The secrets in the hearts of Park Bo-young, Park Jin-young, and Ryu Kyung-soo are slowly revealed.

tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, which is cruising along while capturing both attention and viewership ratings, is raising expectations by revealing must-know viewing points ahead of its second act.

First, attention is focused on the future of twin sisters Yumi-ji(Park Bo-young)and Yumi-rae(Park Bo-young), who are about to end their secret promise.The life-changing secret promise that began with the younger sister Yumi-ji’s suggestion to save her older sister Yumi-rae who was driven to the edge of a cliff is having a huge impact on the lives of the twin sisters.

While changing their lives, Yumiji and Yumirae begin to narrow the gap between themselves as they gradually learn about each other’s worlds that they had grown apart from as adults.In particular, as they look deeply into their own inner selves that they had not known before and heal their own wounds, it becomes curious whether Yumiji and Yumirae’s secret promise can be kept until the end and what kind of results their life changes will bring to their lives.

In addition, attention is focused on the relationship between Lee Ho-soo(Park Jin-young)and Han Se-jin(Ryu Kyung-soo), who have close relationships with sisters Yumi-ji and Yumi-rae.Lee Ho-soo is currently hiding the fact that his high school classmate and first love Yumi-ji is living in Seoul pretending to be Yumi-rae.Lee Ho-soo’s pure love to protect the person he loves is making viewers ‘hearts flutter.

Also, Han Se-jin, the owner of the strawberry farm, gets caught up in an unexpected rumor while working with Yoo Mi-rae to grow strawberries.Yoo Mi-rae, who was caught up in an unpleasant scandal when she lived in Seoul, reacted with concern, but Han Se-jin surprised everyone with an unexpected confession, “I like it, but the rumors about the two of us.” The connection between the four people, which creates a subtle tension between healing and romance, is drawing attention.

Lastly, the secrets hidden in each character are endlessly stimulating the imagination.The fact that Kim Rosa(Won Mi-kyung), the owner of Rosa Restaurant and a poet, cannot read has surfaced, creating numerous questions.Above all, the appearance of Kim Rosa in the photo presented by lawyer Lee Chung-goo(Im Cheol-soo)is different from the face Yu Mi-ji knows, which arouses curiosity about the identity of Kim Rosa, the owner of Rosa Restaurant.

The diverse relationships, including the suspicious strawberry farm owner Han Se-jin’s past and the relationship between Kim Ok-hee(Jang Young-nam)and Yeom Boon-hong(Kim Sun-young), will add to the fun to watch.Writer Lee Kang, who was in charge of writing the script, said, “I hope you watch the latter half of the drama to see how the characters find their places, as each character’s hidden stories are revealed.”
