Park Jin-young met viewers through the Channel A drama ‘The Witch’ early this year after his discharge, but ‘Unknown Seoul’ was his first time actually filming.Regarding this, Park Jin-young expressed his joy by saying, “I was so happy to go to the filming set after my discharge.I was happy to be able to do what I used to do.I went deeper.The writing was good and the teamwork on set was good, so I was able to adapt quickly.I was able to fully return to society after just one or two rounds.”

While introducing the character, he said, “Since Ho-soo has a disability, I tried to find a middle ground by talking to the director about the differences in degree.I put a lot of thought into the parts that require physical use.”

‘Unknown Seoul’ (written by Lee Kang/directed by Park Shin-woo)is a romantic growth drama about twin sisters who are different in every way except for their faces, and who find true love and life through a lie that swaps their lives.

Park Bo-young plays four characters: twin sisters Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae, and Yumi-ji pretending to be Yumi-rae and Yumi-rae pretending to be Yumi-ji.The younger sister Yumi-ji is the neighborhood energizer with a strong body and mind, strong will to survive, and an optimistic and cheerful personality.She was noticed as a sprinter due to a talent she discovered by chance during her school days, but an unexpected accident forced her to give up her dream and live a life of short-term contract work.The older sister Yumi-rae is a perfectionist who works at a public corporation’s planning and strategy team.She is a self-proclaimed “mother’s friend’s daughter” who has walked only the path of the elite both during her school days and at work, and has been living in Seoul since getting a job.

Park Jin-young plays Lee Ho-soo, an ace lawyer at a large law firm with both a tall appearance and ability.Lee Ho-soo is a person with a good personality and a seriousness and firmness that does not speak lightly about others.On the outside, he seems like a person with no flaws and everything, but if you look closely, he is a person who fights fiercely every day for an ordinary life.

Ryu Kyung-soo plays Han Se-jin, the owner of the Doson-ri Changhwa Farm.Han Se-jin is a returning farmer who suddenly came down to Doson-ri two years ago and started strawberry farming.Due to some circumstances, he gave up his entire career and is now devoted to strawberry farming.

In the drama, twin sisters Yumi-ji(Park Bo-young)and Yumi-rae(Park Bo-young)begin a secret promise to change their lives for each other, who were their other halves.While living each other’s lives, Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae meet Lee Ho-soo(Park Jin-young), their high school classmate and first love, and Han Se-jin(Ryu Kyung-soo), a rookie farm owner, and form a complicated relationship.
