Park Bo-young, the self-portrait of youth..For the first time since our debut, we won the top spot in Seoul



Park Bo-young is performing a break-down acting skills show as twin sisters in Unknown Seoul.

Park Bo-young, who plays twin sisters Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『Unknown Seoul" (directed by Lee Kang-script, Park Shin-woo and Nam Gun), is driving viewership and buzz with delicate details and explosive emotional performances.

Park Bo-young (played by Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae), who played a total of four faces with "Unknown Seoul", and Yoo Mi-ji pretending to be Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae pretending to be Yoo Mi-ji, raised expectations for a multi-person role by giving detailed acting points from styling to the difference in acting tone and balance after life change through a production presentation..




While Park Bo-young's one-man multi-role challenge has finally been unveiled through her first broadcast on the 24th, favorable reviews are pouring into the community for Park Bo-young, who perfectly digested two characters, Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae. "I forgot if it was a two-person role." You look like a completely different person", "Even though they're the same actors, they feel so different." Viewers responded enthusiastically.

Thanks to this, in the 4th week of May 2025 TV-OTT drama popularity ranking released by Fundex of Good Data Cooperation, a K-content competitiveness analysis agency, Unknown Seoul ranked third in the first week of the broadcast, and Park Bo-young not only ranked first in the popularity of drama actors, but also ranked Park Jin-young (played by Lee Ho-ho), becoming a popular drama. In addition, the ratings are also on a huge rise, breaking their own highest ratings in two episodes.

Among them, Park Bo-young's tearful performance stood out in the scene where Yu Mi-ji grabbed her sister Yoo Mi-rae, who was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and cried, saying, "How can I let go of your hand?" The repressed cries of Yu Mi-ji, who sobbed with a mixture of sadness, anger, worry and surprise in her sister's arms, and Yoo Mi-rae, who comforted her younger sister, made even the viewers cry.




At the same time, Park Bo-young's performance of Yoo Mi-rae, who pretends to be Yoo Mi-ji, and Yoo Mi-ji, who pretends to be Yoo Mi-ji, caused admiration after the twin sisters changed their lives in earnest. Yoo Mi-ji's cute appearance, which keeps popping up in front of her first love Lee Ho (Park Jin-young), and Yoo Mi-rae's dry atmosphere, which cannot be covered even with a cute bob, caught the eye.

As such, Park Bo-young freely crosses the extremes of the twin sisters and holds the center of 'Unknown Seoul'. As the adaptation period of Seoul and Duson-ri has begun in earnest, we are looking forward to seeing whether the twin sisters' secret promises can be kept until the end, and Park Bo-young, who will portray the story of sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae, is performing.

tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『Unknown Seoul" will air the third episode at 9:20 p.m. on the 31st, when twin sisters Park Bo-young will continue to adapt to life change between Seoul and Duson-ri.
