Jang Young-nam and Kim Seon-yeong meet as enemies.

tvN new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ (written by Lee Kang/directed by Park Shin-woo), which will be first broadcast on the 24th(Sat)at 9:20 PM, is a romantic growth drama about twin sisters who are different in everything except their faces and find true love and life through a lie that switches their lives.

In the drama, Jang Young-nam plays the role of Kim Ok-hee, the fairy-like mother of twins Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae.Kim Ok-hee is an elementary school cafeteria cook with a strong will to survive who lost her husband at a young age and raised twin sisters on her own.While she is proud of her daughter Yu Mi-rae who has grown up well, she is always worried about and concerned about Yu Mi-ji who is always unemployed and stays in the village.Jang Young-nam’s transformation into the character of Kim Ok-hee, the fairy-like mother of twin sisters who is always tired, and Park Bo-young(as Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae)who will show realistic mother-daughter chemistry is drawing attention.

Kim Sun-young plays the role of Yeom Boon-hong, the vice principal of the elementary school where Kim Ok-hee(Jang Young-nam)works and the mother of Lee Ho-soo(Park Jin-young).After her husband passed away, Yeom Boon-hong has been relying on her son Lee Ho-soo.She is secretly upset that her son, who went to Seoul after entering college, is distancing himself from her, but she cannot express it and endures her loneliness.This makes us curious about the relationship between Yeom Boon-hong and Lee Ho-soo, the mother and son, that Kim Sun-young and Park Jin-young(as Lee Ho-soo)will portray.

Kim Ok-hee, the mother of twin sisters, and Yeom Boon-hong(played by Kim Sun-young), the mother of the sons, are the biggest enemies in Doson-ri in the past, but they are also close neighbors and share a strong bond.Although they seem to live completely opposite lives, they have many similarities and rely on each other more deeply than anyone else, and the friendship between the two mothers is expected to warm the hearts of viewers.

The seemingly similar yet different daily lives of Kim Ok-hee and Yeom Bun-hong can be seen in the released photos.Unlike Kim Ok-hee, who sits on the floor cooking while wearing a stretched-out T-shirt and training clothes, Yeom Bun-hong is seen wearing a pretty apron and preparing food at the table, creating a contrast.This makes the synergy that the two polar opposite friends will create even more anticipated.

The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, in which twin mother Jang Young-nam and son mother Kim Sun-young develop a special friendship, will premiere on Saturday, the 24th at 9:20 PM.
