Haru Sep 04 2025 12:52 pm I watched a lot of kdrama but this is one is very different than

most kdrama I've ever watched.. Only one word can. explained this drama : masterpiece

Cheryl Jul 07 2025 7:30 pm This is one of the best K dramas I have ever watched. For me, everything was perfect. I find that I love a drama that centers friendship over romantic dramas. They are the ones that seem to touch my heart the most. The friendship between the three leads is magic and as the drama progresses and the story of the past lives they shared together, unfold, it just gets more beautiful. It makes me think about how much freedom can mean to a country and the people in it and the lengths some would go to to protect their freedom. Everything about it was perfect to me, the dialogue left nothing unsaid and the OST was so beautiful. The last three episodes had some of the most beautiful, poignant scenes that really touched my soul. I am so glad that I found this drama from 2017. It's truly difficult to put into words the feelings I have for this drama because it touches my heart so deeply. For me, Chicago Typewriter is a masterpiece!

starryfim Jan 27 2025 2:29 pm expected better but it was so boring tbh.. i waited and waited hoping it will get better but i couldn't finish it until the end. it's not easy for me to drop a drama but i just couldn't it's that boring to me!

SKY☁️? May 07 2024 9:23 pm Best Drama Ever i cant explain how much i love this drama, everything is perfect abt this drama

Yeri Aug 24 2023 11:15 am Loved it. Storyline, characters, actors and ost every single aspect of the drama. Rewatching this after 5 years is quite nostalgic, brings me to think how new kdramas are loosing their touch. 2023 only a handful like glory, taxi driver and revenant can carry intense genre. Anw saw people saying female actress is bit over the board. 1930s tough and novel part i couldn't agree with she kept us on our toes, while 2017 Jeon seol may seem bit dramatic look at how her character was asked to portray. Lim soo Jung did good in that aspect but I wished there was more to Jeon Seol and Han Seju romantic aspect after their enemies to lovers start. Idk felt like the chemistry was lacking so the production treated water carefully.

Alina Aug 15 2023 1:29 am I watched this drama a few years ago, the 2 male cast are amazing! The story is really incredible, the OST as well, Overall, one of my all time favorite k dramas, it is for my soul... the type of drama that i like.

lohanna Jun 15 2023 9:18 am This is one of the best underrated k-drama I’ve ever watched in my whole life. Hwi-yeong, Shin Yul, Jeon Seol, and all the comrades of the Joseon Youth Liberation Alliance sacrificed themselves for the sake of their country. This drama made me realized that as a citizen of the Philippines, I should value the independence that was bestowed upon my country. I should never put it into waste. I have Big Respect to all the fighters(heroes indeed) who fought for the independence of my country. They will never ever be forgotten just like this drama. I will keep it in my heart until next life and if the word “forever” exists. :)

Storm927 May 27 2023 2:00 am Such an underrated drama, amazing plot and osts it's definitely a hidden gem

Maple Sep 22 2021 5:49 pm Re-watch again before it removes from Netflix... This drama is really good... Love it so much... Really an underrated drama...

Ellie Sep 19 2021 9:24 am That was one of the best shows I have ever watched!! I really enjoyed the ride. Sadly, it will be removed from netflix on September 30. I hope you could watch it before that time! ☹️

minhtam99 Sep 17 2021 12:49 am such a really really good movie. Everyone should give it a chance and watch it patiently . so so good !!!!

sammy Sep 06 2021 7:48 pm Gago ang gandaaaaaaa!!! So underrated. Mine Seo Hwi Young huhu so pogiiiii <333

underrated gems Sep 01 2021 11:58 pm 5/10

Jayne Aug 31 2021 12:38 pm Beautiful story of love, friendships and promises made. Amazing actors..well done all! I had lots of laughs and tears throughout. OST took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Overall brilliant i loved it.

Aneliese Aug 26 2021 11:55 pm Omg... I watched this drama in 2021. I really love this drama so much. So underrated. This drama recall me drama Mr Sunshine. So satisfying. I love historical drama. Drama nowadays soo boring and dragged the drama too much until i skipped many part. But to me this drama make me curious all the time. I didnt skipped any part. Because every scene are important to watch and meaningful. I love their friendship so much. Mr Shin Yul was not greed to had Su Ryeon. This drama are so worth to watch. I love this drama so much. I hope i can see a lot of kdrama like this.

Lizzie Aug 01 2021 12:39 pm For me its 6/10 Its just so boring...also the main female lead acting was so awkward..esp when she acting cry .. the story is just so so i only watch it for Yoo Ah In.

Sorry my bad grammar

Steffanie Jun 06 2021 8:42 am I forgot to mention Blooming Memories, Writing Our Stories, and Be My Light. Together with Satellite, they make the perfect OST!

These songs make you feel nostalgic, fall in love, and stings the heart at the same time.

Steffanie May 15 2021 8:54 pm I love the OST!!! Satellite is a masterpiece.

You Ah In and Ko Gyung Pyo did a phenomenal job as Han Se Joo and Yoo Jin O.

Jeon Seol suited Lim Soo Jung. However, there's still room for improvement on her acting.

I liked the story. It's rough on the edges because of the actress of Jeon Seol.

Other than that, it would've been perfect.

Fifi Apr 10 2021 11:57 pm The movie plot is good, lead male and second lead male act so good, but the lead female actrees act so terrible and annoying.

Lyka Dimarucut Apr 10 2021 6:30 am this drama is very underrated but may I know magkakaroon ba to ng season 2 ?

Christina Pink Apr 06 2021 1:22 pm I just ended watching the complete episodes and I have no idea from where should I start. Let's talk about the characters then. Both the male leads have a very distinct character and are somewhat opposite in nature, but what intrigued me the most was the Female lead wasn't given a typical "female" role, although there are some dramatic outbursts of her, it somehow feels very natural thus keeping with the overall tone of the novel. My absolute favourite part was when she took revenge by killing every Japanese official and traitors. That comeback is worth a thousand whistles.

Lenka Apr 02 2021 5:27 am I really like how the story is tangled, how the past and the present are intertwined. Actors, interiors, colours, moods, lines (!.... for the country...!"), everything is cool. And the soundtrack is great - fits perfectly to the story, especially "Time Walk" and "Be With Me" are just vibing.

nn Mar 27 2021 1:37 am this drama is so underrated T.T One of the best kdrama! The story is original.

KT Mar 08 2021 7:10 am One of the underrated drama. I’ve watched this maybe 4 years ago when it wasn’t on Netflix yet. I was totally hooked with the storyline apart from being Yoo Ah In’s fan, i felt the storyline is very fresh and different from other typical kdrama stories back in those days. I kept on recommending friends about this drama and so i watched again on Netflix. I have to say the drama really gets interesting aftee episode 6, and as i watched the second time, i felt there were parts were Yoo Ah In shouted a lot and might set people off from continuing to watch, but trust me, stick with it as it will only gets better.

Nur Feb 24 2021 1:31 am Great storyline and very captivating to watch! However, I think that it's a 'miss' for the drama about the female lead actress. She didn't really portray Jeon Seol's character well and kinda awkward, id say???

Shella Feb 19 2021 1:04 am One of the best kdrama! The story is original. The cast is perfect to their roles.

Brenda Feb 14 2021 11:46 pm This is my new favorite K-Drama. The actors were great, the storyline flowed nicely and the story itself was original. I would highly recommend this drama. The soundtrack is beautiful too which is always a plus.

Jen Jan 25 2021 6:27 am It's been 7.5 years since I started watching Korean dramas and I've watched over 150 till date & this is my favorite Korean drama.

It's so unique and the plot is heart wrenching. I won't say much. Give it a go~ you won't regret gambling those 16 hours of yours.

Zafran Jan 09 2021 5:55 pm Its is one of the amazing drama that i have watched,The reason i choose by to watch this drama is bcos,i was so interesting with the era of joseon/korean been invaded by the japanese,this drama is just no about love,romance.more importantly is their lovely friendship.and there’s a scene which I cried abit

cljake Jan 01 2021 12:56 pm Absolutely Excellent! One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Cast is great.

Roro Dec 26 2020 12:27 pm Amazing so underrated, first eps are a build up to something so great. I am so attached to this drama ?? seriously one of the best, with an amazing OST. Such a unique storyline that gave me chills, also the actors/ actresses played their roles so well!! 100% recommendation

Margie Vicknair Dec 24 2020 12:41 am Watched this series on Netflix about two years ago. Loved it so much I decided to watch it again. Cried just as much as first time! What a beautiful story, and so well acted and produced. This show should have won every award out there. The screenwriter, Jin Soo-Wan, built a place I wanted to know more about and made me love the real people who gave their lives to fight oppression and occupation. Everyone who takes freedom for granted should watch Chicago Typewriter.

Livia Dec 15 2020 5:52 am One of the underrated drama. The cast is good, The story is good. The performance is good. If you are into books, writing and writers, this drama suits you well.

Charmaine Dec 01 2020 2:34 pm What a great series . I thoroughly enjoyed it .

Frying pan couple Nov 29 2020 2:53 am Love this show

Ryu Shin Sep 29 2020 9:27 pm This drama really masterpiece, but too bad during this drama was broadcast the rating isn't really good..

I'm a guy and I've already watch more than 200 kdrama, but only this drama has made me cry.. :')

Evangeline Dare Sep 28 2020 4:06 pm Why do I think that IU could have portrayed the role of the female lead character better? She could carry the fashion and the face of the 30's era with aplomb, can sing for real, and is a perfect feminine foil for the bromance and gentle machismo of the two male lead characters. And she can act!!!

kdrama rookie Sep 27 2020 7:52 am this series is seriously underrated at the time it aired, if you guys are looking for a unique storyline for kdrama, watch this, yeah the first couple of episodes is kinda slow, but you will not regret finishing this, it will be worth it.

syah Sep 26 2020 11:57 pm I just learned that its the same director for Flower Of Evil. No Wonder Both Are Superbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Anne Sep 25 2020 12:21 pm Yoo Ah In, no matter what look he's in, is so attractive. He can pull off any look based on all of his works. He's so talented as well.

Support him! He has a new movie in October

Polinka Sep 24 2020 6:44 pm What a great and beautiful story! this is one of the dramas that made me cry, which doesn’t happen often. i loved the whole idea and the fact that with every episode it was getting more and more interesting. putting this drama in my top 5:))) ♥️

Cecille Sep 16 2020 1:46 pm The 3 leads are awesome, the story really made me cry. I really love stories about friendship/love.

Yoo Ah-in, how come you are so handsome here, unlike in Secret Affair (i wonder if i got the correct title). I think that hairstyle makes u look younger and hotter.Looking forward to more of your works - saranghae oppa!

yura Sep 13 2020 9:04 am i hate how underrated this drama is. very beautiful and heart warming <3

Deedy Aug 27 2020 9:47 am I regret watching this drama. I Regret Not Watching It Earlier!

If You Are Hesitating, Just Watch! An amazing drama indeed! And rather than melo, it focus more on friendship, promises and loyalty.

kyowtie Aug 24 2020 8:59 am I really love Yoo Ah In's character as Seo Hui Young, the attitude of him, it's just so cool. And his style as Hui Young is overflowing. I hope he will use that hairstyle again. I'm already crazy over him, looking for a look in him here in Chicago Tajagi!!! Saranghae Oppa

Cheng Aug 20 2020 4:55 pm While watching this I became curious if I too have been reincarnated or something lol. All I can say is that we are lucky today in a more liberated world, thanks to the youth and heroes of the past for their bravery and patriotism. Salute to the cast! Great drama.

Yeol Aug 19 2020 9:58 pm I love the storyline, its like solving puzzle pieces in every episode. Definitely worth watching. I love Yoo Ah In ♡

Dianalod Aug 13 2020 5:55 am I dont like the female character

Moonshine90 Jul 08 2020 1:18 pm For years I skipped this even I knew beforehand this would be a good drama and yes it is one of the best drama I’ve watched. It is a total package, it has one of the best plot. From the characters, each of them portrayed it very well, my fave trio. And Yoo Ah-in will not really disappoint you, I can’t see other actors portraying his character. The setting, from his house to the 30s scenerio. How I wished yoo ah-in will portray another character in this kind of setting and I hope there would be more like this drama in the future. And the OSTs, how perfect it was. Good thing there is an English soundtrack which I can sing with out mumbling hahahha and is my total fave now Satellite.

Maybe I kinda regret skipping this drama but good thing I have just watched this, which is for me very relevant these days in our situation of my country where our government lacks patriotism. My favorite scene is when they took photos in Gwanghwamun and before that Seju and Shin Yul/ Yoo Jin-o talked how thankful they were in their ancestors who fought freedom. Because of that I admired how strong their patriotism. It just annoys me that my country esp. our government lacks this as if they weren’t thankful enough how our ancestors fought for our freedom and independence where a lot of countries already invaded us. If our heroes back then also have the chance to be at a present time, they will be really disappointed. Anyway that scene where they took a photo will always be a fave. I love how this portrays friendship and patriotism.

