As someone who is apart of the queer community I was very impressed with this BL, typically the BLs I watch don't go in this much depth or show the emotions of a queer person or portray the struggles they have in the society. The drama was filled with laughter, tension, and sad moments that make you feel deeply. Ko Yeong the main character shows the struggles of a queer person as you follow him on his journey on finding love. No Yeong Su shows how the environment where your raised impacts your societal beliefs, he was a character experiencing internalized homophobia because the people around him kept telling him that it was wrong and because of that he was never able to love Ko Yeong with all he had. BUT not to forget about Mi Ae she was casted beautifully even though she didnt appear as much in the later episodes, she brought laughter and it truly made me happy and I was able to relate to it as I have a very close friend of mine whos a girl and the dynamic between Mi Ae and Ko Yeong is exactly the one between me and my friend.


Truly Love in the big city is one of the few kdrama BL's that I felt truly displayed the struggles, the life, the identity, and the ups and down that a queer person experiences not just limited to a guy. The drama is filled with love, and laughter but also melancholic scenes that make you go for a loop. It truly portrays the life of a queer person accurately, and what happens in the brain of one. One of the best kdramas this year and the best BL ive watched this year, its worth the time. And SEASON 2 PLEASE!!
