Notes after movie :
- First time watch Korean based movie. Although not many people in the cinema, but the language "Korean" means a lot to the girl students nowadays. A bunch of them watch and they sits in front. I'm lucky to sit alone in the row, just a China couple sit behind me and slightly talked.

- Overally, this is a very touch movie. I should have watched it earlier. It teaches me several lessons and I know sometimes it's really hard to make it if I'm alone agree with it.
- Fatherly and motherly love : The main actor is a father in the movie, he got a girl called Ha-na and they really attached to each other very much. No matter how hard, they really just hope to know that they are in the safe mode, even just listen to the voice. Other one is a cleaner that worked in the Sky Tower that borrowed 3 months salary just to want to pay her son's study fees and her son treated her not too good before the tragedy. After he knew that his mother might be died in the tragedy, he was so afraid that he would lost his mother and the last hugging part was really touching.
- Selfishness sometimes suicidal : The friend of the main actor, because he wanted to cross the Tower Sky Bridge, in the terms of wanna get himself over the rid, at last the bridge broke a hole and he fall down and died.
- Carelessness will also brings death : The great fire-fighter, although you see how brave is he during the fire, at last, because the bomb controller was carelessly dropped by him, so he had to sacrifice himself to died in the bomb because he had to detonate the bomb manually....which means he had to die with the bomb.
- Persisting your life, do not give up easily : As the lift stopped at 5th and 6th floor, the guys got the chance to get out from the lift and wanted to pull out the pregnant and girls. So unlucky the lift was uncontrollable and straightly went down to the basement and it was prickly cold. However, because of the love ones, they really uphold their breath and wait for the safety team to come and save them. The most important thing is, they believe in miracle and prayers.
- Not to stay too high level in a building : If not mistaken, the tower has around 80 levels altogether and as the fire leading in level 60 and above. Unfortunately the fire engines can only brings up to level 19 and the fighters has to climb up 40 over levels by stairs just to put out the fire. The next thing is the preparation of the fire safety is not good enough. Got to be careful of the facilities before buy a luxury place like this.
- Cherish the time with your love ones : Another scene that I shred my tears the most is the last call that the fire fighter captain called back to his wife and said how much he want to say sorry for the relationship and how much he really loves her although he do not spare too much time with her during he still alive. So, we need to cherish each other always as that is the last time being together.
