    Many fans are eagerly awaiting the drama’s premiere and have encouraged Nam Yoon Su not to let the negative comments affect her.

    I’m so excited for this bl
    I can’t wait to see Nam Yoon Soo’s first BL series with #LoveInTheBigCity. The official trailer was revealed ahead of the scheduled release in October, and this series was also filmed in Thailand.
    Yoon Su has been my favorite since Extracurricular !!!! I watched all his work with devotion!! I love that he is so brave to take a role in a homophobic country!! I am so proud of him!!

    The wait for the release of Love in the Big City grows, as this drama promises to explore deep themes like love and societal expectations, with a new perspective on relationships and individuality in an urban setting.

    If you had told me years ago that Nam Yoon Su would be seen kissing men, I would have never believed you.

    Kissing multiple men in one drama, who else does it like him!!

    Other popular mainstream actors don’t do this, either for fear of ruining their careers and popularity, or because their agency discourages them from doing so.
    Yoon Su, you are truly a unique actor and man.

    The drama may well spark discussions about how LGBTQ issues are presented and perceived in South Korean society, drawing attention from both supporters and skeptics upon its release.

    Do you think Korean society is ready to accept LGBTQ characters in its dramas?
