Our Unwritten Seoul

Great drama with beautiful storyline

I love this dramaI binge-watched it in a few days. The storyline is perfect, and I love that they did not force a love triangle as in other dramas. To see the relationship between Mi Ji and Ho Su is just so heartwarming, and I love that there is not some unnecessary "drama," but instead they concentrated on their development... beautiful. Also, it is nice to see how the family dynamics slowly changed. The interaction between Mi Ji and Gyeong is just pure laughter. It is just perfect.

The acting is great, and Bo Young did a great job portraying both characters. The production and cinematography are great.
It is a great comfort drama that you will love for their pure love.

Our Unwritten Seoul” — A Quiet Gem That Whispers to the Soul

Some stories aren’t meant to be shouted — they’re whispered across empty streets, through passing glances, and in the spaces between what’s said and what’s felt. Our Unwritten Seoul isn’t your typical K-drama. It’s a gentle, atmospheric journey through memory, longing, and quiet connection — a drama that speaks loudest in silence.

📖 Plot Overview (Spoiler-Free)
Set against the melancholic backdrop of Seoul’s quieter neighborhoods, this short-format drama follows the intersecting paths of individuals carrying unspoken emotions, unresolved relationships, and regrets too deep for words. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, it offers a deeply introspective look at how people cope, reconnect, and reflect on the lives they could have had.

🎭 Performances That Speak Through Stillness
The lead actors deliver raw, restrained performances that feel deeply lived-in. There’s a remarkable moment — particularly in Episode 11 — where the weight of life’s quiet struggles becomes palpable. It made me reflect on how we all carry pain differently, not to compete with each other’s sadness, but to survive it.

Their chemistry is understated but powerful — nothing is forced, and yet every look, pause, and silence feels intentional. You believe in their history without needing exposition.

🎥 Cinematography & Direction
Visually, Our Unwritten Seoul is breathtaking. The long takes, muted color palettes, and minimal music let each emotion breathe. Every episode ends with a carefully composed moment — where music and visuals come together like a lingering sigh.
Tip: Don’t skip the final few minutes of each episode — the way they use music and slow fades creates a subtle emotional climax that stays with you.

🎼 OST That Lingers Quietly
The soundtrack is tender, almost fragile — just like the characters. A soft piano track plays during a quiet parting scene and left me stunned. It didn’t beg for tears. It earned them.
There’s a particular end-credit song that convinced me to continue watching — a perfect blend of nostalgia and comfort. If you loved the moodiness of Just Between Lovers, this will absolutely resonate.

💫 Scene Highlight — A Joyful Reunion
One of my favorite scenes is when the daughter’s former employer returns from the U.S., finds her, and softly says: “I finally found you.” No grand declaration. No dramatic music. Just a simple, heartfelt line that captures years of unspoken affection and missed chances — but also a feeling of peace.
It’s not a tragic moment — it’s warm, hopeful, and quietly beautiful.

🧠 Themes That Hit Home
At its core, this drama is about the versions of ourselves we don’t show the world — the ones buried beneath routine, regret, and time. It explores grief not as a single event, but as a constant presence.

🎯 Who Should Watch This?
Not for fans of fast-paced thrillers or high-energy rom-coms. But if you’re in the mood for something quiet, poetic, and emotionally mature — this one’s for you.

💬 Final Thoughts
Our Unwritten Seoul won’t be for everyone — and that’s okay. But for the right viewer, it feels like someone quietly put your softest memories, regrets, and hopes on screen.

Did it move you the way it did me? What was the moment that stayed with you the most? Let’s talk. 🖤

I am soo gladd that I watched this drama you should also...

You should also watch this drama because this drama has everything that everyone faces in their life once. Let's see what it is.


There are two twin sisters whose name is mi-ji and mi-rae. The oldest sister is mi-rae and he younger one is mi-ji their mother always favours mi-rae more she love mi-ji also but she has more faith in mi-rae and expectations from mi-rae. She always used to compare her oldest and youngest daughter mi-rae and mi-ji. I think in some houses some younger siblings get compared with their oldest sibling and also expected the same result from them as their oldest sibling got. She tried to be like her oldest sister but she can't.

