"Rules of Love in the Big City" is a South Korean film directed by Lee Eon Hee and based on the book by Park Sang Young, premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. The story follows Jae Hee (Kim Go-eun), a bold and sharp-tongued woman, and Heung Soo (Steve Sanghyun Noh), a young gay man who constantly hides his identity. After accidentally uncovering his secret, Jae Hee chooses to help him rather than expose him, sparking an unlikely friendship. Together, they face the challenges of living and loving in a society marked by prejudice, in a tender story about affection, acceptance, and freedom.
