Chicago Typewriter: Episode 15
by gummimochi
I’m going to be honest: there aren’t enough words in the English lexicon to adequately describe how I feel right now. My heart is still caught in my throat, my eyes are swollen from all the tears I spilled, and my fingers are still shaking from this emotional rollercoaster that fired poignant bullets every damn minute. Let me warn you that this penultimate episode is not for the faint of heart, and even the steeliest of hearts is bound to be broken down by the hour’s end. Good luck, my friends.
EPISODE 15 RECAP
Soon after Hwi-young and his comrades start firing into the crowd at the garden party, Young-min and his men arrive to return fire. Meanwhile, Soo-hyun slips away in her usual boyish disguise, but gets caught on her way to the rendezvous point by Young-min. Uh oh.
So instead of meeting her fellow independence fighters, she’s interrogated by Young-min, who is pleasantly surprised to have nabbed the organization’s sniper. She sticks to her story that she was paid off to carry that case on her person and had no idea there was a gun inside. But Young-min sees right through the rehearsed lie, explaining that he had her movements tracked the minute she arrived at the party.
He demands to know who the organization’s leader is, only for Soo-hyun to fire back that he chose the wrong person to question. But Young-min already has a working theory: either Hwi-young or Yul is the leader. What he knows for certain is that both men are in love with her and will come to her rescue.
Elsewhere, an injured Yul offers to stay behind and save Soo-hyun, only for Hwi-young to raise the point that the men they lost tonight were also their comrades. Every one of them made a choice when they decided to fight for their homeland, which includes fighting for their own lives, he adds.
He declares that they’ll stick to the plan to head to Gyeongseong Station and travel by train to Manchuria, but that’s when another comrade arrives with news that the train station and every checkpoint is crawling with police officers.
That comrade has no idea who their mole was, but Soo-hyun gasps when she finds out who it was. Young-min grabs Madam Sophia’s face to confirm if Soo-hyun is the independence fighters’ sniper. She nods.
After ordering the men to stay low and scatter, Hwi-young tells his worried friend that they must attend to his wounds. Since Carpe Diem is no longer safe, Hwi-young and Yul hide in a safehouse and learn that Soo-hyun has been caught and that Madam Sophia rat them out.
When Yul is prepared to go and save Soo-hyun, Hwi-young reminds him that his fresh wound will only expose himself and instructs him to put his gun down. However, Yul won’t be swayed: “If you don’t go, I’ll go alone.”
Hwi-young orders him to stay put, reminding him of their fallen comrades who participated in the bombings and committed suicide to avoid arrest. He reiterates the idea that people must choose what and where they sacrifice their lives for; Soo-hyun is no exception.
The ultimate aim of this operation was to escape Gyeongseong with the funds they swiped to prepare for their next battle. As survivors, they have an obligation to fulfill that mission, and the way to respect the comrades they lost.
Soo-hyun sends Madam Sophia a death glare when the latter arrives with food. She knocks the food away and asks how the madam can bring herself to eat after selling out her comrades. Madam Sophia warns her that these men will continue to torture her until she’s begging them to kill her—she may as well give up and let Hwi-young take care of the rest.
Soo-hyun asks how long she’s been working for their enemies and why she betrayed them. “You were like a mother to me!” she cries. Madam Sophia says she has a son she sent away soon after birth because she didn’t wish for him to be known as a gisaeng’s son, and now that boy is dying in jail, charged for murdering a Japanese officer.
She’s willing to do anything for her son because at the end of the day, he comes before any comrade or country: “Why should I save [a country] that has done nothing for me?!” Soo-hyun screams, “Then you shouldn’t have gotten involved in the first place!”
Madam Sophia is called out, and Soo-hyun hollers that she won’t ever forgive her in this life nor in the hereafter.
Later that night, Hwi-young slips out for some air. Looking at his photo of Soo-hyun, he remembers her younger days when she was scarfing down food because she wanted the strength to earn her keep here.
He was impressed and teased that her unladylike behavior will prevent her from getting married. Young Soo-hyun happily proclaimed that she’ll marry her half-masked rescuer once she finds out who he was because she fell in love with him at first sight.
He brought up that story with her years later, when she was still shoveling food in her mouth. Hah. He rolled his eyes at her confidence of marrying someone who doesn’t even have a say in the matter.
He softly chuckled at the idea that she could be that attractive, then asks how she can stick to her plan: “How many husbands would you have if you married every man who saved you?”
Soo-hyun assured him that there was no need to worry because she would protect herself. Go you.
Hwi-young’s smile fades into tears as he remembers the kiss they shared, and the time he ran into her after she changed into her stage singer disguise. She stopped him to tell him about her masked rescuer who stubbornly never gave his name nor revealed his face to her.
She still remembered his advice to stay strong and not live in suffering, words she had since lived by. And even if she couldn’t marry him, she did want to thank him one day. “Are you sure you weren’t the masked man who saved me?” she asked.
Even though Hwi-young denied it, Soo-hyun admitted that she felt like he was lying to her and that saddened her. Hwi-young sheds tears as he remembers the time Soo-hyun asked him to promise her to do everything he couldn’t do for her in this life in the next.
Soo-hyun thinks of this same exchange and Hwi-young’s order for her to return alive. She silently promises to fulfill that vow.
Yul finds Hwi-young crying outside and jokes that the painkillers nearly knocked him out for good. Smiling, Hwi-young says he was afraid his friend would march out of there if he didn’t—plus, his friend’s life is too precious for such recklessness.
