I FCKING LOVE THIS
I'M NOT EVEN A GAY PERSON BUT I FREAKING FELT THE PAIN, THE LOVE, AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DRAMA. THIS DEPICTS THE REALITY OF A RELATIONSHIP ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PART OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY. THIS IS JUST SO SAD YET BEAUTIFUL. 100/100 I RECOMMEND THIS. Unpopular opinion (maybe) but I hate Kylie, I know Kylie is him too but I hate Kylie maybe if Kylie is not there maybe it would've been different, maybe he can have his happy ending. Why is Kylie even made I hope there will be cure for Kylie so Go Young can have his happy ending in the future in his world, where he will not be that cautious and he can freely do what he wants. I thought this drama will be silly and cute AND I WAS WRONG. I'M REALLY HURT UNTIL NOW. I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH:(Esta resenha foi útil para você?
It is a Gem and a Masterpiece
Love in the big city had us delve deep in the main character's emotional journey which is relatable and grappling with the challenges of modern relationships, personal aspirations, and the quest for connection.The series was well balanced with humor and heartbreak, it showed us the ups and downs of love and its complexity in an urban setup with a refreshing honesty. Not forgetting the supporting characters who added diversity and each bringing their unique charm on love and friendship.
If you haven't yet watched Love in the Big City kindly do so and I assure you that it will be worth your while. Therefore I highly recommend it!

Engaging story centred around realistically flawed and endearing characters. No BL tropes here.
This show packed a lot in to 8 episodes but managed not to feel rushed, however I wish this show had been longer so we could have spent more time with the characters through their ups and downs. The passage of time was sometimes confusing for me but this did not ruin my enjoyment of the story. The characters were realistically flawed but endearing, and the acting was fantastic all around. You will not find any of the typical BL tropes in the series so if that is something you require then give this one a miss, likewise if you are not interested in stories about same sex relationships. However, if you enjoy realistic well written stories performed by great actors then this is definitely worth a watch.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Un show hecho con tanto amor
Es muy evidente cuando las personas que trabajan en un show lo hacen con pasión y amor, este es uno de ellos. En cada episodio puedes sentir cuanto cariño y esfuerzo hay, no sólo por la historia y las actuaciones, sino desde las diferentes tomas, las luces, la música, etc.Había estado tiempo sin poder una serie que me enganchara, love in the big city hizo qué no pueda despegar el ojo de la pantalla, una historia tan realista, con el toque dulce y amargo que nos da la vida, con personajes con los que puedes relacionarte en diferentes aspecto y dando perspectivas de situaciones que tal vez no entendemos. Una historia llena de emociones donde ni un personaje es el villano o el héroe, sólo personas normales aprendiendo a vivir a través de sus experiencias. Nuevamente, es un trabajo hecho con tanto amor que realmente puedes verlo através de la pantalla.
No está de más reconocer el trabajo de los actores por tener una presentación tan maravillosa de cada personaje, no puedo imaginarme a ningún personaje siendo interpretado por otras personas y creo que eso ya dice demasiado sobre lo increíble que han sido al hacer suyo cada papel.
Para mi, es el mejor show lgbt que he visto y sin duda, se ha vuelto de mis favoritos, vale totalmente la pena y tengo por seguro que se convertirá en uno de los clásicos dentro de la comunidad.

Finally proper BL Korean drama!
It was the first real-life BL drama I had seen, and it was so good. It's not a typical, idealized love story; instead, it portrays people with flaws and the ups and downs of a relationship. In some scenes, you can recognize small details that can be found in any relationship.The acting was great, especially Yoon Su, who did an excellent job.
I am glad that, finally, a Korean production company has made a proper BL drama, even though some people tried to boycott it. Well, it's a first step.
I loved the story of his loved ones throughout his life. Yeongs life was bot easy at first he had to deal with his mother as she would.not accept his sexuality and after that we can see his ex partners and his straggle but lucky he has a great group of the friends who are there for him.
You can feel the emotion in the last episode as we see flashbacks of his memories with Gyu Ho. He realizes that Gyu Ho was his true love, but he hadn't recognized it. It must have been so hard for him to live with Kylie, especially since he only told one person about it. I was rooting for Yeong and Gyu Ho and was hoping until the last minute that they would meet again. I think he finally realized what he lost and moved out of the student apartment, as he was never ready to do that since it was his happy place with Mi Ae and Gyu Ho.

