Park Bo-young Shines in Quadruple Role as 'Our Unwritten Seoul' Premieres with High Ratings

The much-anticipated drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul' premiered on tvN on the 24th, capturing viewers' hearts with Park Bo-young's impressive performance in a quadruple role. This comes shortly after the conclusion of 'Resident Playbook,' which featured a standout performance by Go Yoon-jung.

In the first episode, viewers were introduced to twin sisters Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae, both played by Park Bo-young, who swap lives, setting an emotional tone from the start. The premiere achieved impressive ratings, with a 4.2% average and a peak of 5.5% in the metropolitan area, and a 3.6% average and a peak of 5% nationwide, securing the top spot in its time slot across cable and general programming channels. It also ranked first among tvN's target demographic of 20-49-year-olds, according to Nielsen Korea.

Yoo Mi-ji, who had to give up her track dreams due to an injury, now lives in the village of Dooson-ri, caring for her grandmother and working diligently. In contrast, her sister Yoo Mi-rae excels academically and works at a public corporation in Seoul. Despite pressure from their mother, Kim Ok-hee, and neighbor Yeom Boon-hong to find a job, Mi-ji harbors resentment towards Mi-rae.

Contrary to the village's perception, Mi-rae struggles alone in Seoul, facing workplace harassment after supporting a senior who exposed a superior's corruption. Overwhelmed by indifference and disdain, Mi-rae even responds harshly to her sister's calls.

The sisters' strained relationship begins to mend thanks to Mi-ji's friend Lee Ho-soo, played by Park Jin-young, who encourages Mi-ji to reach out to her sister, reminding her of their close bond.

Prompted by Ho-soo's words, Mi-ji visits Seoul under the pretense of delivering food from their mother. She finds Mi-rae in a strangely different state, and Mi-rae's refusal to go to work despite an injury alarms Mi-ji.

In a desperate attempt to calm her fears, Mi-ji rushes to Mi-rae, only to find her precariously perched on a window ledge. As Mi-ji tries to save her, they both fall, leading to a tearful exchange of apologies and regrets.

Determined to help her sister, Mi-ji proposes they switch lives, just as they did in childhood, saying, "I'll live as you, and you live as me." The twins' secret pact, sealed with a pinky promise, leaves viewers eager to see how their story unfolds.