Also it has the best kiss scene I’ve watched. ?

Favorite quote “No matter which era you live in, Life is an agony. There is no such thing as perfect world. Every era has its own problems.. and things you’d want to resist. We resist, struggle, fight and win. That’s how we shape the world we live in.”-HanSeju ep9

BENCH Jul 03 2020 7:35 am Oh my! @Veeveevee we're on the same boat. I also watched this 3 years ago as an on-going drama but I dropped it for new ones. However, I just came back to this show and binged-watched it. This is so amazing. I might say this is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. I somehow felt nostalgic with this drama. It could be because of the 1930's vintage, but that is not just the case. The whole storyline pierces me because of its rawness and purity. This is the type of series that will leave a place in a persons' heart. It has the same feeling as star gazing at the night sky or watching the burning sunset. It also has that feeling where you wander for your life dreaming about the future. Overall, it really triggers my longing for something to happen in my life. I am really grateful that I came back continuing for this story to unfold. For now, I could say that this is really worth it. So Everyone should give this drama a try.

Veeveevee Jul 02 2020 12:59 pm I watched this as an on-going drama but the first few episodes did not captivate me that I decided to drop it. 3 years later, I don't even know why I got crazy back then for not being captivated by this masterpiece.

Each episode was amazing--- everything about this drama is just perfect. The brilliant acting was delightfully paired with superb cinematography and beautiful OSTs.

I have to admit, the 1930s scenes lured me in and I'm in a huge Hwiyeong hole that I don't ever want to get out of. His hair, wit, and radiating intelligence just made my knees wobble each time he appears on screen. But having Shin Yul in the present-day scenes in his suits was just pure eye candy.

I had a lot of tears towards the ending too!! The trio's story was truly heartbreaking, and the patriotism conveyed in this series is enough to shaken your privileged life.

To anyone who is having second thoughts in watching this drama, THIS IS THE SIGN THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

W A T C H T H I S

Claire Jun 26 2020 12:49 am Chicago Typewriter has a very small share of imperfections, that I can't seem to point out anymore because everything made up for it. It was a rollercoaster ride and despite my preference for the 1930s setting, it was nice to have the other side of the story serve as a breather *most of the time, at least; it did have its own angst*.

Actors did an amazing job. I definitely saw the difference between the two lives and how invested they were in their roles. They were all captivating.

And because I love Yoo Ah In so much, I can't leave him out of my long comment. I can't explain how amazing of an actor he is. As always, he's a breath of fresh air whenever he takes on a new role.

His character from the 1930s took more people in than the one in the present time, probably because of the hair and the being of a person at war, fighting for their independence, making him more and more attractive.

Both of his characters are so attractive, and of course, like everyone, I was definitely whipped for his 1930s role. His visuals, attitude, intelligence, diligence, and responsibility were on point.

There was a point where I'm in literal tears because of the tragedies, but find myself smile for a few seconds to admire how swoon-worthy his visuals and attitude is despite all of the tragedies. I guess it's Yoo Ah In's power to make me cry then go uwu for a second then cry again.

I finished it in 2 days. I could've finished it within a day if I didn't rewind a lot of scenes to admire Yoo Ah In.

SPOILER ALERT

Hwi Yeong's last farewell was one of the many scenes that I rewatched a LOT, before moving on to the next scene. I knew that dramas like this will break your heart (Mr. Sunshine thought me well), but if only we saw the trio happy and free from anxiety, in a liberated Joseon, it would've been perfect. But it is set in an era where they had to fight for independence, so I guess I have to get over it and accept that it is the realistic way to end it. Hwi Yeong's devotion will definitely leave me broken for a long time. I wish I don't get THIS attached for Korean dramas, it's such a bother to not get over about what I just watched every single time, for a very long time.

b Jun 20 2020 11:39 am a masterpiece. i had a huge second lead syndrome for yoo jin oh. the storyline is so well written. the actors did such a great job!!!

Joseph Jun 12 2020 6:34 am This kdrama is a masterpiece from story line, character and cinematography. It is a must watch kdrama. I dont know why this drama is undderated.

Seph Jun 12 2020 6:29 am One of the hidden gem of kdrama from storyline,character and cinematography ❤❤❤

coconuttree Jun 11 2020 9:22 am This drama is masterpiece.The writer ,stroryline ,actors and actress,props ,ost and all about this drama are very awesome and incredible. It is a must watch drama.The feel of this drama is still lingering around me. Their loyalty ,love ,friendship and patriotism are so undescribedable.It so much feeling on this drama and raised the bar too high to the next drama.Making me difficult to move on and somehow I feel we have to grateful the freedom we having right now and thankful to the ones sacrificed their life for liberation of nation just for us(younger generation).

Nathaniel May 31 2020 9:58 am Mind Blowing!

Bibbidi bobbidi boo May 28 2020 1:04 pm Can't believe I let this drama sleep in my storage for months. This is such an amazing drama. Now one of my top favorites. Kudos to the casts and staffs! ❤

leo wu May 23 2020 2:29 am i really love this drama also i suggest people to watch it. its worth it. the ending actually had me more shocked:)

Totome May 15 2020 4:40 am This drama was not overhyped. In fact when this came out, there were little attention and the ratings did not do justice. I guess people might say it is an overhyped drama because people have praised it so much later on that some have become skeptic whether or not it really is worth it. So with that thought in mind, I will not recommend nor promise you that this is a good drama because it is something that you have to find yourself. Clear your thoughts and take a chance.

X May 14 2020 9:20 pm Idk if people are overhyping this drama because of the unique storyline or what but i watched this when it was on-going and personally i didnt like it. Plot is unique and the storyline was nice but its boring. Its not different from goblin where they go to a different setting and its not different from tomorrow with you (tomorrow with you is far better than chicago typewriter) where they both have time travel plots. Ok tomorrow with you has a more simple plot and setting but the drama was well escalated, As for chicago typewriter i barely remember any details since i watched this like 3yrs ago? But it was rather dragging tbh

nananana Apr 28 2020 6:16 am How Can This Drama Become So Underrated????????? Anyone who is still hesitating whether to watch it or not, yall better start watching it. I swear this is one of the best kdramas ever

Chelle Apr 27 2020 5:00 am This drama has become my basis of worth-watching drama of all time! The camaraderie and romance made me cry and laugh at the same time. After watching this drama I was curious on my previous life as well ? The 3 lead actors was very good in portraying their character.. This drama is 100% recommended to all ❤️❤️ PS. Go Kyung Pyo fan here ??

Traci Ann Borja Apr 24 2020 10:27 am Just rewatched itnow for the 2nd time. Amazing. Season 2 please.

Riviewer Apr 18 2020 3:18 pm I liked the drama, but it was not like spectacular. I think the story was really interesting, but that was it. I didn't find romance that good or like anything else. Just a unique story tho!

Cherry blossoms Apr 17 2020 11:15 am After 3 years i still can't move on from this drama. Always watch it again evertime i get bored with recent drama. From the storyline, cast, cinematography, to ost this drama is a masterpiece. I'm so frustrated that this drama never got big. As a big fan of kdrama, with more than 120 dramas been watched, this is one of the best drama ever. Fantasy kdrama usually have at least one hole in the storyline, but this is a perfect sample that fantasy can makes sense even in melodrama. And Seo Hui Young is the best character ever made in kdrama. I'm falling for him

Alina Apr 04 2020 4:19 pm I just finished it now, it was indeed one of the best k dramas i have ever watched, I dont know how come i did not discover it until now!

The story was unique and original and the 3 main characters had really strong chemistry.

Chigago Typewriter k drama is way under rated.

Love this drama! <3

Haia Apr 01 2020 6:32 pm This drama is soooooo great. I said what i said. That's it. Even the first episode of it already give me the vibe that it will be really good. Im kinda regret bcs i just started watching it in 2020. Many people had mentioned about how good was the drama, but i didnt feel to watch it because of their poster lol hahaha. I thought it was going to be an old type of drama but my perception was wrong. Now i really love it! This kind of drama need more recognition!!! Please watch it if you are hesitate to watch, it really worth your time!

bihaxxi Jan 10 2020 10:18 pm Finished this drama today. As expected from Yoo AhIn. Another masterpiece from him. Just love the whole drama from the cast to the setting.

meridienne Jan 02 2020 11:15 am Yoo Ah-In had tons of charisma with his costar in Secret Affair, but zero, in my humble opinion, with Lim Soo-Jung. Their kiss in the older era was hard to watch. Ah-in did, however, have tons of chemistry with Ko Gyung-Pyo. They really had a beautiful love/hate relationship, and Ko Gyung-Pyo was adorable.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr Dec 22 2019 1:56 pm i skiped this drama for 2 years.. i thought the story would be cliche, but then, WOW!! the storyline is very unique. This is how a time-travel (not really actually) drama should be. Because I see a lot of time-travel drama got so many plot-holes there. it is just perfect, ended it in 3 day

Joey Dec 07 2019 8:47 pm Loveee this drama, binged watch this entire series in 3 days because it just was so good!! I was so lucky to have not missed this gem. The story was captivating and I like how the author play out the past and the present (as well as the romance - it was so different and natural compared to other dramas).

Yoo ah in is a phenomenal actor, this is my first time seeing his work and I was taken aback. I really liked how he differentiated his past and current characters. Probably will start watching six flying dragons because of him (and the good reviews).

Lim soo jung, I saw her in WWW and her character was so different to this. her chemistry with you ah in was great!! Seems like I would be continuing with WWW (as I dropped it early on).

Go kyung pyo I watched many of his dramas before but this character really captured me the most. My heart always aches when I see him and I always tear up in most of his scenes. Not to mention his bromance with yoo ah in and love for lim soo jung was so fun and real.

Definitely will be watching this again!!

YO Dec 03 2019 2:30 am BEST DRAMA EVER DONT HESITATE TO WATCH IT TRUST ME

Se Joo

anzal Aug 24 2019 7:33 pm Amazing drama....

Delvani Aug 24 2019 8:24 am I watch it twice. I don’t know why i really love how they bring their characters. Seriously i really love it ..number 1 fan?

Introvert alien Aug 08 2019 8:07 am Why the heck didnt i watch this earlier. Im 2 years late. One of the best drama for me. Really exceeded my expectation. ^^,

klover Aug 04 2019 10:09 pm i dont really write reviews like at all

but i finished this drama a few days ago and im facing sEriOuS withdrawal syndrome i just cant put into words how much this drama touched my heart and made me feel wayy too many emotions at once my heart ached at that ending and hui young and soo hyeons love was heartbreaking i literally sobbed for hours

this drama is easily the best drama i have ever watched from the storyline to the humour romance fantasyish wardrobe setting ost and everything was so amazing i keep watching the past life scenes again when they were happy and start crying bc of how they ended up and soo hyeon singing was so angelic omg and the alleyway kiss was everything *on repeat* basically i just cannOt believe that this precious precious GEM of a drama is so underrated it makes me so sad that its not getting the recognition it deserves but seeing the comments here makes me so happy that theres people that feel the way i do about this beautiful meaningful masterpiece:)

Tooth Aug 04 2019 9:35 pm Officially my favourite drama ever made. Highly rewatchable from start to finish. Every episode was fun for me, since I enjoy character driven stoylines.

Simple proof that ratings isn't an indication of quality.

Traci Ann Borja Aug 03 2019 7:27 am 1000 percent the best.

Prajeeta May 17 2019 10:01 pm WOW, what else can I say about this spectacular drama? From plot to acting to even the OSTs, it’s ten out of ten! This drama successfully unravels the beauty of friendship like no other dramas tha

Teriseu Apr 18 2019 1:02 am Still my most favorite drama so far! (Jin Soo Wan's Kill Me, Heal Me comes second too ㅋㅋㅋ) Great casting, great chemistry (as friends and lovers), great dialogue, and great story! Love how Jin Soo Wan wrapped the story of patriotism in such an unconventional way that you will not sense an in-your-face feeling.

If you have doubts in watching this drama, then I hope you try still to and understand why the hell we are so into this. It has been almost two years since I first watched it (planning to rewatch again btw) and it is still on the top of the dramas I have watched. ?

klover Apr 16 2019 12:55 am Masterpiece! MASTERPIECE! Easily one of the greatest korean dramas of all time. EASILY!

HeartK Apr 13 2019 10:01 am The dialogue in this drama is to die for... my gawd it's good.

klover Apr 13 2019 6:52 am Yep! Episode 5 is definitely where it goes Next level. Ignore previous comment. We have lift off... so good!

klover Apr 12 2019 9:30 am I think everyone overhyped it for me. First 4 episodes... I legit fell asleep on 2 occasions. Everyone's saying it's from episode 5 where it gets good. I really hope so.

verna Apr 07 2019 9:12 pm One of the best kdrama I've ever watched, became Yoo Ah In fan. Perfect casting. I really loved it, done watching for the 2nd time.

