Love in the Big City

Heartbreaking fr

So, the second I opened the first episode I knew it’s gonna be sad. I have this feeling for Korean bls. But I would say this was a real bl, more like a drama with gay people, can’t really explain. The first boy,the second one and the last one they all made me feel „he’s the right one“ but my opinions changed every time. I cried when die first one died, I was mad at the second one. And I miss the last one, I feel like it was the right person but wrong time. I hate the ending. I really wished for an happy ending couple, he deserved it, he will miss the last guy for probably forever.
I wouldn’t rewatch cause It’s to sad for me.
This drama was very different to other bls, it gave me another vibe, but I knew since the beginning I will cry and k will hate the ending. That’s why im always scared of Korean bls. It’s a must see show, it really touched me

Touching sad love story without an definite ending

First of all: I´m done watching this drama now for the second time. I´ve watched it first, when it was released, and came now back at it after a year had passed. Nonetheless was I emotional touched by this sad love story again. I cried many times while emphasising with the main character. We get to experience the story of him being in varous relationships.
Me being a straight woman, I have no prejudice against gay stories. But honestly I think love is a theme that everyone can emphasise with. The main actor himself said in an interview, that it´s ultimatly a story of a human in the search of love.
I like it very much, because it´s not like the typical KDrama Love romance, but it´s also not a raunchy gay film with to much intimicy only for shock value. While it´s gay themed, it thouches also some theames of the gay comunity. But not to heavily, for not scaring the casuel audience away.

Story: Not many dramas for this kind of journey to love story in a straight context, so it´s kinda refreshing and you can hardly compare it to other korean dramas. It was very well depicted, and I didn´t mind the overlaping timelines in the last episodes. 10/10
Acting/Cast: The main actor is a very good one. He played very well. Some other actors played their roles stiff or overacted sometimes. All in all, a good cast. 8/10
Music: Good acustical music well suited for each scene. No outstandig pop titles or balads. Good choice! 8/10
Rewatch Value: I did rewatch it and would even recomend the title. 10/10

Their is no real ending for this drama, it´s open. I would love to see a season 2. But some stories are best left in the open. Maybe the story is fine as it is. And after the backlash the main actor Nam Yoon-su has been given, I highly doubt a second season. But I love his unapologetic attitute!

Ko Yeong's heartbreaking journey

,,Wth or without it, you are still you "
This sentence is painful memorie stuck in my mind after finishing this series. So let's start from the beginning, Ko Yeong is a gay who's trying to hides this from people on campus and family, but he has his three AMAZING gay friends with whom he likes to party at a gay club. And in this series main lead will go though few relationships, we will see his strugles, happy moment and of course we'll see character personality development and journey with all the adversities.
There is also his female friend Mi Ae and i personalny like her very much she is spontaneous, confindent , funny, but she got's her demons two . When the two characters had their scenes while living together i loved their chemistry and how this friendship grew. But the series is not all sugar coated so both of them also have their ups and downs together.

SO this is the part that I can't stop thinking [spoiler]
When Yeong met Gyu Ho , you could feel the chemistry from the beginning and i was soooo happy he finally found someone who will love him and wont be embarrassed to go out and let him be Simple himself. The where made for each other. They had their problems especially Yeong was feeling guilty bc of Keylie. But overall their relationship was finally getting better, they where supossed to go to China together but Keylie messed that up. I am just angory why wouldn't they try long distance relationship but okey When Yeong drops Gyu Ho at the airport he stupidly didin't say anything and i cried as i saw Gyu Ho's heart was broken intro pieces, he cut all ties with him.y
So again my herbat was broken their hearts were broken but i had Hope he'll be back and at the end both of them will have a happy ending but no.
And i kinda think the producer made an OPEN ENDING for us because last episode is full of their memories from their trip to Bangkok, and when after Yeong's mother funreal he and his friends went to the club the bartender told him that Gyu Ho asked him to give drink to Yeong every time he showed up, Gyu could call that bartender friend anytime and tell him to stop but he didin't he still cared for his ex-lover. And we knows from bartender that Gyu will be back soon in Korea for some buisness at the end of last episode we know Yeong still is in love with him so maybe there is a chance they'll met again and work this out.

I think it might be true. When you have the open ending you can create your own ending.
And honestly the ending for may was unacceptable bc majority of us wanted them to be together at the end (and i was hopping Gyu will show up at the end ), but in my opinion it was good ending afterall, we got the unbreakable friendship and open ending for Yeong and GyuHo's love.
I can't find any other words to explain it, yea ,,Love in the big city'' was heartbreaking, realistic masterpiece and i love it. It kills me but this is not a typical romantic comedy this series show us real life strugles and afterall life is not always as we planned and the series is showing all of the aspects of real life.

If you liked this series i can recommend ,,the director who buys me dinner'' it's also heartbreaking but i think is worth watching

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
