tvN new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, Park Jin-young and Ryu Kyung-soo form a playful bromance.
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 Jin-young and Ryu Kyung-soo seemed to be forming a subtle male-male chemistry outside of the filming set.Regarding this, Park Jin-young said on this day, “I would have liked to meet actor Ryu Kyung-soo, who plays Se-jin, a lot in the project, but I didn’t get to meet him as much as I wanted.It’s a shame, but we became close through the promotional period,” and “If the opportunity arises, I have a brother I want to meet again in another project.”
Ryu Kyung-soo responded, “In the case of actor Park Jin-young, if I had a daughter, I would want to have her as my son-in-law,” and Park Jin-young made everyone laugh by jokingly calling him “father-in-law.” Ryu Kyung-soo recalled, “Actor Park Jin-young set up a time for me before our first shoot, even though it might have been awkward.Thanks to that, we were able to get closer before we started filming, so I was grateful.”
Park Jin-young said, “I was grateful to actress Park Bo-young at that time.I made the seat, but actress Park Bo-young paid the bill.I’ll make another seat next time.”
‘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.
