Our Unwritten Seoul – K-drama Episode 6 Recap & Review
The Silent, Ever-Present Fool
Episode 6 of Our Unwritten Seoul begins with Mi-ji's confession that she likes Ho-su. Of course, he's still under the impression that this is Mi-rae. However, her drunken antics come back to bite her in the morning when she realizes her memory has big gaps and she wakes up at Ho-su's place. Although she tries to explain herself, apparently Ho-su has already sorted things out, which only causes her to spiral even more!
Mi-ji shows up at work late, where Tae-i has already got her some hangover cure medicine. It's a nice gesture, especially after their chat at the bar the previous night.
When Mi-ji leaves, Ho-su finds himself pursued by Ji-yun, who brings him out to a restaurant. He continues to snap photos of her and tries to make future plans but he's very clearly not interested in her romantically. Still, that doesn't stop Ji-yun, who even tells Mi-ji (as Mi-rae) that she's 'got dibs' on him.
Before all of this though, the Director brings Mi-ji along for the landowner meeting with Gyeong-min. The idiot manager fumbles his words and struggles to hold his own. Mi-ji effortlessly steps up and usurps Gyeong-min though, leaving him with egg on his face. Given how hard she worked on the project, and despite Gyeong-min chewing her out, all of this has helped her shine in the meeting.
The misunderstanding trope continues here though after work, when Ji-yun stops by with Ho-su to drop off her bag. Mi-ji is still mulling over what happened that night but through flashbacks, we see that it's a simple case of her falling asleep on his shoulder and him taking her back to his place. There is slightly more to it but we'll wait until the end of the episode for that!
Meanwhile, Mi-rae decides to hang in bed after quitting her job at the strawberry farm. Everybody is noticing her downcast behaviour, and both her mother and Gyeong-gu struggle to get through to her.
Mi-rae is shying away from the rumours about Se-jin and her dating him, which is partly why she's quit. She's also worried and feeling anxious, which is something she relays to Mi-ji later on when they talk on the phone.
In fact, Mi-rae wants to switch back the next week, which catches Mi-ji off-guard. Some of this stems from her work project with the returning Park heading back to the office. Now, it would appear something has happened between them but we don't know what just yet.
Instead, Mi-ji is thrown into the fire when Lee Chung-gu arrives wanting to discuss Ro-sa and the HQ Project. He hands over a confidential file, explaining how they're building an LRT station at the new HQ site. This is a big project but she's sworn to secrecy, which only makes things more awkward – especially with the switch-back occurring soon and her own moral compass swaying toward telling Ro-sa the truth.
Her inner-turmoil is only made worse when she finds out Ho-su and Ji-yun are going to the wedding that weekend together. Seung-hyeon rings and suggests they go too, and she reluctantly agrees. Ho-su rings though and asks to meet, given he's found her watch that she left at his the previous night.
As they sit and talk, Mi-ji discusses the dilemma regarding Ro-sa's building and the confidential planning looking to take place. Ho-su encourages her to drop it when she brings it up, reiterating that she could get in massive trouble and he needs to keep her mouth shut.
At work, Mi-ji is awkward and even more so when she believes Ro-sa might be keeping secrets too about her university days. For now, she plays dumb with Chung-gu but this is definitely going to come up in the episodes ahead!
Speaking of secrets, the wedding goes ahead and all the guests attend… but there's a problem. No only has Mi-ji been invited, but so too has Mi-rae. And it's here where secrets are revealed. When Gyung-gu 'kidnaps' Mi-rae to get her to tag along, he mentions how he's got them a hotel room together. Mi-rae is livid and points out their boundaries and how it's not right. Of course, Mi-rae is unaware that Gyung-gu is gay, which spills out in dramatic fashion.
Not only has Mi-ji known about Gyung-gu's sexuality, but so too has Ho-su. Back in school, Seung-hyeon convinced Gyeong-gu to give a public confession about his feelings to Mi-ji but Ho-su told him not to. Gyeong-gu didn't listen and instead, Seung-hyeon recorded the whole thing so he could make fun of him and get a kick out of the snubbed proposal. Ho-su, ever the loyal man, beat Seung-hyeon down in the classroom.
