Park Bo-young Unveils a New Persona in Upcoming K-Drama ‘Seoul of Mystery’
Fans of Korean drama are in for a treat as beloved actress Park Bo-young returns to the screen with an ambitious new role in the tvN weekend series Seoul of Mystery. Known for her versatility and emotional range, Park is set to portray not one, but four interconnected personas — twin sisters who swap identities in search of truth, love, and a deeper meaning in life.
Following the reveal of Park’s first character, Yoo Mi-ji, a vibrant, blonde-haired twin full of energy, attention has now shifted to her second role, Yoo Mi-rae. In contrast to her free-spirited sister, Mi-rae presents a stoic front as a perfectionistic corporate strategist at a public company. With a flawless resume and an elite academic background, Mi-rae appears to be a classic overachiever. But beneath her composed exterior hides an emotional scar she’s never revealed to anyone.
Recently released stills from the drama show Mi-rae’s life in Seoul — sitting listlessly at a bus stop after another monotonous day at work, her expression devoid of feeling. Her tightly pulled-back hair, buttoned-up blouse, and emotionless eyes vividly differentiate her from her twin and hint at the untold story behind her rigid demeanor.
Seoul of Mystery chronicles the complex journey of these twin sisters as they switch lives to escape their respective realities. In doing so, they uncover uncomfortable truths and rediscover the power of vulnerability, connection, and self-acceptance. The drama promises a compelling blend of romance, psychological intrigue, and personal development — all anchored by Park Bo-young’s dynamic performance.
Mark your calendars: ‘Seoul of Mystery’ premieres May 24 at 9:20 PM KST on tvN. Prepare to witness a transformative journey through the eyes of a woman playing four faces of the same soul.
