The Korean entertainment industry is progressing by leaps and bounds, and it shows. In recent years, the growth and popularity of Korean BL dramas worldwide has resulted in increased queer visibility and representation in South Korean mainstream media. Now, to take this development a step further, we're getting a K-Drama adaptation of one of the most profound, meaningful, and revolutionary queer romance novels to come out of the country: "Love In The Big City" by Park SangYoung.
For those who might not know, "Love In The Big City" is a multi-award-winning bestselling novel that achieved high critical acclaim as well as love from readers worldwide. It was translated into English in 2021 by renowned translator Anton Hur and was longlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2022. The novel is divided into four novellas - "Jaehee", "A Bite of Rockfish, Taste the Universe", "Love in the Big City" and "Late Rainy Season Vacation" - each telling different but interconnected stories about our protagonist and the people around him.
