The series is an adaptation of a novel of the same name. It follows the life of a gay man living with a straight female roommate.

Go Young (Nam Yoon Su), a gay Korean man, lives with Mi Ae (Lee Soo Kyung), a straight woman. Through Mi Ae’s eyes, Go Young embarks on a journey of personal growth. He struggles with his relationship with his mother, who’s in denial about his sexual orientation, and is forced to part ways with his lover Gyu Ho (Jin Ho Eun) due to societal pressure. Recovering from his breakup, Go Young takes a trip to Thailand with a stranger, and manages to learn more about himself in the process. Can Go Young reach the personal enlightenment he desires?

The series was met with pushback and homophobia for its content, which did not stop its release.

After the release of the series, a specific scene during the K-Drama’s fourth episode has gone viral.

Despite massive issues in their relationship, Go Young and his second love Young Soo “reconcile” after a fight, letting anger turn into passion. What begins as rough kisses, quickly accelerates into something more, with Go Young being bent over a table.

The scene does not go further than showing the pair making their way to a bed, but has left many netizens shocked. Many commented on how other K-dramas that include homosexual relationships do not usually reach such an intense level.

All 8 episode of Love In The Big City are available for streaming on Rakuten Viki.
