[HanCinema's Film Review] "Love in the Big City"
By William Schwartz | Published on
Perhaps best known as an epic boys' love novel, "Love in the Big City" is in an odd spot for a feature film edition just for structural reasons. How to simplify a young gay man's love affairs over several years that they'll fit in just two hours? The approach "Love in the Big City" has to this problem is novel. Instead of focusing on the boyfriends of Heung-soo (played by Steve Sanghyun Noh), the film focuses on his best friend Jae-hee (played by Kim Go-eun), a young woman he met in college.
