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
