Love in the Big City

Not just a BL drama

I m not trying upset people with my headline but really the drama is the lifestory of Ko Yeong ( Nam YoonSu ) more than just a love story. It is no doubt that love played a big part on his life but the actions he took and the way he internalized his thoughts and actions made the story so interesting yet beautiful and realistic. His relationship with his mother and friends made the drama more relatable, people grow apart and changes even if we never felt like they would. But fr this is just a love story, I m not avid BL drama watcher because I prefer reading manhwa than watching. I was just bored when starting this not really having any expectation but it really will be on my list for my fav dramas I watched for this year. Def gon’ recommend to watch this to everyone!

ONE OF THE BEST KDRAMAS IN 2024. YALL THIS IS CINEMA!

I'm speechless at how amazing this drama is --the story, cinematography, casting, acting, music, art direction wow everything was perfect. I rarely finish kdramas without skipping cos I get bored easily but this drama got my full attention from beginning to end. It's that good! No unnecessary fillers and the acting never felt fake (some BL dramas out there turn out cringe) --I even fell in love with the main character's best friends.

I hope more ppl would recognize and acknowledge this drama and casts especially after the hate it got from koreans. This drama deserves every good thing! I have lots of queer friends (i LOOOOVE them) and it perfectly showed their reality & struggles (i'm crying)

Just start watching this, give it a chance. You'll be surprised

IT WAS PERFECTLY EXECUTED

This is my first ever review so bear with me,
I honestly dont know what to say, i just loved everything about it, especially how realistic it was compared to BLs. Obviously since its queer/lgbt its elements were different compared to our standard bls. Id like to say the acting the cast the story, everything was beautiful 😭 also warning spoilers ahead

The ending for me was perfect, i was scared to complete it after seeing people mentioning not being a happy end or so. But i loved it it was well made and just with the right amount of emotions. His journey to figure himself out, heal himself and find his perfect love. Eventho he found true love supposedly he had obstacles and insecurities to face, questions to answer. I so lowkey wished him just happiness and everything to get better. But realistically it was a fresh breeze of air for me getting something different. The ending wasnt sad rather open and seeing him, smile makes me so happy.

I lowkey still want to know how the other two of his main exs are doing especially Gyu Ho, cuz gurl i loved them so much together... There were ups and downs in their relationship and they hadnt met each other at the ideal time and all but it was perfect and beautiful. When gyu ho ran from home with suitcase i was worried but yh they were still figuring out. The relationship of theirs could have been better, but they were trying and they are humans, they were real rather than an idolized version nowadays. I was hoping to see towards tbe end of them encoutering each other and having maybe a rekindle or proper closure especially since the bartender guy did say he is coming to kr soon. Their relationship was so Pure overall compared to all the exes.

For the second guy was it Hamin??? I hate him but lowkey i understand him and his role, i hayed tgat he was a coward but honestly who wouldnt be, not many are able to open up about their sexuality especially due to how they were raised and the world we live in. Evebtho young had difficulties too but still he had passed and accepted him self more than hamin and was able to be a bit more open abt it. I believe one day Hamin will, be abke to go through it, but yh regardless it was disturbing for me thinking in youngs position especially when hamin was writing an article abt sins of homosexuality and using his time with young as a experience. That was really aghhhh for me, and young eventjo he was broke after reading it he still hoped haMin wouldn't be this bad or whatever. Anyways id like to know how or what he is doing in US now.

As for Mi Ae i was honestly hoping to see more of their friendship to with Young but i guess thats how life is realistically, people come people go, they both were their for each others important time and so but it shows people grow up people move on people forget. Even tho it was limited it was impactfull especially for young.

Nonetheless i am so in love with his three besties aghhhhh they made me want to scream their relationship was profound for me and pure, especially the hospital scream i cried hard like damm looking at them (happy tears), i aim to have frienship lile theirs, eventho they werent everywhere but they were very impactfull and important tbey helped him go through his toughest and best times, i so love themmmm.



Now about Young ahhhhh i have no idea what to say especially Yoon Su as an actor he really pulled it offff i seriously didnt expect to see this much difference or how he portrayed the character so welll. Idk if anyone else could have done a job as good as he did, a proud pat on his back plssss. His character was flawlessly done in my perspective especially how even if the end Eventho it wasnt what he wanted he still started accepting how things were and yh not all his feelings and worries were relieved but he was in a better understanding, ofc not the best he will still make mistakes but he is a step closer to having a proper figuring out of life.

I honestly dont know what else to say, i have alot to share but damn it was beautiful, i cried, i did cry but it wasnt as painful or emotionally draining of a cry as i imagined, it was sad but not too bad.
Finally will i REWATCH it... Yes i will

Pls forgive if any mistakes or offended you

This might be the Korea’s best lgbtq+ film ever to have been made

This isn’t only a drama where we go straight into the scandalous stuff which is great: We get to see what life is truly like, when being a part of the lgbtq community. The way Nam Yoonsu wanted to act in this movie made it even better, he didn’t care abt what the fans of his in Korea would think cuz it’s acting. And I do appreciate him for portraying this character. The drama brought me tears dripping down my face and a lots of good moments too. I recommend you to watch it cause it has a great story line and good actors which brings the act to life, but if you’re uncomfortable with lgbtq I think you should definitely pass on this one.

you're still you

my perception of nam yoon su as an actor has grown exponentially since seeing this drama. his performance as the flawed yet poignant and poetic go young left me laughing, smiling, and in tears multiple times throughout the drama. his chemistry with each of his love interests was amazing and i can safely say that this might be the best cast i have witnessed in a korean bl so far.

honestly, this was a beautifully sad watch (hence the slightly lower rewatch value), but the visuals, music, acting and dialogue are an easy 10/10 for me. this drama is an absolute win for korean bl, in my opinion. hope to see nam yoon su choose projects as interesting as this in the future because he definitely has the talent for it!

SPEEDING UNIVERSE AND CRABBY TABBY

Critic:
This might be korea's best LGBTQ+ show of all time.

As a GAY person the Story was top tier, it was very realistic and well executed, every parts contains key memories to proceed with the other, pacing was good, Cinematography was just MIND BLOWING it definitely surpasses the cinematography of The Eight Sense, Like Your Name Engraved Herein Level.

Actors are visually attractive, they slayed their role, although Nam Yoon-Su was forced feminine on his role or he was a gay-masculine but he did a great job, I can see myself on him..

Overall this was worth of watching don't skip anything and prepare tissues.
