The K-drama *Love in The Big City*, featuring Nam Yoon-su, Jin Ho-eun, and Kwon Hyuk, premiered on TVING on October 21, 2024. Adapted from the well-regarded novel by Park Sang-young, the series chronicles the journey of a young gay man named Go Young as he navigates love, heartache, and the search for identity amid the vibrant backdrop of Seoul.
Alongside Nam Yoon-su, Lee Soo-kyung portrays Mi-ae, Go Young’s loyal best friend and roommate, infusing the character with authenticity and warmth. The series explores pivotal themes such as friendship, emotional resilience, and the fragility of human connection across a decade in Go Young’s life, starting when he is a 21-year-old college student and following his evolution until he turns 31.
The narrative of *Love in The Big City* delves into Go Young’s four significant relationships—each ending in heartbreaking ways that leave the audience deeply moved. His initial romance with Kim Nam-gyu (played by Kwon Hyuk) concludes abruptly when Go Young chooses to break up. A passionate yet tumultuous affair with No Young-su (Na Hyun-woo) pushes him to a dark place, leading him to contemplate suicide.
Next, Go Young embarks on a three-year relationship with Shim Gyu-ho (Jin Ho-eun), which ultimately suffers due to his emotional withdrawal. The final relationship is with William Habibi (Kim Won-joong), marked by a brief but intense connection, only for Go Young to later discover that William is a married man, still grappling with his feelings for Gyu-ho.
