Belonging to the romance genre, the film "A Seoul unknown" tells the story of twin sisters Yoo Mi Rae and Yoo Mi Ji (Park Bo Young plays 2 roles).
Although they have similar appearances, they have completely different lives. After Mi Rae's sister went through many difficulties at the company and was isolated by her colleagues, Mi Ji decided to switch identities with her.
During this process, the two began a journey to discover love and the true meaning of life.
The movie "A Seoul unknown" has currently aired 2 episodes, with viewership ratings of 3.6% and 5.1%, respectively. Although this is not a very high achievement, the film is receiving many positive responses about its direction, storytelling, dialogue, and acting.
In particular, Park Bo Young's impressive transformation was given many "winged" words by the media.
According to Wikitree, the actress's performance of 4 roles - 2 twin sisters, and each sister playing the other is a highlight, a challenge, but also brings the audience an "acting party".
Not only helping viewers distinguish a quiet, serious, profound Mi Rae, and a bright, lively and enthusiastic Mi Ji, through dialogue, expressions, and body language, Park Bo Young also cleverly brings a different look to the character he plays.
The Korea Times reviewed that Park Bo Young's acting is both sophisticated and deep in emotions, demonstrating her maturity as an actress.
Previously, sharing about the film, the Korean star said that as soon as she read the script, she knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As soon as I read the line: I will live like you, and you will live like me, I knew I had to participate in this film. Because if it weren't for now, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity again."
Although currently, Park Bo Young is attracting attention when transforming into two twin sisters with different personalities. However, this will still be a challenging role for the actress, when they have to show "both fake and real" when they change roles with each other.
Especially at the end of episode 2, his close friend Lee Ho Su (Jin Young) recognized Mi Ji's true identity. In addition, the relationship between Mi Rae and Han Se Jin (Ryu Kyung Soo) at work also promises to bring many interesting things.
The media hopes that "A Seoul unknown" will maintain its form in storytelling and acting to be able to bring viewers a quiet work that is still able to "heal" those who have been struggling between pressure, dreams, identity and unnamed options.
