Chicago Typewriter is a 2017 Korean drama series that follows the story of three individuals who are bound together by a mysterious typewriter. The show features an excellent cast, including Yoo Ah-in as Han Se-joo, Lim Soo-jung as Jeon Seol, and Go Kyung-pyo as Yoo Jin-oh.

The show is set in contemporary Seoul, but it also goes back in time to the 1930s when the country was under Japanese occupation. Han Se-joo is a renowned writer who suffers from a severe case of writer's block. He is struggling to write his next novel and is haunted by his past, particularly the trauma he experienced during his childhood.

Jeon Seol, on the other hand, is an unemployed woman who loves to write. She is a gifted writer but has never been able to achieve her dream of becoming a published author. Instead, she has to settle for a job as a ghostwriter for other people's books.

The two of them are brought together by Yoo Jin-oh, a mysterious man who appears out of nowhere and seems to know too much about Han Se-joo's life. Yoo Jin-oh claims that he is a ghost, but Han Se-joo doesn't believe him until Yoo Jin-oh manages to produce a typewriter that Han Se-joo used when he was a child.

The typewriter is no ordinary typewriter, however. It is a Chicago Typewriter, a legendary device that is said to have supernatural powers. Yoo Jin-oh claims that the three of them are bound together by the typewriter, and that they are connected across time and space.

As the story progresses, the three of them find themselves embroiled in a series of mysteries and conspiracies that lead them to re-evaluate their pasts, presents, and futures. The show jumps back and forth between the present and the past, revealing the secrets of the Chicago Typewriter and the people who used it.

Han Se-joo discovers that his past is not what he thought it was, and that he has a connection to the Korean independence movement of the 1930s. Jeon Seol learns that her family has a long history of involvement in the resistance against Japanese occupation, and that her grandfather was a close friend of Han Se-joo's grandfather.

As the three of them work together to unravel the mysteries of the Chicago Typewriter, they find themselves facing off against powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden. The show is a thrilling mix of action, romance, and mystery, with plenty of plot twists and surprises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

One of the standout features of Chicago Typewriter is its excellent cast. Yoo Ah-in delivers a powerful performance as Han Se-joo, capturing his tortured inner world and the pain of his past. Lim Soo-jung is equally impressive as Jeon Seol, bringing both strength and vulnerability to her role.

Go Kyung-pyo is a wonderful addition to the cast, providing much-needed comic relief as the quirky and enigmatic Yoo Jin-oh. The chemistry between the three leads is excellent, with each actor bringing their unique strengths to the table.

In conclusion, Chicago Typewriter is an excellent drama series that will appeal to fans of action, romance, and mystery. The show features a talented cast, a compelling storyline, and plenty of surprises to keep viewers engaged. Its unique blend of the present and the past, along with its use of a legendary typewriter, makes it a must-watch for anyone looking for a fresh take on the K-drama genre.
