Actor Park Jin-young Praises Park Bo-young's Dedication and Talent in 'Our Unwritten Seoul'

Actor Park Jin-young recently shared his thoughts on working with Bo-young Park.

In a recent interview at BH Entertainment's headquarters in Gangnam, Seoul, Park Jin-young discussed his role in the tvN drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul'.

'Our Unwritten Seoul' is a romantic coming-of-age drama about twin sisters who swap lives to find true love and meaning, despite being identical only in appearance.

In the series, Park Jin-young plays Lee Hosu, a high school friend of the twins Yumi-rae and Yumi-ji, and a top lawyer at a major law firm. He spoke about his experience working with Park Bo-young, saying, "From the start, I felt very comfortable and in sync with her. That's my perspective, but you'd have to ask Park Bo-young to be sure," he laughed.

He continued, "There was no need for further explanation; our chemistry was perfect from the beginning, allowing me to act without hesitation. I had to interact with four different characters: Yumi-rae pretending to be Yumi-ji and vice versa. It was challenging to decide how to react to each character, but Park Bo-young's performance made it easy for me to respond naturally."

Park Jin-young expressed admiration for Park Bo-young, who played four roles: Yumi-ji, Yumi-rae, Yumi-rae pretending to be Yumi-ji, and Yumi-ji pretending to be Yumi-rae. He noted, "About 80% of the lines were hers, and she memorized them all. It was truly amazing."

He added, "There were many scenes where Park Bo-young had to act as if Miji wasn't there, looking into empty space. Her practice made her performance almost mechanical in its perfection. I felt so guilty when I missed my cues and caused retakes that I wanted to kneel in apology."

Park Jin-young also recalled a scene filled with emotion where he struggled with his lines. "In episode 12, there was a scene where I had to give a ring, but I couldn't remember any of my lines that day. I felt like crying. Even though it was a tense situation, Park Bo-young and the director reassured me, telling me to take it easy, which made me even more emotional. I was genuinely grateful and sorry," he shared.
