USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.
On Love in the Big City Oct 24, 2024
Just scrolled through two pages of comments.
I'm horrified by the number of commenters who define the repetitiously abusive, destructive, vicious behavior of this odd-looking nutjob as "real life."

What hell holes do you people live in?

I understand your point and I agree with most of them, but the fact that you specify that it's gay and then say…
This isn't a kpop fangirl page.

Spoiler tag!!! Please!!!!
You are deliberately being a douchebag. You can discuss anything you want here, but use the freaking spoiler button when you reveal plot points people who haven't seen the series don't know about.

honestly? i don't think i've ever related to any character as much as i relate to ko yeong. he's so... real. his…
So you too are an abusive, manic-depressive who repeats the exact same pattern over and over and over and learns nothing?
Replying to NLE Oct 24, 2024
100% agreed with you. I didnt connect in Ep 1, but after Ep 1, it was a masterpiece.
"masterpiece" lol That word's never used here on MDL.

Someone explain to me what the sitch was with Habibi? I didn’t understand that whole arc.
Just one of the many toxic, sludge-covered relationships with hot men this nutjob put them through. Love at first sight-move in together the next day-become a bitter, mean bitch/sneak out while the other is asleep or berate them viciously in public.

That's his M.O.

Way to many to be believable.

" It was a very genuine representation of how dating works with everyone in real life."
This is insane.

I wanted him to jump out the high-rise window of one of those enormous, luxury hotel rooms mysterious, dashing men are always whisking this nutcase off to.

One less abusive psycho to destroy other gay men's lives with their wildly neurotic words and deeds.

Title Love in the Big City Spoiler
I just finished watching this series.I have an alternate title to share:IMPLAUSIBLE, IMPROBABLE, IMPOSSIBLE: A…
I am restraining myself from writing much at this point. I don't trust that what I type won't be wildly over-stated, emotional, and even obnoxious. Most importantly, I don't trust that the feelings and observations I write now will be the ones I feel in two or three days.

This one has to percolate.

The most dominant, overarching implausible, improbable impossibility is...

...that this guy, Ko Yeoung, with the below -listed characteristics:

Plain, even goofy facial features
A Batman's Joker smile (I screamed a few times)
Self-obsession
Self-destructiveness
Pathological impulsiveness
Emotional and psychological abusiveness
Mania
Depression
Lack of self-awareness (what he is obsessed with about himself is the opposite of what he actually is)
Short-term memory loss (he repeats his "nuclear bomb"-level behaviors over and over, having retained nothing of how the just-prior relationships went down)
Obnoxiousness
Vicious cruelty
Sociopathic lack of empathy
Lack of butt cheeks
Nascent alcoholism
ARROGANCE,

nevertheless attracts an endless train of gorgeous men - from bartenders to millionaire businessmen - who, at first sight of his not-handsome face, fall madly in love and prostrate themselves at his feet, are smitten with a lightning bolt of passion, give him gold rings, desperately invite him to move in with them, offer to change their personalities to suit his whims, whisk him away to Bangkok on all expenses paid trips, run up and down staircases, frantically chasing after him at sweat-dripping full speed following one night of hook-up sex, on and on, etc., etc.

I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF IT.

The entire series is a sad fantasy, bringing to life the book and screenplay written by a man who apparently, shares all the above-listed characteristics with his MC.
Nam Yu Soo if a fine actor, but he was horribly miscast for this role.
Gay men do not instantly fall into wildly obsessive love at first sight with dudes who look and act like our lead. Especially when that lead is dead-drunk and smiling the frightening, gummy, rictus grin of Batman's Joker.

Sorry, they-we-do not do that. Nobody does that.

The second worst thing about this series is the plot, which is overflowing with the adjectives of my suggested, alternate title. Acting is generally fine. Direction is generally ham-handed, laden with try-hard, too-obvious attempts at visual and behavioral metaphors.

That's all for now. As I said above, I don't trust myself right now. :D

I just finished watching this series.
I have an alternate title to share:

IMPLAUSIBLE, IMPROBABLE, IMPOSSIBLE: A fever dream fantasy of self-delusion

I will give this show one thing: Of the multitude of Asian films/dramas/series I have ever watched, this one is effecting me the most powerfully.

That's not necessarily a good thing.

To learn the most implausible, improbable impossibility of them all, I invite you to click on the spoiler button below:

this comment is so weird... no parent in the world should hate their kid for simply loving someone. being gay…
Generally, I don't report people, because I like leaving their douche bagginess on full display for everyone to ponder. Plus, I feel like a tattle-tale when I do report.

I think I've done it only one time when someone trashed Lee Sun Kyun in a thread under news of his suicide. Horrible.

No Mom/Dad in the world deserve to find out their son is gay... Like imagine that pain. Restore the world order
hahaha F**k you.
Unless of course, you're some dweeb trolling for yuks on the comment thread of a gay show, in which case f**k you also.
