Thanks to the enthusiastic response, the ‘Unknown Seoul’ team has compiled a list of famous lines that people want to hear again.

● Yumi Ji(Park Bo-young)”Yesterday is over, tomorrow is far away, and today is still unknown.”

In the drama, Yumi-ji, a former track and field hopeful, falls into deep despair after being injured in an unexpected accident and quickly descending from her dream track.Yumi-ji is afraid of going out into the world again, and her grandmother Kang Wol-soon(played by Cha Mi-kyung)consoles her wounded heart by saying, “Yesterday is over, tomorrow is far away, and today is still unknown,” and “Let’s live today.”

Yumiji, who was finally able to stand up again thanks to her grandmother’s words, went out the door that had locked her up every morning with the order, “Yesterday is over, tomorrow is far away, and today is still unknown.Let’s go.” This line, which brought Yumiji, who was trapped in the darkness, back into the light, moved and conveyed encouragement to everyone who is facing today for the first time after overcoming the difficult past.

● Lee Ho-su(played by Park Jin-young)”There’s a reason to hide something.There’s also a reason to dig it up.”

Lee Ho-soo, who had to endure lifelong scars after a car accident as a child, has overcome the past where he spent his days trying to hide his weaknesses and is now living with a firm center.Lee Ho-soo’s seriousness in not easily revealing a secret that someone doesn’t want to reveal has protected the secrets of his first love Yu Mi-ji, his classmate Song Kyung-goo(played by Moon Dong-hyuk), and even the secrets of the building owner of Rosa Restaurant, Kim Ro-sa(played by Won Mi-kyung).

Lee Ho-soo then drew a line to Yumi-ji, who was trying to uncover Kim Ro-sa’s secret, by saying, “There’s a reason when you hide something.You need a reason when you dig it up, too.” Lee Ho-soo’s words, which relieved Yumi-ji’s burden by saying, “Do it when you feel better,” when she was trying to reveal her secret with difficulty, simultaneously conveyed excitement and comfort to those who live with secrets that cannot be told in their hearts.

● Han Se-jin(Ryu Kyung-soo), “I’ll grab onto anything good, happy, or enjoyable.”

Han Se-jin gave up his successful career as an asset manager after the death of his grandfather, his only blood relative, and came down to Duson-ri to farm on his own.Yoo Mi-rae(Park Bo-young), who runs a strawberry farm with Han Se-jin, is considering quitting her job due to bullying at work.

Here, Han Se-jin cheered on Yu Mi-rae’s choice by saying, “Catch hold of something good, something happy, something enjoyable,” comparing it to his own situation of regretting the loss of someone precious to him.Rather than struggling to protect everything he has built and suffering, he gave her the courage to make a decision that is at least a little bit better for herself.Han Se-jin’s realistic consolation that holding on isn’t everything left a deep impression.

tvN weekend drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, which is responsible for healing everyone every weekend night with various stories about life such as the will to live today, the heart to be considerate of others, and ways to look forward to tomorrow, will air its 9th episode on Saturday, the 21st at 9:20 PM.