Angel Zhou Jan 05 2019 8:28 am BEST KOREAN DRAMA OF 2017! I'm not kidding with my opinion, I'm a heavy K-Drama watcher and can easily skip a drama if something doesn't interest me at the slightest while watching. But this Chicago Typewriter is one of the best k-drama ever made. Jin Soo-Wan writer-nim IS A GENIUS, indeed. You can't expect another drama that turns time back and forth as smoothly as Chicago Typewriter, where every secret unfolds very well. It even taps the sentimental part of Koreans, which is about liberating their own country from Japan, and mixing it with romance and friendship. The relationship between leads are beautiful, yet very painful. I worship this storyline so much!

I love how Yoo Ah In portrays Heo Sui Young, a leader and a writer at same time (2 responsibilities that you may say need opposite skill-set - one is strategic thinking and one is emotional thinking). Don't even mention his masculine voice and his sexiness, oh God :""" He is one of the best character ever made. I hate Han Se Ju at first, but as he knows his past and his fellow comrades, he becomes a more likable character. I really love Yoo Ah In in this drama <3 <3 :"

Talk about main woman lead, Lim Soo Jung is always the best to play such a weak at body yet strong at heart. She seems fragile but ambitious, thus she fits character Ryu Su Yeon the best. Even when she plays Jeon Seol, she can make her an obsessive fan, but still has intelligent charm. Jeon Seol gives the best of her in this drama. I always love Lim Soo Jung <3

And.... The lead role; Shin Yul a.k.a Yoo Jin Oh, played by one of the most flexible actor out there, Go Kyung Pyo! Without his contribution in this story, believe me there will be nothing between our two main leads X)) Even though Shin Yul did many wrong things as he is a short-minded person, but Yoo Jin Oh completely changes, he is even wiser than Han Se Ju (the reincarnated version of his leader). He leads the story very well. I can't imagine someone else playing this role.

Big big thanks to everyone involved in Chicago Typewriter! This is a very pleasant experience to watch this drama. I love it to bits.

Traci Dec 29 2018 5:05 am Just superb and awesome. So thankful to God that I was able to watch it on my Christmas vacay. <3 #daebak #hopefulfors2

Dalila Nov 09 2018 4:40 pm One of the best dramas ever made. It is different, bueatiful, very well played and has a meaning. The feelings you get from this drama is beyond amazing. It is a beautiful story about love and friendship and much more. If you are looking for something with a deep meaning, with deep love, I recommand this drama. I can garuantee you; it is a masterpiece.

Yanti Oct 31 2018 5:10 am I love it. Kudos to all actors, crews, scriptwriter and director. Love to see Yoo Ah In. Good job! I hold my tears so hard. ?

Leo Oct 05 2018 2:21 pm This drama was a masterpiece. One of the best drama i've ever watch...

Alyss Sep 30 2018 8:31 pm Im crying when see this drama. This drama wasss soooo amazingg and greatt the storyline was so smothh . Omg please give this drama an award. Andd I love yoo ah in in past life the superbb hottt

Keren Sep 15 2018 1:40 pm You never fail to amazed me Kdramas ? kudos to production team ?? for a Job well done.. One of the best kdrama of all time. Storyline is awesome and amazing..

Hannah Sep 13 2018 7:48 am I knew something was off from the beginning, and it’s even getting weirder towards episode 5.. woah now I’m on episode six. To people reading the comments as a reference, if you like a twisted drama and good plot, good acting.. well, give it a try..

Migthy Thor Aug 09 2018 8:28 pm It took me a year to finish watching this drama, and now finally i got it! For me, the story kicked-off on the 5th episode and from there, everything just turned out FANTASTIC! Though Lim Soo-Jung was not that great for me (they could have chosen a better actress) but the male actors (Yoo Ah-In, Ko Gyung-Pyo and Kwak Si-Yang) were just so AWESOME! Particularly YOO AH-IN, I have watched almost all of his dramas and movies and he's so MARVELOUSLY a brilliant actor !!! I hope to see him more ... in movies and dramas (",) CONGRATULATIONS to the entire production of Chicago Typewriter !!!

Gizibe Aug 07 2018 4:58 am This is one of the best drama outhere!!!! With a great cast and an fabulous Yo Ah In! I love it!

Bel Jul 24 2018 12:42 am Give a shot to this drama. Aside from scarlet heart that was really the best for me, this drama will be the second one. its a roller coaster emotions.i do really love it.

BenguK Jul 18 2018 2:27 am Great story line, charming acting and a flood of emotions. This drama deserves more appreciation and if anyone reads this comment trying to decide whether to watch it or not, please give it a try. I still listen to its OST and it gives me goosebumps whenever I hear "SG Wannabe - Writing Our Stories" - so touching and heartwarming!

Pretzel Jul 13 2018 11:29 pm Still, one of the best K-dramas for me!! Great acting, plot, cinematography and chemistry!!

Zephy Jul 13 2018 9:10 pm Another UNDERRATED DRAMA the Plot, Cinematography, OST and Casting is pure perfection. This drama deserves a lot of recognition and high ratings for having a unique story, the Actors deserves an award for this. I laughed, I cried, it touched my heart for their friendship and patriotism.

I like to give this Drama a Perfect Score if not only not for this following reasons 1.The Evil Sister of the Stalker was never caught 2. I had high hopes that Yoo Jin-O has already been reincarnated in the Present but he was in coma state who just woke after finishing the novel 3. I was really shipping Yoo Jin-O and Ma Bang-Jin I want them to end up with each other

Although I like Han Se-Joo but the character of Yoo Jin-O was the one who stood out the most for me even Gyun Woo (the dog) he was so cute! Lastly I have a lot of HATE for Baek Tae-Min and his Mom hands down for the Actors for portraying their roles so well.

Nidaulh Jun 11 2018 10:13 am ll about this drama is great,i enjoy every second of this drama.. Especially the main character chemistry,its very sweet and fit with their story.. I love this drama so much..❤❤❤

loeloe May 30 2018 3:05 am loved it

wingeey May 25 2018 8:17 am I love this drama so much ! <3 its like a perfect package and well-made drama ! the cast, plot, cinematography, even ost, everything. if you get bored at the first 3 eps please keep watching, i promise its worth it. omg its probably my best kdrama ever?? i dont even want to watch any drama till i move on from this drama. you will crying your heart out at the last 3 eps :((( idk why it got low ratings but yeah you guys should watch this masterpiece

Mariem May 23 2018 4:15 pm I thought i wouldnt like this drama...but janggg so amazing! The plot is soooo good!its really fantastic...the phasing of present and past is sooo good, cinematography and of course no one beat the leads...yoo ah in is sooo great! This is only underrated but try highly recommended!

shelshi May 01 2018 8:17 am it might really be boring at first (because it is quite confusing) but trust me, it is all worth it at the end. you'll laugh and cry. the storyline is good as well as the actors. i cant find the right words to use... it's just GOOD.

tamera Apr 03 2018 8:44 pm the series is awesome. don't give up when you start watching the 1st few episodes. I promise you it is worth watching.100over 100 stars

Anna Apr 03 2018 11:16 am I decided to watch this drama because of go gyung pyo but i thought this drama might be boring because of there are two era in the same drama... BUT after i watched this drama... I think this drama might be one of the best dramas ive ever watched. I dont know how to express how great this drama is. The beginning of this drama might be quite slow or boring but trust me this drama is full of plot twist and it is beyond expectation. I would like to congratulate the scriptwriter, director and who ever involve in making this drama. You guys did a GREAT job ! For those who are still wondering whether you want to watch this drama or not.. plsss watch this drama. Strong power thank you!! XD

Anna Rhey D. Calapardo Mar 19 2018 8:18 pm I found no such word to use on how to express my appreciation in this Drama Series because the feelings that brought by this drama is beyond compare... The viewer must be broad minded in terms of Love and Sacrifice. I made to laugh and cry not because the cast are good but yes they are, it just that it really takes place in some life... some are in my life....

zombie Mar 17 2018 4:55 am i dumped this drama by epi 3 there was nothing i could follow through the writer should make it easy at the beginning so people will stick around instead this drama was so difficult to follow up and if the actors wouldve been good then probably i wouldve stick much longer but this was not the case either i dont know what the ratings are so i dont know if i did good or right to dump this drama but found something interesting this drama was produced by tvn about a couple of weeks ago i dumped another drama by halfway drinking solo which i thinlk it was produced by the same company and a couple of years ago i dumped another drama by halfway let's eat and i think it was produced by the same company it seems that i dumped all the dramas from this company i dont recall watching another tvn drama so i dont know why is this happening why me and tvn dont get along

Still into You Feb 15 2018 10:34 pm I love reading the reviews for this drama because we share the same feelings for this great masterpiece. Posting a review is not my thing but this drama is an exception.

It made me crazy as different emotions would be felt through the entire drama. I laughed, I cried, I was touched of the strong bond of their friendship and patriotism. And the OSTs were in synchronize with my tears!!! I was literally sobbing for 2 hours because of this drama..

I will forever remember the feels of CHICAGO TYPEWRITER.. this left me wondering..What did I do in my past life???

Kar Jin Feb 13 2018 12:42 pm One of the best dramas that i have ever watch.. Excellent story line and talented cast... I love you Yoo Ah In and Gong Pyu !!!

Scheherazade Feb 06 2018 6:16 am This is definitely on of the best Korean dramas I've ever watched. I love every aspect of this drama. And I love #YooAhIn so much!

EXOL Feb 02 2018 9:50 pm This drama is beyond your expectations.. It is so unique!! The beginning moved so slow but then OMGGGG I understand why it was that slow.... I learned a lot from this drama...I don't know why but it touched my heart so much.... I will never forget it ♥️ I recommend this drama to you and be patient/appreciate the first episodes you will never regret it ??????

Cutie Chibi Jan 27 2018 10:08 pm The plot overall is pretty unique and well written, there are almost no holes in the story line. The thing that I'm not digging for is how slow the drama moves and there are many scenes keep repeating. If you can be patient and watch towards the end, you'll be satisfy of the mystery.

SPOILER AHEAD

I feel really bad for Shin Yul. In order to save the person he loves he had to betray his friend surely knowing that his friend will be captured. Hui Young then killed himself, how much in pain Yul would have be. After that he was carrying on his promise to his friend, but couldnt as the person he saved before killed him. I get that the author wants more intense part, but I still feel so bad for Yul. For sure hes my favorite character!

Lzia Jan 24 2018 9:20 am Good drama good acting. Special Yoo ah in, but the girl Lim soo jung is too old for Yoo ah in Like her Mom hehe Sorry

Lzia Jan 24 2018 9:09 am I luv This drama special Yoo ah in hehe but the girl i think is Yoo old Like His Mom hehe

Eva Jan 21 2018 9:31 am This drama is so original. So hard to find good drama these days as there are so many competitions out there that produce similar type of stories. But this drama is so good and has a hook for every episode!! They manage to portray the message clearly and it seems like the stories they trying to tell are quite complicated but they still managed to brilliantly portray the drama in a way that viewers can understand. Excellent! Wonderful!! I also cant pin point any absurb stuff. The storyline is just perfect.

Lil_One Jan 10 2018 2:33 am This is the BEST drama in 2017 really I'm not joking. A unique one. A BIG Applause to the whole Team. It's like ALL in ONE drama. The plot is really interesting. I don't remember that I getting bored in every episode. I finished watching it last November 2017. I just want to tell this to people who didn't watch it.

Watch it now! You will not regret it. Promise.

Lisa Jan 09 2018 5:11 am This is hands down the best drama of 2017. Don't know why it was under the radar, maybe because the promotion sucked, but this drama is far from sucks. It IS a masterpiece!

Shirin Jan 05 2018 8:43 am I’ve benn watching Kdrama for 6 years now, I’ve lost count of the number, maybe I’ve watched more than a thousand drama, and this is the first time I decided to write a review on a drama, why you ask? Because it’s one of the very few that I would never forget. Has to be one of the best dramas I’ve ever seen. With a well thought plot, great acting from the cast and all and all, this drama is less than a masterpiece!

tazzzzzzzifz Jan 04 2018 5:29 am So, this is the first time for me to write comments. I finished this in three days and I just finished it like 15 minutes ago... My favorite drama was strong woman do bong soon but this drama made up its way to the top. I really love this drama, I dont know if I can get over it or not because the plot is really intresting, I dont remember getting bored when I watch this. This drama is really awesome. Daebak!!!

Tya Abdullah Jan 03 2018 2:10 am I've never posted anything here but this drama is beyond awesome so I have to post this by hook or by crook. Just finished watching it in January 2018. The casts, the storyline, and the settings blend in perfectly together. Not a single episode feels draggy and boring. NOT ONE. Trust me on this.

