Chicago Typewriter

I thought that I had written a review on this drama, only to realize that...no, in fact, I had not written one about this creative masterpiece. So here we go!

If you haven't watched it yet, GO... NOW! It's amazing!!!

Yoo In Ah plays Han Se Joo who is a prolific writer. Though he has accolades, status, and money, he lives an isolated existence. Han Se Joo is skeptical, cynical and mistrusting of people outside of his small trusted circle. Throughout this drama, we get to see him evolve into a loving, and compassionate person. His hilarious antics often stem from suspicion and jealousy, and it was a pleasure watching him. We also get to see him reconcile to the supernatural elements of his world, and that was a great source of laughter. Han Se Joo finds that he has to navigate between his incarnated past and his present. He writes about these encounters with the hope of helping out his neighborly ghost, Yoo Jin Oh.

Yoo Jin Oh, (played by Go Kyung Pyo) is also a writer, who happens to be a ghost. His bar was instrumental for Korea to be liberated from the Japanese occupation. The only problem is, he doesn't remember how he died, and his soul has been captured inside a typewriter that happens to find it's way to Han Se Joo's desk. He makes his way back from Chicago to Seoul, and he's looking for the beautiful Jeon Seol. This character was lovesick throughout the series, and he had such beautiful puppy eyes. Go Kyung Pyo continuously pulled my heartstrings.

Jeon Seol played by the amazing Im Soo-Jung. Jeon Seol is an... unfortunate soul. She loses her father after being abandoned by her mother. Once she finds the talent for shooting guns, she begins having visions of the murder of someone of her past life. She then pursues a veterinarian degree but develops another scare. She's our typical spunky K-Drama lead girl. I adored the chemistry between Jeon Seol and Han Se Joo. They were electric and it was such a joy seeing them.

The story developed amazingly, the soundtrack was perfect, and by the last minute of the drama, I was completely satiated.
