MORE

Chicago director Typewriter once said that it is difficult to classify this film into a specific genre when melodrama, historical and fiction elements are present in the film. However, it can be seen that romance is still the "backbone" that the story of Chicago Typewriter is relying on the most. However, once again, they are the old aunts who outperform the modern aunts in terms of "cheesy", although the amount of time spent on them is much less. It may still take some time for the main couple to create more sympathy, at least until the character Han Se Joo is less crazy. The character most curious to date is Yoo Jin Oh, played by Go Kyung Pyo. As the most mysterious person in the story in the previous life, who is also not officially revealed in this life, Yoo Jin Oh is an interesting unknown that makes viewers stay waiting for the next episodes of Chicago Typewriter.