I'm hereby announcing that I am going through withdrawal syndrome after watching all 16 episodes of Chicago Typewriter. That's how good this drama is.

Seriously guys. Go watch it!

LucaB Jan 02 2018 11:51 pm Nice drama 2017

yi bang won and yi song gye tough haha

selva Jan 01 2018 7:36 am Big applause to the whole team. Awesome drama. Best drama in 2017 and always. OMG

selva Jan 01 2018 7:34 am I love this drama very much. I cried out a lot in the last 2 episodes. They rocks :) :)

jema neutron Dec 26 2017 3:42 am a lot of people posting about their top 10 kdrama for 2017 but sadly no one put chicago typewriter in thier list. I guess a lot of them missed watching this awesome kdrama.

sienna Dec 05 2017 10:26 am This drama is simply brilliant. This is automatically one of the best of 2017. Really underrated though but it deserves EVERYTHING.

Give this a chance and you won't regret it!

Dewi Nov 16 2017 8:58 pm Great drama. Nasionalism. Great cast + scenario + director and all

"I'm going to do something for my country." Nov 14 2017 7:17 am "I'm going to do something for my country."

This line kept me swooning. This drama is daebak. The cinematography, script, OST, the acting, and everything is so on spot.

Yhanz Nov 08 2017 1:50 pm At first I thought it was a boring drama but its DAEBAK!. Yoo Ah-in is a great actor.. Highly recommended a unique one.

dia Nov 07 2017 6:40 am GOLDEN!!! oh my gosh!!! brilliant drama. highly recommended y'all.

I thought it would be another police chase investigative crime drama but boy was I blown away from the pilot episode alone.

it got some GOBLIN elements in it but I would choose this drama over it anytime of the day!

KPF Nov 02 2017 7:54 am I thought this was a historical drama so wasn't keen to watch it but it was in the top kdramas to watch. I decided to give it a go and did not regret it! Plot was good with a mix of romance, suspense and drama past and present. Love the camaraderie of the 3 leads. Even though both Yo Ah-In's roles had cool and arrogant personalities, there was a definite distinction in his acting of each character. I adore Go Kyung-Po's ghost character.

Se-Ju's house was daebak and so were the scenes in the working studio and bedrooms with wall to wall of books - you can't miss that this is a drama about writers.

One of the best dramas I have watched this year. it Is everything the reviews say - 5 stars.

Sk Nov 01 2017 8:34 am LITERALLY THE BEST KDRAMA EVERRRR!!!!! Love love love the storyline, the character, ost, and everything about this drama! The kind of drama that gave you goosebumps, and when it ended it felt like you had lost something and keeping u coming back for more!! Btw, I miss you yoo ah in, please be healthy!!

rds Oct 29 2017 11:55 am Best drama i've ever watch this yearrr!! The story, ost, casts all goood!! Tears coming up for the last episode yet i really really love the ending.

Raffi Oct 21 2017 5:01 am Splendid, just splendid. I just loved the storyline. I can't believe I actually felt like I was in the movie. I can feel all the emotions, anger, sadness, disappointment, and love. This is seriously the best drama I've ever watched. And for the ending, I can't be more excited for it. I give 10/10 for this drama, 5 stars, and most of all twi thumbs up. I'm thinking to rewatch this drama soon. 감사합니다.

Noia Oct 18 2017 3:24 am The only thing I didn't like on this drama is Kwak Si-Yang playing an evil role. I admire him from Oh My Ghost, and seeing him as a bad guy here breaks my heart. Nevertheless, this drama is soOooOOOoo good. Not a typical kdrama series. I like how they incorporate the present from the past. It has nice storyline. This kdrama should be highly recommended. I'm giving it five stars.

aa Oct 18 2017 2:45 am "To protect the love I couldn't protect in my past life. To meet again in a liberated homeland and love freely."

Not your typical KDrama Series. I really don't get why this drama is so underrated. :( This drama is GOLD. This drama is a must watch. This drama is worth to watch. The Story, the characters, the OSTs. I have no words to say. I have watched so many dramas after watching it. But this one, I cannot move on with this one. This drama is my life. This drama is my home. ♥

Pipit17 Oct 13 2017 8:05 am Nice drama,,,3 lead actors has a good chemistry.

Ji Yong's Wife Oct 09 2017 9:53 pm Im in Love with Hui Young!!!!

10/10 super great Drama...

사랑해 Oct 01 2017 9:12 pm It broke my heart when Hui Young said "I love you " to Su Yeon... wwaaahhh

Semperlei Sep 24 2017 9:14 am what a great story! it was beautifully narrated and executed!!! very unique story... and oh what a great acting by the 3 leads that made this kdrama more compelling and addicting to watch! yes. the 2 lead actors are super eye candy but wow... their acting is superb especially gyung pyo.. he made me cry at that last episode.. this drama gave me the thrills, mystery, humor, drama and romance in every episode and was delivered in a very beautiful way.. kudos to the writer for his brilliant mind for creating such a unique story of friendship and love... for the director who ensure all were well executed and oh my the music... wow it will give you all the feels! love love this kdrama!!!

Wawa wee Sep 22 2017 11:41 pm If I were to rate this drama, out of 100 it'll be a 100. Everything about this drama deserves a slow clap and a standing ovation. From the cast to the storyline and setting of the drama upto the OST's...DAMN!

drifter Sep 20 2017 9:43 am i was drag here by hovering all yan jin-sung's related dramas! and hamo hamo! I was shot dead by this drama! *clap*x9999

Lola Sep 09 2017 7:18 pm I would rate this as a 10!

This has to be the best drama this year. Ya better vote for this drama to be in the top list for the award ceremony!!! Sho, I swear. This drama is a masterpiece literally. I love how this drama actually have a STORY LINE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Every episode kept me invested, interested, and hooked on, as there are cliffhangers and the story unfolds as the characters learn more every episode about the past. This drama is Very unique, different, plot twist, thriller, interesting, and omg educational as well too! I love watching Korean films based on the 1930s when Japan ruled Korea - and it was during the time of Korean Independence movement - with all the secret agencies and bonds. So interesting! I love watching these films that are based on history - though I admit they are biased, but you learn so much from every countries' point of view.

I love the music and the 1930s era! Learning about Korean's Independence movement and groups! The patriotism and learning how much they value that - is seen is this drama. I also see it in other music such as Arirang.

And damnnn Yoo Ah In, Lim Soo Jung, and Gyung Pyo's acting was SUPERB! Lim Soo Jung's comeback since a long time ago from Sorry I love You! She's a phenomenal actress!

e Sep 09 2017 12:26 pm Okay. So here i am. Writing a review after finishing watching all 16 eps at 2am and cannot sleep ? guys, if u are wondering if u should watch this drama or not? I swear u should give this a try. Lols i refusw to watch it bcs the trailer not so promising but trust me that story plot super daebakk the acting the osts are all perfect. This drama is brilliant! Brilliant!

Thanks to the writer, drama cast and the team that involve in this drama. This is one of the best drama i ever watch. Thank you. Thank you sir. This is one of the masterpiece that i wont ever forget. Love from malaysia ❤

Joyous Sep 07 2017 9:40 pm I would love to see a spin off for the characters Yoo Jin-oh and Ma Bang-jin. Hahahaha. Anyways, this series is magnificently beautiful! No wonder, the writer is also the writer of Kill Me, Heal Me. Two thumbs up for this series.

marimar Sep 07 2017 7:32 am Beautiful!! I'm crying at the last episode, so lovely and every character has a nice ending. Like watching a historical drama in modern way. Love it?

Haneykpoploves Sep 07 2017 12:57 am Chicago Typewriter is really a masterpiece. I am so curious about the writer of the script. It is very unpredictable and realistic. The story itself is very unique, I wonder how wide is the imagination of the writer. For the record, this kdrama is one who took my heart, I end up burst into tears!

Yoo Ah In is really a very talented actor!

mika Sep 02 2017 1:24 am So classic! The storyline and even the ost is so cozy and can make you feel comfortable to watch every episode.

Bea Aug 31 2017 5:57 am Agree! I am reluctant to watch this drama at first since i'm not familiar with Yoo Ah-In but when i started to watch it OMO! I became his fan. He's a great actor and the cast perfectly delivered their roles. This is a must watch kdrama and deserve to be recognized. 10/10

Rese Aug 31 2017 5:20 am This drama is so perfect. Must watch.

Jenny Aug 27 2017 9:56 am The most awesome drama eveer After watch this, honestly its hard to move on The drama are funny, nationalist, mellow Just wow

Mindy Aug 23 2017 5:55 am Chicago Typewriter is honestly what one would call a masterpiece.

It stood out from every other Korean drama I've watched all these years; words simply cannot even begin to describe how fantastic the plot was, or how stellar the acting was or how well directed every scene was in this drama.

It amazed me how each episode just kept even getting better than the last.

Each and every plot twist shook me and I grew to love the three lead characters more than I have ever liked any character in any drama or English TV show I've watched so far. I simply cannot get over the many jaw dropping moments I came across in this show, not the mention the fact that the script writers managed to beautifully integrate some great humor into this very deep and serious plot.

This drama is for those who are tired of the cliches and want something different. It's a mixture of many genres: mystery, historical, supernatural and some great romance and never left me bored for a single second.

I was itching to watch the next episode and dying to solve the many great mysteries within each episode; the ending was beautiful and satisfying on so many different levels.

Yoo Ah-In, Lim Soo- Jung and Ko Gyung- Pyo were ideal for their individual roles and will keep you on the edge of your seat with their marvelous acting.

In my opinion, Chicago Typewriter is must-see drama for all!

Arihant Aug 15 2017 6:26 am What an impactful series! This show deserves all the praise it is getting and some more! Rarely have I come across a series which has kept its central point of suspense alive till the end! The resolution is beautiful and the ending meaningful. The show evokes the same sense of wonder I first had when I had started watching dramas.

Yoo ah in is absolutely sensational in the dual roles of Han se Ju/seo hwi young and is ably supported by Lim soo Jung and Ko Hyung Pyo in a period/supernatural/moden fusion drama to remember. Kudos to the writer nim and the PD nim

The ost is superb and is well used throughout to create maximum impact. All the praise in the comments below is genuinely deserved for this show

P. S. You will never feel the same hearing a typewriter's keys click once you have seen this show.

ari Jul 17 2017 8:15 pm This drama is seriously one of the best! Everything is amazing. I love everything about Chicago Typewriter and I always recommend this to my friends who would love to watch a kdrama... If you're having doubts watching this kdrama, you must watch it with no matter what! Hahahaha! I also like the transition between 1930 and the present time. Yoo Ah In makes everything better <3 and this is not your typical drama... the storyline is unique and it is in my top2 list. haha hope everyone will watch this gem! <3

Ms Sik Jul 10 2017 9:39 am This drama is so beautiful in every way. The actors are great, the cinematography is gorgeous and the OST are really nice. It fits well in every scene and the storyline is original and beautifully heartbreaking. But one thing, the otp (Han Seju and Jeon Seol) didnt work for me. I mean, Yoo Ah In is really a great actor i have no problem with him but the Soojung is a bit awkward. Its hard to watch her acting all cutesy and sweet. But she's fine in other scenes. I really love the character of Kyungpyo here. He's the type of ghost I want to be around. Overall, I'll give this drama 9/10. It's great and worth your time.

Erick Jul 08 2017 9:13 am I personally think this storyline was way better than legend of the blue sea its really sad and tragic but this drama made it on my top 10

pastelcake Jul 07 2017 8:41 pm This drama is amazing. It was really worth watching - I basically binge-watched this in one go. The cinematography, the acting, the story itself, and the OST! It fit the scenes so well, I really loved the OST. Their story of the past was really interesting too, it blended to the present well. There were life lessons that can be learnt from this drama as well, another fact why I love this drama. It's original and new, give it a watch guys! It's worth it! 10/10!!! ?

Bebe Jul 04 2017 8:48 am Aww great drama ....was worth watching

Ada Jul 03 2017 6:55 pm The atmosphere of the drama id just the best i've seen ! Really unique and special drama ! I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND Of IT ! And I'm so in love in the charismatic of the leader Hyo young (Han Seo joo) ?❤️ ! Really charming The cast is on point they've chose the right people ❤️ Shin yeol is so kind and sweet and I'm impressed with his acting skills , so hyun is really brief and strong I like how honest and innocent she is ❤️

This drama is unforgettable, I hope they win a reward

Lyne Jul 02 2017 12:02 pm I love it when the drama took an old era and mix it with the present. Actually i watched it because the genre is Supernatural but it not only Supernatural but also inspiring story, unexpected plot and the flow is in its pace. recomended to watch :)

whynot Jul 01 2017 2:21 am very good drama. outstanding cinematography. loved all the actors. and yoo ah in is mesmerizing as his 1930 character.

whynot Jul 01 2017 2:14 am very good drama. such a special vibe. outstanding cinematography. all actors were great and of course, Yoo ah in is again outstanding and mesmerizing in the 1930 part.

