New stills featuring the lead stars Kim Go Eun and Noh Sang Hyun have been unveiled for Love in the Big City.

Love in the Big City’s new stills
Kim Go Eun, known for her diverse roles in dramas such as Little Women, the Yumi's Cells series, The King: Eternal Monarch, and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, will portray Jae Hee in Love in the Big City. Jae Hee is characterized as bold and charming, unafraid to openly express her emotions even within relationships.
Noh Sang Hyun, acclaimed for his roles in dramas like Pachinko and Curtain Call, takes on the role of Heung Soo. He is portrayed as someone disinterested in both studies and relationships. However, when his secret is exposed to Jae Hee, their living together leads him to discover his own path to love.
The recently unveiled stills from Love in the Big City depict poignant moments between Jae Hee (Kim Go Eun) and Heung Soo (Noh Sang Hyun). In one image, the two characters lie side by side on a playground slide, capturing a moment of intimacy. Another photo shows them together, sharing drinks, yet they appear emotionally distant—Jae Hee gazes pensively into the air, while Heung Soo looks down at the drink table, lost in thought.
