    Raw. Real. Relatable.

    This was a raw and realistic journey that has the characters plucking our emotional heartstrings. The tenderness of relationships, contrasted with the agony in lessons of self awareness breathes life into this series. I haven't read the original material and so I can only comment on the series itself. Our main lead did a beautiful job illustrating the cycle of growth within young love, attachment, ignorance, maturing and the painful art of reflection. The visceral nature of the content allows the viewer to reflect on their own life journey and relate to the characters - ah yes, I remember that stage of life. I loved the stationary thread of the group of friends that allowed us to weave in and out of the story of lovers, love, attachment and relationships - death, loss, regret and still come home to friendship. So many beautiful reflections that ultimately brings an appreciation back to how much we go through as humans exploring love, life and death. Wonderful acting, fantastic writing, beautiful story and well worth the watch.

    Alternative Title: Many Faces of Love

    "I wonder why you sleep in utter silence like you're constantly on tiptoe. As if you're never home, no matter how long you've lived here. "

    You can't imagine how deeply those words resonated with me.

    Raw, honest, and exquisitely crafted in both writing and direction. I've rarely seen a Korean drama capture realism this authentically. It feels like a snapshot of life-its highs and lows, the connections we build, the love we chase, and the way we drift apart.

    The storytelling was masterful, following Go Young as he navigates through the complexities of the world around him, capturing the sense of belonging and alienation we all sometimes face. The narrative is heavy yet beautifully simple, a quiet reflection of what it means to be alive. I found myself laughing, yelling, feeling joy, peace, sadness, and despair. The bond between Go Young and Gyuho left me shattered.

    Nam Yoonsu's performance was magnetic-it's hard not to be captivated by him. The entire cast delivered outstanding performances. I sincerely hope more shows like this are made.

    Honestly the best series that came out this year not even kbl. THE BEST OF THE BEST LITBC

    Love in the Big City is hands down the best series to come out this year, capturing the full spectrum of emotions across its eight episodes. From love and passion to heartbreak and redemption, the show takes you on a journey that feels as real as life itself. The blend of romantic, spicy, and heartbreaking moments keeps the viewer emotionally engaged, ensuring that no episode feels lacking.

    What sets Love in the Big City apart is how it handles love and intimacy. The romantic and spicy scenes are beautifully done, adding depth to the characters' relationships without ever feeling gratuitous. Every kiss, every intimate glance, and every heated moment between the characters feels earned, making the love stories in the series compelling and intense. These moments highlight the chemistry between the characters and make their love stories feel both passionate and genuine. It's rare for a series to handle romantic scenes with such a balance of emotion and sensuality, and Love in the Big City gets it just right.

    Beyond the romance, the series delves into some deeply sad and emotionally charged scenes that hit hard. Moments of heartbreak and loss are portrayed with a rawness that feels authentic, pulling you into the characters' pain and struggles. There were episodes that left me in tears as the characters faced personal challenges and societal judgments that felt all too real. The exploration of these heavier emotions made the lighter moments of love and joy feel all the more precious, creating a powerful contrast that kept me hooked throughout the entire season.

    The emotional depth of the show is further amplified by its soundtrack, which perfectly captures the mood of each scene. Whether it's a tender love scene or a moment of crushing sadness, the music enhances the emotional impact, drawing you even deeper into the story. The score plays a key role in making every scene feel more intimate and real, whether it's the quiet moments between characters or the more dramatic confrontations.

    What truly stands out is how the series balances these intense emotional moments with humor and lightness. There are scenes that make you laugh, moments that fill you with joy, and then, in an instant, you're hit with a wave of sadness as the characters face the realities of their lives. This constant shift in tone keeps the series dynamic and unpredictable, making it impossible to turn away.

    The cast did an incredible job bringing their characters to life. Every performance felt genuine, and the chemistry between the characters was palpable, particularly in the romantic scenes. The actors succeeded in making their relationships feel layered and complicated, which only heightened the emotional stakes. Watching them navigate love, desire, and heartbreak felt like an emotional workout in the best way possible.

    The spicy scenes in the show are handled tastefully and effectively. Rather than simply being there for shock value, they are woven into the fabric of the characters' stories, enhancing the emotional connection between them. They add a layer of intimacy that makes the relationships feel more grounded and real, something that's often missing in many series that try to balance romance with more physical expressions of love.

    In summary, Love in the Big City is a perfect balance of emotional highs and lows. It takes you from the heat of passion to the depths of sadness, leaving you completely invested in the characters' journeys. With its stunning storytelling, beautiful score, and unforgettable moments of love and heartbreak, this series has set a new bar for romantic dramas. It's the kind of show that leaves you thinking about it long after it's over-a true emotional experience from start to finish.

    A worthwatching series.

    Firstly,the plot gives the feeling combination of romance ,realistic , good chemistry and acting. The actor is also one the reasons to watch this serie. It may not overwhelm with only romance, you can also see the nature of gay dating and struggles of be a gay. While watching this serie, the reversible cycle of relations the lead actor had made us to think of ourself. Seeing the friendship between him and his roommate, is heart-touching. I wanna finish my review with the line in the serie I adore most" The things those we thought together-eternal is apart at last".

    If you wanna watch a movie on holiday, the serie should be ontop of the list.

    Masterpiece

    Love In The Big City is the best drama I've seen this year. The first of its kind to come out of a conservative and homophobic country like South Korea. A coming-of-age slice of life lgbtq drama that promises to entice viewers with its unique plot and outstanding cinematography. With an outstanding lead actor Nam Yoon-Su who portrays Ko Young and once again proved just how talented he is as an actor. Outstanding Casting and writing love in the big city is indeed groundbreaking. Absolute cinema that deserves accolades. I enjoyed this drama and it's on my rewatch list. Congratulations to the author for his creative work and success.