Back at the wedding, Seung-hyeon talks smack about Gyeong-gu and Mi-ji at the table, eventually leading to our titular character leaving the wedding and ringing Ho-su. Funnily enough, when Ji-yun tries to stop him, bringing up how the twins have switched, he shrugs it off and tells her he already knows.
Turns out, that drunken night at his place, Mi-ji answered Ho-su with her own name, which explains why he 'figured it out'. Mi-ji has always liked him and his foolish side, and its taken until now to figure that out.
While they head home together, Mi-rae goes back to the strawberry farm, where Se-jin is struggling in the rain. We heard about the bad weather earlier in the episode, and she encourages him to head inside with her. He warns that them staying the night together is only going to fuel the rumours between them, but Mi-rae admits this is the only place for her that feels real, at least to her.
Se-jin admits he likes the rumours between them, which is as good as a love confession I guess! As they stare at one another, the episode comes to a close.
The Episode Review
So this week's double bill of Our Unwritten Seoul comes to a close with a movement with both Mi-rae and Mi-ji's romantic endeavours. The swapping lives has been eye-opening for them both, better understanding what the other twin has been through and how difficult their lives are.
The toxic work situation that Mi-ji has been thrown into looks like it could get a whole lot worse with this Park character returning, while Mi-rae has felt a bit directionless until she's met Se-jin.
The idea of healing, growing and learning by switching lives with someone whom you believe has it better than you (and then eating humble pie when you realize their life is just as hard) is nicely realized and one of the stronger components of this show.
The twins have been misunderstood their entire life and the fact their own mother can't tell them apart, but their grandmother can, from one single look at both Mi-ji and Mi-rae speaks volumes.
Park Bo-young deserves a lot of credit here too because even without the hairstyles, the way she plays both Mi-ji and Mi-rae is instantly recognizable and distinguishable.
This is definitely shaping up to be one of the stronger dramas this year and the chemistry between the two love interests is palpable. Roll on the next episode!

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Movie Review – A funny and energetic animated musical for everyone
A funny and energetic animated musical for everyone In KPop Demon Hunters, the latest Netflix original animation, demons invade our world to eat our souls, and our only salvation is girl groups! A trio of girls has to fight the creatures with songs, strengthening the barrier that protects Earth from the beasts. After a long time, Mira, Zoey, and their leader, Rumi, can finally complete this barrier, bringing peace to their world. If this sounds too serious, don't worry, as the movie perfectly balances its drama and cartoonishness. You can see that by the main antagonist, a demonic, evil boy band stealing their fans. However, they have one more problem: Rumi is half-demon, but none of the other girls know. That adds intensity to her, as strengthening the barrier isn't only a duty to the girl but a necessity. At the same time, it highlights her sacrifices. That part of her presents itself through marks on her body, meaning she has to give up on a few things. Skipping going to public baths with her friends or never being truly comfortable around them is a bigger and more relatable loss than the end of the world. Someone must give this movie an award for its soundtrack because every song here is a banger. From 'How it's Done' to Twice's 'Takedown,' all of them intensify the moment they're played in. So, 'Golden,' an inspirational song about fulfilling their dreams, becomes ten times more heartbreaking when we find out Rumi's secret. Their work on 'Golden' is astounding, as they even have an MV that feels like an actual official music video. Netflix would be crazy if they didn't release that on YouTube. The fight scenes are incredibly well-animated and fluid, but they pop even harder with the right soundtrack. It's hard to stay still in your chair watching them when you feel you're in the girl's latest show at all times. However, one song choice is a fatal mistake, and right at the end of the movie. In the final battle, 'What It Sounds Like' fails to match the epic atmosphere of the confrontation. Even though its lyrics are great, encapsulating Rumi's journey, its rhythm isn't as energetic as necessary. The song is good, but it doesn't hold a candle to the others, and it comes at the wrong time. But that's only a small part of the film's biggest problem. Throughout the story, we follow Rumi as she loses her connection with her friends and gets closer to the leader of the demonic boy band. But when that development reaches the climactic point, the