Park Bo Young is officially back and better than ever—with twice the screen time and double the impact. Her latest drama, ‘Our Unwritten Seoul,’ has just hit No. 3 on Netflix’s global non-English TV series chart, drawing international buzz and praise.

According to Netflix’s Global Top 10 ranking (for May 26–June 1), the tvN drama racked up 2.8 million views and a whopping 14.7 million hours of watch time, placing it just behind a couple of global heavyweights. It’s the latest sign that Korean dramas with heart, twisty plots, and powerhouse leads continue to dominate global screens.

What’s it about? 'Our Unwritten Seoul' is a coming-of-age romantic drama with a dramatic twist: twin sisters who trade identities and end up rewriting each other’s destinies. Park Bo Young tackles the dual roles of Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae—two lookalikes with totally different personalities. One is fierce and sharp-tongued, the other gentle and reserved. And when they begin living each other’s lives? Secrets, romance, and self-discovery follow in a story packed with emotional highs and identity-swapping chaos.

Critics are already calling it one of Park Bo Young’s best performances to date. Variety applauded her ability to deliver “four distinct personas” as she seamlessly shifts between each sister and the characters they pretend to be. Forbes noted her “compelling and convincing” portrayal, and the South China Morning Post highlighted her skill in showing the “pain and resilience” behind each character’s facade.

Fans agree. The show is currently rated 8.5 on IMDb, with some episodes hitting a near-perfect 9.7. Over in Japan, Filmarks users have given it 4.4 out of 5 stars, praising its emotional storytelling and Park’s captivating performance.

With just a few episodes out and more twists to come, it looks like ‘Our Unwritten Seoul’ is only getting started. If you're into stories of mistaken identity, sisterhood, and finding yourself in someone else’s shoes—with a splash of swoon-worthy romance—you'll want to hit play ASAP.