There is a boy who can't hear from his left ear and he was once in a accident his leg got broken and has a artifical leg. He lives in front house of the sister(s). Mi-rae knew he can't and he has a artificial leg but mi-ji didn't knew so she tried to talk to him but he didn't answer because he can't hear so she acted kinda rude with him. But then when she get to know she regretted what she did, then after sometime they got close and they both like each other but didn't confess at that time.

When they were in their adult era so the sister(s) mother started to compare them more and always favours mi-rae than mi-ji. It is also because mi-rae started working in a big company and mi-ji started to work as a janitor in a school. Mi-rae started to work in seoul so the mi-rae and mi-ji can't be able to meet that often so one day they met and mi-rae started to talk about how to sucide without hurting yourself and mi-ji was like is she crazy, but mi-rae was also very stressed and she was struggling with her job she was also being bullied at her job no one was her friend at her job.

So when mi-rae and mi-ji met at the restaurant to mi-rae started to talk about how to sucide as i told you earlier then mi-ji was gone to washroom and when she came back mi-rae wasn't there she started to call her and started to panic she was thinking that will she really do what she said? She ran to her house and saw that she was really doing it and she was going to jump but then mi-ji held her hand then they both fell but they were not that badly injured. So as mi-rae was struggling with her job so she decided to take a break without anybody knowing. So they decided to switch places with each other mi-rae decided to be mi-ji and mi-ji decided to be mi-rae.

As ho-su who is the male lead in the drama and he is also working in seoul they and mi-ji met and he found out that she is mi-ji because of some specific things and he also like her. Then hey confess they are soo cute and their chemistry and they also so chaotic and funny also😭❤️. In the second last ep hosu was having problem with his right ear also like he can't be able to hear so one day he said mi-ji let's break up because of his hearing he thought mi-ji's love will not be the same for him so they broke up and what happened see when you watch it.When mi-ji was mi-ji she also used to work in a strawberry farm so now mi-rae is working in strawberry farm and the owner of the farm and mi-rae fell in love when she was working there but they didn't confess and let it go😭😭😭 it hurtssss I know.

WHY DID I CUT MARKS IN WHICH THINGS?
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

1. STORY: My review to this drama is amazing like this drama shows the struggle of eldest and youngest child,comparisons, about family, love, doing something you love and sometimes letting go in love. This drama has my whole heart FRR❤️🤌🏻 like this drama is about everyone’s life I think you should watch it I think some of you will relate to this.

2. ACTING/CASTING: The acting of every actor was really good,accurate and genuine. Everyone nailed specially (unpopular opinion) mi-ji and mi-rae mom's acting was my fvrt. The casting was also very good mi-ji and mi-rae partners matched the vibe with each other.

3. MUSIC: The OST was really good and goes with the scenes and moments. That’s why it is a 10/10.

4. REWATCH VALUE: I would watch this drama 100 times but I would get bored at one tike so 7.5

You should watch this drama this is drama is basically about most of the kids or people's life. I am soo gladd that I watched this drama you should also(you know why).

Four unconventional wholes, being clumsily vulnerable with each other

Two sisters, identical from head to toe, leading completely opposite lives.

My only critique of this drama is that I wish it was longer, giving more time to explore certain things in just a little more depth.

I find it interesting how two people of the same age, who look and sound the same, grew up under the same roof, surrounded by the same people, how they can turn out so different from each other, and walk such different paths in life. It’s fascinating to think about.

A big thing with this drama is that there are no real villains, rotten to the core. I didn’t hate or even really dislike any of the characters. Everyone made mistakes, someone could do or say something I disliked, but they were all human. No one means to be cruel, and when they realise that, they try to do better. Isn’t that what we all strive for, to be better It’s just that often we don’t know how, and we lack the courage to ask for help, or are unable to find the words.


Favourite quotes:

The first twin would be Mi-Ji, meaning unknown. The second would be Mi-rae, meaning future. But the first one needed a future more than her sister. So the older sister was named Mi-rae. As for me, I just got the name that was left.

Was this thrown away because it deflated? Or did it deflate because it was thrown away? Am I living like this because of the way I am? Or am I like this because of the way I live?

Nothing happened but so much has happened all
these years to even process it. To have only lived
in my mind and nowhere else but only the idea of the world.

