After a long wait, the hearts of Park Bo-Young and Park Jin-Young intertwined.
The seventh episode of the tvN weekend drama "Our Unwritten Seoul" (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-Woo and Nam Gun, planned by Studio Dragon and produced by Monster Union and High Ground), aired yesterday (14th), featured Yumi-Ji (played by Park Bo-Young) and Lee Ho-Soo (played by Park Jin-Young), who had been each other's first love but missed their timing to confess and finally declared their true feelings to one another, delivering a warm thrill.
As a result, the seventh episode achieved an average viewership rating of 6.7% in the metropolitan area, peaking at 7.6%, and an average of 6.5% nationwide, peaking at 7.1%, breaking its own nationwide record. Additionally, it secured the top spot in viewership ratings among all channels during the same time slot, both in the metropolitan area and nationwide. In the target demographic of 2049 for tvN, it also claimed the top spot among all channels in the same time slot, including terrestrial networks, establishing itself as a healing drama for everyone.

Lee Ho-Soo, who realized that Yumi-Ji and Yumi-Rae (played by Park Bo-Young) were living each other's lives, went downstairs and started a long conversation with Yumi-Rae. Since the day Yumi-Rae withdrew her internal complaint coincided with the day Lee Ho-Soo visited the company as an external researcher, he believed that Yumi-Rae's decision to abandon her complaint was due to his presence.
As the standoff continued between Lee Ho-Soo, who sought to reveal the truth, and Yumi-Rae, who tried to conceal it, unexpected news reached the two. Kim Ok-Hee (played by Jang Young-Nam), the mother of the twins, and Lee Ho-Soo's mother, Yeom Bun-Hong (played by Kim Sun-Young), had fallen down the stairs. Without delay, Yumi-Rae contacted Yumi-Ji in Seoul, naturally facilitating a meeting between the twin sisters and Lee Ho-Soo.
Yumi-Rae informed Yumi-Ji that Lee Ho-Soo knew about the secret pact of the twin sisters and declared that they should stop the life changes. Remembering how she pretended to be Yumi-Rae in front of Lee Ho-Soo, Yumi-Ji was overwhelmed with embarrassment and ultimately tried to avoid Lee Ho-Soo.
Lee Ho-Soo also felt disappointed by Yumi-Ji, who was intentionally keeping her distance, but he understood her circumstances, which forced her to hide the secret, and quietly waited for the best timing. The scene of the two, who liked each other but couldn't confess their true feelings due to consideration for each other, left the viewers anxious.
Having watched the misunderstandings between Yumi-Ji and Lee Ho-Soo since high school, their classmate Song Kyung-Goo (played by Moon Dong-Hyuk) eventually approached Lee Ho-Soo and encouraged him, saying, "There is no perfect timing." Having regretted missing an opportunity once before, Lee Ho-Soo decided to express his long-held feelings to Yumi-Ji after hearing Song Kyung-Goo's words.
As the sun set and moonlight illuminated the alley, Lee Ho-Soo stood alone with Yumi-Ji and, with a calm yet trembling voice, conveyed his deep affection by saying, "I like you. Very much, for a long time." Yumi-Ji's eyes sparkled with joy in response to Lee Ho-Soo's heartfelt confession, which overcame his fear and approached her first.
Amid the blossoming romance between Yumi-Ji and Lee Ho-Soo, Yumi-Rae began to gradually immerse herself in her fellow strawberry farm business partner, Han Se-Jin (played by Ryoo Kyung-Soo), who had experienced similar pain. Aware that it was wrong, Han Se-Jin offered warm encouragement to Yumi-Rae by saying, "Let’s hold on to even a little happiness, good things, and joy." Inspired by Han Se-Jin's kind words, Yumi-Rae started to prepare to rectify the issues regarding her resignation from the company she had been eager to avoid, as well as the scandal.
"Our Unwritten Seoul" evoked poignant emotions as it depicted the growth of twin sisters who had hidden their fragile inner selves beneath their shells. The storyline of Yumi-Ji and Yumi-Rae, who are going in search of their true selves through the secret pact, is highly anticipated.
The growth journey of Park Bo-Young's sisters, who are gradually becoming stronger, is set to continue in the tvN drama "Our Unwritten Seoul," with the eighth episode airing tonight (15th) at 9:20 p.m.