Serag Jun 30 2017 3:49 pm I like is so much but the story from the old time was much greater that the current

Jean - Luc Jun 30 2017 9:04 am Such an amazing, awesome drama at first I decided not to watch this drama but after going through all the reviews I changed my mind and honestly I made the right decision. The cinematography is just incredible. I love Kdrama but honestly Chicago typewriter best one so far from the first episode to the last episode. the amount of times I cried and laughed. The actors , actresses , writers and directors of these dramas never fail to amaze me. ????

Berry Jun 29 2017 11:51 am Such an amazing, awesome drama,...great acting n great story line

anapudding32 Jun 28 2017 3:08 am It's an awesome drama! I expect a lot from this drama when they announced that Yoo Ah In will be the male lead! This is my first time to watch his work but I know that he is a well known movie actor. Due to my exam, I finally finished it today. I have to say that I am 100% satisfied. I understand that this drama got a very low rating (despite being in sama time slot of Goblin and The K2, but even The K2 has a higher eating), maybe because of the not-so-popular actors (Im Soo Jung is more active in a movie) or a quite complicated plot. But, this is a superb piece of art! I love how the script is being well-written, makes me doesn't lose interest at all. And, the director did it well too! I am amazed by how this drama really makes me fall in love! I am totally in awe with this drama! Kudos to all actors, director, scriptwriter and all staffs who worked ao hard to create this drama!!! This is a drama that you totally should watch in 2017!! I also watched Goblin, but I have to admit that Chicago Typewriter is much better! I love how we get a not ambiguous ending and the superb 1930s set (Carpe Diem bar and Anastasia's song ❤). It also taught us to be grateful living in the liberated country. This drama also probably will be Yoo Ah In's last project since he exempted from military and I am certain he won't take any project for several years. ❤ Chicago Typewriter will be the first best Korean drama I've watched from now on. Go watch it everyone!

Nor Jun 27 2017 7:57 am Any drama with Yoo Ah In I will definitely watch! <3 The writers and directors of these dramas never fail to amaze me.

Miss Mandy Jun 26 2017 12:17 pm after watching the trailer I decided not to watch this drama but after going through all the reviews I changed my mind and honestly I made the right decision, it was worth watching it, I mean among all the drama I have watch till now this was the best and hats off to trio they did so good , love them

Hasi Jun 25 2017 10:14 pm Chicago Typewriter is simply amazing and I loved it.

The cinematography is incredible. I think after Goblin and Descendants of the Sun this drama is the best when it comes to great cinematography. I loved the 1930s setting of the drama and I wished the entire drama and plot could have been that. Other than in movies I have never seen that 1930s Japanese occupation era in a drama.

The story line and the plot of the drama is novel. It was very worth to watch it as it was good difference. The ending was was indeed satisfying. However, I preferred if there was more romance.

Yoo Ah In’s acting was superb as always. I really liked Go Kyung-pyo’s character as well. I think he did well. Wasn’t a fan of the female lead however, she did justice to her character. Even though she was in her late 30s she was able to hide her age very well and get along with the two actors who are about 7–10 years younger.

I totally recommend it to everyone. It is a must watch drama of 2017.

Jazzymin Jun 25 2017 9:37 am One word can describe this drama. PERFECT! From the first episode to last Wow! Best drama ever <3

Milli Jun 24 2017 6:33 am Such a perfect drama. It was awesome from start to finish. Definitely in my top 3 for 2017. Perfect match of actors to their charaters.

kkaayy Jun 21 2017 12:32 am Probably the best drama i have ever watched. It has a very beautiful story line and the acting and the soundtrack was perfect. I loved every bit of it from beginning to end and it's a drama that i would always keep in my heart.

seegorgeous Jun 19 2017 10:02 pm The moment their first teaser released, the excitements already filled me. Its Yoo Ah In . Like duh.. Been dying to see him again after six flying dragons which left me wanting more though it's a 50 episode story. Idk, Ah in is such a good actor that will always leave you flabbergasted by all means.Haha. What more ? This drama also offered open arms the ever dashing Gyung-pyo . I must say he's the kind of guy that even you don't want to have a crush on but eventually ended up crushing and giggling over him like a teenage girl.lels. Well to be fair the first to second episode's were a bit blur that's difficult to pick up the trail however on the other side it's understandable and somehow acceptable enough for you to held unto your faith and patience since it's actually worth it.

Keke Jun 19 2017 9:55 pm This drama is so good. I like the flashback part. But the ending is so so, but overall is good. Still there're many left question after this ending

Patrick Thailand Jun 19 2017 6:54 pm So sad Yang Jin Sung only female lead friend.

Riritaz Jun 19 2017 4:42 pm I dont know what must i say.. The drama is the best ever after Like the history, like the love.... Very recomended for wathing the drama Love you all chicago typerwriter

Sera Jun 17 2017 12:06 pm Hi, I just want to say that I'm so thankful for the existence of this drama. I've just finished watching the drama. At first, I thought I wouldn't like it and I was not really interested but I it turned out that my thought was completely wrong. The plot is really good and of course the actors have made it perfect. I love how this drama reminds us all that we all are lucky to be able to live in this liberated countries. Reminds us how much people in the past had sacrifice for everyone to live in a beautiful country with no fear and to be able to live freely. It's a wonderful and beautiful drama. Thank you.

PS. I love watching Yoo Ah In, every scene feels like those of cool music videos lol seriously though! I hope to watch more of him in the future!

pgirlcl13 Jun 15 2017 11:05 pm A drama to watch! Awesome storytelling behind an old typewriter, awesome acting from an outstanding casting members, two thumbs up to the writer and director for the plot , action, natural love scenes, just a beautiful story, I must say

Antique Jun 15 2017 10:10 pm Thankyou Yo Ah In.. i will waiting for your next drama or movie again.. Love you from your bigfan

Trinity Jun 14 2017 8:10 pm I am seriously in love with this drama, plot, and character development! The suspense, foreshadowing, flashbacks, and unfolding of story/characters, is beyond amazing. Now that is how you make a TV series. I feel like Korean dramas/films are shifting themes and its fascinating. From tear jerker, romance, and wayy too dramatic drama between families to more variety, comedy, suspense, thriller, etc.

Me personally, I like to watch tv series/films that are similar to the theme in this kdrama - suspense, thriller, based on real historical time periods, etc. something about the 1900s fascinates me - in all countries around the world. I find myself wanting to see more and more about the 1930s in the Japanese colonial period in Korea. I would loooove to see more films/tv series depicted in that time period to learn more about it, korean revolution, and why there is a separated Korean country now.. It is pretty unfortunate that Japan colonized Korea for a few decades and the lives lost... But its definitely interesting learning about revolutionary movements! I remember seeing other films that was depicted in this era as well ( ). I would love to see more korean films because they are short and meaningful - thinking abck to when I studied abroad to Korea and took a cinema class and viewed several korean films that are not on mainstream media.. Its pretty unfortunate that these amazing films arent being showcased and also because Korea doesnt allow it to be streamed outside of its country.... One film that is worthy to watch is Ode To My Father. Its such a meaningful film and very emotional and sad.... Family orientated and how society has shifted away from family...

Anyways, these characters/actress/actors were phenomenal and delivered well. I like how the story/plot unfolded and we slowly learned pieces of what happened in the past.

Jannila Jun 14 2017 2:45 pm This drama is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. Like honestly, I've been a Kdrama fanatic for awhile now and never have I once wrote about how good a drama is. I love this drama and it makes me sad that I have finished it. The sad and touching scenes made me cry lots. Hui Young is so fucking hot.

Jenny Jun 11 2017 6:35 pm It was such an amazing drama! I laughed and cried a lot...beautiful from the start until the end... though I wish it will not come to end. Wahhh I want more from yo ah in and lim so Jung! Love their chemistry! And also kudos to ku gyong pyo I do love his acting in here! This drama deserves an award!surely will always remember this drama. Kamsamida!

Keightie Jun 11 2017 9:42 am A masterpiece. Nicely written. An Art. Ive never been a fan of a writer for drama. I sure do love kdramas. I've enjoyed quite a number. But this one even deserves to be written in a book and get published.

Keightie Jun 11 2017 9:40 am surely a masterpiece. Nicely written. An Art. i've never been a fan of a writer. Sure love kdramas but the store is even worthy to be published as a book.

serenejazz Jun 11 2017 2:04 am This drama sets a high bar for me. Aside from its awesome plot and character development through the series, what I like the most is it takes viewers to see war from a different perspective. How simple love and friendship story can be so poignant just because of different time period. Cinematography and OST are also on point.

In a nutshell, it's a drama that is worth watching even if you're not a Kdrama watchers (cause neither do I, but oh boy am I so glad to find this gem).

Serenejazz Jun 10 2017 9:58 pm Have never been a huge fan of k drama, but if all k dramas are as good as this one i don't mind sacrificing few hours of my sleep just to marathon them. This drama sets a high bar and will stay for so long with me. It has substance, on top of its curious plot. The pain of having to set aside your personal feeling during war felt so real. And i love the characters development through the series. The technical side and ost of the drama is a huge bonus. Plus the three main lead characters are great actors and actress! I would definitely rewatch this <3

Rose1234 Jun 10 2017 4:57 pm By far one of my favorite k-drama. I feel like this isn't a typical love story...and in my opinion this drama is not a romance drama. I think the screenwriters didn't want to write a typical romance drama but a drama about friendship, trust, and hope. The chemistry between the three principal characters is so intense that you can't do anything else but love them. Han Se Ju and Yoo jin O bromance is just amazing.They both love each other so much, and because of that I cried many times (especially at episodes 15-16). They make you laugh threw every episodes. The love-triangle between Han se ju Yoo jin o and Jeon Seol is just fantastic. The love story of Han se ju and Jeon seol is so emotional (especially in their past lives). The love that Yoo jin o has for Jeon seol is so intense,and so cute. He loves her so much even though he knows that he can't have her. He only wants to protect her and cherish her by all means. I highly recommend this drama. If you are searching for a drama that makes you smile, laugh,cry(all kinds of emotion:) )....you better watch it, because if you don't you really are missing something...(but i'm not forcing you to watch it..nooooo) -And don't look at the ratings...they are ridiculous...the drama is worth to win a award...

@evrythngklover Jun 09 2017 5:36 pm I've been waiting for this since I'm a Yoo Ah In fan. I wasn't expecting that by the end of episode 1, I will be so hooked. It's rare that the three characters will have an awesome chemistry. And they have it. A lot of it. They portrayed the role amazingly. The story line, the actors and the osts (which give me goosebumps everytime I listen to it) are all great. I can't and won't move on from this drama. Job well done for the staff and crew.

nancy Jun 09 2017 5:34 am @winry Me to .....my main reason to watch this drama yoo Jin oh......His feelings emotions expressions. .....Every time when his eyes full of tears make me cry.......whenever he luk at her his expressions. ...I don't have words to explain his superiority. .......His love...sacrifice. ....friendship. ......I love it...... I hurt the most when he shot by su hyeon that ending scene of episode make me hurt so much.... Satellite ost..I love it

RK Jun 09 2017 4:41 am This rekt me!!! I love this drama with all my heart and my bookworm ass loves all the literary references! -spoilerish- yul's death scene reminded me of hemingway's quote: "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." :0 This show was so perfectly executed, I'm dead! And the writing, man, the writing! All the parallels, the foreshadowing, so daaaamn good. This drama holds my heart unconditionally. Will always love.

Eskimo Jun 08 2017 9:05 am Thoroughly enjoyed this drama! So glad I head blindly into this drama without much prior knowledge of its plot and it was a pleasant surprise. There's something melancholic about an uncompleted dream of one's past live, and its especially poignant here. I cannot comprehend how much sadness and regre the three main characters must have had to led them to meet again in the present time. Chicago Typewriter is a modern day fairytale no doubt. A classic.