I am not who I used to be and I am not who I want to become I am just stuck.

What makes a person human
Is love, pressed down just a little
Pressed a little
From above, below, and the sides
Like freshly packed rice in a bowl
Like an eraser worn down
From choosing kind words
So that the warmth shared
Between two embraced bodies
Won’t escape
Won’t disappear
And will become human

"Is it thrown because it was deflated " Or "It deflated because it was thrown "

"I am like this because of my living...."


OR " I am the reason I am living like this"

watching this really made me think so deep, after a long a time a kdrama made me think so deep. the character ( twins ) are so different yet same

i love how they told us about workplace bullying , we can understand a child making fun of other child ( children means age 1-9 ) after that they have the understanding
but adults who work in a big company and got there education from some prestigious universities are bullying each other , and the fact the law never does anything, the law or just everyone is with the person who has power even if they have done something wrong

we often think we know few people who are really close to us , but the real truth is that we don't anyone, we don't know what a person is going through but we people as a society always judge but then if someone , person who has even a little bit of courage speaks about it we make them our next victim and this cycle goes on and nobody tried to stop it

this a amazing k drama , i am just 2 ep into it and I am loving it
Highy recommend

I felt seen.

As someone who went through self-isolation, self-pity and self-hatred multiple times (and unfortunately will keep going through this vicious cycle at least once a year) this drama and the writing made me feel seen and undersood.

For someone who hates themselves as much as we do, things like criticizing what we're doing (or not doing), asking us about our plans for future, telling us to just change the way we see the world and other things like that doesn't help at all. and believe me when i say this: no one is harsher on us than we are.
Actually getting yelled at and being called useless is comfortable for us since we are trying to punish ourselves anyways. It's familiar because we tell ourselves the exact same things whenever we are alone with our thoughts, and it's a lot easier than having to face our problems and our selves.
The attention and worry of our loved ones (if we are lucky enough to have people who care about us) becomes a burden and an additional source of stress and anxiety, which we try to avoid as we already have too much on our plate. Hence the isolation.
The invisible barriers that we face, sometimes as simple as getting out of bed yet so difficult to achieve, are not considered real or acknowledged. It's " just all in our heads". Well I guess that statement isn't wrong.


I was lucky enough to be able to go back to a somewhat normal, functional life and I am so grateful for that. And don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that this ... well ... situation ... is in fact an excuse for me that helps me avoid the effort it takes to change myself for the better and face the problems in my life. But it doesn't make it any easier to overcome.
What helped me was in fact one friend. Just one friend who undertood what I was going through because she was going through the same thing. What I felt watching this drama, specially when we see what Mi-Jae went through in her room, gave me the familiar feeling of when i was venting to that one friend. This is why this drama is special for me.

The acting is great. The whole cast did a great job, specially the main leads. However in my opinion Kim Sun-Young who played the role of male lead's mother is the actress who shines the brightest. Her performance in episode 11 is unforgettable and truly great. I hope all the best for her.

I do want to mention this was not a comfortable or easy watch for me. I tend to start dramas after they are finished, but I still had to go back and forth between this drama and other, more lighthearted dramas.

Thanks for reading this long review.
If you are going through the same problems I did, feel free to hit me up. I do not have a solution, but maybe I can help you the way my friend helped me. I am here if you just open that door.

Healing Souls, Healing Hearts!!!

This is my first time writing a review, so please understand if there are any mistakes...
Rather than saying the twin sisters swapping lives to find themselves, I would say the struggles of single mothers for bonding with their children, What begins as a simple switch grows into a layered story of family, love & identity. Especially the seniors actress as mother's who struggle in each and every aspect of their lives while raising their kids...

Now coming to the story, starting with the premise, it is a basic plot that we have seen in many dramas before, only with a twist of twins. it is not just about mistaken identities but also about second chances and a gentle reminder of how easy it is sometimes to lose ourselves trying to live a life we think we are supposed to as per societal standards.

The script explores the changes and personal realities in an obvious, up-front way. Sometimes the lines feel a little like you are in a session with a psychologist who is giving life skills advice. But the advantage of this style is that the message is very clear for the viewer, who can easily follow the internal workings of the character.

