I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!

Our Unwritten Seoul really highlights how much Park Jinyoung has grown as a lead actor. His performance feels calm but deeply layered, especially in emotional scenes where he expresses more through silence than dialogue. There’s a natural sincerity in the way he carries the character, making every moment feel genuine rather than acted. He anchors the drama with a quiet strength that’s hard to ignore.

Wish the unwritten story kept continuing.

Being a Park Bo Young fan, I watched it for her and it did not dissapoint.

The show handled all the sub stories with maturity.

Park Bo Young as usual was stunning in her performance, and I loved the awkward and cute romance a lot. Would have surely loved a bit more affection from Mi-Rae too, but that was cute too.

I think if this was a sixteen episode show, they could have dived in and explored the mother daughter dynamic more. Be it the realationship between the Mi-Ji's mother and grandmother or Mi-ji and Mi-Rae's realtionship with their mother. Their emotional turmoil in a longer show could have been a more robust feature to explore, but in this show it was done well. Rather than a single outburt of raw emotion, Mi Ji deserved a more substantiated resolution for her relationship with her mother. Her mother's shame, and disinterest that Mi Ji felt all those years need to be resolved with multiple different attempts. Her mother's character was sort of justified, but I felt that she needed to have that-longer-talk with her mother, because she carried for probably fifty years the pain of being born a woman/daughter. Which extended onto her daughters, even though she might not have wanted that.

I might have missed it, but how did se-jin realize it was Mi-Rae who worked with him? Depite my confusion, it was a nice touch that he got her name right only when called her by her actual name. Meaning alike Ho Su he too can differentiate between the twins.

When a show satisfies me, I tend to not have much to say. I was interested in the story enough that I may have missed out on its flaws but that is for another watch. I do wish it was a longer show, but I wish everyshow I watch is a longer show.

Ciao ╰(▔∀▔)╯.

A remarkable story about two very different twin sisters, their life choices—city or country, overwork and stress or a measured but poor life, fighting back or accepting insults and terrible behavior.
Through a series of circumstances, each sister experiences firsthand what it means to be the other sister, the other person, and learns to solve problems and view life in a new way.
The ML here is wonderful—handsome, kind, understanding, and always ready to lend a shoulder to cry on. The supporting characters are also all great — each has a personality, motivation, unique image, and a place in the main characters' story. The cast is 10000/10

Mental Health Alert


It's a story about a pair of identical twins who traded places, when one of them got suicidal. When you think things finally settled, there would be a new major revelation thrown in.

I didn't expect this to be such a tear jerker. So have a box of tissue ready.

I enjoyed When Life Give You Tangerine, but I enjoy this more. Maybe because WLGYT focuses only one IU's character, while in here there are three (the twins and Ho-Su).

Yeah sure not everything makes sense (like how can Mi Ji who's portrayed as not too bright, can work in strategic planning), but I supposed it's possible when you work really hard. Mi Rae was bullied at work so she doesn't have much to do at work, so Mi Ji was supposed to just sit there and do nothing, until Mi Rae gets back on track with her mental health.

Park Bo Young and Jin Young are amazing. Bravo, you two!

Life isn’t always easy, but It’s worth living

This is one of those rare dramas that doesn’t just entertain—it heals. It sneaks into your heart little by little until suddenly, you're crying, laughing, and hugging a pillow at 3 a.m., wondering how a show understood your soul so well. From beginning to end, it felt like a quiet, emotional journey that reminds us that life doesn’t always turn out how we imagine… but even when it gets messy, even when everything falls apart, there’s still hope. We just have to keep moving forward, and little by little, we’ll find our Seoul. ♥

One of the things I appreciated most was how deeply I connected with the characters. They were beautifully flawed and human. I saw pieces of myself in their fears, their mistakes, and their small victories. Watching them grow and find strength in unexpected places made me feel seen in ways I didn’t expect. The story never rushed their development—it let them breathe, let them stumble, and then let them rise.

The romance was beautiful. It wasn’t just about butterflies and smiles—it was about love that chooses to stay, even when things get hard. A love that listens, forgives, and grows. It made my heart ache and swell at the same time. This kind of slow, sincere, and unwavering love is the kind of relationship we all deserve to see more of in stories. (I need a Hosu in my life, too!)

Park Bo Young was absolutely brilliant. The way she portrayed two different characters—both with depth, clarity, and subtle emotion—was honestly masterful. You could feel every internal struggle, every flicker of joy, and it never felt overdone. She made it look effortless. And Park Jin Young... my goodness. This man is not just a visual king but also a powerhouse actor. ♡ He gave such a sincere, heartfelt performance that you could see every ounce of pain, hope, and love in his eyes. I truly believe he deserves all the awards—his talent shines with such quiet strength that it's impossible not to be moved.

