Park Bo-young’s Dual Roles Entangle with Park Jin-young and Ryu Kyung-soo in ‘Unknown Seoul’
Set to premiere on Saturday, the 24th at 9:20 PM KST, tvN’s highly anticipated weekend drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and High Ground) dives into the turbulent lives of twin sisters who trade identities to discover love and purpose in life. Park Bo-young impressively plays both Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae, identical twins with contrasting personalities who begin a secret life-swapping pact.
The narrative unfolds as the twins cross paths once again with their high school friend and first love, Lee Ho-soo (played by Park Jin-young), now a top-tier lawyer, and Han Se-jin (played by Ryu Kyung-soo), a rookie strawberry farmer recently settled in the countryside. These two male leads bring unique flavors to the screen, forming deeply emotional and complex relationships with the sisters.
Lee Ho-soo, a sharp-suited Seoul-based lawyer with a seemingly flawless life, reconnects with the sisters after years of separation. Beneath his polished exterior lies a man fighting to maintain normalcy, who soon reminisces about past feelings upon reuniting with Mi-ji and Mi-rae. His comforting presence and subtle emotional support subtly stir the viewers’ hearts.
On the other hand, Han Se-jin lives in Duseong-ri, the countryside hometown of the sisters and Ho-soo. Two years after returning to rural life, he defies local skepticism to become a trusted member of the community. Running a strawberry farm alone, Se-jin hires Yu Mi-ji, sparking a connection that pulls him into the twins’ hidden truth. His empathy and curiosity toward his mysteriously familiar employee hint at intriguing developments ahead.
As both men, rooted in the starkly different worlds of Seoul and Duseong-ri, become pivotal in the twin sisters’ newly entangled lives, ‘Unknown Seoul’ teases viewers with a promise of heart-fluttering romance, emotional healing, and personal transformation.
