The TV series "How to Love in a Big City" is capturing the attention of overseas viewers. On the 7th, according to the global OTT Rakuten Viki, the TV series "How to Love in a Big City" starring Nam Yoon Su
(English title: Love in the Big City) charted in the top 5 in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania based on viewership during its first week of broadcast.
The rating on Viki was also 9.6 points, with comments such as "A tribute to the pure love of friends, lovers, and family," and "A realistic production that makes you feel like you're watching the reality of a person, not fiction."
It is no exaggeration to say that the series has surpassed the boundaries of a typical K-TV series.
Writer Sangyeon said through Rakuten Viki, "Fans from all over the world send me direct messages on social media. I never expected to receive so much love overseas and I'm really happy."
"It's really moving," he said, expressing his surprise and gratitude. Regarding the selling point of the TV series, he continued, "There are many works that portray the love of sexual minorities as fantasy, but I've never seen such a realistic portrayal of it.
"There are few films that portray the character so realistically," he explained. Regarding the difference between the film and other films released around the same time, he said, "The film focuses on a female character named 'JaeHee' and is sexy.
It is a coming-of-age story that deals with the friendship between a queer man and a heterosexual woman. Unlike the TV series, the emphasis on romance for sexual minority characters is relatively low.
"The big difference between our TV series and the others is that it is a full-fledged 'queer story' and a 'romance story' that deals with sexual minorities in a 100% pure way."
"Love in the Big City" is a romance TV series that follows the young writer Go Young (Nam Yoon Su) as she learns about love and life through various connections.
Based on the novel, and written by writer Park Sang-yeon, this work is a series of eight episodes, each directed by Heo Jin-ho, Hong Ji-yeong, Son Tae-gyeom, and director Kim Sae-in.
