Another fantastic Netflix K-Drama. I don't know how it has so few reviews! I started this show on a whim but ended up completely blown away by how unique and gorgeous it was in practically every sense. If you are a K-Drama fan, you come to expect at least a few recycled tropes here and there, but this one had very few (except for perhaps the love triangle). The plot, the music, the cinematography, and the acting by the main trio was just wonderful (especially Yoo Ah-In, the main lead).

The film is split between two plots: one centering around a haunted typewriter in the modern era, and the other a story about a group of Joseon/Korean freedom fighters in the 30's. It has more than a few similarities to Mr. Sunshine (another show I highly recommend), and though significantly shorter, the emotions it stirs up are still strong. Also, despite the increasingly heavy story, the film still manages to offer flashes of comedy and lightheartedness.

If you like K-Drama, Historical Dramas and are wondering if you should give it a chance, I can't imagine how you could be disappointed. Highly recommended!

ROMANCE RATING: 9/10. There aren't many kiss scenes, but unlike the average K-Drama "pecks," these kisses make up in intensity whatever they lack in quantity. I also thought the chemistry between the leads was totally believable and compelling.

The story, the acting, the soundtrack, the pace, that so wisely sets the foundation for the heavy loaded developements to come as the show progresses... amazing. Episodes 15 and 16 were such a rollercoaster of emotions for me... don't pay attention to the reviews of people that didn't watch It until the end. I assure you the final episodes Will blow your brains out. If you like gripping shows, don't miss this one.

Loved it to the end.

It is a story of intertwined souls in their past lives for seeking apology, making amends & setting things right & straight in the present.

Splendid screenplay, touching acting and beautifull story of love, friendship & comraderi.

This show will lift the spirits and cheer you up. Releived to have seen a show with happy ending.

The story is not really my favorite but the casts, such as Yoo Ah In, Lim Soo Jung, and Go Kyung Pyo make this drama more alive. I enjoy to watch every episode per episode and can not miss one.

You know how some shows have a great start and they become boring and make you loose interest? Well, this one is the COMPLETE opposite. It gets better and better the more you watch it.

I almost gave up at the beginning and couldn't stay focused in the story but I endured for a bit longer and I am so glad I did, the more you get to know about their story in the past and their bond and connection you can't scape and you are trapped in this beautiful yet heartbreaking turmoil of events.

This drama is about beliefs, love, friendship, loyalty and betrayal, a story beautifully told and with amazing performances, you won't regret watching it.
