Our Unwritten Seoul Review — A Warm, Healing K-Drama You Shouldn’t Miss

 

πŸ’– K-Drama Review: Our Unwritten Seoul — A Warm, Healing Series You’ll Love


μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”. I’m Hangeulia. ^-^


 Lately I started watching a K-drama called Our Unwritten Seoul 

— and by episode 5, λ‚˜ μš”μ¦˜ μ™„μ „ λΉ μ‘Œμ–΄! γ… _γ…  

(na yojeum wanjeon ppajyeosseo!) 

I've been so into it lately! 😭



Bright daytime view of Seoul from the Han River

The skyline of Seoul as seen from the river
— calm, vast, and quietly beautiful.




Have you seen Misaeng or My Mister?


These are some of my favorite K-dramas 

— all set in Seoul, and all filled with that quiet warmth that hugs your heart in the middle of busy city life.


Our Unwritten Seoul has that same vibe. 

If  you're into soft, emotional stories that quietly heal your heart, this one is μ™„μ „ κ°•μΆ”! (highly recommended!) You'll love this! 😊







πŸ’œ A Story of Two Sisters and One City


The story follows twin sisters, Mi-ji and Mi-rae 

— whose names literally mean “unknown” and “future.”


They decide to switch lives for a while, and through that journey, 

they come to realize

: What you see from where you stand isn’t the whole picture.


The drama gently explores themes of family, first love, and real friendship — not in a flashy or dramatic way, but in a gentle and comforting way that quietly heals your heart.

It’s the kind of drama that makes your heart feel soft and warm~ 😭







πŸ’œ Summer Nights and Seoul Lights


Right now, Korea is burning up with mudeowi (scorching heat), and the yeoldaeya (tropical nights) are no joke!

So lately I’ve been turning on the AC, grabbing a cold drink🧊, and watching one episode each night.


It’s become my little summer comfort routine~ πŸ˜Žγ…Žγ…Ž







πŸ’œ A Scene Full of Korean Emotion


Ramen cooked by the Han River, just like in the K-drama Our Unwritten Seoul

Hangang Ramyeon — it’s that warm, spicy bowl shared by Mi-ji and Ho-su. ^^



One of my favorite scenes is in episode 2 — Mi-ji and Ho-su sit by the Han River, 

eating Hangang ramyeon made fresh from an electronic ramyeon cooker.

That’s exactly the kind of ramyeon I always eat when I go to the Han River, so this scene felt extra special for me.

It’s way better than just regular cup noodles! ^^ I’ll tell you more about it in my next post~







πŸ’œ The Cast That Makes It All Work


Park Bo-young plays both Mi-ji and Mi-rae 

— and as always, she’s full of sincerity and charm.
Her performance is bright, vulnerable, and so believable.πŸ’“


And the male lead? It’s GOT7’s Jinyoung! (not JYPπŸ˜‰)
He’s completely different here 

— no flashy stage persona, just a soft-hearted, pure-souled character you can’t help falling for....😻







πŸ’œ Seoul, But With New Meaning



Han River at night, the filming spot from episode 2 of Our Unwritten Seoul

A glowing night by the Han River 
— the filming spot from episode 2 of Our Unwritten Seoul 



In Korean, Mi-rae (미래) means “future” and Mi-ji (미지) means “unknown.”
So the Korean title λ―Έμ§€μ˜ μ„œμšΈ means both “Seoul of the unknown” and “Mi-ji’s Seoul.”

Beautiful, isn’t it? The show isn’t just about Seoul as a place 

— it’s about Seoul as a personal, emotional journey.πŸ’•







πŸ’œ A Quote That Will Stay With You


One line from the drama really stuck with me:

 

μ–΄μ œλŠ” 끝났고, 내일은 λ©€μ—ˆκ³ , μ˜€λŠ˜μ€ 아직 λͺ¨λ₯Έλ‹€

 

Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come. Today is yet unknown.


It felt like the show was quietly reminding us:


Don’t get lost in the past. Don’t fear the future. Just live today — with courage.



If your heart feels heavy with old regrets or future worries, I hope this drama finds you.

It’ll wrap you up gently and whisper, “You’re doing just fine.” ^^



And..just a heads-up?

You might cry. Like the kind of quiet tears that come out of nowhere.

So yeah, keep a towel close — tissues won't be enough 😭





πŸ’œ OST Recommendation: Yuri Choi - λ…Έλž€ λ΄„ (Yellow Spring)


Also… if you’re the type who falls in love with OSTs, this one will melt you.

My favorite track from Our Unwritten Seoul is λ…Έλž€ λ΄„ (Yellow Spring) by 졜유리 (Yuri Choi).

Her voice is soft and a little wistful — it feels like someone gently calling out to you from a memory you didn’t know you missed.


This song first plays in the latter half of episode 2 

— during a flashback scene of Mi-ji and Ho-su. It's the moment that adds a soft, youthful glow to the story.


λ…Έλž€ λ΄„ literally means “Yellow Spring,” and it perfectly captures that feeling of a warm season that’s beautiful but somehow fleeting.

As the music plays, it feels like time slows down — like the world pauses just to remember a soft, golden moment.


(You can search it on YouTube or your favorite music app — trust me, you’ll wanna play it on loop ^^)







πŸ’œ Final Thoughts — Why You Should Watch This K-Drama


In short,
If you’re into emotional K-dramas like My Mister or Misaeng, Our Unwritten Seoul is a must-watch.
It’s set in Seoul, filled with healing moments that stay with you, and stars Park Bo-young and Jinyoung 

— a perfect duo to make your heart melt slowly, one episode at a time.


It's a story about people who seem fine...but deep down, they're not.

Maybe it's your story, too.πŸ’—





In my next post, I’ll take you into the Hangang ramyeon scene — and how you can experience it yourself in Seoul! ^^



With love,
Hangeulia😊
