Worth the Watch
Yoo Ah In came and he ATE. Every scene he had he was doing the very most and totally outperformed everyone else. I mean damn.Now that I have that out of the way. This drama had such an interesting premise that grabbed my attention from the start. Plus, the production value was really, really good (especially the scenes in the past). I will say that I started this, loved it so much, got to episode 10 or 11 and got really bored with it. I put it aside for months and when I came back to it, it sucked me back in. I think having that break was helpful and made the story feel fresh when I came back to it.
As for the drama itself: the past storyline was heartbreaking and the present was interesting and fun. I actually almost liked the past versions of the characters better than the ones in the present. I think that might be why this drama is lacking a little. It's almost like the past storyline didn't quite blend correctly with the present one, or maybe it's that the past was a bit more interesting to me.
Not really sure what I'm trying to say, but this is definitely worth a watch!

chicago typewriter - tragically beautiful
it took me quite long to finish the first 6 episodes, the flow went a bit slower and duller than the rests. but trust me, last 10 episodes were a revolution, a beautiful tragedy being illustrated by the actings of our main characters.the drama successfully told us the past story in parallel with the present. it also reminded us to appreciate the peaceful world we are living in - 'cause many fighters had laid down for us. in the past, the 1930s, seo hwiyoung - a writer - could not write down his thought; ryu suhyun - a sniper - had to pretend to be a man, try to make herself as worthy as possible. it was because they were in the match of finding their freedom, their country's freedom.

Don't give up on the first half.
Just why did I put this off for 2 years. Anybody wondering if they should watch this, do yourself a favour and WATCH.The acting by the leads, the villain, the sides: they really did the story justice.
For what I didn't love about the drama- The first half could be a bit slow but it's worth the wait. Han Se Ju's character gets crazy infuriating at some points. Not to mention his hair. But it's understandable as you learn more about him. Yes, theres a reason he keeps his hair that way lol. Along with this it would be sooooo much better if they added in more moments from their past life.
Now that that's out of the way lets focus on the good.
There's something about the past versions of the leads that can make you feel so much for them. As a viewer found it incredibly easy to understand them and their suffering. Ended up laughing with them and also crying like never for a drama before. Again, props to the actors. Especially Seo Hui Young, the overflowing charm. Too bad he's fiction.
They really smashed the details in this drama. Such well written plots with close to no plot holes is not easy to come across.
In conclusion, it's a masterpiece.

The OSTs are truly heartwrenching, goes well with the storyline. The dialogues were wonderful, and the characters made an impact on me while watching it.
The actors were pretty good which got me hooked up from the start. The plot has its fair share of twists, which make you go crazy and had to restlessly wait for the answers on the following episodes. I love on how it ended the way it ended. I could not be more happier than this.
To be honest, I didn't know that I would be this impressed by the drama when I first started this off. The storyline drawed me into the journey to the point that I didn't skip any of scenes throughout this one hell of a roller coaster ride.
Simply beautiful. Most recommended. Trust me, you won't regret watching this one.

SO UNDERRATED, WATCH THIS IF YOU HAVENT
This show deserves more hype, its so UNDERRATED. The depiction of young fellas who sacrificed their youth and life for the freedom of their country is always sensitive. Many of the countries have achieved freedom through such sacrifices. we couldn't be more thankful to those freedom fighters that we live in an Independent country. A melomance about three friends who sacrificed their youth for Nations freedom. And come together despite the time and space difference to redeem their karma in the present timeLIKED:
- The performances of Im Soo-Jung and Gu Kyung-Pyo are excellent. and as always Yoo Ah-In is exemplary,
- The past and present scenes have been shot and executed very well. The drama is very well edited
- it is written very cleverly as the past gets revealed very with the present time story is moving, it's very gripping since the start. The climax is quite excellent and very effective
- Music is amazing and lovely. just updated my playlist. Satellite by SaltnPaper is beyond my feelings.
-Books, the use of books in almost every background is so beautiful.
DISLIKED
-couldn't find any.
FAVOURITE SCENE
-When Yoo Jin Oh was watching TV and Han Se Joon was thinking loudly - Ep 9
QUOTES
-I would rather let someone steal my writing than take credit for someone else work - Han Se Joon (YAI)
-Guns Aren't the only thing that can save the world - Roo Soo Hyun(ISJ)
-No matter which era you live in life is agony, there is no such thing as a perfect world. Every era has its own problems and thing you want to resist. We resist, struggle, fight and win. That is how we shape the world we live in.
REWATCH: Its a must
RECOMMENDATION: If you have this in your PTW, just watch it. the freedom fighters of past and present love stories are worth watching.

