Park Bo-young's 'Our Unwritten Seoul' Hits Record Ratings Amidst Romantic Twists

Park Bo-young's captivating performance in 'Our Unwritten Seoul,' where she plays four different roles, has propelled the show to its highest ratings yet. The conclusion of SBS's 'Royal Palace' on the 7th is believed to have contributed to this ratings surge.

The sixth episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul,' aired on the 8th, featured a heartwarming storyline where Lee Ho-soo (played by Park Jin-young) tries to protect the secret of his first love, Yoo Mi-ji (played by Park Bo-young), leaving viewers' hearts fluttering.

The episode achieved an average household rating of 7.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area, peaking at 8.1%, and a nationwide average of 6.4%, peaking at 7.2%. This not only marked a new high for the series but also secured the top spot in its time slot across cable and general programming channels. Among tvN's target demographic of viewers aged 20-49, it ranked first nationwide across all channels, including terrestrial networks, and first in the Seoul metropolitan area among cable and general programming channels, according to Nielsen Korea.

In a tipsy confession, Yoo Mi-ji revealed her feelings to Lee Ho-soo, only to regret her actions the next day. As she pretended to be Yoo Mi-rae (also played by Park Bo-young) in front of Lee Ho-soo, she subtly inquired about the previous night's events. However, Lee Ho-soo reassured her, saying, "I've sorted everything out, so there's no need to worry," leaving Yoo Mi-ji flustered.

Complicating matters, Yoo Yoo-jin's character, Park Ji-yoon, confessed her feelings for Lee Ho-soo, introducing a new twist in their relationship. Yoo Mi-ji, feeling overshadowed by Park Ji-yoon's seemingly better prospects, swallowed her disappointment alone.

Yoo Mi-ji's friend, Choi Seung-hyun (played by Nam Ji-woo), informed her that Lee Ho-soo and Park Ji-yoon planned to attend a classmate's wedding together, unsettling Yoo Mi-ji. Ultimately, she decided to attend the wedding with Choi Seung-hyun, setting the stage for an awkward encounter among the four.

Meanwhile, Yoo Mi-rae, embroiled in rumors and having quit her farm job, was confined to her room due to trauma. Concerned that her daughter might retreat into isolation again, Kim Ok-hee (played by Jang Young-nam) asked Song Kyung-goo (played by Moon Dong-hyuk) to take Yoo Mi-rae to the wedding.

Upon hearing that Yoo Mi-rae, pretending to be Yoo Mi-ji, was on her way to the wedding with Song Kyung-goo, both Yoo Mi-ji and Lee Ho-soo were visibly tense for different reasons. Lee Ho-soo had uncovered Song Kyung-goo's secret and realized Choi Seung-hyun's true intentions in using Yoo Mi-ji to mock him.

Yoo Mi-ji, having learned the truth from Song Kyung-goo, confronted Choi Seung-hyun and stormed off to follow Lee Ho-soo, determined to reclaim her lost first love. Lee Ho-soo, who had discovered Yoo Mi-ji's true identity in Seoul after her confession, responded to her call, leaving viewers swooning.

Lee Ho-soo listened patiently as Yoo Mi-ji struggled to reveal the secret pact between the twins, reassuring her, "Tell me when you're ready." Yoo Mi-ji found comfort in Lee Ho-soo's understanding, adding warmth to the scene. Under the moonlit sky, their mutual reliance evoked a sweet sense of romance.

Arriving at Han Se-jin's (played by Ryu Kyung-soo) farm with Song Kyung-goo, Yoo Mi-rae attempted to help Han Se-jin clean up the storm-ravaged farm. Stranded by the torrential rain, Han Se-jin surprised her with the remark, "I like the rumors about us," sparking curiosity about his true feelings for Yoo Mi-rae.
