A relate book by an addict.
***
This book is dedicated to all the Korean Drama fans who have shed blood and tears while waiting for the next episode. I know the struggle. The looks. The scorn. The 'are they Chinese?' comments from ignorant people.
...
I haven't written a special post for a single drama so far. But this one deserves it. The drama is beautiful, breathtaking, phenomenal and each synonymous word in the dictionary. It will make you long for a time you have never lived, long for friends that there were never yours, and just hauntingly leave its trace in your thoughts.
CHICAGO TYPEWRITER
About writers who lived in the 1930's Japanese occupation of Korea, and are reincarnated into the present as a best-selling writer in a slump, a fan, and a ghostwriter.

Thankfully, internationally, it did gain recognition. I'm not too sure about Korea, but I bet, those who saw it will know it's a gem. Though it wasn't as thrilling as Signal. They have different categories, but in my eyes, both share an equal amount of appreciation.
Some dialogues:

조국은 빼앗겼지만 나에게서 문장을 빼앗을 순 없어
Even though my country has been taken away, they can't take my words/sentences away from me.
글을 쓸수 없다면 난 유령이나 다름 없으니까
If I cannot write, then I'm no different from a ghost.
The drama was about writers; which was another element that made its pull stronger for me. The dialogues were like books themselves. They were that good. If I wasn't so immersed in the story, I would have been jotting them down for inspiration.
All in all, GO WATCH THIS DRAMA! It might not suit some people's tastes but I believe there are enough elements that would make you like something.
AND THE KISS SCENES
*ahem* So, should I do something for my country today? ;)
AND IF NOTHING, THEN I MIGHT HAVE TO ATTACK YOU WITH THIS:
