With the success of BL (Boy Love) K-Dramas, such as Semantic Error and Where Your Eyes Linger, the South Korean entertainment industry is becoming more open to queer storylines. For instance, mainstream actors Jin Ho Eun (All of Us Are Dead, Revenge of Others, Nevertheless, and Sh**ting Stars) and Nam Yoon Su (Extracurricular, Birthcare Center, Beyond Evil, and The King’s Affection) were reportedly cast as Go Young and Kyu Ho (also romanized Gyuho), respectively, in new BL K-Drama Love in the Big City. Reportedly, the filming wrapped in February, and it’s scheduled to release in October.

An audacious tale of two roommates, one a gay man and another a straight woman. Through the eyes of Mi Ae begins Go Young’s clumsy love story. Stories of laughter, tears, and wounds between a mother in denial of her son’s sexuality and his being unable to escape societal judgment. Go Young finally meets a pure love like no other, Kyu Ho, but has no choice but to let him go. With Kyu Ho gone, Go Young follows a stranger to Thailand and spends a late monsoon vacation. Reminiscing about the good old days that can never be retrieved, he achieves complete personal growth.
