Our Unwritten Seoul is a story about women – young, middle aged and elderly – helping one another, finding their footing on shaky ground, and having the courage to be themselves without apology. The narrative is so rich that a lot of the storylines were elevated. Sangwol for example could've just been a grouchy old lady that Miji draws out of her shell, but instead her own background mirrored the main plot. Even the supporting characters had so much thought and care put into their stories. It never felt manipulative at all, the emotions were justly earned. We got to see elderly people treated with so much deference as they dispensed wisdom and loved their grandchildren unconditionally, never letting them feel like failures. We also got to see thoughtful and well rounded portrayals of disability and the people who have them. The writing and performances by the cast worked in tandem to breathe life into this wholly unexpected and profound drama.
I love Park Bo Young's acting and I don't really understand how someone can say she's "trapped in one image" LOL! Miji and Mirae truly feel like they're portrayed by two different actresses, she's able to capture the subtle shifts. One twin is bubbly and the other is more reserved and I can't even decide which version I like best.
this show is so layered and meaningful. Miji made a pinky promise with her grandmother to never give up or run away. the only other person she made pinky promises with was Mirae. and after she and Mirae had lost touch and become distant with one another, they renewed the pinky promise. their grandmother is one of the few people who can tell them apart and she's the one who assured them that they were brave for surviving and even for running away...💔
This is so devastating. One of my favorite actors, I'm always recommending A Hard Day to people. RIP Lee Sun Kyun and all my love to his family 💔 this is too hard
Happy birthday to my favorite actress! Just watched her debut in the very bizarre and disjointed short film, Equal (2006) which is not available to log anywhere. She was just 16 years old!!! Who could guess that she’d go on to have the long career she has. I love my bbo 🫶🏼💫
It only took you a month?! And you still managed to write all of this? That's super impressive. I had to skim the article but I hope to read it in full soon!! Great work!
It'll be her second nurse role after Concrete Utopia...:')
I am excited because I miss her to death and she did say she wouldn't choose a fantasy project again!! So hopefully she accepts, this seems like a good change of pace.
