Reasons to watch: Don’t be like me and get utterly confused between the streaming series Love in the Big City and the film of the same name that premiered earlier this month in theaters. The movie stars Kim Go-eun and Noh Sang-hyun. The drama stars Nam Yoon-soo, Jin Ho-eun, and Lee Soo-kyung. But, there is reason to be confused, as they’re both adapted from the same novel by Park Sang-young — who incidentally wrote the scripts for our drama version. Word on the street is that the drama series Love in the Big City separates out one of the side storylines from the main storyline in the novel (which became the film). So, the drama story follows three youngsters as they explore the big city, relationships, and their sexuality. While not being directly promoted as a BL drama, you could have fooled me.
TL;DR: The drama counterpart of the film Love in the Big City starring Nam Yoon-su
