Chicago Typewriter episode 11 (Long post incoming)

First of all I’d like to say this drama is really jabbing me right in the feels. That talk Yul had with Bang Jin’s mom was straightforward and honestly something Yul had to hear. It’s heartbreaking but it’s absolutely true. He’s a ghost who in the end doesn’t belong together with humans. I still want him to reveal himself to Seol, although I’m afraid that after his conversation with BJ’s mom he’ll decide not to. ☹ I’m also glad that Yul has never attempted to lead BJ on and has been consistently telling her he’s already interested in someone else, even if said person already likes Se Ju. Also, I feel like they’ve been severely neglecting the storyline which involves Yul trying to find out how he died. I cannot imagine him betraying past Se Ju, so it’s really stumping me on figuring out the mystery of his death and how it’s connected to what happened in the past. My final words on Yul’s character, is that I hate how that they made such a loveable second lead who has absolutely no chance to get w/ the girl he loves. I think this is the worst case of second lead syndrome I’ve seen. Since from the start we all knew that he’d have no chance, but it still didn’t stop us from loving him. T-T Perhaps it won’t be with the girl he loves, but I hope he finds his own sort of happiness by the end of the series.

I loved the talk Se-Ju had with Seol throughout the episode. Seol is feeling immense guilt towards Se-Ju because she believes she killed him in the past, but Se Ju is having none of that. He tells her that while they do have a connection because of their past lives, the past doesn’t essentially dictate how they live in the present. Basically saying history isn’t going to repeat itself and reassuring her that even if she did hurt him in the past, she sure as hell is doing the opposite now. Since she has saved him on several occasions too. This talk was definitely needed since Seol was beating herself up and I’m glad Se-Ju was there to deliver it even if it was in a hospital of all places lol. Also, I’d like to note that Se-Ju has been getting smoother in each upcoming episode. Like him leading with these words, “I think I loved you in my past life. Nevertheless, I think I closed off my heart so I could date you to my heart’s content when our country was liberated. This isn’t paying for your crimes; this is an acquittal. An opportunity. So today, I’m going to do something for the sake of my homeland”, was just the right amount of being sweet and serious. He means to comfort her but also to show that he is serious about their relationship and that he’ll never turn away from her because of mistakes she might’ve made in her past life. Wow it was a cheeky line, but it was an effective one!!

Hope to see Se-Ju’s awesomely hot wig and the rest of the characters in the upcoming episodes!!!
