The secrets of the characters in 'Unknown Seoul' are being gradually revealed, intensifying the flow of the drama.
tvN's weekend drama 'Unknown Seoul' (written by Lee Kang / directed by Park Shin-woo, Nam Geon / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Monster Union, High Ground) continues to unfold with exciting developments, including the romance between Yu Mi-ji (played by Park Bo-young) and Lee Ho-soo (played by Park Jin-young), as well as the family drama and various hidden stories.
First, the return of Park Sang-young (played by Nam Yoon-ho), who had put Yu Mi-rae (played by Park Bo-young) in a difficult position, brings a crisis to the twin sisters. Yu Mi-ji, who was working in place of Yu Mi-rae without knowing about Park Sang-young, was shocked and confused by his resemblance to their father.
Only then did Yu Mi-ji begin to feel the deep wounds of her twin sister, who had to endure the rumors surrounding her and the question of how she would react if someone resembling their father appeared.
However, the involved party, Yu Mi-rae, is keeping quiet about what happened between her and Park Sang-young, leaving the exact details unclear. Moreover, upon his return, Park Sang-young secretly colluded with Director Choi Tae-kwan (played by Jung Seung-gil) and Team Leader Shin Kyung-min (played by Lee Si-hoon), devising a scheme that would put both Yu Mi-rae and Yu Mi-ji in a difficult situation, inciting anger.
Nevertheless, with the only ally Yu Mi-ji by Yu Mi-rae's side, along with Lee Ho-soo, who has shown a willingness to help, and Han Se-jin, whom she met in the escape from paradise, attention is focused on whether she will muster the courage to fight back.
Meanwhile, it was revealed in the last broadcast that Lee Ho-soo and Yeom Bun-hong (played by Kim Sun-young) are not related by blood. Yeom Bun-hong lost her husband in an accident but has not let go of Lee Ho-soo, who must live with the burden of feeling like a burden himself.
Due to this backstory, the mother and son cannot fully express their true feelings, fearing that their words might burden each other, making viewers anticipate the day they can stand together as one family.
Next, Han Se-jin calmly confessed to Yu Mi-rae the reason he chose to return to farming. As a former CIO of an asset management company, he was unable to be with his grandfather during his final moments due to important work, and out of deep guilt, he gave up everything and returned to his grandfather's farm. This sudden decision led to strange rumors, but he took it lightly, which also served to awaken Yu Mi-rae, who had been hiding out of fear of rumors.
Encouraged by Han Se-jin's support, Yu Mi-rae is now considering the option of staying on the farm. However, with the visit from a character named Director Yoon, rumors have spread that Han Se-jin might return to the U.S., drawing attention to his decision.
Meanwhile, as Lee Chung-gu (played by Lim Cheol-soo) becomes the lawyer for the construction side of the Rosa Building sale, the secrets of Kim Rosa (played by Won Mi-kyung), which have been sealed for decades, are gradually being uncovered. Lee Chung-gu, who will stop at nothing for a winning fight, has begun to pressure her by mentioning Hyun Sang-wol. Kim Rosa was visibly shaken when Hyun Sang-wol's name was mentioned, and Lee Chung-gu has inferred that there are untold stories behind Kim Rosa that are not easy to bring up, having discovered that Hyun Sang-wol had killed Kim Rosa's husband.
There is one more unresolved question about Kim Rosa. Although she is a poet who has left behind famous works, she currently cannot read or write properly. This raises further questions about how Kim Rosa was able to write poetry, and anticipation is high for this week's broadcast, where the long-held stories between Kim Rosa and Hyun Sang-wol will begin to unfold.
'Unknown Seoul' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM on tvN.
