The official screening was filled with continuous laughter and admiration from the audience. Unprecedentedly, there were rounds of applause during the screening, and a standing ovation followed. This demonstrated the audience's intense reaction and high satisfaction.

A total of two screenings were held, both of which were sold out. Kim Go-eun, Noh Sang-hyun, and Director Lee Eon-hee communicated through a Q&A session after the official screening, receiving numerous questions from the local audience.

Director Lee Eon-hee pointed out the differences between the original novel and the movie. "We adapted the story to show Ja-hee and Heung-su looking at each other and living their lives in a balanced way," she explained.

Kim Go-eun shared the reason she took the role. "Ja-hee has a vulnerable and wounded side. Watching her actions to hide that made me empathize with her a lot. I wanted to express that well," she revealed.

Noh Sang-hyun said, "I was intrigued by how Heung-su, who has deficiencies, overcomes them after meeting Ja-hee. The script was honest and straightforward, which attracted me," he pointed out.

"Laws of Love in the Big City" is about Ja-hee, a free spirit, and Heung-su, who keeps a distance from the world. It portrays their unique way of loving while living together.

The film is set to release in theaters on the 1st of next month.
