Our Unwritten Seoul, featuring Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young, received positive reviews from viewers and fans following the release of its initial episodes. On May 24 and 25, 2025, tvN broadcast episodes 1 and 2, respectively, which were later streamed on Netflix. Our Unwritten Seoul illustrates the story of two twin sisters, Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae, who have completely different personalities.
Notably, both characters are brought to life by actress Park Bo-young. The identical twins' striking resemblance makes it difficult for others to tell them apart, including their mother. They use it to their advantage by swapping their names and confusing people when they face unknown issues.
Meanwhile, Park Jin-young, aka GOT7's Jinyoung, plays the role of attorney Lee Ho-su, a high school friend of the twins. Besides relationship dynamics and romance, the drama sheds light on issues like the struggle of being compared to one's sibling, workplace harassment, and more.
These themes have been received well by several viewers of Our Unwritten Seoul. They turned to X to share their sincere take on the drama based on the first two episodes.

Our Unwritten Seoul recap: Misunderstanding between Yu Mi-ji and Lee Ho-su
In episode 1 of Our Unwritten Seoul, Yu Mi-ji, played by Park Bo-young, met Lee Ho-su, depicted by Park Jin-young, outside his house. Being a reserved person, he did not interact much with Yu Mi-ji but asked how her twin Yu Mi-rae was. She found this rude and recalled the time when he used to ignore her when he had first moved from Seoul to Duson.
During high school, Yu Mi-ji used to approach him, but he seemingly acted like he did not hear. She eventually concluded that he didn't like her and did not want to interact with her.
Yu Mi-ji spoke to Yu Mi-rae about Lee Ho-su, and she revealed that he had gotten into a life-threatening accident that injured one entire side of his body. He became partially impaired in his ears as a result of the accident.
On the other hand, Lee Ho-su believed that she looked down on him and was inconsiderate because of his impairment. However, he later learned from his mother that Yu Mi-ji did not know about his impairment. Lee Ho-su’s mother recalled telling Yu Mi-rae about this and asking her to look out for him at school.
Yu Mi-rae did not inform Yu Mi-ji of the same because she did not want Lee Ho-su’s tragic experience and weakness to be known by everyone. According to Lee Ho-su's memory, despite their misunderstandings, they overcame their differences and became friends.
Our Unwritten Seoul episodes 1 and 2 are available for streaming on Netflix.
