Park Bo-young lives for today in Our Unwritten Seoul
by tccolb
Thoughtful first posters and a video teaser have dropped for tvN’s upcoming Our Unwritten Seoul, where our twin Park Bo-youngs (Melo Movie) have us pondering with them on some life philosophy about living in the as-of-yet undetermined here and now.
It’s thus another new but ordinary day when the teaser begins, drawing back the curtains to let in the risen sun and Goldilocks Yoo Mi-ji (Park Bo-young) is sleepily roused from her bed. In voiceover, the former athlete and free-spirited Mi-ji tells us that, “Yesterday has ended,” before heading to work. And elsewhere, off in the big city, we similarly see her twin Yoo Mi-rae (also Park Bo-young) in her usual morning routine, tussling through the busy commute to arrive for her shift at the office.
However, despite being the brainy perfectionist of the two, working day-to-day in corporate isn’t exactly easy and the sequence takes us through the many obstacles faced by Mi-rae on the job. All this is also just one day’s worth of stress, as we learn through the voiceover that, “Tomorrow is still far away.” Mi-rae then uses this as motivation to persevere ahead as the teaser closes, encouraging herself optimistically that she can make it happen today because the day is not over yet.
Although it’s not explained here how it’ll play into the story, we’ve been told in previous promos that Mi-ji and Mi-rae will start a lie at some point by switching lives. But that path will help them realize new truths, spurring growth while also getting entangled in romance – presumably with our male leads, Got7’s Jinyoung (The Witch) and Ryu Kyung-soo (The Bequeathed).
With production led by PD Park Shin-woo (When the Stars Gossip, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) and writer Lee Kang (Youth of May), the series is slated to premiere on May 24, following Resident Playbook in the weekend slot.
