“Our Unwritten Seoul" isn’t just a story of twin sisters Miji and Mirae. It captures the quiet struggle of all of us; just everyday souls trying to stay afloat in the chaos of city life.

This drama hit different because it wasn’t trying too hard. Just clean, simple storytelling, and I ate up every second of it. 

I jot down the quotes below so that you and me can read everyday, heal from past wounds and embrace a better today, tomorrow and the day after that. 
Yesterday is over, tomorrow is yet to come and today is yet unknown.
... so let's live today.

Whatever you do is right, don't regret it.
So let's live today. I'll do my best to live somehow. So I want you to live too.
Promise me that you'll never run away from anything. Together, let's endure one day at a time.


I spent days in silence, keeping to myself so no one would see how vulnerable I was. Inside the layers of bark I've built up in my wish to become a tree, there are fragile feelings trapped within, unable to grow. 

It's been a while since I've put all my effort into something, I should've expected that I wouldn't do well, but I really wanted to do a good job, so I guess I didn't want to find out that this is all I am but I can't fool myself.

People who get swayed by gossip don’t care about the truth anyway.

There might be something wrong with me. I regret everything and worry so much. I have all this life ahead of me, and I feel completely lost.

For so long, I was harder on myself than anyone else, just for being me. it wasn’t until I lived as someone else that I realized my worst enemy was myself.  
 
But if you keep holding on and won’t let go, you can’t grab anything new. So let’s try to hold on to whatever joy, comfort, or happiness we can. Even just a little.

You think too much. the more you think, the more you lose track of time. 99% of those thoughts are useless. Thinking about the past only brings regret, and thinking about the future only brings anxiety. 

Life is too short not to spend it with the person that you love. 

Just like the moon that follows me, without ever being noticed, this fool has been silently waiting, for who knows how long. I liked Hosu and this foolish side of him and I still do.

 I didn’t even have faith in myself. but she kept waiting, believing that I’d come.

 They healed each other in ways they never even noticed.~

There's no such thing as perfect timing. Nothing in this world is perfect.
I’ve liked you for a long time. More than you know.

- Whenever I started thinking about why life was so quiet, you'd barge in loud as ever

- What? Loud as ever? if you don't like that, maybe I should leave.

- No, I like that you're loud.

Maybe what I really wanted wasn't to become a perfect person or pair but rather a complete whole. Broken pieces that embrace each other and make up of each other's shortcomings.

 - I feel like there's no place for me in Seoul.

- Why there's none?

- Everything feels like a lie. I have no reason to be there.

- Miji-ya. You belong where you choose to stay. We can come up with a reason together. 

What felt natural to us seemed flawed to the rest of the world. 

It might take a while... but one day... you'll meet people who will read you for who you are. (Rosa)

Life is like a poetry. from a distance it looks like an indecipherable code but if you look closely with a heart willing to understand, only then will you see the meaning within.

None of that bothers me at all.

You don’t bother me, either. No matter what you’re thinking regardless of whether you can stop talking or not..

A today that's a little better than yesterday. Those todays build the promise of a tomorrow. The promise of being together tomorrow too when things will be even better than today.

 You have to be loved to know how to love.

They grew up with little love from their mothers. Yet now, they keep trying to give their own kids the love they never had.~

I stayed in that room thinking I was the only one going through a hard time. I never thought about what it must've been like for those watching me from outside.

No matter how small I feel or how hard things get, I'll do whatever I can here. I want to do all I can to become the kind of person who's always there for others too. 

If you open the door, I’ll be right outside. So you can just open the door anytime.

You raised Hosu all by yourself. If you two aren't a real family, then who in the world is?
 

You should have told me of all people. Your dad brought us together so that we could hold on to each other. My love for your dad is a memory, but my love for you is my reason to live. You are my son and I'm your mom.

Love isn't about winning or losing. It's about remaining on the same team until the very end even if you lose. Love is about staying together even if you lose a hundred or a thousand times.

I didn't want you to get hurt, but I ended up hurting you even more. I thought being on my own would make me less of a burden, but I didn't realize how selfish that was. I’m sorry.

No matter how hard your day is, one second of laughter can get you through it, so don't ever let go of the person who make you laugh.
My world began to sing after meeting you. just as the wind carries the bird, you led me to poetry.
my song, my wind, my Sangwol.

You can go. I won't cry too much. I'll live my life as best as I can so don't worry about me. See the things you wanted to see and go to all the places you wanted to visit and every once in a while come visit me too.

You know, the one who loves more is supposed to wait. And I'm good at waiting.

People only move forward. You might stumble and fall or pause for a bit, but you never go backward.

We found the resolve to walk this uncertain path together without knowing what lies ahead even if all that awaits us is a pitiful ending, We will walk this path together until the very end.

You don't stay on the bus until the last stop
You get off when it's your stop
Why is the end so important 
The beginning is what matters. 

 Now, when I feel like I know something a familiar chapter ends and an unfamiliar chapter begins.

Maybe it's because I already know that no matter how hard I hold on to the end, I can't stop it.

I realized after going through a few chapters that life isn't a book with an ending. It's a notebook I have to fill in myself. Even if I'm confronted by a blank page, it's not the end, but a beginning.

It's not the end but a beginning. It's the unwritten first page of my story. There'll surely be unexpected twists and turns along the way but I'll keep searching for a line of happiness and keep writing until I've filled every page. 


As always the days are unfamiliar, new and full of uncertainty. Despite everything we still managed to find joy. Even if the days we push through end on a sour note, a new chapter begins and somehow we find joy again and we love again.

and we reach the last page of the chapter once more.