‘Love in the Big City’—A Raw and Authentic Coming-of-Age Story That Transcends Expectations
Nam Yoon Su absolutely delivered the performance of his life in Love in the Big City. His portrayal was beyond impressive—he brought so much depth and emotion to the role that it felt real. Honestly, he deserves every single award out there for this show. And it wasn’t just him—the entire cast and crew were phenomenal, bringing this story to life in a way that left a lasting impact.This series is labeled as a BL, but to me, it’s more than that. It’s a coming-of-age story that dives deep into the journey from college to adulthood for a young gay man. It doesn’t just focus on romance but explores so many layers of personal growth, relationships, and the struggles of finding yourself in a world that isn’t always accepting. It handles these themes in a way that feels raw and genuine.
One area where the series touched on but could have done more is around HIV awareness. At one point, HIV is mentioned in the story, but I felt there was an opportunity to explore the topic further, especially with the introduction of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) as a prevention method. It wasn’t until I looked it up that I realized PrEP wasn’t available in South Korea until 2018, which made me question the time period or setting of the drama. Although the show’s decision to acknowledge HIV is commendable, it left me wishing for a deeper conversation or more context around this important issue.
Overall, Love in the Big City kept me engaged from start to finish. It’s hands down the best gay drama of the season. Watching the ups and downs of these characters’ lives felt so real—it was like living through their emotions with them. This series isn’t just a good watch; it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll, this is it.

A story about real facts of life
In my personal opinion, Love In The Big City was exactly what I needed to see in a Korean BL. I’ve been waiting for a very long time to see something that isn’t a full-on fantasy, and this checks every box. Not only does the story have a realistic portrayal of many struggles that the LGBTQ encounter on a daily basis in life, but it also tackles emotional and psychological issues that a lot of teens, children, and adults alike go through. Many people don’t know what it’s like to live the life of a person who constantly worries about being judged wherever they go or has trouble connecting with others and creating meaningful friendships and relationships. The show inflicts tears as well as laughs, and although there’s a few things I think could’ve been added to make the story even better, there’s no denying that the producers and writers did an amazing job. The determination and dedication of the entire team to publish this masterpiece into the world with so many people against it is truly astounding. I hope the show speaks to others as much as it did to me.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
MUST WATCH!!!
Acting of the actors are on point and great that I was left shocked and amazed by this series. The story made me feel all the feels when being in love. I have been waiting for this for a long time since they released the 1st trailer. I hope everyone could support these actors as much as I support them. They made my life much more livelier,and the fact that the story was about finding the perfect love. It made me want to try and explore too. But I just hope I find my own Gyu Ho in this life and won't let my fear take over when the time comes that I have to risks something just to have them by my side when they'll do the same to me as well. Gyu ho wanted his future to be with Go Yeong... But Go Yeong let the obstacles get into his head and let go of Gyu Ho. HUHUHU Give us SEASON 2 or 1 Episode Gyu Ho and Ko Yeong will be together again! I Rewatched it a couple of times already since the release date up to nowEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Insane watch.
[No spoilers] Love in the Big City is more than just your typical BL, it tackles real life examples of queer people and their struggles with their own identity, relationships and ultimately their love life. The characters are carefully navigated into the world of Go Young, as he bounces from one person to another, he learns more about himself and how to love, love. This show beautifully encapsulates the subtle nuances of queer love and also breaks down the stereotypes of STDs and the alike.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
INCRÍVEL
Eu simplesmente estou amando a atuação do protagonista. Valeu a espera por esta obra, nao me decepcionou em nadinha e ainda prende assistindo. Estarei recomendando a todos. ps: O casting está incrível, amei o prota de The New Employee junto. espero que este BL encoraje outras super produções no futuro e que nao sejam intimidados novamente por parte da população. Gostaria muito de ver o Nam em novas produções, ele atua super bem e merece um maior reconhecimento. Continu demonstrando muito amor por esta série, merece demais.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
