So advertising a movie is an art because you have short snippets to interest the audience and if there is a twist also keeping it under wraps. The upcoming modern romance movie Love in the Big City is being criticized by K-netizens after the new posters and previews are out for majorly misleading viewers with its promos. From the promos it appears to be two roommates Kim So Eun and Noh Sang Hyun and their heterosexual romance with each other. In reality the movie is based on a novel and will stick with the original story where the male lead is gay and the story is their roomie friendship and dealing with romance with other people. It is about love in the big city, just NOT with each other lol. K-movies are always way more progressive and gay themes have been normalized on the big screen for over two decades so it makes this misleading promos even more perplexing other than assuming the production wants to rope in viewers wanting a heterosexual romance between the two leads.
