Love in the Big City

I don't recommend the film adaptation of Love in the Big City. While it captures the vibrant backdrop of Seoul, it falls short in delivering the emotional complexity and authenticity of the novel. Key relationships are underdeveloped, and the portrayal of queer life is overly sanitized, missing the rawness that made the book compelling. Despite strong performances, the film lacks the depth and impact of the original story, leaving it feeling incomplete. Fans of the novel and newcomers alike may find it unsatisfying.

Though the performances of the 2 main characters are strong, the film ultimately lacks the emotional impact and depth of the novel.