Yul chuckles at that and says he thinks their time together has come to an end—he’ll stay in Gyeongseong while Hwi-young leads their comrades into Manchuria. Hwi-young is against the idea, but Yul assures his friend that he’ll be safe enough here: “I’ll survive no matter what.”
He promises to let Hwi-young have Soo-hyun in the next life if his friend allows him to protect her in this life.
Later, Yul meets with Young-min and cuts right to the chase, asking where Soo-hyun is. He warns Young-min that his family knows important Japanese officials in the government, but Young-min doesn’t take the bait; money won’t be enough to release Soo-hyun.
Then Yul asks how he feels about exchanging Soo-hyun for the leader of the youth freedom fighters. Once Hwi-young learns that Yul has turned himself in, claiming to be the leader, he’s told that they must use this time to their advantage and that Yul’s family will surely save their son.
In the interrogation room, Yul firmly states that he doesn’t know the names of every member in his organization which was built on secrecy. Still, Young-min believes that Yul should at least know the key operatives in the organization, but Yul claims those comrades already lost their lives.
At that moment, Soo-hyun is brought inside, and Yul gasps at her battered state. Young-min orders her to identify Yul, and she replies, “The owner of Carpe Diem.” Young-min: “Is he your leader?” Soo-hyun: “I told you I don’t know who that is!”
Young-min slaps her, screaming how she got her orders then. As she’s taken away, she pleads with her eyes, telling Yul not to utter Hwi-young’s name. “You’ll do that, won’t you? You’ll hold out, right? Answer me, hyung-nim.”
Yul screams Soo-hyun’s name and despite his claims to be the organization’s leader, Young-min knows that isn’t true because the leader has never made the slightest misstep, but Yul checked his watch moments before the bombs went off.
Furthermore, Yul revealed his weakness by letting his emotions peek through and he was foolish enough to try and save a woman he loved by turning himself in. Young-min admits he was also a fool for taking the bait of an easy arrest, but then realized Yul’s decision to expose himself was uncharacteristic for the organization’s leader.
“So tell me, who is your leader?” Young-min bellows. Yul softly asserts, “I told you… it’s me.” As the son of an influential family, Young-min won’t dare to lay a finger on him, but warns that he’ll have his men continue to torture Soo-hyun if Yul doesn’t fess up.
The next day, Hwi-young meets with an employee who works for Yul’s family. He learns that Yul’s stubborn claims prevent Yul’s family from being able to pull him out of custody, Carpe Diem has been exposed as the freedom fighter’s hideout, the club madam has gone missing, and most importantly, Soo-hyun is believed to be the group’s sniper.
He keeps his emotions in check while he hears that Soo-hyun is withstanding torture. Back in the interrogation room, Young-min’s patience wears thin at Yul’s continued silence. He has Soo-hyun brought back in, looking worse for wear.
Next thing we know, Yul fills in the names of the deceased in the youth independence group’s organizational chart. He hovers over the box marked “Leader” but leaves it blank, and now Young-min has had enough.
Soo-hyun is brought in again, and Yul shakes upon seeing her bloody and bruised face. He and Young-min are left alone again some hours later, and Young-min decides that he’ll keep Soo-hyun here in this room.
She’s brought inside, blood dripping down her face, and a gun pointed at her head. Yul falls out of his chair while Soo-hyun silently begs him not to fill in that box. Neither of them speak when Young-min demands them to utter their leader’s name, so Young-min finally gets his hands dirty and takes the gun and points it at her head.
As Young-min wraps his finger around the trigger, Yul blurts out, “Seo Hwi-young!” Tears spill from Soo-hyun’s eyes as Yul repeats Hwi-young’s name and sobs.
Hwi-young is busy making plans for his comrades to flee Gyeongseong safely while he remains here, promising to meet them in Manchuria at a later time. When asked if he plans on trying to rescue Yul and Soo-hyun, he tells his comrade to lead their men to safety in his stead.
Despite that comrade’s willingness to have the entire group stay to help, Hwi-young says this is something he must do himself—he cannot risk any more lives. “Why do you try to bear all the burden alone?” the comrade asks. ‘S what I’m sayin’.
But Hwi-young’s mind is made up; he explains that he isn’t going to try and rescue Yul and Soo-hyun as a fellow comrade, but as an ordinary friend to Yul and a man to Soo-hyun for at least one day. The comrade agreed to let Hwi-young fulfill that promise to himself, but made him vow to return alive with Yul and Soo-hyun in tow.
Hwi-young runs down the mountain when he suddenly hear shots fired behind him. It turns out Young-min has raided the safehouse, and he orders his men to scour the mountain in search of Hwi-young.
But the group soon finds themselves under attack as Hwi-young fires at the captors with a “Chicago Typewriter” (a Thompson submachine gun). He then orders his men to stick to the plan, and his righthand man barely takes two steps before being shot in the back.
It’s Young-min and his men, and Hwi-young provides cover fire for his comrades until he’s out of bullets. Young-min is hit in the arm but hollers at his men to pursue, and Hwi-young runs until he reaches the edge of a cliff.
He stands there waiting until Young-min and the other policemen arrive, then shoots down his targets with his pistol. The officers hit him in the shoulder and leg before Young-min pushes his way through, grumbling that he needs Hwi-young alive.
We cut back to the present as Tae-min watches Se-joo fall backward from the rooftop. Down below, Jin-oh leaps into action. There’s a flash and Se-joo is suspended in mid-air before falling down to the ground again… and Jin-oh rolls out of Se-joo’s body. Omo, he actually pulled off human body possession!
Shocked, Tae-min staggers backward and flees while Jin-oh checks Se-joo for a pulse. Then Se-joo ekes out, “I’m not dead.”
