tvN drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ starring Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young is drawing viewers ‘sympathy and immersion.

The May 31st broadcast of’ Unknown Seoul ‘depicted the story of twins Yu Mi-ji(played by Park Bo-young)and Yu Mi-rae(played by Park Bo-young)and Lee Ho-soo(played by Park Jin-young)and Han Se-jin(played by Ryu Kyung-soo)trying to open someone’s heart.

Accordingly, the 3rd episode recorded an average viewership rating of 5.4% for households in the metropolitan area(Nielsen Korea), a high of 6.3%, an average of 4.5% for households nationwide, and a high of 5.3%, ranking first in the same time slot among cable and comprehensive channels.

In terms of viewership ratings for the 2049 male and female demographic, which is tvN target demographic, it is also continuing its upward trend, taking first place in the same time slot among cable and general programming channels in the metropolitan area and first place among all channels including terrestrial channels nationwide.

Yumiji continued to pretend to be Yumi-rae and responded sharply to Lee Ho-su’s question, “Are you Yumi?” , which upset Lee Ho-su.

Yumi-ji, who saw the moment when the heart of the only person she had shared laughter and tears unknown to others with since her school days closed, regretted her words and had no choice but to follow Ho-su Lee with a bitter face.

In the midst of this, another variable in the twins ‘lives came when Park Ji-yoon(played by Yoo Yoo-jin), a high school classmate and self-proclaimed number one fan of Yumi-ji, appeared in front of Yumi-ji.Since she was a friend who had gone straight to Yumi-rae after quitting track and field due to an injury, Yumi-ji did not feel comfortable with Park Ji-yoon’s presence.

Because of this, Yumiji’s heart began to well up with inexplicable emotions as she saw Park Jiyoon trying to make time for Lee Hosoo alone.Since she was born, she had always tried to win someone’s heart, but even that wasn’t easy due to an unexpected injury, so Lee Hosoo was precious to Yumiji.Yumiji’s subtle smile towards Lee Hosoo, who was conflicted by Park Jiyoon’s proposal, made people laugh.
