Park Bo-young unfolded her life's mistake notebook in search of the real 'me' through lies.
On the 25th, the second episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul' (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo and Nam Gun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and High Ground) depicted twin sisters Yumi-ji (played by Park Bo-young) and Yumi-rae (played by Park Bo-young) gradually discovering each other's worlds that they previously did not know.
As a result, the second episode's viewership rating recorded an average of 5.6% in the metropolitan area, with a peak of 6.5%, and an average of 5% nationwide, with a peak of 5.8%, refreshing its own record and ranking first in both the metropolitan area and nationwide among cable and general programming channels during the same time slot. It also ranked first among cable and general programming channels among the target demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49 (based on integrated paid platforms including cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).
After signing a secret deal, Yumi-ji, pretending to be Yumi-rae, began her work life based on the documents containing the characteristics and rules of the company that belonged to Yumi-rae. However, contrary to the document's contents, work life was not easy, and enchanted by her boss's sweet talk, Yumi-ji failed even to fulfill the promise of 'staying calm' she made with Yumi-rae and ended up taking on an important project.
Eventually, Yumi-ji headed to a restaurant to meet the property owner Kim Ro-sa (played by Won Mi-kyung), the most important person in the project. However, before Yumi-ji could even speak, Kim Ro-sa pushed her out the door and even sprinkled salt, leaving Yumi-ji frustrated.
As if that wasn't enough, Yumi-ji unexpectedly encountered her first love, Lee Ho-soo, in Seoul, adding another variable to her plans. In particular, since Lee Ho-soo had uniquely recognized Yumi-ji since their school days, the risk of her identity being discovered was imminent. Despite trying hard to act like Yumi-rae whenever Lee Ho-soo brought up her name, Yumi-ji's heart remained anxious.
At the same time, Yumi-rae, pretending to be Yumi-ji, was behaving in stark contrast to her sister, raising suspicions among the villagers. Nevertheless, Yumi-rae met the farm owner Han Se-jin (played by Ryu Kyung-soo) who called her and completed a simple interview, leading to her working as a temporary worker at Changhwa Farm for a week.
As they adapted to each other's worlds, Yumi-ji learned from Lee Ho-soo that the reason Yumi-rae reported her boss in the past was due to a sexual issue, gradually altering the sisters' relationship. Yumi-rae also began to understand her sister's heart, which had to smile even through loneliness and pain, by directly experiencing what Yumi-ji had gone through in Dosun-ri. The sisters' efforts to find the wrongs through someone else's life, rather than their own way of living, left a touching resonance.
In the midst of it all, Yumi-ji found herself in jeopardy of being caught by Lee Ho-soo, the 'Yumi-ji detector,' surprising everyone. While realizing the dream of living in Seoul that they had hoped for together during their school days, Yumi-ji received a call from the much-desired property owner Kim Ro-sa and, forgetting her act of pretending to be Yumi-rae, showed an excited reaction.
Lee Ho-soo, who gazed at her jumping around like a child, threw a direct question: 'Yumi-ji, are you really Yumi-ji?' This left Yumi-ji frozen. It raises curiosity about how Yumi-ji, who is on the verge of having her identity exposed early in her life change, will navigate this situation.
Despite believing they were the closest to each other, Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae did not know each other as much. They are getting to know each other while living each other's lives. Above all, Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae's story, which explores the real answers through numerous mistakes in life, offers empathy and comfort to viewers.
The tvN weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul,' serving as a guide for those who have lost their real 'me' under the pressures of reality, will air its third episode on the 31st (Saturday) at 9:20 p.m.
