Love in the Big City Episode 1 Reactions
50 mins duration & somehow it felt longer (not cause it was boring) maybe cause it felt like a movie - was debating if i should watch the movie 1st & then the drama, or visa versa. but reading the description the movie felt like Mi Ae was the MC, while in the drama Ko Yeong is... maybe i am wrong, but that's the feel i got & also happened on a scene from the movie, where there is abuse (which could also happen here) but still. that was too brutal for me to stomach, so chose this. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************must say i am shocked & yet not, how people stigmatize someone just cause they not the average jane they know. just cause Mi Ae's feisty, free spirited & wears what she want's (& it isn't even that reveling) but cause her clothes r flashy, she's automatically stigmatized as the campus slut. even assaulted in cubs, cause god forbid a woman drinking & wanting to dance the night away, is a grave sinner. & if she dances with a strange man, she must "want" him. backwards logic, that exist in too many countries, regardless of how western they might seem. where not just the men, but the women think in these primitive ultra, conservative ways. *************************************************************************************************************so am happy she found a kindred-spirit in Ko Yeong, cause she really needed someone on her side, that will just be a friend & not judge her. Ko Yeong on the other hand, might be like her in some aspects, but he has his group of close friends where he can be himself, where he isn't judged & just loved for who he is. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now his love life is another matter - but it isn't a major issue.... it was interesting to see how his romantic life was depicted, i knew from the start it wouldn't work-out with Nam Gyu given the age difference, they were like oil & water, both in different places in their lives, wanting different things, having different interests... just cause they were attracted to each other, doesn't a ever lasting relationship make. so was sad for Nam Gyu who was ready for love & got his heart broke but other then how ruthless Ko Yeong was when breaking-up i didn't really fault him, cause i am pretty sure he started having doubts on the 1st day they started dating (in the car ride). so his getting his heart broken later in the ep was kinda ironic at how similar the dialogue was.

I think I would have been better off not reading the reviews before watching because I was fully convinced that this was going to be depressive and dramatic but it wasn't like that at all.. I have been fooled

It well sets up introduction to our characters and the mood/ atmosphere going forward, the first episode gives us the main characters reasoning and ways of thinking which builds what he is going through!
