Actress Park Bo-young is showcasing her acting skills as the twin sisters in "Our Unwritten Seoul."
The tvN weekend drama "Our Unwritten Seoul" (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo and Nam Gun, produced by Studio Dragon and Monster Union, and High Ground) has been a hot topic since its first broadcast, with actor Park Bo-young, who plays the twin sisters Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae, driving viewer ratings and attention with her delicate details and explosive emotional acting.
In "Our Unwritten Seoul," Park Bo-young (in the roles of Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae), who plays a total of four faces including Yoo Mi-ji pretending to be Yoo Mi-rae and Yoo Mi-rae pretending to be Yoo Mi-ji, heightened expectations for her dual role performance by sharing detailed acting points, including differences in styling and acting tone, at a previous production presentation.
On the 24th, Park Bo-young's challenge of playing multiple roles was finally unveiled through its first broadcast, and the community has been flooded with praise for Park Bo-young, who perfectly embodied the two characters, Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae. Viewers reacted enthusiastically, saying, "I forgot it was two roles. She seems like a completely different person," and "Even though it's the same actress, the feeling is so different." The situation has surpassed a simple dual role, as the two swap places to showcase a quadruple role.
Thanks to this, the K-content competitiveness analysis agency Good Data Corporation announced that in the TV-OTT drama popularity rankings for the fourth week of May 2025, "Our Unwritten Seoul" reached the 3rd place in just its first week of broadcast, with Park Bo-young ranking first in drama cast popularity. Additionally, Park Jin-young (in the role of Lee Ho-soo) also made it into the rankings, solidifying it as a trending drama. Furthermore, the ratings have also skyrocketed, surpassing its own record for the highest ratings just after the second episode.
Among those, Park Bo-young's tearful acting stood out in the scene where Yoo Mi-ji, holding onto her sister Yoo Mi-rae, who is on the edge, cries out, "How can I let go of your hand?" The mix of sorrow, anger, concern, and surprise as Yoo Mi-ji weeps in her sister's arms, alongside Yoo Mi-rae trying to console her, moved the audience to tears.
Along with this, Park Bo-young's acting depicting the awkward adjustment process of Yoo Mi-rae pretending to be Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-ji pretending to be Yoo Mi-rae after their lives have been fully transformed has garnered admiration. The adorable moments of Yoo Mi-ji revealing her true self in front of her first love, Lee Ho-soo (played by Park Jin-young), and the dry atmosphere unique to Yoo Mi-rae, which cannot be hidden even by her cute bob cut, captured viewers' attention.
In this way, Park Bo-young moves fluidly between the contrasting tensions of the twin sisters, firmly anchoring "Our Unwritten Seoul." As the full-fledged Seoul and Duso-ri adaptation period begins, there is anticipation for Park Bo-young's performance as Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae, to see if the twin sisters' secret promise can be upheld until the end.
The tvN weekend drama "Our Unwritten Seoul," which follows the life-changing adjustment journey of the twin sisters between Seoul and Duso-ri, will broadcast on Saturday, the 31st, at 9:20 p.m.