He helps Se-joo sit up and explains that today was the first day he’s successfully pulled off human body possession. Se-joo notices him flickering in and out of existence, and Jin-oh marks that as a temporary side effect of overusing his phantom powers.
Suddenly, Se-joo remembers that Seol is still being held hostage. He agrees to go save Seol while Jin-oh goes after Tae-min and finds him shaking in his car.
Jin-oh tells him to get out of the car because it’s time that he pay for his crimes. Tae-min straps himself in instead and slams his foot on the accelerator, driving the car into Jin-oh, who disintegrates.
Se-joo gets an update on Sang-mi from his secretary by the time he reaches his car. He informs her that Seol has been kidnapped, so she relays the message that ensuring Seol’s safety is more important than arresting Sang-mi.
Sang-mi runs when she sees the police outside her apartment. Seol screams when she hears the cops banging outside the door, and they quickly burst inside to rescue her. She’s filled in on how Sang-mi is Se-joo’s stalker-fan’s younger sister and that her kidnapping was likely her way of exacting revenge.
Se-joo arrives at the scene, demanding to know if Seol is safe. Seeing her being led outside, he rushes to collect her in his arms. He’s so relieved to see that she’s alive and safe that he doesn’t notice the blood dripping down his head. He breathes, “What a relief that I wasn’t late this time” before he collapses.
He’s wheeled into the hospital, where he thinks to himself, “Soo-hyun… Yul… I remembered. I remembered how we parted.”
We cut back to the past as Young-min confronts Hwi-young at the cliff’s edge. Hwi-young raises his gun to his temple, saying that he won’t be captured alive.
Hwi-young growls that he’d rather honorably end his life here than to disgrace his cause by falling into the hands of his enemies… and then pulls the trigger.
Back in the interrogation room, Hwi-young shows up looking neat and clean in front of Soo-hyun. Oh god, I don’t know if I can do this. He bends down and caresses her face and softly asks, “It must have been tough… waiting for me, wasn’t it?”
She says no, and he apologizes for allowing her to be left alone and be tortured. But she says she would’ve died long ago if it weren’t for him—thanks to him, she was fortunate to live another ten years.
“Soo-hyun-ah,” he gently calls. “I love you. I’m sorry I was so mean to you. I’m sorry that I also pretended not to know how you felt about me. I won’t do that in my next life. I promise you.”
“Why do you keep talking about the next life?” Soo-hyun asks, tears rolling down her cheeks. “In my next life,” Hwi-young vows, smiling, “I’ll recognize you first. I’ll come back again. No matter what, I’ll come back to meet you. I won’t be late then.” He rises to his feet and turns away as Soo-hyun clutches her chest and howls at him not to leave.
Then we return to the cliff as Hwi-young pulls the trigger and falls to the ground. Blood drips from his temple as he reaches into his pocket to take out the photo of Soo-hyun and ekes out his final words: “I miss you, Soo-hyun-ah.”
COMMENTS
Honest confession: I’m an emotional mess right now and currently ugly crying in front of my monitor. Even though I knew that our trio in the 1930s met a tragic end, I still wasn’t prepared for how seeing it firsthand would knock the wind out of my sails. Hwi-young’s last moments were so woefully beautiful that I’m still curled up in a ball, unable to think of the right words to describe them. How can you not love a man who is so noble to a fault that he would stay true to his beliefs and then watch him imprint the image of the woman he loves in his mind before he drew his last breath? God, just thinking about it again leaves me breathless.
As sorrowful as this penultimate episode was, there’s something so emotionally cathartic about getting an hour that hit all the right points. I felt like I was in a dream, watching Soo-hyun, Yul, and Hwi-young fight for themselves and for each other. My mind had a love-hate relationship with how sharp Young-min was in his interrogation methods: he knew that both Hwi-young and Yul loved Soo-hyun and knew that one of them would come to save her. Not only that, he caught onto the fact that the leader of the youth independence fighters was too careful and would never let his emotions compromise the mission. And then he used Yul’s soft heart to wrench the truth out of him.
While the objective, practical side of me wishes I could blame Yul for spilling the beans, the subjective, emotional side of me can’t do it because I could imagine the unbelievable mental torture it would’ve been to see the woman you love being beaten to a pulp. Now that we know he uttered Hwi-young’s name, I can’t help but think that that decision implanted a seed of doubt within Soo-hyun and slowly but surely drove her to shoot Yul later on. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was both angered and pained by the betrayal and learned that that was why Hwi-young and their other comrades were exposed. Who knows if she later found out that Hwi-young was planning on coming to their rescue and that spurred her even more.
Should all of that be true, it would make sense that Yul was tied to the typewriter for decades out of guilt until he could be reunited with his buddy in this life and get a chance at making things right. Could Jin-oh being there to possess his friend’s body and save him from death be enough to undo succumbing to their enemies in the past life? Would it write a new chapter of their lives?
I’m honestly a bit worried about seeing Se-joo getting wheeled into surgery because right at this moment, there’s no guarantee that he’ll come out of it to tell his friends what he remembered. Hwi-young’s dying as a martyr for their cause is where his memory (should) end, so now it’s up to Seol and Jin-oh to finish the tale. I trust that Sang-mi will be caught and Tae-min will suffer a painful death, so my full attention is focused on how this story of the past ends. Never have I been so nervous about reaching the last page of any story, but never has a tale captured my heart like this one. No matter what happens, I know that it can only come to a beautiful end.

