Park Bo-young, Park Jin-young, and Ryu Kyung-soo were very satisfied with their chemistry in tvN new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’.

On the 21st, a preview screening and press conference for episodes 1 and 2 of the new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ was held to commemorate the first broadcast.Director Park Shin-woo, as well as actors Park Bo-young, Park Jin-young, and Ryu Kyung-soo, attended the event.

Park Bo-young expressed her satisfaction, saying, “I think of Ho-su as Mi-ji and Se-jin as Mirae, so it was neatly organized.The two of them have such different charms, and working with these two actors at the same time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.I enjoyed the situation.It felt new every time we met.” She added specifically, “He felt like a friend who was calm and deep by my side, like Park Jin-young’s Lee Ho-su.He was the kind of friend who would stand in the rain with me.Se-jin was the kind of chemistry that made me feel like we would throw down our umbrellas and play in the water together.”

Park Jin-young responded, “(The chemistry with Park Bo-young)was really good.I served in the military, so I pretended not to be nervous on the outside, but I was really nervous on the inside.As I continued to film with actress Park Bo-young, she kept showing me that I didn’t have to be nervous.Actress Park Bo-young herself is as harmless as ‘Unknown Seoul.’ Just watching her act, I was able to match my chemistry and follow along.”

Ryu Kyung-soo also praised, saying, “In the case of Pobbly, it’s like a wide ocean with gentle waves.I wanted to go out to the open sea, but it felt like they were naturally taking me on a tube.” Park Jin-young added, “I should take note of it.That’s such a great expression.”

‘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.
