Won Mi-kyung, Jang Young-nam, Kim Seon-yeong, and Cha Mi-kyung are very active as the ‘tear button’.

In tvN weekend drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo, and Nam Geon), the presence of Kim Ro-sa(played by Won Mi-kyung), Kim Ok-hee(played by Jang Young-nam), Yeom Boon-hong(played by Kim Sun-young), and Kang Wol-soon(played by Cha Mi-kyung)has a huge impact on the lives of twin sisters Yoo Mi-ji(played by Park Bo-young), Yoo Mi-rae(played by Park Bo-young), and Lee Ho-soo(played by Park Jin-young).

First, Kim Rosa, the building owner of Rosa Restaurant, whom Yumiji met while pretending to be Yumi Rae and working at a company, is capturing the attention of viewers with her unexpected side hidden behind her rough exterior.Unlike her tiger-like face that doesn’t give in easily, she keeps Yumiji’s secrets and reaches out to Lee Ho-soo as a friendly hand as if she were her own grandmother, creating deep chemistry(or chemistry, abbreviated as chemistry)that warms hearts.

Meanwhile, Kim Ok-hee, the mother of twin sisters, is raising twin sisters who are identical except for their faces but different in everything else, and while doing so, she is making Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae feel sorry for each other with subtle and minor differences.However, Kim Ok-hee’s appearance of worrying that her daughters, who have barely overcome their pain, will return to the darkness again makes us guess at her unique maternal love for both of her daughters.


On the other hand, Yeom Boon-hong, Lee Ho-soo’s mother, feels a strange distance from her son whom she raised alone after her husband passed away.She feels resentful towards Lee Ho-soo, who became awkward with her after he went to Seoul for college, but she is unable to express it and is enduring her loneliness alone.Nevertheless, Yeom Boon-hong’s maternal love, who is always busy bragging about her son, adds warmth to the play.

In addition, grandmother Kang Wol-soon, the spiritual support of Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae, brings tears to everyone’s eyes in every episode with her utmost affection and warm comfort for her granddaughter.The words she said to get her granddaughter out of the darkness and to comfort her, who was tired of living in Seoul, deeply touched the hearts of viewers and created a famous scene that they would want to see again.

In this way, Kim Ro-sa, Kim Ok-hee, Yeom Bun-hong, and Kang Wol-soon in ‘Unknown Seoul’ are forming deep relationships with sisters Yu Mi-ji, Yu Mi-rae, and Lee Ho-soo, and are conveying all the joys and sorrows of life.In particular, Won Mi-kyung, Jang Young-nam, Kim Sun-young, and Cha Mi-kyung doubled the immersion by holding the center of the play with their deep composure.

Thanks to the passionate performances of the actors we trust and watch, episode 7 of ‘Unknown Seoul’ will air at 9:20 PM on the 14th.