Farewell, Seo Hwi Young
I love the way you smile
With your cute dimples galore
And I love the way you love your friends
And the way they love you more
I love the way you write
And your noble quest to make things right
The tough leadership that you portray
My fragile heart then goes astray
You look best in black Seo Hwi Young
With your messy hair covers your eyes
With glasses or not Seo Hwi Young
Your awesomeness is never a lie
I love the way you were having fun
Even the way you hold your guns
And I love the way you love
More so the way you cry
Sleep tight, sleep well Seo Hwi Young
You’ve done the best you can
Dream well, dream on Seo Hwi Young
Because you’re one hell of an amazing man.

Episode 15 with all the feels! My heart was broken at what actually transpired because of Seol's capture, and the tragic ending it led to. The trio had done very well in their roles. I could feel the desperation in Yoo as he struggled to keep the secrets of the alliance, but couldn't do so in the face of a beaten up Seol, how Seol was so furious at Madam Sophia's betrayal that she hissed at her face, how HW decided to end his life on a noble note because he couldn't let the Jap traitors humiliate him by capturing him alive. OMG! I never felt such intense feelings within an episode for such a long time. It is heartbreakingly daebak.

Im Soo Jung killed that scene with Madame Sophia and with Hwi Young. When spirit HY asked if it was tough waiting for him, the way she delivered the line "No" was beautiful. I don't know how to describe it. It was simple, direct, tired, strong, and loving all at once.

I was actually relieved when we came back to the present, because it felt like a welcome breather. I think it was really well done actually: it served as a reprieve from the overwhelming feelings, reminded us that it was not over for our three friends, gave us a glimpse of Jin-Oh/Yul "making up" for his past life's mistake (gah, it's gonna be so poignant watching him now...) and at the same time made us wish for the 30's storyline to resume even more. It really was like taking a breath before diving head first again.

I was impressed too with ISJ's acting in this episode. How she showed the different emotions when she was captured-her anger, her loyalty, her pain, her sadness. I dare say this episode is her best portrayal of the role to date. I could feel each and every one of her emotions so acutely that it hurts to watch her. She had been so good in the previous episodes I had thought it would be difficult to top that, but top that, she did, and it was marvelous.

I initially felt that that was too easy. Thought that Yul didn't really betray Hui Young and the organization, thought there will be a twist in the end where it wasnt really Su Hyeon who killed him (It's looking like she did kill him) I was hopping that the Joseon Alliance managed to outwit Young Min in the end and that they managed to carry on for the greater cause with Yul ultimately making the big sacrifice and taking the fall by pretending to be Hui Young by getting assasinated in the end and perhaps Su Hyeon might have witnessed it and got it all wrong in her memories
BUT
I also understand that perhaps it's the very reason why he had been stuck in the typewriter all these years and writing the novel with the two who managed to move on to the next life will help him in his own redemption and the chance to move on.
That being said, My love for CT is now back on and I can't wait for the last episode. It will be bittersweet indeed

I had hoped for a nice happy ending in the past like you suggested.. but I think that would have been the easy way out for the show... Having the worst happen in their past lives and still living with strong convictions in the present and facing their past is what makes the 3 of them so amazing. It's also much harder for the show directors/writers to pull off such a sad story and still have us rooting so strongly for them. Kudos to the CT team!

I wasn't expecting a happy ending, I knew it was going to be a tragic ending for everyone all around :( Since the writing has been consistently fresh and unpredictable, I was hoping that the writer will pull an unexpected twist in the end. I realized now that there's a reason why Yul got stuck in that typewriter and was not able to move on and that every single one of them from Yul to SuHyeon to HwiYouing has acted true to their character. Kudos indeed to the CT team for bringing the story to lofe. I managed to lose a liter of fluids watching this episode. I'm preparing to surround myself with snacks when EP 16 comes out

Now I understand why Yoo was stuck in the typewriter. Oh, why had he gone to save Seol if he was not going to be able to bear the sight of a badly beaten up Seol, and he was going to spill the secrets of the alliance? At that moment, I was in despair and anger with Yoo for being so weak with his ideals and so emotional with Seol's predicament.

Right? That's what I meant when i said it was too easy, how the Joseon Alliance got destroyed when we have a brilliant mind like Hwi Young moving the chess board.
In the end, CT is all about Shin Yul's remorse and guilt over what happened. He acted true to his nature and it's true that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I understand you, but still I find what happened very human. Would you stay still while your loved one is facing death? It is difficult to say how strong we would be in a situation like this. He couldn´t make it when he saw a gun pointing to Seol´s head. Maybe he thought that Hwi Young would be already gone to Manchuria... In the end, Hwi Young was so right when he said that love relationships would put them and their organization in danger.

