Our Unwritten Seoul episode 12 release date and time: tvN's latest drama, Our Unwritten Seoul, is in its finale week, and fans are already feeling the emotions set in. Starring Park Bo Young and Park Jin Young, the series has been praised for its heartfelt storytelling, realistic characters, and sensitive portrayal of mental health. With the finale set to air in just a few hours, it promises to bring a thoughtful close to what many are calling a beautifully crafted show. If you've been following the journey, here's a quick recap of the penultimate episode, what to expect in the final chapter, and when and where to watch it.
What is Our Unwritten Seoul about?
Our Unwritten Seoul follows the emotional, often messy journey of two twin sisters, both played by Park Bo Young, who decide to switch lives in hopes of escaping the weight of their own problems. Mi Rae, a high-achieving but burnt-out corporate employee, is drowning in deadlines and expectations. Her twin, Mi Ji, once a promising athlete, now lives a slower, more carefree life after stepping away from the spotlight. Feeling stuck in their respective ruts, the sisters agree to swap identities, and what starts as a temporary plan quickly unravels into a series of deeply personal discoveries.
Park Jin Young stars as Mi Rae and Mi Ji's neighbour Lee Ho Soo, a high-powered lawyer from a top-tier firm who walks away from his job, only to spiral into questioning everything he thought he wanted. His emotional unravelling adds another layer of quiet intensity to the show, as he searches for meaning beyond his carefully crafted resume.
Also in the mix is Ryu Kyung-soo as Han Se Jin, a man who once lived at the top of the finance world as a hedge fund CIO but now chooses peace over pressure, running a farm in the countryside where Mi Rae starts working as Mi Ji.
Our Unwritten Seoul episode 11 recap
In the penultimate episode of Our Unwritten Seoul, emotions ran high in what was arguably the most powerful and moving chapter of the series so far. Mi Ji and Ho Soo finally manage to earn Miss Rosa's trust, and in a quiet, heartbreaking moment, she opens up about her past. She reveals that her real name is Han Sang Wool and that she assumed the identity of her late friend Ro Sa after serving time in prison. The twist? She went to jail not for a crime of her own but to protect her friend's children from their abusive father—an act of silent sacrifice that hits hard.
Just when it seemed like things were beginning to fall into place for the twin sisters, the story takes another unexpected turn. Ho Soo, who had been finding comfort and connection with Mi Ji, is suddenly hit with hearing loss. The trauma shakes him to his core, and instead of leaning on others, he withdraws completely. He breaks up with Mi Ji without much explanation, choosing isolation over vulnerability, leaving her and viewers shaken and heartbroken.
Mi Ji, though heartbroken, decides to give Ho Soo the space he needs. She recognises that he must be feeling overwhelmed and burdened, and instead of pushing him, she quietly steps back, choosing empathy over desperation. But it's an intense and emotional confrontation with his mother that finally breaks through Ho Soo's walls. In a rare moment of vulnerability, he realises he can't keep carrying everything on his own. For the first time in a long while, he allows himself to lean on someone else.
This turning point not only softens Ho Soo's guarded heart but also mends the quietly strained relationship with his mother. In a tearful conversation, they both finally say the things they've been holding back for years. It might be the first truly open moment they've ever shared.

Meanwhile, Mi Ji has a moment of clarity after a heartfelt conversation with the owner of Rosa Restaurant. She realises that walking away from Ho Soo might have been the safe choice, but it wasn't the right one—not when she still cares so deeply. In the final moments of the episode, she finds him again, and the emotional weight between them finally gives way.
As they embrace, Ho Soo breaks down, letting his guard fall completely. Through tears, he admits he needs her and asks for her help—not just as a partner but as someone who sees him, understands him, and is willing to stay.
As for Mi Ji, she takes a bold step toward finding her own path finally quitting her job at Korea Finance Management Corporation. When Han Se Jin offers her a fresh start in the U.S. with a promising opportunity to restart her career as a finance intern, she gently turns him down. Instead, she surprises him by offering to take care of his beloved strawberry farm while he's away.
In that decision, Mi Ji admits something important: she still doesn't have all the answers, and that's okay. She realises she needs more time and space than she thought to truly figure out what she wants from life and for once, she's choosing her own pace over someone else's idea of success.

The teaser for the finale hints at an emotional rollercoaster ahead. Mi Ji's mother appears to discover her relationship with Ho Soo, setting the stage for a potentially tense family moment. Meanwhile, Mi Ji is seen having a heartbreaking conversation with her ailing grandmother, one that feels like a goodbye, suggesting a tearful farewell might be coming in the final episode.
Mi Rae is also expected to open up to their mother about her future plans, possibly signalling a big shift in her personal journey. And as for Ho Soo's mother, all eyes are on how she will respond to his growing relationship with Mi Ji, especially now that he's learning to let others in. With so many emotional threads coming together, the finale promises to be both poignant and deeply cathartic.