Park Bo Young hits the ball out of the park, She plays the twins character with such an ease,
Park Jin Yong played an exception character of not being burden to other especially to his mom.
Jang Young Nam and Kim Sun Young, whom am I to judge these veteran actress, only one word "Awesome actress"
Supporting cast also did a fabulous Job especially Im Chul Soo growing as an actor with each drama...

Overall, Our Unwritten Seoul is a light hearted drama about self healing and overcoming struggles that works due to good performances, It was soft, painful, comforting but honest. It's been a while K-dramas made me feel this way.
I would 100% recommend it.

Thank you for reading my review! <3 I hope you enjoy this drama as much as I did! :))

A gentle, comforting balm of a show for the woes faced by today's youth

If a show could be perfect, this would be it.

Our Unwritten Seoul tells the story of twins Mirae and Miji, primarily from the perspective of the latter. With a name meaning future, Mirae is set up for success, with a public corporation job in the heart of bustling Seoul. Miji, on the other hand, lags behind, having been set back by a track accident in high school and the ensuing frustration of losing her one talent. Despite being in seemingly opposite places in life, Mirae harbors a deep loneliness due to circumstances at work, while Miji keeps her spirits up despite working odd part-time jobs. When the two get involved in each others' lives, they get insight into the unique problems each one faces, while growing, healing, & learning what they truly want out of life.

As a 20-something year old trying to find my footing in the big, bad world, I really felt heard by this show. I related to Miji's frustration when things kept not working out, her burnout and resentment of the situation she was placed in. I related to neighbor Lee Hosu's struggle between his morals & career ideals. I related to the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter whose relationship mirrors the relationship of the mother and her own mom. I related to Mirae's overwhelmed feelings in a huge corporation, where you feel like a cog in a wheel. I related to Miji's inability to escape the throes of her own mind, Mirae's enthusiasm hidden by a cold cynicism. So many dialogues felt ripped from my mind, like they watched me during my lowest & highest points and turned my thoughts into a show. And I know I'm not the only one - so many of my friends have echoed the concerns these characters have. In being a slice of life story with a guiding plot thread, they cover so much ground, all while feeling so natural. It's like entering their world for a brief moment, and exiting when the time is right.

But even if you aren't young and entering the real world for the first time, this show is still immensely enjoyable. You'll find highlights in the bristly Rosa restaurant shop owner with deep scars and a sad past. Her journey to healing and growth, as she opens up to Miji, is so touching to see. Her backstory was simply brilliant. Hosu's mother and Hosu have such a fragile but lovely relationship, which was explored so beautifully. The strawberry farm owner and his love for his grandpa add such a warm note to the drama - he reminds us of optimism & hope when the other characters lack it. The morally gray lawyer, using his diability as a shield, was so interesting, not painted as wholly good or bad in a very fresh way. And the lovely grandma, God bless her heart, brought so much humanity to a story about women and their struggles. Every conversation, every relationship, every scene, every little detail felt intentional, built to mirror another or remind a character of some good in the world.

Naturally, this only happens when your actors blast it out of the water. Boyoung is a force in this, as Miji and Mirae almost always feel like two completely distinct people. She portrays Mirae's quiet sentimentality and Miji's exuberant happiness so faithfully, you ncompletely forget that they're the same actor. She has perfect chemistry with both her male costars, a difference in the way each character looks at their specific love interest. I really think Jinyoung picks his roles so well; they feel human & emotional in the best way. You could see the conflict in his eyes, but also a real and deep love. Mr. Strawberry farm, the mom, the Rosa restaurant owner - all given 10000% justice by their actors, which is so important for everything to weave together so effortlessly.

Despite its darker subject matter, the show never feels depressing. Its real in that the sadness parallels the happy moments. It ebbs and flows naturally. And it all works to tell the story of these Normal People. Its the story of people like you and me and how we maneuver the everyday struggles of life. It was short, it was sweet, it was intentional. And that is why I consider it a perfect drama. Despite wanting more of some things (like the strawberry farm couple!). I recognized that it wrapped up perfectly. It reminds us that pains do pass and that, one day, we'll look back on hardships and smile, because we have grown so beautifully and come to our own, no matter how long it takes. And I'll be waiting for that day.
