Spoiler Alert
Recently, new 19+ BL (Boy Love) K-Drama Love in the Big City, starring Nam Yoon Su, Na Hyun Woo, and Jin Ho Eun, premiered on October 21 via Rakuten Viki. The K-Drama is adapted from Park Sang Young‘s best-selling novel of the same name, which was Sang’s first work published in English as it was translated by Anton Hur, who also worked on BTS‘s Beyond the Story.
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?

No Young Soo arguably became the worst ex-boyfriend, turning out to be a homophobic and toxic red flag of a man. Still, viewers couldn’t get over his and Go Young’s chemistry.
it's the way this made my blood boil honestly. at the beginning i was defending noh youngsoo because i thought he simply had a rough time with his sexaulity, and the way i felt anger for ever defending this man.#LoveInTheBigCityEp4 pic.twitter.com/BJiYnWTnh0
