Park Bo Young as Yu Mi Ji and Yu Mi Rae
Park Bo Young takes on the challenging dual role of twin sisters who couldn’t be more different.

She lives a free-spirited and unstructured life and works at odd jobs. Unlike Mi Rae, Mi Ji is warm, emotionally expressive, and relaxed.
Yu Mi Rae, the older sister, represents everything Mi Ji isn’t – a meticulous planner who graduated top of her class from Seoul National University. As a rising star at a government-owned enterprise, she is driven by the need to succeed, though her perfectionism stems from childhood insecurities.
