In Our Unwritten Seoul Episode 10 took an emotional turn. Park Jin-young’s character, Lee Ho-soo, discovered something serious—he started losing hearing in one ear. It wasn’t just a small moment. It quietly changed everything.
This episode focused on truth, quiet struggles, and doing what feels right. Yoo Mi-ji (played by Park Bo-young) and her twin Yoo Mi-rae are now back in their own lives. But they’ve both grown. The choices they make now are different from before.
Mi-rae decided to report her boss for sexual harassment. She didn’t want to stay silent anymore. When offered paid leave, she refused. “If I’m not at my desk, people will say I ran away,” she said. It wasn’t about work—it was about respect.
Mi-ji, on the other hand, is slowly building her own path. She’s searching for a job, reading newspapers, and walking into shops. She doesn’t know exactly what she wants yet. But she’s trying. And that’s enough for now. Lee Ho-soo supports her. He’s calm and steady, always there. But even he has moments where he struggles. When he suddenly lost hearing in one ear, he didn’t say anything. He just kept going. That moment was quiet, but it hit hard.
This episode also sparked quiet conversations online, especially about workplace harassment, mental health, and second chances. Fans praised the show’s realistic portrayal of trauma and justice. Some even shared similar personal experiences, saying Unknown Seoul gave them a sense of comfort and courage.
Truth About Kim Ro-sa Changes Everything
While looking for work, Mi-ji noticed something strange about Kim Ro-sa—the woman who owned the shop she liked. Something felt off. After checking on her, Mi-ji found out she was actually someone else.
That someone was Hyun Sam-wol, a man living under Kim Ro-sa’s name. The real Kim Ro-sa had a hard life. She had been abused by her husband, even while pregnant. One day, she couldn’t take it anymore. She fought back—and her friend Sam-wol took the blame. He went to jail for her. After she was released, she gave him everything she owned, including her name. She knew she wouldn’t live long, and he was the only person she could trust with her son.
Now that her past was coming back, Sam-wol felt scared. He had lived quietly for so long. But Mi-ji and Ho-soo didn’t want to leave him alone. They gathered evidence, collected letters, and tried to prove the truth. They submitted everything to the court.
The process wasn’t easy. Mi-ji and Ho-soo consulted a lawyer, dug through records, and tried to make sure Sam-wol’s story was more than emotional—it was legal. This effort showed how far Mi-ji has come from just surviving to taking action for others. They even showed that Sam-wol had donated royalties from Ro-sa’s books to students in need. The court finally decided to give him a suspended sentence. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a win.
Lee Ho-soo Faces A Personal Battle
While all this was going on, Ho-soo kept his hearing loss to himself. He didn’t want Mi-ji to worry. But it clearly affected him. This twist didn’t feel forced—it felt real. Sometimes health issues appear without warning, and people just try to manage.
Viewers online had mixed feelings. Some said the twist felt rushed. Others felt it added depth to Ho-soo’s character. A few even wondered if it would push him to work with disabled communities in the future.
One viewer asked, “Why now? There’s still so much story left.” And they’re right. With only two episodes left, there’s still a lot to wrap up.
But maybe this is the point. Life doesn’t wait for the perfect moment. Just like Mi-ji and Mi-rae had to step forward on their own terms, now Ho-soo has to face something alone—until he’s ready to share. What’s interesting is how both twins are on parallel emotional arcs. Mi-rae is reclaiming her voice in public. Mi-ji is learning to trust herself in private. They’ve stopped running from trauma, guilt, or fear—and started living.
More Than Just A Twist
At the heart of this episode was the idea of doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Whether it’s Mi-rae standing up to her boss or Mi-ji helping someone she barely knows, every choice feels grounded and believable. This drama doesn’t shout. It doesn’t force drama to shock the viewer. It builds slowly. And that’s what makes it work.
Park Bo-young continues to shine in both roles. She plays Mi-ji and Mi-rae with such a difference that it’s easy to forget they’re the same actress. Park Jin-young also gives a quiet, moving performance, especially in the final scene when he realizes his hearing is failing.
Fans are hoping the show doesn’t end in tragedy. Many are still recovering from the twists in other dramas like Queen of Tears, and they’re hoping Our Unwritten Seoul doesn’t follow that path. But for now, the story is staying true to itself, focused on people, choices, and quiet strength.
