Our Unwritten Seoul
What's the Story?
In OUR UNWRITTEN SEOUL, twin sisters, Mi-ji and Mi-rae (Park Bo-young, Melo Movie) are so identical that only two people can tell them apart. Their propensities are very different; one is a star pupil, the other a fantastic athlete. But life has pulled them apart, one lives in the big city, while the other lives in their rural hometown. When Mi-rae faces a crisis, her sister shows up to help. Will their differences polarize their reunion? Or will they find that their bond is deeper than anyone realizes?
Is It Any Good?
Twins help each other through challenges in this softhearted, spunky series. Playing both twins with energetic aplomb, Park Bo-young succeeds in imbuing uniqueness into her heroines. In Our Unwritten Seoul, family life feels familiar, almost intimate, as wires get crossed and uncrossed-- and crossed again. Teens and families who enjoy family dramas will appreciate the thoughtful portrayal of two very different twin sisters. Thoughtful, too, is the inclusion of two secondary characters whose disabilities become their strengths.
