We have ongoing coverage of Our Unwritten Seoul across the site including recaps for the season. You can check those out HERE! Has Our Unwritten Seoul been renewed for season 2? At the time of writing, tvN have not renewed When the Stars Gossip for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it'll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up. The ratings began with a respectable 3.6% share nationwide but since then, the show has been increasing in popularity with every passing week, with the later episodes hovering around 7.4% nationwide. Regardless of ratings, it's extremely rare to find Korean dramas renewed for another season. That has changed in recent years but given the sheer wealth of talent in this that are sure to move onto other projects, we predict that Our Unwritten Seoul will not be renewed for a second season. On top of that, this is billed as a limited series which only has 1 season. We'll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available. What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given most Korean dramas are reserved to one season, it's rare to find these sort of shows renewed. With the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed. Having said that though, we have seen Taxi Driver and Tale of the Nine Tailed renewed recently, alongside Alchemy of Souls too. Given how steady the ratings are for this series, could we see this one buck the trend? It seems very unlikely that Our Unwritten Seoul will, but you never know! We'll be sure to update this section when we know more. Would you like to see Our Unwritten Seoul return for a second season? Or do you think the story has run its course?

Unwritten bonds, unspoken pain
A slow-burn drama about identity and emotional healing, Our Unwritten Seoul, directed by Kim Yun-joo, proves not all stories need fireworks to make an impact. The 2025 tvN series, also available on Netflix, is a deeply introspective piece powered by subtle performances and a quietly poignant script. Dual lives of twin sisters At the centre of this tender narrative are Yoo Mi-ji and Yoo Mi-rae, twin sisters who could not be more different, both played with extraordinary precision by Park Bo-young. Mi-ji is a reclusive writer battling panic attacks and professional burnout, while Mi-rae is an energetic drama script coordinator masking her emotional fatigue with forced optimism. A surprise reunion leads the estranged sisters to impulsively swap lives. What begins as escapism turns into a revealing emotional journey, as each sister is forced to confront not only the life the other lives but also the emotional burdens they have tried to ignore for years. This is not a dramatic identity switch in the conventional sense, but more a study of empathy and long-suppressed pain. The writing leans into psychological realism, gently pulling viewers into the emotional lives of its characters with patience and care. Cast and characters Bo-young is unquestionably the heart of the series. Known for her expressive eyes and emotionally resonant performances, she steps into two completely distinct roles and she disappears into both. As Mi-ji, she captures the heavy stillness of someone suffocating under her own thoughts while as Mi-rae, she reveals the fatigue of a woman trying too hard to hold herself together. The transition between these characters is seamless, never once feeling like a performance trick. Supporting her is Park Jin-young, who plays Ji-won, Mi-rae's co-worker and a man who learns to see beyond surface identities. His portrayal is grounded and gentle, serving as a steady emotional counterbalance to the chaos the sisters navigate. Ryu Kyung-soo also shines as Han, someone with a restrained presence that slowly unravels as he bonds with Mi-rae. Their scenes are filled with quiet intensity. Every performance, no matter how minor, feels emotionally real, never exaggerated, never hollow. Even the fleeting characters that pass through the twins' lives are written with a purpose, adding to the show's emotional richness. Beautiful slow burn Visually, Our Unwritten Seoul is shot in warm tones and natural light, leaning into minimalist cinematography that reflects the characters' inner solitude. Scenes are often slow, filled with silence or subtle expressions rather than exposition-heavy dialogue. This, however, is also where the series may test viewers' patience. The pacing in the first few episodes is undeniably slow, and it takes time before the emotional momentum builds. But when it does, the payoff is moving and memorable. That said, the drama's core themes of healing and the messy love between siblings are delivered with sincerity and depth. Our Unwritten Seoul airs every Saturday and Sunday on tvN, with new episodes available to stream on Netflix at the same time. PLOT: 7 ACTING: 7

This creates a shared experience and weekly buzz across social media. What's the plot? Set against the backdrop of Seoul, Our Unwritten Seoul tells the compelling tale of twin sisters Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae. They are both portrayed by Park Bo Young. Though identical in appearance, the two couldn't be more different in personality. Their lives take an unexpected turn when a family crisis forces them to switch identities, throwing them into unfamiliar roles. As they navigate through confusion and deception, both sisters begin to see the world (and themselves) in a new light. Mi Ji, taking on her sister's identity, finds herself unexpectedly reunited with Lee Ho Su (played by GOT7's Park Jinyoung), a childhood friend and former classmate. The two share a history filled with memories from high school days in Duson: some cherished, others painful. Their reunion brings unspoken emotions bubbling to the surface, and the drama begins weaving a tale of unresolved love and personal healing.

He does so in a way that feels both intimate and universally relatable.
