Update: A series will be coming out on October 1st in South Korea!! Love in the Big City is a novel about a young gay man who is searching for happiness in the city of Seoul. Young is a Korean student who is cynical yet fun-loving. He moves from home to class and the beds of recent Tinder matches. He and his female best friend and roommate, Jaehee, often go to nearby bars where they drink rounds of soju and ice-cold Marlboro Reds, pushing away their anxieties about their love lives, families, and money. However, with time, Jaehee settles down, leaving Young alone to take care of his ailing mother and to find companionship in his relationships with a series of men, including a handsome yet cold man, and another who might be the great love of his life. Love in the Big City is a brilliantly written novel that takes us into the glittering night of Seoul and the bleary-eyed morning after with humor and emotion. It is a wry portrait of millennial loneliness as well as the abundant joys of queer life.