@Yuki I was hoping Hwi Young and Yul tried to work together instead of acting on their own - i saw it as their way to protect each other which was the most human thing to do. But if that happened, we wouldn't have this incredible story.
Ultimately, this is Yul's journey to acceptance and forgiveness. CT has been a breath of fresh air and I hope to see more shows like it. I will moss it a lot...

I knew things were going to get tragic and I had so many theories of how things were going to go down, but never exactly this and never expected feeling so utterly gutted. This drama has excelled at making my heart hurt, especially with the scenes of the 1930s , and this episode just went ahead and broke me.
Hwi-young's death scene was so cool, so Hwi-young and just so sad. In that moment, he was both the charismatic leader of the independence movement and a normal man who won't see his love again. When his spirit came to Soo Hyun to say goodbye and made those promises to go to her in his next life, :*( Even though the present day scenes aren't as interesting as the 1930s scenes, I'm really glad they're there as they showed that Hwi-Young kept his promises and HY and SH got another chance at love.
I also sort of understand better now why Seol's mom left. Remembering the past, she must have remembered how Soo Hyun looked up to her like a mother and she betrayed her. She must have remembered Soo Hyun's last words to never forgive Sophia even in the afterlife. With Yul's confession and Hwiyoung dead, the person Soo Hyun killed was definitely Yul. I think even if Soo Hyun didn't pull the trigger, Yul would have eventually killed himself out of guilt.
I also wanted to blame Yul for spilling but Heo Young Min was just diabolical. The longer Yul held on, the more Soo Hyun was going to get tortured. And if Yul never showed up to attempt to rescue Soo Hyun, we still won't know what would have happened to Soo Hyun. Maybe Heo Young Min will find a small innocent child and torture her until Soo Hyun spilled? Who knows!
Besides the writing, the acting and the OST are also so pitch perfect.

To be honest, I doubt YM would be able to do anything had SH kept her silence. Why would be kidnap a random child and torture him for the sake of forcing SH to spill her secrets? But he would definitely torture her until she dies to get the truth out of her. I love how steadfastly she holds onto her ideals and keeps her mouth shut.

I know how Soo Hyun must be so angry with Yul that she shoot him later on. Here she was tolerating all the tortures to even getting ready to die under that gun but still kept her mouth shut but then he just spilled out Hwi young's name as the leader. How angry she would be. Even more if she come to know that Hwi Young has died when on his way to save them !! If I were Soo Hyun, I would be damn angry with Yul too !!

I completely agree with your comment. I think to know that the person you love, the person who helped you survive, the person who is the leader of a group for the betterment of the nation is shot dead because of the secret spilled out by a person close to you (and him) SH must have been very angry to the point that she killed Yul. And that explains shy she always has a feeling that she killed a person she shouldn't have because she killed him out of anger and rage. And the guilty feeling and the understanding of SY's reasons made him stuck in the typewriter of his best friend and the one he betrayed until now. What a tragedy. Eventhough I would like to blame Yul for spilling the secret, I completely understand his situation and feelings when he saw the woman he loved dying from pain. The one I would blame is Madame Sophie. I can't forgive a person who betrays.. it's just that.

The core of the emotion is on the 30s, but the present timeline also has its part in making the story so round: it amplifies the tragedy, knowing how the souls of friends and lovers are seeking each other again to solve their unfinished businesses. The present timeline makes somehow the past more precious and gives a sense of longing. I like this formula, but not sure I want to watch another drama like this, it´s too much for my poor heart.

The acting by the trio was amazing in this episode. I could feel HY and Yul's pain when he thought about SY and when he saw her being tortured respectively and I felt it was IsJ's best acting in the entire drama when she cried for HY. They all were great in this episode even KSY for being such a convincing villian.

YM was played to perfection in the interrogation process, and I so hated him for what he did to Seol and Yoo. He had the right amount of ruthlessness, arrogance and cruelty that he exhibited toward the two of them. He didn't shy away from the violence of it all, nor did he overdo it as the villain of the show. His coldness and badness was calculated and measured, a worthy adversary of HY. I love how this character was portrayed in the 1930s. It is a sharp contrast to the present character, who is a groveling spineless writer. The actor portrayed the two different characters very well.

Owwww. That was painful! So often shows get dark and hint at tragedy before swerving back to a happy ending. Chicago Typewriter almost reminds me of Six Flying Dragons in that it set the stakes at life/death and betrayal and then went there unflinchingly. The SH torture scenes and watching them break down Yul was harrowing and realistic.
At first I appreciated the show for being so stylish. Now it will remain extremely memorable to me for the integrity and artistic vision. They had a specific story to tell and stayed true to that story to the end- ratings be damned. Thank you Chicago Typewriter writer, PD, cast and crew. It's been a hell of a ride!

That ending! Ugh! The feels! When Yoo Jin Oh first appeared, i thought he might be a traitor, why else would he be trapped in a typewriter for 80 years while even heo young min gets a chance at a new life. But as the series progressed, I just couldn't imagine our puppy like ghost ever betraying his friends, so i assumed it was the shock of having being killed by Soo Hyun (whom I thought made a mistake). But now, at this ending, everything makes sense.
His character was written perfectly. He was always a live for the moment kind of guy. He'd never confess if he was being tortured, but he just didn't have the ability to see RSH being tortured.
This is the most tragic ending this heroic trio could have had. One betraying the other, the save the third.
Also, I am so impressed with how the writer weaved the story, having us strike out all our maybe-it-was-like-this scenarios one by one, until it came to the very end. Because this ending did take me by surprise.

