Park Bo Young, Park Jinyoung's Our Unwritten Seoul Ep 3-4 recap: Ho Su confesses Mi Ji was his first love
Our Unwritten Seoul dropped its third and fourth episodes on May 31 and June 1. The Saturday-Sunday tvN drama further unveiled the plot with the revelation of the leads' troubled past and how it impacted their present lives. The emotional episodes culminated with a heartfelt confession, getting viewers' hopes high for the speeding up of the slow-burn romance. In episodes 3 and 4, Yoo Mi Ji (Park Bo Young) manages to persuade her twin, Yoo Mi Rae's client, to meet with company officials about a land redevelopment project, but the client has an accidental fall on D-Day, making Mi Ji extremely nervous. Lee Ho Su (Park Jin Young) arrives on time, and helps Mi Ji through a panic attack. When she opens up about the guilt she's been carrying over her grandmother's situation, Ho Su comforts her. On asking why he was defending Mi Ji, he shocks her by confessing his feelings. On seeing her reaction, he nonchalantly said to Mi Ji (disguised as Mi Rae), "You know that Mi Ji is my first love." This confession finally brought an end to the confusion regarding which of the twins Ho Su actually likes. Another notable revelation from the scene is that Mi Rae was aware of his feelings for her sister. Now the question lies, why she hasn't told Mi Ji about it. Regarding the past, we also see Mi Ji's painful estrangement from her mother, as she blames her for only caring for Mi Rae and neglecting her. It is her grandmother, who becomes her rock during then, offering guidance and support that helped her find the strength to face life's challenges. Watch how things advance between the two in episodes 5 and 6. They will air on Netflix and TVING on June 7 and 8 at 9:20 PM KST (5:50 PM IST/8:20 AM EST). As for the actual Mi Rae (disguised as Mi Ji), the next challenge that lies ahead of her is cutting her grandmother's hair. She asks her younger sister to switch back to do the deed. Amid struggles of adapting to Mi Ji's lifestyle, her bond with her work partner– the strawberry farm owner Han Se Jin (Ryu Kyung Soo)– deepens, sparking speculations of them dating each other. To see if the rumors turn real, tune in next week.

Our Unwritten Seoul first impression: Does Park Bo Young even need a male lead in her K-dramas anymore?
Park Bo Young may not be riding a major winning streak lately, but she never fails to surprise with her genre-hopping choices and magnetic chemistry with co-stars. In Our Unwritten Seoul, Netflix's latest K-content drop, she proves she's not just the queen of rom-coms for her leading men, but she also can have crackling chemistry with herself as well. The story revolves around twin sisters, Mi Rae and Mi Ji, both played by Bo Young. The show debuted to a modest 3% viewership in Korea, but pulled a dramatic U-turn, soaring to No. 1 on Netflix Korea's Top 10 Series list just three days post-premiere. Globally, it's already pulling more heat than her Daily Dose of Sunshine and the Melo Movie (her last two OTT hits). And what's a Seoul story without a little swoon? GOT7's Jinyoung is a scene-stealer in a sea of the same. Also read: Go Min Si's school bullying controversy explained: Is her new Netflix K-drama being axed? A typical twin story in the K-drama world would've gone the Shakespearean route, a modern-day Comedy of Errors spin, with rivalry and chaos between two identical sisters separated at birth. But when the maker is Park Shin Woo (Our Beloved Summer, Romance Is a Bonus Book), you know the script won't play by the rules. And though Seoul might be the backdrop, it's the soul of the two sisters that's truly interlinked. These sisters, who, as kids, playfully swapped lives to dodge punishments, always stayed in sync—Mi Rae, the studious one, would study for Mi Ji, while Mi Ji, who oddly enjoyed gulping medicines, would return the favour. But life, as always, had other plans. A tragedy hits the younger sister. Mi Rae moves to Seoul, and distance creeps in; soon, they're no longer the inseparable duo they once were. And just when they think they've drifted too far, fate brings them back together. Mi Ji sees the cracks in her sister's façade and proposes a familiar solution: swap lives again. Only this time, it's not a game, it's a high-stakes gamble. And there's way more at risk. Also read: Good Boy: Park Bo Gum says he'd 'love to do an Indian musical', talks Muhammad Ali as he gears to pack a punch in upcoming K-drama There's something oddly poetic about the names Mi Ji and Mi Rae. Maybe it's how they sound—or what they mean: 'unknown' and 'future'. Fitting. Like the names, they grow up, drift, bend, and break. Just two episodes in, and it's already circling the space that Kim Ji Won, Son Suk Ku's My Liberation Notes once held. Our Unwritten Seoul taps into that gut-level feeling of being an adult who suddenly realises they've stopped dreaming, not because they don't want to, but because the rent's due and survival is the dream now. Two sisters, two lives, carrying different kinds of weight. One's chasing a dream. The other's already in it, burnt out, stuck, can't quit, can't complain. If we have to to classify, Our Unwritten Seoul leans slice-of-life over rom-com or your usual sibling-centric K-drama. Life takes away Mi Ji's only talent, running, gone after a brutal injury kills her shot at becoming a national athlete. Mi Rae, meanwhile, climbs the ranks to become a senior specialist in Korea's finance department. She's got the title, the paycheck, the sharp wardrobe, while her twin's back in the village, juggling jobs, farming, cleaning schools, caring for their grandmother. Same face. Different worlds. But while Mi Rae quietly endures it all, drowning in thoughts she can't speak, Mi Ji still burns bright. Park Bo Young's switch-up is a rare move in her rock-solid career. She's always been familiar, safe, Healer, Strong Girl Bong-soon, Oh My Ghost. Not anymore. While it's too early to judge JinYoung's character, what we do know is this: he's the boy with partial hearing loss from an accident, burns from childhood, and a quiet place in the sisters' orbit. The only one who can tell Mi Ji and Mi Rae apart, even when their own mother can't. He carries a soft spot for Mi Ji, but something tells me he's going to carry a lot more by the time this wraps. His arc is far from done. Our Take Our Unwritten Seoul is a must-watch, especially if you've seen Bo Young's journey from the bubbly, petite girl next door to someone who still carries that charm, only now she's carrying the whole drama. This isn't just another pretty K-drama dipped in soft lighting, it digs into burnout, emotional fatigue, the daily job grind, and still makes space for love. And when the sisters start swapping places, you almost feel like you're switching with them, one moment you're Mi Ji, the next, Mi Rae. Torn between dreams and duty, burnout and hope, but somehow still whole. On the surface, it's a beautiful tale, but when you zoom out, it's a heartbreak. And yes, we'll absolutely be back for episode 3.

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.
