REALLY GOOD IN ACTING
(SORRY for my english)
A profoundly human experience, between identity, invisible bonds, and unfulfilled tenderness.
I discovered Unwritten Seoul when this month's dramas were announced, and I was quickly drawn in when I started it. This K-drama deeply touched me with its sincere and almost modest look at human emotions, complicated relationships, and the loneliness we sometimes feel even when surrounded by others.
What struck me most was Park Bo Young's performance, absolutely remarkable in her dual role as twin sisters. She succeeds in portraying two women who are both close and different, each with their own experiences, their wounds, their silences. Even if their personalities overlap at times, we feel that they are two separate beings, and that's precisely what I found intelligent and true: the drama doesn't treat them as a single entity, but rather as two women, with their own ways of feeling, loving, and struggling. I also really enjoyed the romance, while retaining a slight hint of regret: the second love story, softer and more implicit, particularly touched me. Perhaps because it doesn't end the way I would have liked... but that's precisely why it makes the experience more realistic, more poignant.
Another aspect I found very powerful is the way one of the twins learns to stand up for herself, inspired by the strength of the other. Through this bond, the drama addresses powerful themes like gender-based harassment, without ever falling into pathos or overreaction. It's handled with great respect, and above all, with a message of mutual aid and sisterhood that really resonated with me.
Overall, I would say that Unwritten Seoul reminded me of series like Tangerines, which gently address real, powerful issues, not to mention the slice-of-life aspect. It's not an action drama or a fireworks display of twists and turns: it's a work that you watch with your eyes open, but above all with your heart wide open. Unwritten Seoul is a delicate, human K-drama, driven by a moving actress and sincere themes. It speaks of duality, love, resilience, and above all, the richness of existing fully as an individual, even when connected to someone else. Babi (Park Jin Young's nickname) deeply touched me with his wounds and his hearing loss. He once again played his role perfectly. For me, this drama is a success. As for the cast, there are some very beautiful ballads as well, and the romance, the kisses, were convincing!
I wasn't far from a favorite, but it's highly recommended. 7,5/10 !
