tvN's new drama 'Unknown Seoul' has confirmed the casting of Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young, announcing the birth of a warm story that will comfort everyone's lives.
The new tvN drama 'Unknown Seoul' (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and High Ground) is a romantic coming-of-age drama about twin sisters who, despite looking identical, lead completely different lives and embark on a journey to find true love and life through a lie that swaps their identities.
Director Park Shin-woo, known for creating a solid fan base with dramas like 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' and 'Jealousy Incarnate', teams up with writer Lee Kang, who showcased delicate writing in 'Youth of May', drawing attention. The combination of the emotionally rich melodrama and the intense thriller genres promises a unique synergy with actors Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young, who have a wide acting spectrum.
Park Bo-young will take on her first dual role as the twin sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae, with everything except their faces being different. The younger sister, Yu Mi-ji, has ended her brief peak as a promising track athlete and is now living a free-spirited life. In contrast, the older sister, Yu Mi-rae, has walked the path of an elite since her school days and is currently a perfectionist working in a public enterprise.
Despite their identical appearances, like fish-shaped pastries, the twin sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae start a daring lie that leads them to swap their lives for some reason. Viewers are curious about Park Bo-young's versatile performance that will depict the extreme daily lives of the twin sisters who have exchanged their lives.
After completing his military service, Park Jin-young continues his active career, taking on the role of Lee Ho-soo, a lawyer at a large law firm with a tall appearance and a seemingly carefree attitude. Although he appears to be a flawless noble swan, he is actually working twice as hard as others for a normal life due to past experiences that have changed his daily life.
As a result, while living a calm life without revealing his true feelings, one day, an unexpected encounter shakes Lee Ho-soo's heart. What kind of connection will disrupt the always composed Lee Ho-soo? Expectations are rising for Park Jin-young's performance that will express the rich inner world of the character.
Thus, 'Unknown Seoul' will offer empathy, healing, and excitement through the process of the twin sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae, who lead opposite lives for their own reasons, meeting Lee Ho-soo and finding their true selves. How will the lives of Yu Mi-ji, Yu Mi-rae, and Lee Ho-soo intersect? Their romance is also highly anticipated.
The warm healing chemistry created by trusted actors Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young will shine in the new tvN drama 'Unknown Seoul', which is set to premiere in the first half of next year.