next thing we know, it's all solved. We're left with a hollow, rushed ending, stripped of almost all emotions. It's a shame because KPop Demon Hunters could have been even greater with 10 more minutes or so. Rumi's demonic side is a smart detail, so seeing her deal with it properly would elevate the story. We get to see her talk about it with her mentor, the only other person who knows her secret, but it's only a fast interaction. Still, there's one thing that works incredibly well even in the ending, and that is the animation. It's simply stunning. The lights and colors fit that world so much that it's hard to imagine the movie with a different aesthetic. Beyond that, it's very creative. Like the Teen Titans cartoon did back in the 2000s, it emulates Far East anime aesthetics without abandoning its own style. The crazy visuals and expressions will get you laughing out loud when you least expect it. And sometimes, when you fully expect it, too. The K-pop culture is in full play in the movie. We see signing events, ships, boy bands participating in weird TV programs to showcase their songs, and so on. The first contact we have with the main girls is through their fans saying what they love about each of them. And the funniest joke of them all is when the movie satirizes the 'meet-cute,' so popular in K-dramas, between Rumi and another singer. But that goes deeper into the movie's message. Rumi also has a troubled relationship with her demonic side because she must present herself perfectly at all times. She has been taught that if she shows any kind of flaw, it's all done for her. That definitely hits close to home for K-pop idols, as they have to do the same to please their fans. In an industry that puts them on extremely high pedestals, minor and humane flaws can spark giant backlashes online. Fans might love you now but hate you the next day because of your appearance, dating choices, and even acting 'too normally.' One such example is when rumors about BTS' Jungkook dating sparked hashtags saying he betrayed the fans. In a way, Rumi's dilemma criticizes this idealized view of artists that the industry and the fans create. KPop Demon Hunters is both ridiculous and as deep as it needs to be. Despite its short runtime damaging the conclusion, it's still one of the best-animated flicks of 2025 so far. The fun characters and animation won't leave your head so soon. And neither will its songs leave your playlist. Read More: KPop Demon Hunters Ending Explained

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Ending Explained – Does Rumi fix the Honmoon?
KPop Demon Hunters Plot Summary KPop Demon Hunters is the latest animation movie from Netflix. For centuries, demons have hunted people and eaten their souls. But one day, a trio of girls protects the citizens with their songs, killing the beasts and strengthening the Honmoon, the barrier between Earth and the demonic realm. Now, it's Zoey, Mira, and Rumi's turn to fix the Honmoon for good and banish all demons. How are they going to do that? By becoming Korea's number one girl group, the HUNTR/X (Huntrix). However, as they come close to achieving their goal, Gwi-Ma, the demon king, sends a new threat their way. Jinu and his team could never hope to defeat the girls with brawn, something every demon has learned over the years. So they form an evil boy band to steal their fans and weaken the barrier. The only problem is that Jinu becomes closer to Rumi than he would expect, as he learns the girl is actually part demon as well. Now, the two find a new strength in each other but risk not getting what they've wished for so long. Do the other girls learn Rumi's secret? Demons bear marks that every hunter can see; it's one of the only ways of figuring out if they are real people or not. Since Rumi's father was a demon, she has some of the marks, which grow as the years go by. Because of that, she never could go to a bathhouse or be truly comfortable around her friends. She even has to wear a jacket at all times, or else her friends will see the demonic pattern on her arms. Despite them getting close, Jinu betrays Rumi during one of the Huntrix performances, outing her to them. As Rumi sings, all alone, other demons change their appearances to match Mira and Zoey's. They quickly start bumping into the girl and badmouthing her in the middle of the stage. Ultimately, they take her jacket off, which makes her freak out and use her demonic voice, shattering all the lights in the studio. When she escapes to the backstage area, the real Mira and Zoey find her and see her marks. She tries to explain things to them, but it's already too late. The girls point their weapons at her, and Rumi's only option is to run away. Although they cry doing that, it's Mira and Zoey's duty to defeat all demons, so they see no other choice. Still, they let Rumi escape. Do Jinu and Rumi end up together? Throughout the movie, Jinu and Rumi learn more