Winry Jun 08 2017 4:33 am I don't want to rant or something, its just that I don't understand why were the ratings for this drama is so low? I can't comprehend what made them not watch this drama? Anyhow, this drama is one of the best I've watch so far. I've been watching korean dramas since forever, its like part of my system now that I can really segregate the good ones and the so-so dramas. I literally cried my eyes out for the sadness I felt for Yoo-jin's character, my heart is with him even after I finished the drama. Actually, this is my second time that I liked the second lead character more than the lead actor. Its not that I dont like Se-joo, but the story made me love more the character and the story of Yoo-jin. You can say I really felt the agony, longing, sadness, love and struggle of Yoo-jin in all and every aspect. He was torn between his loyalty and his love for his comrades, its so painful to watch that I need to pause and cry for a while since its too difficult to continue with my eyes so blurry and my sobbing and all.lol. This drama don't deserve to have such a low rating, though I hipe people wont judge the drama for its "rating" and still try to give the show a shot. Nevertheless, I give my two thumbs up fot Chicago typewriter, it's creator/writer, the director and crew and the characters/actors of course. Special mention to Yoo-jin who made me love this drama even more and even made me skip work just to finish this. Hahahahah! Kudos! <3

kuki Jun 07 2017 12:12 pm I don't care about ratings , ratings most of the time are nothing to relate dramas quality ! this drama is now above every drama I have watched since 2006 ! Ko gyung pyo such an actor I can't stop myself from feeling sad now when I see his face I can't separate between him and Yoo Jin O <\3 it is rare now to watch a drama fully to the end without feeling bored. so pure and clean relationships

nancy Jun 07 2017 7:20 am I love this drama because of Ko gyung pyo and yoo ah in...... Yoo Jin oh character I like the most....His expressions....cuteness. ....everything I like it......friendship of both the leads ...love it What hurts the most.....shin yul...shot by su hyeon...she didn't even shed a tear when she came to know she shot yul..In last episode Whenever yoo Jin oh luk at seol his eyes always full of tears..... He love her so much........love in this life will not be forget in next life.....satellite love thru the rain to the stars.......ost of drama best

Farida Jun 06 2017 9:55 pm Yes, I agree with Samantha, Who cares for the rating when you totally enjoy the ride.

Jenn Jun 06 2017 3:09 pm Fyi, in korea, drama with 2% ratings on tv cable like tvN, jtbc, etc is good enough and it's like 10% in normally. Most people are misunderstanding bout this. And I'm not finishing it yet because i don't want the story end. I need more episodes i'm crying need that. Chicago typewriter is truly stole my heart??? osts sound good i love all the participants on this drama especially mr. Jin soo wan. I'll be waiting ur next project. Good job

TouchHeart Jun 06 2017 1:02 pm Ah what can i say? This drama really touched my Heart. It's the first drama that can make me cry and really touch my heart deeply. The memory of the past always gives such a bittersweet taste. I don't care about ratings since i always like underrated dramas. When j tried to watch high ratings dramas like goblin, DOTS, i just cannot relate much and dropped the drama midway. Sorry to fans who love those dramas. But i really lose hope with high rated dramas coz i never like it. So i never trust rating system. I have been dropping too many high recommended dramas halfway because most of dramas started off well only to disappoint me in the end. I am glad to find this drama. This one is sure a gem that shines over time in each episodes, it just getting better and better until the last episode. I never have to skip anything. The ost is also beautiful, i bought the album from itunes. Thank you to the writer. Keep up the good job. I'll still be continuing watching your dramas from paid legal channel to support your work. Thank you once again.

Sheyla A. Jun 06 2017 10:51 am This was such a good drama, the acting was on point! The story was well written, it made sense, it was moving and it was inspiring. I can say it changed my view on history as more than a recollection of statistics and facts, it made it about the heart of the people making it. I am grateful Korean dramas are able to touch the hearts of people while remaining clean. Thank you!

Samantha Jun 06 2017 8:04 am Who cares for the rating when you totally enjoy the ride? I love this drama along with the unique plot, all the cast are perfect and beautiful. I feel bad to those who doesn't want to see this drama, you lost one of the best.

BeautifulSwana Jun 06 2017 3:35 am I just re-watch the first and second episode of this drama, and i still have goosebumps every time that soundtrack plays in the background with their scenes in the past.I really adore this drama. One of the best female lead characters i have seen out there. I am still having goosebumps now while typing it, words cannot describe how beautiful and real their friendship is.

Zahra El-fajr Jun 06 2017 2:21 am this is the best K-Drama after Goblin for me:') I mean, all of writers should watching this drama!

evanessa Jun 05 2017 2:25 pm WOW!!Youth,love,friendchip!!I felt like i am there,my heart it's still beating!!Memories of the past its precious...

Nikki Jun 05 2017 2:02 pm I've been getting my friends to watch along in Canada and we love it. I've never missed a single episode! We also loved learning about Korea during the war and being introduced to the culture. Love this show!!! I tell everyone about it and sing along to the songs even though I don't speak a word of Korean! :D

Lang Jun 05 2017 11:50 am One of the best drama! I love how they wrote the story and their dialog. Actors are superb. Sad that this already ended but loveed the ending.. ?????? Thank you! ❤️

Rebel Jun 05 2017 9:33 am I love this drama, unfortunately it's only 16 episodes.. It would be great if there'll be season 2 for this drama. Maybe tell us what will happen to Yul after he went back, how he sealed himself to the novel, maybe he could change his fate and a lot more! This will be one of my favourite K-Drama of all time! Thank you!

Lili Jun 05 2017 7:40 am This drama is super ! Both the lead Actor are great Actor & the lead actress is so pretty and natural. She is very much better than IU for sure !

powefugi Jun 04 2017 8:07 pm After confusing start at episode 1&2 i finally catch up again at episode 11&12 thx to frens continuing downloading the drama. Felt really lucky that i didn't missed it. Kudos to the writer, director, actor, all productions staffs...along the beautifully addicting OSTs. Memory of the past is always so precious...when u add to it patriotism, brotherhood n beautiful slice of life...it really is almost perfection. 9/10 for this drama for me. I'd say slightly better than goblin. It's been a really great experience tvN. Till next drama... ^_^

T Jun 04 2017 6:55 pm I would like to thank everyone who were involved in this amazing project. This drama never disappoints me, except for its consistently change of time slot and its low ratings, but without these flaws, this drama would be perfect! I feel so sad for its end and I never want to say goodbye to this show. I hope we could all get over this drama and I hope that the future of these great stars would get better. Fighting!!!

Myung Jun 04 2017 2:23 pm The main three characters (Han Se-Joo, Jeon Seol, Yoo Jin-O) were beautiful. The story line was outstanding. The character development from the beginning to the ending was excellent. The beautiful friendship they shared; from their past life to their present life was heartwarming. This drama moved my heart and whole being. I loved it. I will watch this drama again.

Vanessa Jun 03 2017 6:18 pm Otoke? Wae? I don't understand how the ratings in Korea are so low for this drama...I love all the episodes. The storyline about freedom fighters and the cast are perfect!!! I was already a fan of the two leads but everyone get to shine in this drama. TvN kdramas are always on point. I wish I could just subscribe to this channel. And Roy Kim with the OST theme song kill me...it is playing on repeat in my car. I will miss this drama...I have to buy it ?

Anjela rai Jun 03 2017 11:09 am One of the great drama i have watched so far..I want more episodes. Yoo ah in has done a great job as always,he never lets me down. Lim soo jung and Ko gyung pyo were awesome. I would love to see them again soon..

Jan May 31 2017 10:33 am I watch it because of Go Kyun Pyo. But now Im so in love with this drama that I dont want it to end!! It was so frustrating seeing how they give up their love back in 1930. The story is perfect. Im so in love with the ost and the storyline. So sad how underrated this drama is.

Bipashna May 31 2017 7:48 am This drama is just awesome. Perfect acting, perfect story,just perfect. I can't get enough of this drama, obsessing over it.

Bipashna May 31 2017 7:43 am I am obsessing over this drama. Can't wait for the next episodes.The story line and their acting is just awesome. I just don't want it to end .

Andrea May 31 2017 7:35 am Love this drama. Love the nation pride and derp friendships. The time lapse is excellent and compelling. The cast is outstanding!!!

nancy May 31 2017 6:29 am I love this drama. . Yoo Jin oh....The ghost I like the most....... I wish happy ending for him

sivani lloyd May 30 2017 9:27 am This is an amazingly well written and acted drama...that should be sweeping the ratings with it's time shifts from the Japanese occupation to present. The device of remembering bits and pieces of their previous lives as freedom fighters to recreate their story and the mystery of why the ghost is in the 30's typewriter is both clever and compelling. This is a must watch for serious Korean drama lovers!!!

Tiffs May 29 2017 9:45 pm I hope this drama is going to be 20 eps oh my god just don't wanna this end very soon

myung_soo May 28 2017 5:56 am woah the storyline, role played by each character and action is really super awesome. I just got goosebumps at the last stage scene ? daebak

Jun May 19 2017 7:30 am This is a must watch drama!!!!!!! Everything is so perfect! Not even a single episode is boring.

anna May 19 2017 6:22 am Wtf this is so freakin genius everything about this drama is so perfect, the storyline, the characters, even the osts like seriously this is the best drama i've ever seen in my whole life. Shoutout to the writer!

hazel May 19 2017 5:22 am I love this drama so much that I can't fking wait for the next episode that I watch it live. I stream this drama live can't you believe that. This is my first time watching a drama from live streaming. THIS DRAMA IS BEYOND AMAZING. ITS ON ANOTHER LEVEL I SWEAR

Wendy May 18 2017 9:30 am The plot is amazing. The casts are amazing. It is interesting, vey interesting that it makes me almost too eager to wait for the next episode. I think this is absolutely one of the best drama i have ever seen despite the rating. I love it sooooooo much!!

Tuti May 18 2017 2:46 am A genius work. I just love the intertwined plots. Love all the cast. Totally deserves better rating.

Pom May 17 2017 11:04 pm The time slot for this drama is killing me. Can't u not include this drama to the "Changes". Btw, y'all better watch this drama, extra-ordinary in all things.

kyutibogum May 17 2017 10:58 am I dont know why this drama get a low rating, cause i think the plot is great, casts also great, yoo ah in skill's no need to doubt about it. They have a good chemistry, the past life feeling is good. Don't compare it to another tvn's hits drama. This drama have a different plot so not everyone like it. Because it is not common

Nay May 16 2017 11:00 pm Chicago Typewriter is currently my favorite K Drama because all of its elements from actors 'til plot are great! The writer should be a genius. How they put the war vibe with brownish tone on the scenes and how the actors play their role has made me burst in tears sometimes. I can feel their joy and sadness, how they love each other.

And the 9th episode is daebak. I mean, Daebakkk!

Lib May 15 2017 11:46 pm Certainly, a must watch drama.

Zhilaa May 15 2017 6:12 pm Amazing movie. Everything's perfect. Actors, script, sountrack, every little thing in this drama so much perfect mix and match. So in love this drama. The best drama i've ever seen in my life.

Kunsang May 15 2017 6:29 am Yoo ah in is really handsome. His acting is really good and this drama is must watch..

mela May 13 2017 4:55 pm highly recommended!!

if you are a kdrama lover, you need to watch it. this drama has everything! Amazing Script, story, cast, production, directing, osts, everything about Chicago Typewriter is just more than perfect!!! one of the best kdramas I´ve ever seen. its just sooo perfect that i cant even explain. definitely deserves better ratings

derpish May 11 2017 9:56 am oh i love this drama, definitely the type of movie that i would love to sacrifice my finals to watch this (which i did). Everything, i repeat, everything is so well thought that i dont think i want to watch the next episodes and die to watch them at the same time. It's so good that im afraid if the next episodes turn out to be lower than my expectation, i would be so so sad and disappointed. The plot is so nice, not to mention it focuses on a topic that i love: writers, people who write to make a living. Each character is well built with details and history, and although most of the times i hate those previous life kinda thing, this is actually nice and touching. Love how the characters show themselves through actions and words. And although there's some fantasy here and there, this drama still mostly focuses on the reality, and that just makes it so much more brilliant. Definitely A Must Watch!!

Jungey May 11 2017 6:28 am Is anyone could tell me what's application that they used for publishing Han Seju's story on online apps? Kakao what? Please, tell me. Thank you!

hmmmmm May 11 2017 2:01 am i cant wait to see ep 9&10? too long plz:(

MVGVICKY May 10 2017 6:35 am Worth spending my time watching this drama....highly recommended...i hope this will not end like a crupt ending...so excited for the next episode..

Suju May 09 2017 10:10 am Highly Recommended too!! Diverse in everything: plot, characters, actors & actresses, don't forget the OSTs and others. Every ep has this deep meaning that you shouldn't miss.

Tachibana_Mei May 09 2017 9:04 am Highly Recommended!!!

This drama is not your typical one! The story plot, cast, are all amazing. I'm speechless! A very good one indeed.

Pinklanguage May 08 2017 10:37 am My favorite drama in this year!

Yoo Ah In lover May 08 2017 4:35 am I totally addicted to this drama... I hope this drama get more rating and lover... Can't wait for the next ep.. The love line is little bit sloww.. I hope i can see more han se ju and jeon seol moment.. Ship them~~~??

Wanti K. Pratama May 07 2017 8:38 pm can't wait the next episode XD

Ann Mary May 07 2017 6:37 am I love this drama so much!! One week is too long, I can't wait to watch the new episodes!!

Mau May 07 2017 4:59 am Superb plot, cast, osts, everything.