Agree, it all makes sense now and it is so sad. Yul loved Hwi Young and Soo Heon. I´m sure Yul was willing to accept torture and die there, but he loved Soo Heon too much to watch her die, so he betrayed them. I can understand the pain of the three of them, it´s so heartbreaking. I see how Soo Heon cannot forgive Yul, but I cannot hate him for what he did, he had to see one of his friends die I guess, so for him there was no good choice. Now it is clear why he became a ghost.

The struggle on his face every time Seol is brought into the room, and when he finally explodes in desperation, giving up HY's name in exchange for Seol's life... his pain at his betrayal of HY plainly showed his struggle between giving up his comrade and saving Seol. Kudos for his acting skills at that moment.

It is a perfection. Reading recap is not enough because you need to watch it and see how amazing (if that word is not an understatement) their actings are.. how their emotions felt so real that it hurt so much.. especially when yul watched suhyeon got beaten (I had to skip that part a little, poor heart), when hwiyeong remembered suhyeon and cried that night, that last moment when hwiyeong died and one last tear escaped his eye.. oh my, it's perfect
This drama is surely one of the best in my whole life
I am so mesmerized and broken to watch how tragic the ending for those brave youths who sacrifice their lives for greater goods.. and I reflect on my own life, surely need to level up my own game
For the final episode, I hope we can get satisfying closure and be content with whatever Chicago Typewriter delivers.. and I believe it :")

Hwi-young being the respectable leader that he was set for a compelling and original conflict when Soo-hyun was captured by Young-min. Especially since he showed a vastly different reaction than Yul. He loved her as much as Yul did, and that makes me admire him more when he stated that she won't receive any special treatment when it comes to their action and cause. They knew that they were responsible to save their own life.
I can see Yul's betrayal from a mile away. I understand his anguish and deep desire to save the woman he loves, but at the same time I can't help but think that by doing so he didn't respect Soo-hyun as a fellow comrade. She knew she needed to save her own self. But with Yul there, claiming to be the leader, he just inadvertently made it harder for her. Young-min knew she wouldn't budge under torture, but he also knew there was a possibility to make Yul crack by using Soo-hyun. I keep thinking that maybe Young-min would kill her sooner if it wasn't for Yul.
On another note, Seol's mom is just as despicable and weak-willed as she was as Madam Sophia. I love how Seol told her that everyone also have their own personal stories. That doesn't meant it should excuse what she did to her other comrades. It's clear that both Sophia and Mom's interest were always to herself first and foremost.

"I can't help but think that by doing so he didn't respect Soo-hyun as a fellow comrade." -- THIS. Soo Hyun would rather die than spill the secret of their organization and sacrifice them all and she expected her comrades would do the same. She has begged Yool not to tell the leader's name, but he succumbed because his feeling was too strong. I full understand now why she would kill Yool in the end.

Yul should know that soo Hyun wanted him not to talk and spill the beans. If she wanted to say, she would have say it and not wait till she was so much torture after a prolonged time. What I mean is that Yul should be smart to know that SH will never betray them but seeing her being tortured and nearly killed make him follow his heart instead of his brain. So to save her from further torture and even death, he spilled the beans.

Just a thought about this: Yul didn´t know that Young Min was aware of his feelings for Soo Heon, so he might have gone there thinking that if he surrendered as the leader, they would focus on torturing him and leave her alone...but yeah, I agree that he made a mistake, for someone who devotes his life to this youth fighters movement.

Watching this drama raises some questions for me. Are we born to retain our traits and repeat our behavior from our past lives? How much does the past life affects our present? I don't know anything about my past life, but I am interested to know how similar my past life is with my present, and how much I retain my traits from the past. Madam Sophia and Seol's mom show that they put themselves first and foremost to other people. YM is still the rat he is, albeit in a different form. Now he steals people's work and doesn't have the courage to admit it.

I was actually hoping till the end that Tae Min would have a redemption arc in the present where he actually admits to his faults & clears it up... but that never happened.

What a complex and perplexing question this episode raises. Is it more important to fight for your friends/family or your country?
While Madam Sophia may seem like a villain, who can really blame her for sacrificing everything for the sake of her son? In a differently painted drama she could even be viewed as a heroine. For Hui-young his country comes above all. I commend him for the difficult choice he has to make in giving up his love for the sake of his cause. We always see in dramas heroes sacrificing their belief for love, and its refreshing to see a hero understand how difficult this choice is and still choose his country. Again though, who could blame Yul for fighting for his love? It’s heroic and romantic. I want to hate Yul for the choice he made giving up his best friend for Soo-hyun, but who could say they wouldn’t do the same if they saw their loved ones tortured in front of them?
What choice would you make if you were in the position of these characters?
Being brave is so multi-faceted, the “right” or “moral” choice isn’t always the one presented on the screen. Just because a drama points you to believe that a character made a wrong decision, does not always mean they ACTUALLY made a bad decision. TV can only show us a linear perspective, one point of view, one mindset at a time. For me, the talent in this drama is that I can’t hate these “traitors.” Did they betray their country? Yes. But did they try to save those close to them? Yes. Are they bad people? Nothing is that simple.

