Our Unwritten Seoul X review: Park Bo Young shines in emotional double role, opens at No. 1 as fans call it 'healing drama'
Our Unwritten Seoul X review: If chasing great scripts were an Olympic sport, Park Bo Young would take home the gold for South Korea. After stealing hearts with the slow-burn romance Melo Movie alongside Choi Woo Shik, the talented actress is back in Our Unwritten Seoul, and once again, she's at the top of her game, this time taking on a challenging double role. Also starring Jinyoung of Got7, the tvN drama premiered its first episode on Sunday (May 24), and the first reviews suggest it's another masterpiece from Park Bo Young. What's the plot of Our Unwritten Seoul? Our Unwritten Seoul follows twin sisters, Yu Mi Rae and Yu Min Ji, who have been each other's biggest support since birth, but adulthood slowly pulls them apart. Mi Rae is an academic genius, while Min Ji was once a rising sports prodigy until an unexpected injury abruptly ended her athletic career. Now, as adults, their lives couldn't be more different. Min Ji is a free-spirited soul taking on odd jobs just to get by, living one day at a time. Mi Rae, on the other hand, works a corporate job and quietly suffers under the weight of workplace bullying. When Min Ji decides to visit her sister after sensing her growing distance, she's devastated by what she learns. Mi Rae opens up about her mental burnout, the crushing isolation she feels, and how she sometimes wishes for an injury, just to get a few days off work. The confession breaks Min Ji's heart. In a desperate attempt to help, Min Ji makes a bold move: she secretly starts showing up at the office, pretending to be Mi Rae. Meanwhile, Jinyoung plays their neighbor, Lee He Soo, a kind-hearted and diligent lawyer who starts falling for Min Ji, unaware that she's not actually Mi Rae. Our Unwritten Seoul X review: Fans praise Park Bo Young-Jinyoung's reflective series With just one episode in, fans are already hooked on Our Unwritten Seoul, praising its raw, honest portrayal of burnout and the emotional toll of office life. One user wrote, 'Episode 1 was promising. #ParkBoYoung did her job well, playing two characters as twins—and in the next episode, she'll be playing four characters because their lives were switched.

Byeon Woo-seok, Park Eun-bin, Kiss of Life: A peek at their childhood photos on South Korea's Children's Day, Entertainment News
Every year on May 5, South Korea and Japan celebrate Children's Day and some celebrities commemorate the occasion by taking to social media and posting pictures of themselves from their childhood. Here's a look at some Korean stars from when they were cute little ones. Park Eun-bin Today (May 5), actress Park Eun-bin joined in on the fun and posted on Instagram an adorable picture of herself as a young tree-hugger. The 32-year-old is well-known for her versatility in acting, excelling in dramas like Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) and most recently Hyper Knife. Next up, we will see her in drama series The Wonder Fools starring Cha Eun-woo. Kiss of Life K-pop girl group Kiss of Life shared photos of their younger selves yesterday. On their X page, a chalkboard collage edit was put up of the four girls — Julie, Belle, Natty and Haneul — with short text scribbled in the members' handwriting. In case you missed it, they had an exciting concert in Singapore just two weeks ago and announced that they have a new song coming up. Stay tuned! Byeon Woo-seok Last year, actor Byeon Woo-seok's agency posted on Instagram a scrapbook-style picture of their talents as children, and the Lovely Runner star can be seen dressed stylishly in a beige coat and scarf. Even from such a young age, his fashion sense was already so pronounced. The 33-year-old, who was recently in Singapore to attend an event by Cartier, is set to be the main lead in the upcoming K-drama The 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife starring IU later this year. Jackson Wang He's not Korean but he did make his showbiz debut in the K-pop boy band Got7. On his 31st birthday this year, Jackson Wang's mum posted a picture of him on Instagram and dedicated some sweet words to him. In her post, she wrote: "My dear son, time flies and it's your birthday again... Looking back on the past, you have overcome all obstacles and bravely pursued your dreams. Every step you took has witnessed your transformation and made you the outstanding person you are today. "Use your kindness and tenacity to write your own wonderful chapter, filling the eyes of all those who love you with proud stars. In the new year, I wish that you'll have a healthy body to embrace every morning and evening; I wish your life to be poetic and picturesque, filled with incomparable sunshine and laughter." In March, Jackson hopped on Super Junior Eunhyuk's podcast Hey, Come Here?, where he spoke candidly about quirky moments with Got7 throughout the years. The Hong Kong-born former national fencer even recounted that he once "threw instant rice" when asked to reveal their biggest fight. Twice To borrow the name of one of their hit songs, it's pretty 'Fancy' how the members of K-pop girl group Twice all understood the assignment and dressed the part to recreate their childhood photos. In 2022, the girls made a side-by-side comparison post of themselves on Instagram, donning fits inspired by their kid-selves and in the same poses too! View this post on Instagram A post shared by TWICE (@twicetagram) Just last month, they performed as special guests at Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour concerts in Seoul. They will also embark on their sixth world tour this year. Keep your ears peeled for their tour stops! Ma Dong-seok Actor Ma Dong-seok, also known by his English name Don Lee, posted a video compilation on Instagram last May of himself through the years, from when he was four years old. The 54-year-old will be starring in Pig Village, the first large-scale English-language film to be produced almost entirely in South Korea.
