In recent broadcasts, the unknown and future narratives that stopped in front of their respective choices were drawn. Miji hinted at a change in her emotions by gradually narrowing her distance from her relationship with Lake (Park Jin-young). Park Bo-young delicately expressed the character's hesitation and emotional determination by utilizing subtle details such as the speed and spacing of words and the shaking of her eyes. In particular, in the early morning terminal scene, Park Bo-young's unique 'restrained concentration' was revealed by expressing the conversion of the emotional line with a short but firm response to the lake's confession.

On the other hand, Mirae showed a scene where she looked back on the place and direction of her life through a reunion with Se-jin (Ryu Kyung-soo). Rather than directly revealing future emotions, Park Bo-young embodied the inner conflict of the character in three dimensions through static movements and density of dialogue. Especially looking at the stars. "If you met me on the way to and from work, you would have been one of those starsIn the line ", the inner side of the character is expressed in a calm tone.

Park Bo-young clearly separated the two characters, unknown and future, from all expressions, including language, speech, and reaction speed. It clearly distinguishes without unnecessary excessive emotions within the set character structure, and completes a rhythmic performance so that the audience can naturally distinguish the two characters.




In particular, it excluded exaggerated devices in emotional acting and elaborately organized the emotional gap between characters while maintaining a constant overall tone of the play. As a result, the flow of the play became more flexible, and the emotional trajectory of each unknown and future impressed the viewers.

Through this work, Park Bo-young proves her unwavering concentration even in a complex narrative. As the "Unknown Seoul" moves toward the second half, expectations are rising for what the emotional changes of the two characters will bring.

Meanwhile, 「Unknown Seoul" starring Park Bo-young airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m. on tvN.
