Blonde and Bold: Park Bo-young Tackles 4 Roles in Her New K-Drama, Coming Soon

Park Bo-young is pushing the boundaries of transformation once again. On April 15, tvN released first-look stills of the actress in its upcoming weekend drama 'UNknown SEOUL', set to premiere on May 24 following the conclusion of 'Resident Playbook.'

Written by Lee Kang and directed by Park Shin-woo, UNknown SEOUL is a romantic coming-of-age drama that tells the story of identical twin sisters who swap lives in a twist of fate — and in doing so, begin to discover what true love and real life mean for each of them.

👭 1 Face, 4 Lives — Park Bo-young’s Most Ambitious Role Yet

Park will take on dual roles as twin sisters Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae, who may share the same face but live completely different lives. Mi-ji is a former track-and-field prodigy enjoying a carefree post-glory life, while Mi-rae is an elite civil servant climbing the ladder in a public enterprise.

Due to an undisclosed incident, the sisters switch lives — leading to moments where Mi-ji pretends to be Mi-rae and vice versa. This results in Park portraying four different layers of identity, making it her most dynamic performance to date.

The newly released stills capture Mi-ji's vibrant daily life. From running errands around the neighborhood to solving problems with a smile, her sunny personality brings warmth to the screen. Park Bo-young sports a short bob haircut, perfectly suited to the down-to-earth charm of Mi-ji, and her fresh look is already turning heads.

Known for her emotional depth and delicate acting, Park is expected to deliver both comfort and empathy as she navigates the emotional hurdles and turning points of both characters’ lives.

Opposite Her: Park Jin-young as the Leading Man

Joining Park in the series is Park Jin-young, who plays Lee Ho-soo, a sharp and principled lawyer at a major law firm. As the story unfolds, audiences are left wondering — will his heart be swayed by Mi-ji or Mi-rae?

The drama blends identity play, emotional growth, and romance into a single narrative, promising laughter, tears, and heart-fluttering moments. With Park Bo-young at the center of a dual role and an intriguing love triangle on the horizon, UNknown SEOUL is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of Spring 2025.