CONCRETE STORY & SATISFYING FLOW
This is one of a kind series, an amazing story, and has solid elements.Chicago Typewriter never fails to impress me. Every episode leaves you intrigued. Everything — the plot is perfectly planned. No plotholes and you wouldn't dare to skip a bit to miss a single second. It's wrapped up very pleasantly.
The trio is holding great chemistry and performance. Each of the characters has their own charm. Seemingly how they helped each other to unfold the truth, even they were attached in their previous lives, it's the friendship who was holding them each other. I'm so in love with their scene together having fun in Carpe Diem, so precious.
One of my favorites, I declare TT

NOTA GERAL: 8,7/10
Uma obra criativa. Apesar de suas falhas, recomendo fortemente que todos assistam, principalmente se você é fã de romances históricos e de sobrenatural, como eu.• História (9/10): Que história! Essa obra possui um roteiro comovente, cheio de reviravoltas e momentos de partir o coração. O romance é legal, apesar de eu preferir o bromance. Eu apenas queria que algumas coisas tivessem sido contadas de maneira mais subliminar, diálogo expositivo demais fica cansativo e parece subestimar um pouco a perspicácia do telespectador.
• Visual (8,5/10): O único defeito da parte visual é que alguns efeitos especiais não são muito bem-feitos (e o corte de cabelo do protagonista no passado era preferível ao do presente), entretanto, a ambientação e a direção são impecáveis.
• Som (8,5/10): Uma ótima e emocionante seleção musical.
• Personagens (8,5/10): Pra começar, devo dizer que o vilão desse dorama é muito bem desenvolvido. Não é um simples rival amoroso que tortura o protagonista com a única justificativa de causar drama (e alongar) a história ou preencher a lacuna de antagonista que parece tão essencial para que uma obra seja considerada “completa”. O vilão é, de fato, uma pessoa, e um personagem crucial (e não uma ferramenta) que interfere tanto ativamente quanto passivamente no andamento da história, tendo seus próprios objetivos exteriores aos personagens principais. E ele, com sucesso, vai conseguir fazer você odiá-lo. Também devo dar créditos aos personagens Han Se Joo e Yoo Jin Oh, que são simpáticos e formam uma dupla muito divertida. Fico contente por eles não serem os típicos homens unidimensionais de romances e por terem mais de uma expressão facial. Já a Jeon Seol é um pouco tapada no começo, mas ela fica menos irritante depois (mesmo eu não tendo me apegado muito a ela).
• Entretenimento (9/10): Chicago Typewriter vai te deixar muito curioso e aflito a todo segundo e você não conseguirá resistir a clicar no próximo episódio.

Two words: WATCH IT!
One of the most underrated kdramas out there. There are so many amazing things about this drama that it's hard to know where to begin—the plot, the characters and their development, the romance and friendships, the lessons they teach about life. And not to mention the main reason I watched this drama for: YOO AH IN. He's the best actor of his generation IMO, but somehow he doesn't seem to have the same mass appeal as some of the more popular actors his age. Chicago Typewriter is one of those dramas that linger in your head and heart long after you've completed the show—because it's that good! And this is coming from someone who usually shies away from fantasy dramas and prefers realistic/slice-of-life dramas (unless it's 100% fantasy and set in a fantasy world, instead of awkwardly mixing magical elements with real-life situations).Chicago Typewriter had just the right amount of fantasy without making it too unrealistic and hard to follow. The music, fashion, character development, plot etc. was top-notch. The mix of drama genres were expertly blended—I feel like a lot of dramas try to do this but most do it very awkwardly and the action/mystery parts feel out of sync with the romcom parts, for example. I agree with some people here that I loved the flashback scenes more, even though the current scenes were equally as important to the plot. The story sucks you in and makes you so emotionally invested that you don't have a choice but to keep watching more. My heart was not prepared for how heartbreaking the last few episodes were.