Alfrianti May 05 2017 11:26 pm this drama will not aired this week.. ahhhh so disapointed.. i already waiting 1 one week for this T.T

Sapphire May 04 2017 9:21 am I love the drama. The cast, the plot and how the stars protray their characters is superb. Most importantly, since this drama has a lot of romantic scenes, the chemistry of the leads! It is a pain to wait every saturday and sinday to watch it - with subtitles on it.

Bismo Anugrah May 03 2017 4:53 am this drama to remember with drama story of The Legend Of Blue Sea, this drama awkward or back to time past... Han Se-Joo and Jeon Seol the couples of this drama makes me suspicious for the next episode until final episode will they (Han Se-Joo and Jeon Seol) first kiss and so romantic with their couple... but this drama is recommended and so many questions for the past time will they can make manuscript serial novel until final manuscript... I hope they will make auditions and so romantic

soryuu13 May 02 2017 3:58 am Beautiful drama - from the script, to the cinematography, to the soundtrack, and the acting - everything is just beautiful. It was never boring for me. I was hooked from the get go. I like that there are so many questions, as if it's a puzzle that will only be completed with that one final piece. It's funny, sad and heartfelt, and the way all those emotions are conveyed makes this drama a cut above the rest.

Sunbae May 01 2017 8:54 pm Maybe, first impression, boring. However, if you continue the drama it is soooo good. Highly recommended.

Jeon Seol May 01 2017 4:29 pm I recommend this drama. This drama is really good and funny. It kind of has a Goblin vibe. It looks like a movie and the plot is very unique

inasthea May 01 2017 2:45 am I was bored and a little confused while watching episode 1-4 and did not understand the story of this drama and regretted yo ahn in taking this drama , but after watching episode 5 I got interested and changed the rating of this drama as a good drama with acting quality Yo ahn In.

This drama for me nice plot, nice actors , nice Ost and very recommendable .

Tita Apr 30 2017 10:43 pm this drama is the bestttt!!! i know some ppl said that theyre get tired of reincarnation thingy but i know that i wont be dissapointed bcs of this one, and eventho many ppl said that do bong soon is better.. i think this drama deserve more attention thannn that dramaa~~ anyway i love YOO AH IN SOSOSOSOSOMUCH OMG

Pammo Apr 30 2017 6:43 pm I delayed watching this drama after ep 2 because I wasn't sure I would like it. It seemed a little slow and I just did not feel the chemistry. I just started episode 3 and I'm in obsession mode now. It is really Great!! The story line has begun to fill in and the various characters are finding their pace and it is intriguing. The acting is superb and after Whisper - this is now my drama competing for the best of 2017. Definitely worth watching.

Alfrianti Apr 30 2017 1:54 pm Episode 8 drive my heart crazy again and i have to wait for one week againn T.T

Ahhhhhhh my heart is hurts watching last scene on episode 8 T.T i don't even know which one relationship i have too support T.T SejuSeol or YooJinSeol

Natey Apr 30 2017 11:58 am I just finished watching eps 7-8 and I'm in love with this drama! Cant wait for the next eps and Yoo Ah In looks much cuter with his head mid bald than the past life version, it looks ordinary eventho he looks hot in it but still I prefer the present life version if him, he got the swag.

JH Apr 29 2017 9:56 pm Beautiful story - worth watching

HJ lee Apr 29 2017 7:36 am @Rhara , you should watch his other dramas (six flying dragon) and movie (The Throne and Veteran). After watch those three, you'll admire him more :)

      I am not his fans, but I really admire Yoo Ah In's acting skills. He is really an excellent actor. I watched Sungkyunkwan scandal which people started like him through that drama, but I more into yoochun at that time. I started like him since I watched  secret love affair.

HJ lee Apr 29 2017 7:18 am Episode 7 didn't aired last night??

nate Apr 25 2017 1:09 pm I'm in love with this drama the plot, the actors and the cinematography are amazing! The writer is a genius, the director is amazing, and the actors are making everything perfect! Yoo Ah In's acting in this drama is really amazing and his aura is so overwhelming I love how he plays the different personality perfectly, the way Jeon Seol portrays being a fan of Han Se Joo is so relatable haha and dont forget about how Kyung Pyo act mysteriously but cute at the same time! Cant get enough of this drama and i'm sure this is my favorite drama at the moment!

If you are looking for a drama that has a great plot, unpredictable storyline, great cinematography and amazing actors this one is for you.

Rhara Apr 24 2017 10:16 pm This drama is my 1st drama of Yo Ah In I'm watching. I never know that he is such a great actor. I really like him. Due to I really like reading books, I love the story line.

Lucky Apr 24 2017 5:22 am Yoo ah in such a great actor. His aura so overwhelming.

BJ Apr 24 2017 12:44 am episode 6 was awesome . I love this drama and suspense.

Mariam Apr 23 2017 9:46 pm If you are looking for a flawless drama with a genius writer, a brilliant director and a great and unmatchable cast....this is one, I guarantee you 100%

Guiltypleasure Apr 23 2017 8:39 am It supposed to be horror story , but I was gigling many times at ep 6. So many funny scenes lol :D

I think they drag the story too much, it so annoying and too long for se ju reject the fact of ghost presence and snobby toward seol. Maybe it is the reason people lazy to watch this and make the rating down. Just because I wanna watch Yoo Ah In and Gyung Pyo , it make me endure and still watch till now

Perifovea Apr 23 2017 7:41 am I dont know why rating for this drama is bad and drop for this weekend, i think this drama so perfect to watch with all visualization between classic and modern style, and then the plots until 6 episodes, still make me curious. Character han se ju so deep.

xiaxia Apr 23 2017 7:33 am I love everything here, I love how Yoo Jin Oh acts,I love the story between fangurl & Artist, Writers and Bookworms, Past & Present, it gives everything . The drama of my dreams finally has come. This drama is different from others. This is masterpiece. Please don't be Underrated <3

ToJPB Apr 23 2017 7:05 am To the person below.. JPB this is cable station. TVN is a pay TV channel. The rating is actually high and it received many praises ..

JPB Apr 23 2017 6:34 am I hope Koreans appreciate this drama as we did so far, the ratings are very disappointing despite of its incredible casts and storyline

hujanrintik Apr 23 2017 3:25 am I love the cast, I love the story line, I love the ost, this drama its really amazing

nanchi Apr 23 2017 12:50 am this drama full of mystery and i think it will being sad between yoo jin oh, han se ju and seol stories.

Antique Apr 22 2017 11:09 pm The 3 main actors actingg justtt soooo amazinggg.. its like we watching a movie not a drama..

lim Apr 22 2017 10:12 pm the yoo jin ah turned out ro be han se joo'sbest friend. in his past tho. lol eps 6 was hilarious yet the flashback quite sad. i guess yoo jin oh killed by seol in the past cuz yoo jin betrayed. han se joo. o mean like atole his novel may be. thats why he the only onewho trapped and diddidnt giving chamce to hv reincarnation just like se joo and seol did.

Daebakkkk Apr 22 2017 11:24 am Omg this drama is freaking awesome! I love all of them, especially Im Soo Young, congratz on ur coming back with drama!!! Hwaiting!!!

Guiltypleasure Apr 22 2017 6:41 am It doesn't need chemistry, just looking at yoo ah in himself can produce thousands butterflies in my stomach *ugh

anonim Apr 22 2017 5:35 am Can't wait for episode 6... I think Yoo Jin-O is the soul of the novel written by Han Se Joo, it may be that his soul is trapped in novel 'Chicago Typewriter' book written by Se Jo in the past, but the book is not resolved. That's why he wants Se Jo to finish it and make him come alive again or maybe it's in being a 'ghost' writer because there are things that have not been resolved in the past between Se Joo, Jin O and Seol and the novel that will tell everything. Ahh ... that's just a fantasy story in my brain ... hahha The author will probably give the plot unexpectedly, just patiently watch it and hope it eventually ends with a surprising story.

FULAN Apr 22 2017 2:44 am I reallu love this drama. the story is amazing and so different from others.

Alfrianti Apr 21 2017 9:26 pm @Andy, Thankyou for your answer.. I think you'r right then.. its just Han Se Jo not realize that He's father looking for something else and not to Yoo Jin. bytheway BangJin and Yoo Jin is cute too hahahaa i love their scene..

BUBBLY Apr 21 2017 12:45 pm You guys should watch ep 5, about Yoo Jin Oh will be answered in that ep!And I'm getting excited for tomorrow ep..

tiya Apr 21 2017 7:31 am i have the same opinions with @Andy's. but in point 6 as you stated, han se joo and yoo jin oh are the same person, i think they aren't. because back in eps 2 in past scene, han se joo and yoo jin oh were dancing together at a party. so i guess that they were actually 2 different people.

nanchi Apr 20 2017 7:24 am i agree with your theory, i genuinely amazed with their acting skills, the plot of this drama is very interesting but i still curious about yoo jin oh character.

lim Apr 20 2017 1:08 am am i the only one who thou that this yoo jin guy is actually the soul of typewriter? just like the soul that possessed to the dog? cuz the spoiler for eps. hesaid "keep writing, so that i can alive" also the cloth he wear and the style seem so old fashioned. and he said he fall for vt he 1st sight with the main actress after he came from usa. which was refering to the moment the typewriter handed to her in the airport by kim hana. the girl of a restaurant owner who was owned thetypwriter first. idk if you guys got what i mean or no. but lol sorry. t

nanchi Apr 19 2017 9:12 am iam amazed with their acting skills, i like the ost from baek yerinn ~ blooming memories

BBQMuppet Apr 18 2017 4:28 pm What I find odd and amusing is that if Yoo Jin Oh is "supposed" to be a ghost, why bother hiding at all? xD No one can see him besides a select few ppl.

Lucky Apr 18 2017 11:43 am I think Yoo jin ho jinjja 'ghost' writer. His father saw the draft not yoo Jin ho.

andy Apr 18 2017 9:03 am @Alfrianti He did not see yoo jin oh in han se joo's work room. My theory, he saw the draft of 'Fate' that han se joo had originally written and was published in baek tae min's name. If you notice, the father came to meet han se joo after readig baek tae min's manuscript.. so my guess he came to ask han se joo to write another book for baek tae min. But then when he enters the work room, he sees that han se joo still had the original first draft of Fate, therefore he gets annoyed and tells han se joo that he has things he shouldn't be keeping with him. Because he is afterall scared that han se joo can use that draft as bait to blackmail them. Also another hint the father did not see yoo jin oh is because usually if you find someone hiding in another persons house, wouldn't you ask that suspicious person who he is or what is he doing there?

Anyway I'm so excited you are as curious as me with this drama! The best for me in 2017!

MM Apr 18 2017 8:38 am Oh... the best one in a long while. Though I kinda like Defendant, I'm loving this. The cinematography is just out of the world. Everything, from picture to soundtrack to the story is just wonderful. I'm enjoying it very much. Try for an episode you'll know yourself whether it's your type or not.

MillaAY Apr 18 2017 12:22 am i watch this becouse Yoo Ah-In and Ko Gyung-Pyo, not even interest with the story, still don't get it what the main story in this drama (ep. 1-4 ) ? fortunally they have great actor, still waiting for the next episode..

Alfrianti Apr 17 2017 9:22 am @Andy

How about Baek taemin Father? He saw Yo Jin when he enter han sejo writing room right? Seriously i'm so addicted with this drama and keep coma back to this article to find another people with their comment abiut thus drama..

sharlene Apr 17 2017 8:28 am i'm loving this drama! the plot is interesting and i'm addicted from the very first episode ??

Michelle Apr 17 2017 5:47 am First impression i got boring, keep skipping till the middle of 2nd eps then just realized that this drama soooooooooo damn nice since end of eps 2. Then i decided to rewatch from begining and i addicted to this drama:(:(:(:( can't wait for next Fri&Sat. And thank TvN i got a new drama that replace Goblin

Koreanspoilers Apr 17 2017 5:44 am havent get a new drama that as good as Goblin since it end, but this drama will replace that emptiness feeling in my heart

andy Apr 17 2017 5:07 am @Alfrianti okay i rewatched all the four episodes to clarify it and some mystery of the drama and I've got more insights on the whole drama and it's quite exciting. To answer our question, manager ji sook admitted that he hired a ghost writer, but cancelled it when the draft was faxed in the morning. So he actually doesn't know anything about yoo jin oh...

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!

Now i just wanna post my theories: 1. Yoo jin oh is invisible to everyone except han se joo.

2. Yoo jin oh is the typewriter ghost, if you've heard the songs he listens to, it was the same in episode 1 where that white guy hears when he sees the typewriter is possessed.

3. That mother and her friend can see Yoo jin oh because the mother is a shaman and they share genes.

4. The writer is playing with our minds by showing converstions with manager ji sook and that guy who wants to frame han se joo. But if you clearly see it, they never really respond to any of his conversations...

5. Yoo jin oh is not a bad guy, because he wanted to protect han se joo, therefore he possessed that dog so that Seol could protect him.

