Nam Yoon Su's Heartfelt Journey Through Love's Ups and Downs in 'Love In The Big City'

In the delightful chaos of modern romance, we find ourselves anticipating the upcoming drama “Love in the Big City," a promising concoction of humor and heartfelt moments, starring the charming Jin Ho Eun. He steps into the shoes of Go Young's “true love,” Gyu Ho, in what promises to be a tale that's as clumsy as it is cute. Think of it as love with training wheels—awkward yet utterly endearing.

In the first two episodes, fans will be treated to the kind of bumbling affection that makes you wince and laugh simultaneously. It's the sweet, clumsy sort of love that blooms in the unlikeliest of places. But hold onto your heartstrings, because as episodes three and four roll around, we’ll witness a poignant shift as Go Young navigates the rocky waters of family dynamics with his mother, Eun Sook. Because, let’s face it, nothing says “I love you” quite like a complicated relationship with the woman who brought you into this world.

As for Go Young’s romantic pursuits, the series doesn’t shy away from giving us a taste of naughty nostalgia. Kwon Hyuk will grace our screens as Nam Gyu, Go Young’s first love, while Na Hyun Woo embodies the role of Young Soo, the “second chance” that makes us all question our romantic decisions. Because who hasn't had a first love that left us with a cocktail of regret and fondness?

Adapted from the bestselling novel by Park Sang Young, “Love in the Big City” promises to be a clever blend of comedy and classic romance, sprinkled with a hint of romantic comedy magic—much like a well-made cocktail: smooth and just a little bit intoxicating. The series will chronicle the life of young writer Go Young, played by Nam Yoon Su, as he tumbles through the highs and lows of love and life from his 20s into his 30s. The script, lovingly crafted by Park Sang Young himself, aims to evoke the charm of the original tale. Expect sharp wit balanced with the bittersweet flavor of growing up.

By the time we reach episodes five and six, we’ll witness Go Young stumble upon a sincere love, the kind that feels like coming home after a long day. Told with the finesse of a tightrope walker, the narrative will explore what it truly means to settle down—led not by the promise of perfection, but by the joyous acceptance of one another's quirks.

Not to be overlooked, the cast will introduce a touch of mystery with model Kim Won Joong as the enigmatic Habibi. The depth of the storyline will be further enhanced by Lee Soo Kyung and Oh Hyun Kyung, who bring to life Go Young’s steadfast friend Mi Ae and his mother Eun Sook respectively. Because every story of love needs a solid supporting cast to keep the real drama rolling.

Mark those calendars, folks! “Love in the Big City” is set to grace our screens, with all eight episodes to be unveiled on TVING on October 21. Get ready to laugh, cry, and perhaps even reflect on your own love life. After all, if there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that love—much like life—is fundamentally messy and endlessly fascinating. Just remember: the best stories are always a little bit complicated.