Fantastic points! What is the point of having a country without family? When you fight for your country, you technically fight for building a better, safer life for your family - but the return on investment for that is more delayed.
In SH's convo with Madame Sophia - both had valid points. The idea of country can be vague and what has her country done to protect her son. Before the Japanese occupation, it wasn't as if gisaeng life was all that great and free either, especially if she had to give up her son so that he wouldn't be tarnished with the bad rep as a gisaeng's son. And SH also had a point that Madame Sophia shouldn't have gotten so involved if she was going to betray them.
I feel like the only person I could see as a bad person is Heo Young Min. I hated how he relished hunting them down.

Yes I agree. I don't really blame Mdm Sophia as well. She did what she could as a MOTHER. The convo between she and SH is good. It all depends on your perspective. Does country comes before family or family comes before country? To many of cos family members and loved ones are more important as we shared the same blood and affection with them etc but country, espcially when Mdm Sophia exclaimed what has her country done for her !?? I think the only baddie I dislike is Baek Taemin and his past life character.

In addition , now I can fully understand why Hwi Young do not want to be romantically involved with SH. Because when you have someone you love, lovers / family members and such, you would have a weakness that the Japanese could use it against you. That's why when fighting for the country's independence, it is better to have no one with you (no loved ones or family) so that you could be clear and objective in your mind and not led by your heart (e.g. in Mdm Sophia and Yul's case of spilling the beans to their enemies - their weakness is her own son and the woman he love, respectively).

Though I see your point in this, I still think that Madam Sophie made a terrible decision. Nothing is wrong for trying to protect and save the ones you love, but why involving in this then? Because you want to protect the ines you love so you sacrificed the ones others love? It is indeed a very complex think to think about. I'm not sure if her son was captured for the right cause? If he was indeed captured and tortured wrongfully, then that is another issue here.

Again, as much as I like Yoo Jin Oh, I don't like Yool for throwing his comrades under the bus, on top of that, his childhood friend who already thought of him as his own brother. I don't know how someone can see that as romantic, especially in times of struggle like that. I've read many times in history that some people chose to kill themselves than exposing their friends/comrades. Being brave is multi-faceted, being coward is too.

Isn't a shot to the head an instantaneous death? Which means technically, he couldn't have reached into his pocket to pull out Soo Hyun's picture to look at it, right? Sorry to nitpick about this, but those little details really bug me. I've watched too many thrillers, I guess.
And I suspect that Hwi young knew that Soo Hyun wouldn't get broken by the Japanese no matter how much she was tortured. He knew her love for him was so strong that she'd never out him, but he also knew that Yul could be broken if he saw Soo Hyun tortured and that might be why he tried hard to prevent Yul from going to rescue her. It was a tough decision he made to stay away and put the interests of the group first, and what hurts me is that his sacrifice was all in vain as all his comrades were killed. Madam Sophia, Soo Hyun and Yul all drowned in guilt from their actions in their past lives and the only ones to have somewhat of a clean slate were Se Ju and Tae Min.

I had that same thought about him shooting himself in the head, Adal! It honestly pulled me out of the moment for a few seconds as I thought to myself---ummm....exactly how thick is his head? Did he somehow miss? Why is he still able to move about when he shot himself in the stinkin' head? But then the blood started trickling and the lone tear dribbled down his nose and I.Was.GONE.

As for the shot in the head: I guess he could have survived a few extra seconds longer if his shot was off the mark a little. this is a stretch, but maybe his medical degree and his excellent marksmanship allowed him to figure out the precise spot in the brain where he could give himself 10 seconds to fish out SH's pic? It's super rare, but there have been people shot in the head before - with the bullet in the brain- and survived. It depends on where in the brain the bullet lands. I loved how he took out her picture and looked at it as he died, so I tried not to think too much about it.
I'm not sure if HY knew SH would never out him. But she was made of tougher stuff - as seen in the flashbacks. Her father was killed; she lived the rest of her life pretending to be a boy; and she became a sharpshooter. If there was a possible scenario where she outs him, it would be long after the alliance has made their escape. HY loved both Yul and SH. I think he prevented Yul from going because he didn't want to lose Yul too. I think he eventually let Yul go because he cared about Yul (who would feel tortured by not even attempting to rescue SH) and he wanted to give SH some chance of escape. It was sad that even though he had been all logic early in the episode in saying they wouldn't go back for SH, he eventually decided to go rescue Yul and SH.
I'm glad Se Ju got a clean slate. But man, this guy was trying to save a country and karma made him an orphan in the next life. =/ Good thing, he and Seol were reunited.

Chicago Typewriter is just getting better and better. Why does it have to end?! You know, Man X Man is getting a prequel. Maybe Chicago Typewriter can have one too? I am so curious as to how the Joseon Youth Alliance came to be. How did Hwi-young become the leader? How did he meet Yul? Why did those jerks come and kill Soo-hyun's father in the first place? See? So many questions. Lets have a prequel. Written and produced and directed by these same people. These same actors. And when they rip our hearts out in 1930s we can all just rewatch Chicago Typewriter. And let them rip our hearts out again. It'll be fine. Right?

I second that idea of having a prequel featuring the 1930s of CT.

I am also interested in Yoo's background, and how he came to terms with that. I want everything that happened in the 1930s among the trio.

I'm crying again from reading the recap. So sad, and so inevitable. I can't blame Yul: it was impossible for him to be any other way while watching Soo Hyeon be tortured. Hwi Young was just... amazing. That he didn't live to see a free Joseon is heartbreaking.
I'm really torn right now: I want to see everyone to heal in this life, and I'm not willing to let go of these characters. I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to them tonight.

