Park Bo-Young and Park Jin-Young opened their hearts and stepped outside.
In the 11th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul' (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-Woo and Nam Geon, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and High Ground), which aired yesterday (28th), the depiction of Yumi-Ji (played by Park Bo-Young), Yumi-Rae (played by Park Bo-Young), and Lee Ho-Soo (played by Park Jin-Young) overcoming their respective wounds with warm love and moving forward provoked a sense of emotion.
As a result, the 11th episode recorded an average viewership rating of 7.2% in the metropolitan area, peaking at 8.3%, and an average of 7% nationwide, peaking at 7.8%, making it the top-rated program across all channels during the same time slot, including terrestrial broadcasters. In the target demographic of tvN, among viewers aged 20 to 49, it also recorded an average of 2.8% in the metropolitan area, peaking at 3.2%, and an average of 3.2% nationwide, peaking at 3.8%, securing first place across all channels during the same time slot (based on paid platforms including cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).
Lee Ho-Soo, who noticed a hearing impairment, isolated himself in his room, fearing that his existence might be a burden to others. After receiving a sudden breakup notice from Yumi-Ji, who tried to stop him, she was unable to knock on the door, knowing better than anyone the feelings of Lee Ho-Soo as he retreated into the darkness, eliciting sympathy.
The person who brought Lee Ho-Soo out was none other than his mother, Yeom Bun-Hong (played by Kim Sun-Young). Lee Ho-Soo had thought Yeom Bun-Hong, who lost her husband in an accident and took on an unconnected son, would blame him. In response to Lee Ho-Soo's desperate cry where he revealed all the words he had been holding back, Yeom Bun-Hong firmly held her son's hand, recalling how Lee Ho-Soo was the one who had saved her from despair right after the accident long ago. The tears of the mother and son, which revealed their feelings they could not express for fear of being abandoned, added to the emotion.
At the same time, Yumi-Ji was deeply aware of the heartfelt thoughts of those who had waited for her outside her room and knocked on her door for a long time. Although she finally opened the door and stepped outside, deep inside Yumi-Ji, a part of her childhood self, who had been hiding in a corner, still remained.
In response, Hyun Sang-Wol (played by Won Mi-Kyung) gently stroked Yumi-Ji's hand, who had been blaming herself for not being able to do anything for Lee Ho-Soo, inspiring her with courage. Although she couldn't see them, Yumi-Ji felt that her mother, grandmother, as well as Yumi-Rae and Lee Ho-Soo were all by her side, saying, "If you just open the door, I'll be right here, so you can open it whenever you want," as she overcame her remaining scars and finally headed towards Lee Ho-Soo.
Especially, it was surprising to everyone that Lee Ho-Soo was standing before Yumi-Ji, who opened the door with overwhelming feelings. Without a word, Lee Ho-Soo embraced Yumi-Ji tightly, saying, "Stay by my side, Yumi-Ji. Stay with me," revealing his true feelings. By honestly expressing both his love and fear towards her, Lee Ho-Soo moved Yumi-Ji to respond with an embrace, touching the hearts of the viewers.
Meanwhile, after parting ways with the company that only left pain, Yumi-Rae stood at a new starting line. She even rejected the proposal for advancement to the U.S. from Han Se-Jin (played by Ryu Kyung-Soo) and decided to take over the strawberry field. Her mother, Kim Ok-Hee (played by Jang Young-Nam), supported Yumi-Rae's choice, and the twin sisters ran toward the future. Kim Ok-Hee also provided warmth while realizing her mother Kang Wal-Soon's (played by Cha Mi-Kyung) past and resolving misunderstandings.
In this way, 'Our Unwritten Seoul' portrays the love of people supporting and comforting each other's lives, as described in Lee Ho-Soo's father's (played by Kim Joo-Heon) words, "Love is not about winning or losing, but about being on the same side until the end, even if you lose," leaving a deep aftertaste. It raises curiosity about what unknown future awaits those who have stepped back onto the track of life after opening the door.
The final episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul', featuring Park Bo-Young, Park Jin-Young, and Ryu Kyung-Soo, will air tonight (29th) at 9:20 p.m.
