A brand new romance K-Drama is making waves online even though it just premiered!
Our Unwritten Seoul — starring Park Bo Young, Park Jin Young, and Ryu Kyung Soo — premiered on May 24, 2025, and is already hailed as a must-watch weekend K-Drama.
Airing every Saturday and Sunday on tvN and available globally on Netflix, the series follows the lives of twin sisters with completely different personalities who swap lives under mysterious circumstances and end up living entirely new realities built on a lie.
Despite only two episodes being released, Our Unwritten Seoul has already gained considerable attention on Korean online communities. A recent viral post on TheQoo highlighted just how positively viewers are responding.
Contrary to early expectations based on its moody posters, fans were surprised to find that the drama has a bright tone, a healing message, and even light comedy.
A lot of people expected it to be a quiet, somber series based on the poster, but it’s nothing like that. It’s actually a heartwarming coming-of-age story with a bright tone and even some comedy. The writer, director, and cast are all amazing, and it’s seriously so good! The dialogue in particular is really beautiful—realistic and super relatable, which makes it even better. You have to give it a try!
