Park Bo-young Takes on Her Most Ambitious Role Yet in tvN’s ‘Our Unwritten Seoul’

Korean actress Park Bo-young is set to captivate audiences once again in her most transformative role yet. In the upcoming tvN weekend drama ‘Our Unwritten Seoul’, premiering on June 24 at 9:20 PM KST, Park will portray four different versions of two twin sisters, diving deep into emotional terrain and existential exploration.

Written by Lee Kang and directed by Park Shin Woo, Our Unwritten Seoul follows the story of identical twins Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae, who decide to swap lives in a bold move that leads them to unexpected truths about love, identity, and personal growth.

“When I first read the script, I felt that the story of Mi Ji and Mi Rae was truly special,” said Park Bo-young. “I thought it might be an experience that won’t come twice in my acting career — a rare opportunity.”

Referring to the dialogue, “I’ll live as you, and you’ll live as me,” a secret vow between the sisters, Park revealed just how touched she was by the emotional depth of the characters. “I wanted to find out what happens next. I was drawn to how the characters confront their own scars and grow through it all.”

Park praised the emotional power of screenwriter Lee Kang’s script, noting its ability to “move people’s hearts,” further heightening anticipation for the premiere.

Speaking on what makes the twin characters distinct yet intertwined, Park highlighted their shared vulnerabilities and unique forms of resilience. “Mi Ji has an openness and sincerity that eventually breaks through people’s emotional barriers, while Mi Rae is steadfast, consistent, and always strives to do her best in any situation.”

To differentiate the two roles on screen, Park focused on subtle personality traits. “Mi Ji tends to be more playful, while Mi Rae is calm and composed. Though they mimic each other to cover up the switch, one is a bit better at the act than the other, which the director and I used to craft more nuanced performances.”

In closing, Park offered a playful mystery for the audience: “Watch closely to see whether I’m portraying Mi Ji or Mi Rae in each scene.” She added, “The twins think they know each other better than anyone but end up facing their pain and healing through this switch. Please look forward to their journey.”

‘Our Unwritten Seoul’, the new drama from tvN, premieres on June 24 and airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