This whole episode is one big bittersweet heartbreak.
Yul planning to save Soo-hyun in this life and promising to give up on her in the next shows his love and loyalty to both Soo-hyun and Hwi-young. He's the kind of friend you'd want to have in your lifetime so it was very, very painful to watch him struggle with wanting to save Soo-hyun versus wanting to be loyal to their cause (we have Go Kyung-pyo's to thank for that excellent acting!). I guess it all came down to the psychological torture and emotional stress that he finally came down to the decision of revealing who the Joseon Youth Alliance leader is. Given how much he valued his friendship with Hwi-young and Soo-hyun, it's only natural for him to feel regret for what he did, why he's not at peace and why his soul got stuck in the typewriter.
That scene where Hwi-young was breaking down and remembering his moments with Soo-hyun was also brilliantly executed. He was so steadfast in his belief that the country should come first, and for him to later decide and give up his leadership (and even his safety) was another act of loyalty that most likely took a lot from his part. And then we get that kickass scene where Hwi-young was fighting off the baddies on a one-man show - you just know he was born to lead the rebel group.
I know I say this practically every episode but man, Yoo Ah-in is blowing my mind. He is so, so good at what he does! I was clutching my chest at Hwi-young's farewell scene with Soo-hyun and his death scene, both were viscerally painful it felt like I had to hold myself together just to make it to the end. That act of defiance in the end, shooting himself then reaching in to his pocket for one last look at Soo-hyun's picture was executed so well, down to the pause in music and the way that little tear fell down at the same time the blood was dripping from his wound.

And sorry, let me hate the stupid Yool and his stupid decision just now!! You're snitching to save a girl who has more balls than you cause she ain't said shit yet and would rather take the bullet in her head!!! You chose to save a woman than the whole comrades!!
Gosssssh, Heo Young Min was right. The leader of Joseon Alliance would never reveal his emotion or being dumb enough to walk into the general government for the sake of his love to a woman!
And I'm still crying mess every time I see the gif pictures and the heartbroken scenes: Hwi Young's farewell and love confession to Soo Hyun, him recalling their past, and his suicide. Oh my god. Everyone's acting like there's no tomorrow. We already knew that Yoo Ah In, Go Kyung Pyo, and Im Soo Jung being so good playing their characters, but this time I just discovered Kwak Si Yang's acting skill. He really nailed that heartless executor.

Thanks so much gummimochi! You've taken my feelings and given them life with your words.
I'm so blown away by this episode. It was so good, while painful, to see how everything unfolded and to understand why. To know why things are as they are in the present and how they follow on logically from what went on in the past. Best of all is to be able to feel so much for everyone. So much warmth and pathos and the feeling of a great loss. This story is not my history or anything close to my life, but I can identify with the characters so well... what wonderful story telling this is!
And you know what sticks with me, is that look in Soo Hyun's eyes when she looked at Yul... it was not fear or pleading, but a determined look with an unspoken order: "never reveal his name." In the end, Yul was right. Soo Hyun would never betray Hwi Young, but he probably never did think, that he would, instead.
I kind of miss the funny, lighter mood of first episodes, even as I know that with the later reveals, near death and crime, there can no longer be the same light-hearted tone. Still, I'd so love to have an ending where not only will it be beautiful and sweet, but not quite so sad, you know?
And as you said: "there aren’t enough words in the English lexicon to adequately describe how I feel" except that it was sooooo good. I trust that we'll have a great finale with lots of hope. (I'm going to watch it now!!!).
Still.... tissues at the ready? (check)

At times, I feel like the penultimate episodes in some dramas are not executed well. Sometimes they drag things out or add too much filler.

The 1930's tragic end was so beautifully done. Even though it made me a disgusting mess of feelings, I wouldn't change a thing about it. It was just so tragically beautiful, and hit all the right notes. It hurt so good. It was so depressing that Yul ended up giving away Hwi-young's identity, but I'm glad the writers stayed true to his character. It wouldn't have really been believable for me if he endured everything, because he's always been much softer a character. I think that's why he compliments Hwi-young so well, because while Hwi-young is able to stay cold and logical, Yul's emotional and more sensitive personality balances it out. It's sad that it ended up as the cause for their end.
This show certainly got better towards the end, and I think a lot of that is due to the 1930's screen time. Their bittersweet story always was a huge pull for me in the show. While I do like the present storyline as well, the 1930's storyline carried so much weight and emotion to it.

Yes, you could say, it's both thier personalities that lead to the tragedy. Had SHY promised Yul that he'd do everything to save RSH, they Yul would have trusted him and waited for a better plan. SHY would have probably gone to save her on his own anyway, like he was doing at the end, but trying to be the cold leader sacrificing everything for the cause is what Yul come up with this foolish plan. Because, while really heroic (putting his life at risk in exchange for RSH took courage), it was foolish.

Don't throw the blame on the leader for thinking the bigger cause. He was thinking of the whole comrades and that included the people they loved, not just one person. He would not easily made a promise that he wasn't sure he could keep. But he already decided to return to save them as a man and as a friend. Unfortunately, Yool had ousted him and his friends, so everything failed. Yool already decided to part ways from the SHY, so what he did was all his responsibilities.
