All About Self Healing
Our Unwritten Seoul follows twin sisters Mi-ji and Mi-rae as they swap their lives to find themselves. What begins as a simple switch grows into a layered story of family, love & identity. The twins, though have different traits, ultimately have the similar nature and try to sympathize with each other, as the show moves forward.
Starting with the premise, it is a basic plot that we have seen in many dramas before, only with a twist of twins. The struggles one individual goes through and people around them that helps them to recover from their sufferings - a trait we see in most of the dramas. The positive thing about the drama are the characters; each of them are finely written with their own struggling backstory and their way of dealing it.
Similar to many dramas, the runtime for this K-Drama feels a bit stretchy, even though with 12 episodes. The cinematography is very beautiful where we see landscapes of Seoul, along with the flashbacks of teenage time of the characters, that are crafted very well. The background score is decent that blends well with the story and the scenes. Park Bo Young gave a strong performance, and although I felt the drama had less spark, her performance remained a strong highlight throughout the show.
Overall, Our Unwritten Seoul is a light hearted drama about self healing and overcoming struggles that works due to good performances, but is pulled back by stretchy runtime and cliché romantic moments from being a great show.
My Rating : 6.5/10
