The worst crisis has struck twin sisters Park Bo-young.

In episode 8 of tvN weekend drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ (written by Lee Kang/directed by Park Shin-woo and Nam Geon)aired on the 15th, the tension and unease heightened as the accuser Park Sang-young(played by Nam Yoon-ho), who looks exactly like their dead father, appeared in front of sisters Yu Mi-ji(played by Park Bo-young)and Yu Mi-rae(played by Park Bo-young).

The 8th episode’s viewership ratings not only broke its own record once again, recording an average of 8.3% in the metropolitan area, a peak of 9.2%, and an average of 7.4% nationwide, a peak of 8.2%, but also took first place in the same time slot on cable and comprehensive channels.In terms of viewership ratings for tvN target demographic of men and women in their 20s and 40s, it also recorded an average of 3.2% in the metropolitan area, a peak of 3.4%, and an average of 3.4% nationwide, a peak of 3.8%, taking first place in the same time slot on all channels, including terrestrial channels.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / Provided by Nielsen Korea)

Yumiji and Yumi-rae, who had decided to return to their respective positions soon after completing their life changes, began to clean up the things they had done in Seoul and Duson-ri, respectively.Yumiji was also about to say that she would step down from the new building project when she saw Park Sang-young’s face as he entered the office and froze.This was because his face was so similar to that of the twins Yumiji and Yumi-rae’s father.

Only then did Yumi-ji realize what Yumi-rae meant when she asked herself, “What would you do if you met someone who looked exactly like your father?” and had to leave quickly.Contrary to her determination to punish the person who had tormented her half of her life, Yumi-ji, who had forgotten her father and was overcome by longing, cried without saying a word, causing pity.

Yumiji, who relied on her father more than anyone else during her childhood, guessed that Yumi-rae would have been shaken by Park Sang-young just like her.She felt resentment and sorry for her older sister who suffered alone and was driven to the edge of a cliff, unable to tell the truth even to herself, the only person who shared her memories of her father.The twin sisters, who could understand each other’s feelings better than anyone else, hid it and eventually burst into tears, making even the viewers weep.

At the same time, Park Sang-young, who was handed over the new building project, expressed his doubts when Director Choi Tae-kwan(played by Jeong Seung-gil)and Team Leader Shin Kyeong-min(played by Lee Si-hoon)told him that Yoo Mi-rae was not the same as before.Park Sang-young, who had heard from Yoo Mi-rae in the past that she had an identical twin, heightened his anxiety by speculating that the person pretending to be Yoo Mi-rae at work was a twin.

If this is true, it is expected that not only Yu Mi-rae but also Yu Mi-ji will not be safe, and Choi Tae-kwan and Shin Kyung-min, who were planning to send Yu Mi-rae away, took advantage of this and set a trap, making viewers anxious.Amidst Choi Tae-kwan and Shin Kyung-min’s fierce gazes, curiosity is growing about how Yu Mi-ji, who is being tested, will deal with this situation.

Meanwhile, Yumi Ji and Hosoo Lee entered full-fledged dating mode, giving us excitement.They became a closer couple, sharing everything from the Seoul date they had dreamed of since high school to their weaknesses that they had always been busy hiding.

Along with this, it was revealed that Lee Ho-soo and Yeom Boon-hong(played by Kim Sun-young)were not actually biological mother and son, which surprised everyone.Yeom Boon-hong, who had a son after marrying Lee Ho-soo’s father, loved and cared for Lee Ho-soo as if he were her own son, even though he had a hard time with her.Kim Ok-hee(played by Jang Young-nam)’s crude but sincere support after finding out her friend’s secret touched hearts.

As the end of the twin sisters ‘secret promise approaches, the characters’ secrets are gradually being revealed.Episode 9 of tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ will air on Saturday the 21st at 9:20 PM.