6. If you noticed, there are hints that seol has shot someone in her previous life, and it's pointing at a blured image of han se joo- My guess, han se joo and yoo jin oh are the same people!

7. And hence it explains this point where in the preview of episode 5, yoo jin oh says that han se joo needs to write for him to be alive... meaning he is han se joo's passion (i.e. writing).

All these are just my theories.... but I'm kinda sure some of it makes absolute sense...

Alfrianti Apr 16 2017 10:47 pm I have the same question with @Andy i thought i have to rewatching episode 3 to understand it again.

Thandy Apr 16 2017 9:43 pm This drama is giving me life right now, it's so good .

nanchi Apr 16 2017 9:29 pm yoo jin oh is a ghost who come from the typewriter, people cannot see him.

pink_eden Apr 16 2017 2:32 pm I guarantee that it's really a good drama.At first I was hesitant to start watching it so I read some of the comments below and so far there were plenty of good feedbacks.So I started watching it the other day and now finish episode 4.So far the story is quiet interesting, and I couldn't help myself waiting for the next episodes.I hope this drama will be recognized because it's really good.This drama made me write a comment here which I don't normally do.So I highly recommend this drama.

andy Apr 16 2017 1:37 pm @popcorn and coke : you have a pretty good theory, i was just thinking the same thing... only you even connected the seol history part for me and i'm now certain that yoo jin oh is the typewriter.... thanks for the insight

And... SPOILER ALERT As an aspiring writer myself, episode 4 was so emotional for me, i cried! I love the cinematography of this drama. And for those of you who say this is a boring drama, I'm pretty sure you're here for just the romance, because i'll admit, the main girl is kinda irritating when she obssess with han se joo. But leaving that aside, i love the two main leads' past and present connection. Also, the suspense, and the jokes are brilliant! The storyline itself is unique and the cast are doing a fine job with this one.

One question though, if anyone can please clarify, didn't episode 3 show that manager ji sook admited that Chicago Typewriter manuscript was sent by a ghost writer? But then in episode 4 he denies it. Like han se joo is hallucinating.... it's confusing. Did i miss something?I

Anna Apr 16 2017 9:28 am Its so diffrent from other kdrama.. i really like it..!!! Specially Yo ah in and Ko gyungPyo acting skill are sooo DAEBAKK!!

So sad the rating at korea is not good.

Coke and popcorn Apr 16 2017 1:07 am I was right... Yoo Jin O is indeed a ghost...a literally ghost writer.. At first when i watched episode 3, i thought he was the one hired by Ji Seok but he said even though he wanted to hire one, he didnt do it because Se Joo already submitted the first script (the evidence is when he waited for Se Joo to fax his script..if he t a ghostwriter, he wouldnt wait and just call him immediately or he would know what was happening instead of just waitimg in vain for Se Joo).

I realized that Jin O was indeed a ghost at the end of drama when i was thinking who he really is and went back to watch his scenes when he talked to Ji Seok and the reporter.. If you can notice, Ji Seok and the reporter never really talked with him, they were just talking to themselves, why would i say that? They never, even once looked at Jin O.. when we talk to someone we look at them or if we dont want to we can just face them but in the case of Jin O, it was as if he didnt exist when Jin Seok was talking to himself ( also, if he really thinks the one who writes is the ghostwriter he contacted then it was not Jin O but someone else...i just know..i cant really explain everything right now).. also the reporter was obviously just talking to himself, when he laughed after Jin O said something, it was not because he heard him but the reporter really thinks Se Joo has a ghostwriter writing for him...

musw_ira Apr 15 2017 8:30 pm I will start to watch this drama when the episode 15 aired. Can't wait to see Yoo Ah In in this drama <3

dazzlingdizzy Apr 15 2017 7:40 pm i love this drama but i cringe when it comes to the cheesy scene. don't get me wrong its because i don't usually watch a comedy genre drama

1930 Apr 15 2017 11:37 am Damn this is good!!!

Jim sam yeon Apr 15 2017 9:40 am Daebak! this is a great drama. Saranghae Yoo Ah In <3

popcorn and coke Apr 15 2017 1:24 am My theory for this drama is that Jin O resides on the typewriter or he is the typewriter itself... i havent watched the 3rd episode, so my assumption is based on Seol's hallucination when she pointed the gun on the person typewriting in the past and she was going back and forth on whether it was Se Joo or Jin O... or maybe Jin O possess Se Joo because Se Joo was sure he was the typewriting the whole time.. i dont know, what i really just know is that this drama is daebak!!!.. first encounter with a concept like this..truly a masterpiece...

Natalie Apr 14 2017 2:15 pm I have been watching Kdramas since 2012. I have never watched a drama like "Chicago Typewriter"!!!! I love it!!!!

BeautifulSwan Apr 14 2017 12:11 pm Wow this is good!!!

northerngirl Apr 14 2017 9:30 am Yoo Ah In...best actor of his generation. and he's good looking with loads of charisma!!

Antique Apr 14 2017 1:09 am I love it!! I like it since epidode 1 thought.. its interesting!!

Uthie Apr 12 2017 10:08 pm The good point of this drama? Cinematography and the actors. But when i watch the drama, its remind me "the legend of the blue sea", The story about past and present life, with similar story and person. I really waiting the "things" that make me continue watch the drama. Is the writer similar with "kill me heal me"?, if similar i should try to keep watch the drama, i hope it will be better for next episode.

Seol Apr 11 2017 4:21 am Hmm..this will be exciting just like the goblin. Don't miss out.

IDG Apr 10 2017 2:15 pm I really wanted to like this drama, but I just couldn't get into it. Hated the acting or maybe I should say I didn't care for the characters. Maybe it will get better, but so far, not a fan.

Sun Apr 10 2017 9:43 am I'm actually sad that the first episodes rating is lower than Tomorrow With You ratings. This one is actually underrated and I blame the production team for not promoting it as widely as they can. This is the first time I'm actually interested in a 1930's Korean drama concept and it turned out so good? Yoo Ah In's acting is always top-notch, and again, it's what I've expected from Yoo Ah In's grand awards-worthy-acting skills. Let's also talk about Go Kyung Pyo, who's technically the 2nd behind Ji Soo (SWDBS) in Nation's 2nd Lead Actor. I can't wait for more from Go Kyung Pyo, believe me, I also have high hopes on him ever since Flower Boy Next Door. Ah, let's not also forget Lim Soo Jung, I can't wait for her to shine in the drama!

Trust me when I said it's going to be a good drama, this will never fail you. People usually drop this drama just because of the foreign concept, but I know it will do just good. Interesting concept, a good writer, what more could we ask? Watch it and be amused.

Kendall Park Apr 10 2017 9:36 am According to me it is very interesting drama, tells the story of the mystery behind the Chicago Typewriter filled with puzzles. Early episodes is quite satisfactory, from the story, the cast and its soundtrack also makes me eager for the next episode. I expect a lot of love line between Yoo Ah In and Im so Jung in this drama. Hopefully rating for the next episode is increasing! Fighthing guys :*

andy Apr 10 2017 7:40 am This was the most anticipated drama of 2017 for me and it's mind blowing! Yoo Ah In is super sexy with that hair style and that acting is slaying the drama! Love the mystery vibe and the historical effect, the director is doing a very good and hardworking job! A must watch! Can't wait the whole week for episode 3! Please

Ng n Apr 10 2017 4:18 am Ahjussi Jo woo jin here..

Miro Apr 08 2017 9:57 pm ... ah yeah, again Yoo Ah In, "the biggest star" for me another slain drama ... :(

Dlatte Apr 08 2017 8:38 pm The story is super b. I like every Yoo Ah In's role. It always matches to him. And also Lim Soo Jung is very beautiful.

Lucky Apr 06 2017 5:56 am omoh kwak si yang

huang jingyu Apr 05 2017 5:55 pm OMG cannot wait! I thought it was released today but what a bummer, I have to wait til friday (actually Saturday for the sub one)! All my favourite actors in here: Yoo Ah In, Go Gyung Pyo, Kwak Si Yang!!!!! GGP & KSY feels so bad for them always playing 2nd or 3rd lead where they could have been the lead -_- At least KSY had played a lead before but GGP??? :(

The storyline is interesting as well so I hope it will do well and not be boring...

seegorgeous Apr 04 2017 3:26 am Waahh. Yoo Ah in .. The veteran actor and one of my favorite of all time in six Flying Dragons.. Fighting!

Limon Mar 31 2017 10:24 pm i am gonna watch it because of Ko Gyung-Pyo. hope he got plenty screen time.

chunu Mar 31 2017 1:00 am I love his hair style .... wating ......

fel Mar 30 2017 2:13 am hella looking forward to this!!!

Grace Mar 29 2017 8:14 pm Welcome back Lim Soo Jung

aline Mar 29 2017 5:09 am Cant wait to see Yoo Ah In

Dindss Mar 28 2017 9:38 am A must watch kdrama. Cant wait to see my love Yoo Ah In

Danniah Mar 27 2017 8:03 am The casts are superb. They are all actors with good reputation, hit projects, and excellent acting.

I feel so relieved because they didn't cast any random idol to be the leads. I don't hate idol, there are many of them have good acting. But, Yoo Ah-in deserves professional actor/actress to balance his talents. Yoo Ah-in, Im Soo-jung, Ko Gyung-pyo... woahhh.. even Kwak Si-yang and Cheon Ho-jin? Seriously.. it's only natural to have high expectation. Like SFD and Sado, I bet this drama will leave big impression.

Nana Mar 27 2017 2:22 am what a funny poster

Ruby Mar 24 2017 12:49 pm Good to see Lim Soo-Jung making dramas again. Is Yoo Ah-In is preparing for military enlistment with his hair? He still looks handsome though.

CkyMnl Mar 24 2017 2:41 am Omo!Omo! Can't wait...Gyung-Pyo back in screen! Yey!

Karen Mar 23 2017 11:59 am What a horrid haircut!

Y Mar 21 2017 5:34 am Yes yes yes! Yoo Ah In+Go Gyung Po+Lim Soo Jung+(hopefully)Kwak Si Yang+Jo Woo Jin=???? they're all my favorites

Theary Chicharito Mar 20 2017 3:57 am Why my Ko Gyung-Pyo is not the main lead ???

Beauty Highlighter Mar 17 2017 11:16 am Our Yoo Ah In looks so amazing!!! Fighting Oppa =)

harmonyfb Mar 13 2017 11:26 am I expected this show to be a gangster drama, because 'Chicago typewriter' is an old-fashioned nickname for a Thompson sub-machine gun.

Ricky Mar 13 2017 3:39 am I'm really excited to see this

abbygee Mar 07 2017 11:13 am Can't wait for this drama, but to be honest I just want to see kwak siyang as I miss his acting so much, it's been a long time since the second last love

kiki Mar 05 2017 3:57 pm Yessss!!! One of my fav actor is back,Ko Gyung Pyo..deep manly voice! still gutted tho thinking about Jealousy Incarnate..you know,second lead syndrome is suck!

Just finished watching 'Perfect Proposal' Soo Jung,superb acting..as always!

Ann Mar 02 2017 7:51 am OMG cant wait this drama....there are two of my stars will playing in this drama...really really cant wait!!!YESSSS!!!

jillspills Mar 01 2017 4:49 am Way back in 2006 it was Su.Jeong.Im. who started me on all things Korean when I watched A Tale Of Two Sisters film and was bowled over by her performance. Went looking for other things she's done and found I'm Sorry, I Love You and was bowled over by So Jisub, her co-star. I was hooked and soon couldn't even stand to watch American actors or films or TV shows anymore, Korea's entertainment output is a million times better! Here I am 11 years and 313 Korean dramas completed and FINALLY Su is returning to the small screen. She always has great chemistry with anyone she works with so I predict this will be a big hit. So excited!

shanta Feb 28 2017 2:24 am woah her drama after 13 years? you gotta be kidding me

She Feb 24 2017 7:03 am Yoo Ah In and Im Soo Jung (yey!!!) I prayed that Park Shin Hye wouldn't be playing the female lead because it would be hard for me to watch it. But I so love Ain. will be waiting for this drama. better be good. :) hwaiting!!!

Faye Feb 22 2017 6:48 pm Ko Gyung Pyo better not be second lead

gy_ya Feb 22 2017 4:10 am Moon embracing the sun's writer..Oh my..that drama was just legendary my favorite historical drama ever and Im Soo Jung&Yoo Ah-In?? I'm gonna definitely watch it!!

Yen Feb 21 2017 10:31 am ah this interesting. Must be why Im Soo Jung is also taking part in this. I'm looking foward to it.

Dilu Feb 20 2017 11:16 pm Finally, Yoo Ah In and Im Soo Jung has confirmed for lead roles. I'm excited for Yoo Ah In. But why does he mostly have to romance noonas? Why can't he be paired someone who is close to his age?