In the end, this drama wasn't just a favorite—it became a comfort. It reminded me of the resilience of the human heart, the healing power of love and friendship, and the beauty of choosing to live, even when it hurts. It’s a story I’ll carry with me for a long, long time. (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡

For the adults who feels lost in life

I believe that adults who still haven’t figured out what they want in life will deeply relate to this drama. It’s about navigating life while facing hardships. It’s about trying to be perfect because of others' expectations. It’s about finding your purpose after your dreams have fallen apart.

This drama is incredibly healing, especially if you’re someone going through the same situation.

This drama taught me that it’s okay to still feel lost in your 30s. It’s okay if you’re still trying to find your purpose. It’s okay to try new things, even if it feels like time is running out—because it’s not. You’re just being pressured by society.

Unwritten Seoul even by the name I was so hooked. Genuinely loved the acting, cast, story and the soft cinematography of the show. Just watched 2 episodes and they're a really a good start .This drama is so easy - not rushed, not slow no overacting but also setting a strong emotional character development. Park Boyoung outpassed my expectations. Also Park JinYoung is such a great actor. Everyone in tha drama

They chose the perfect actor for the twins

Park bo-young for me at least is known as one of the best actors on playing hard topics on tv such as depression, mental illness, and such

The 4th episode could have broke me if not for me watching so much kdramas, park bo young portraid miji's depression over the loss of (in her words, at leadt to my understanding) only good thing that she does in the eyes of her mom, running, her crying scene was very strong

The way park bo young portrays the twins differently on how they hide there's pain with miji being overly happy, and mirea accepting being the black sheep of the office just to be able to help her family take care of her grandma, how with them switching life were able to learn what they realy think of themself by being able to say it as the other person, or being suprised when people say good thing about them.

Miji blaming herself for her grandma being bedridden and having a panic attack over seeing ro-sa on the floor reminding her of the incident of her grandma was strong, and on point.

Overall if you enjoy Korean dramas with hard topics that are not for the one with weak hearts, this is worth a watch, its story is great so far, the actors are on point, and the cinemagraphy is amazing.

Refreshing

This drama does a remarkable job of portraying mental health struggles and invisible illness with sensitivity and depth. Many K-dramas I’ve seen that touch on these themes tend to lean on disrespectful stereotypes or over-dramatise the issues, but this one feels authentic and respectful. As someone who also lives with mental health challenges and an invisible illness (albeit different from those depicted here), I found myself relating deeply to many of the characters. Their emotions and experiences felt real, and it was comforting to watch.

I already knew Park Bo-young was a talented actress, but this might just be her best performance yet. Her portrayal of the twins was so convincing that they felt like two entirely different people. It’s not uncommon for actors to play multiple roles in the same show, but in my experience, it often feels forced or distracting. Here, though, she was so seamless and natural that it hardly even registered. I’m also usually wary when idols-turned-actors are cast in dramas, as their performances sometimes feel distracting, especially when you’re already a fan. But Jinyoung was such a pleasant surprise. Even as a GOT7 fan, I completely forgot I was watching Jinyoung from GOT7 and fell straight into his character.

Another standout aspect of this drama is how well it handled the side characters and their stories. Too often, secondary plots feel like filler or distractions, but here, every character and subplot was engaging and meaningful. I never felt the urge to skip ahead, and everything contributed to the overall emotional impact of the story.

All in all, this was a deeply moving drama. Sad and heartbreaking at times, yet warm and comforting too. It’s a rare gem that balances heavy themes with humanity and hope, and it left a lasting impression on me.

A beautiful drama to watch that I recommend 100%

I loved watching this drama for these few weeks. This is definitively one of my favorite dramas of all time.

I do not do a lot of reviews but i liked it so much that I have to.
{sorry for my english if there are mistakes}

I loved this drama, the storyline as well as the acting by all the actors are perfect. We have a deep drama with meaningful subjects: harassment, deafness or depression. I found that the drama had the capacity to discuss these subjects deeply, and I found it more interesting than it already was. More than that, the drama is very well filmed with very beautiful landscapes. I can add that the acting of Park Bo Young is amazing as she acted too differently personalities in the same drama. In addition, she's acting mi-ji as mi-rae and vice versa, which is more difficult to do.

I loved also the romance between mi-ji / han-su and mi-rae / se-jin, they are so cute. I loved too the secondary characters as the mother, the grandmother, etc...

Finally, the drama has challenging subjects, but it's captivating to watch. It's a comfort drama that I recommend 100%.

Series 1 Or No?

This began as a great drama. I started to feel uneasy on the last 2 episodes. The ending sucked, but made way for another round of episodes. I knew by how slowly the last episode was playing out that something bad would happen. Too many untied knots were not loosened up. IMO they should have made a complete series. I will hesitate to get so invested to be let down again. No one communicates fully, 30 yo virgins are unheard of with awful communication skills, unsolved relationships and workforce problems that are walked away from and such a let down at the end. I'm pretty upset and feel robbed. Oh well, I'm sure not everyone will fill this way, but I do.

Oops just learned there are 2 more episodes. Still cowardly to just walk away when he went deaf when she accepts him already flaws and all pretty lame
