feel butterflies in your stomach...
That's where the emotions came rushing down..
I hope they did that at the start and continued 'till the end..it would have covered for all the other "things"...
For me the movie is something you should definitely watch..
Imagine all those people who died, that I understood more that I can handle.

the story was kind of unique if you think about it and it was really fun to watch...
i've always been a fan of the actors and they were really good.
i guess it's just that there wasn't much chemistry between KRW and ISJ but you can't deny that they were good at playing their own parts.
the music didn't really stand out but it wasn't bad as well.
i'll probably watch it again if given a chance but it's something i would watch again voluntarily.
i all it was good but didn't really stand out.
