On October 20, 2024, the production team of Love in the Big City has released several clips featuring Nam Yoon Su and other cast members of the show. Clips for every episode have been released which provides a preview ahead of its premiere. In episodes 1 and 2, Go Young is portrayed as navigating a clumsy yet sweet romance in his 20s. He reflects on how harsh life in the city can be, saying that while many people gather, finding true love is difficult. During this time, he meets his first love, Kim Nam Gyu, and builds a strong friendship with Mi Ae.
By episodes 3 and 4, Go Young’s second love, Noh Young Soo, enters the scene, and Go Young realizes how naturally their conversations flow.