about each other and become closer. The girl even thinks of a plan in which the demon can stay with her on Earth even after she restores the Honmoon. However, Gwi-Ma can see what's happening and uses the boy's past regrets to control him. With that, Jinu feels forced to betray Rumi and out her secret to her friends. She tries to ask for his help after that, only to learn he was the one who set her up. During the final battle against Gwi-Ma, Rumi has to defend against one of the demon's attacks all by herself. At that moment, Jinu steps up and takes her place as a sacrifice. He saves her and tells the girl how much she helped him, but he unfortunately dies, redeeming himself. In the end, she makes up with her friends but loses the first love of her life. Does Rumi fix the Honmoon? Yes and no. Rumi realizes her demonic marks are an important part of her, and she shouldn't be trying to hide them from her friends. So, if the barrier she has been trying to create will make them go away, that's probably not the right answer. Together, she and the other girls work to destroy the current Honmoon and create a new and better one. After the barrier gets fragile, Gwi-Ma rises to the surface, ready to steal the souls of hundreds of humans. However, Rumi, Zoey, and Mira use their newest song, one about acknowledging who they really are, to power up. With this strength, they manage to defeat Gwi-Ma and the boy band, creating a Honmoon that respects the uniqueness of every individual. Thanks to that, even after its creation, Rumi still has her demonic marks. But now she doesn't feel she has to hide them from her friends. Read More: KPop Demon Hunters Review

'Nude artist' Dina Broadhurst puts on risque display in tiny skirt - after reconnecting with ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin in Bondi
Dina Broadhurst set hearts racing on Saturday when she shared a risque selfie while wearing a tiny grey skirt. The 'nude artist', 48, shared the racy picture to Instagram as she flashed an eye-popping amount of leg while taking a mirror selfie. The glamorous socialite paired the sizzling frock with a sheer white long-sleeved shirt, protecting her modesty with a lacy bralette beneath it. Popping her hip out to the side, Dina struck a pouty pose for the image. It comes after she was spotted reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin during a low-key meet-up in Bondi on Thursday. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The pair, who made headlines in 2023 when their steamy romance came to light, appeared relaxed and at ease as they enjoyed coffee and conversation in the sun. They then hit Body by Berner for a Pilates session. At one point, the former couple were seen sharing a hearty laugh, with Dina beaming as she leaned across the table. Later, they left the café together and appeared deep in conversation. Their public reunion is sure to raise eyebrows among fans who remember their tumultuous history. Dina and Tony were first linked in early 2023, with the pair quickly becoming fixtures on Sydney's social scene. However, their whirlwind romance took a dramatic turn just months later when it was revealed Tony had split from his wife Shannon Benjamin, following his relationship with the Bondi-based artist. The saga sparked a wave of headlines, with sources close to the couple claiming the relationship had 'fizzled out' just as quickly as it began. In August last year, Dina fuelled speculation of a new romance when she posted a steamy Instagram photo of herself sunbaking in a bikini while a mystery man – believed by some to be Tony – caressed her back. However, she kept mum about her relationship status, never confirming whether she had rekindled things with her former flame. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina doesn't like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to John Winning Jr., known to his friends as Herman. In a huge love life twist, the pair were recently spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy snaps online from their five-star Parisian love nest. However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr., sparking speculation about whether they were back together. Her fling with Kengi followed her blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to Chile for some fun with John Jr., who seems to be her go-to on-again-off-again boyfriend. She and John Jr. originally began dating in March last year, but they broke up in early December on the morning of the wedding of Bernadette Fahey and Jordan Sukkar. The pair were both expected to attend the couple's Scots College wedding, but when Dina rocked up solo, the high-profile guests knew something was amiss. Sources revealed at the time Dina came to the realisation their lifestyles were not compatible after eight months together. John Jr. is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr. and his family is worth an estimated $700million.
