[ Chicago Typewriter Special: First reveal of behind-the-scenes ]
Hello, I'm Go Kyung Pyo portraying the role of Yoo Jin Oh in Chicago Typewriter.
Today, we've prepared a special time thanks to the love from our fans.
Chicago Typewriter Special, first reveal of the behind-the-scenes, with me...
We'll begin right now.
[ Chicago Typewriter script reading location ]
First of all, there was our first meeting of the actors and the production team in March.
- Good to meet you. - Good to meet you.
[ Main characters of Chicago Typewriter arrive one by one ]
[ Yoo Ah In Role of Han Se Ju ]
[ Im Soo Jung Role of Jeon Seol ]
Perhaps because it's our first meeting... Everyone seems a little nervous. [ Go Kyung Pyo Role of Yoo Jin Oh ]
[ Jin Soo Wan Writer ]
I hope we're happy and have fun while working together. Let's do a good job. [ Director Kim Cheol Gyoo ]
After the director's introduction, the script reading began.
I said I'll write it!
I'll hand you the script before my deadline. Get out of here, a**hole. [ Celebrity writer Han Se Ju portrayed by Yoo Ah In ]
When I try, I was able to pull it off. But I don't see a possibility when it comes to us seeing each other on a personal level. [ World-renowned bestseller writer ]
What I'm saying is, how do you always show up at the right time as if you know when I'll get into an accident?
Write something great. [ Writer mania "Jeon Seol" portrayed by Im Soo Jung ]
Not the type of writing that seduces women and dreams of wealth. A really amazing writing.
[ The passionate writer mania who finishes what she starts ]
- One person and a dog. Both of you'll die! - Okay, this way. Come this way.
Do you know how many golden eggs I had you lay? Yet you hold me by the neck just because I said... [ Real ghostwriter Yoo Jin Oh portrayed by Go Kyung Pyo ]
A ghostwriter who'd write for you during your slump period. [ A mysterious man who appears suddenly one day with the typewriter ]
Our fantastic chemistry... It began here. [ They show off their fantastic chemistry from their first meeting ]
No wonder why you only measure up that much! [ Chun Ho Jin portraying Baek Do Ha ]
I guess the next book was so-so? [ Kwan Si Yang portraying Baek Tae Min ]
Let him leave you from time to time. [ Jeon Su Kyeong portraying Big Bell Fairy ]
I like your work. [ Jo Kyung Sook, role of Hong So Hee ]
I'll just stuff you in there! [ The actors do their best even during rehearsal as if it's the real thing ]
Don't be mistaken. [ Filled with passion ]
Good, good dog... Come here.
You're crazy! It's not over there!
This chance... what's up... I'll do my best here.
You a**hole!
It wasn't an actual taping, but the passion is amazing, right?
Our first meeting with a great atmostphere. For some reason, we all felt good about it. [ Script Reading ends in great mood ]
Two things I don't need in my life. [ Yoo Ah In x Im Soo Jung x Go Kyung Pyo, Fantastic combination of actors ]
A ghostwriter and woman.
I'm Yoo Ah In portraying the role of the celebrity writer Han Se Jun in the drama Chicago Typewriter.
I'm actress Im Soo Jung portraying the role of Jeong Seol.
I'm actor Go Kyung Pyo portraying the role of Yoo Jin Oh.
Popular actor Yoo Ah In. [ Popular actor Yoo Ah In who goes back and forth between movies and TV dramas ]
I thought maybe he would be an out-of-box character beyond your imagination.
A great actress Im Soo Jung. [ A great actress who is making her comeback in a TV drama in 13 years ]
My heart was beating so hard.
As soon as I read the script, I fell for it at first sight.
I felt that it's going to be a great project.
Including me, Go Kyung Pyo [ Charming actor Go Kyung Pyo ]
I was curious what our synergy would be.
I was anticipating how it would translate through this project.
Chicago Typewriter which stole the hearts of three of us.
It can never be completely finished. But you have to put a period at the end at some point... I think there is that mysterious emotion there.
I'm a crazy fan. Really a huge mania.
But due to a certain event, I become an anti-fan.
Since I'm a mysterious character...
I thought that I had to control myself from forcing myself to look that way.
Even though we bicker, there are moments where we exchange warm feelings toward each other.
Makes you wonder if he's truly like that. They resemble each other a lot.
So, I think those elements make the character more attractive.
I wondered what would happen if Im Soo Jung portrayed Seol. And a good picture came together.
They're both two proven actors. So...
I want to learn a lot through this project.
We were counting the days for us to show ourselves to you. [ Finished the poster shoot! The actors are completely ready ]
I can't write. [ The teaser video clip was a huge hit ]
I'll write it for you. But I have a condition.
What is the condition?
[ Chicago Typewriter Press Conference ]
And we were so nervous when we said our first hello to you.
Please have high expectation as to what kind of writing will come out of it.
As the story moves forward, the mood of the drama becomes more serious.
And it becomes a very dense melodrama.
And shall I say the desperate anger of the youth who have lost their country in the 1930s...
Heartbreaking love and agonizing camaraderie among independence fighters.
And their tragic deaths.
The stories of their endings continuing onto the modern times.
Some serious stories are in the backdrop.
They're coming this way, so change the direction like this.
That's how a special story of jumping back and forth between current life and past life began. [ Mysterious and antique romance among the three, Chicago Typewriter ]
Already, eight episodes were aired in no time.
Our story has grabbed the attention of our viewers causing many of you to watch the episodes again. [ Increase in popularity! Chicago Typewriter causes viewers to watch the episodes again ]
You continue to fall into the drama more you get to know about it.
The second act has begun as the stories from their past lives have been told.
I think viewers want to watch the stories from the first act all over again.
It's a fun drama you want to watch over and over again.
It's a mixture of a historical piece and a mystery.
I think it's popular because there's so much to see.
Now that the duality of the story line is being revealed...
I think people want to revisit curious and interesting points.
I think many people re-watch the drama from the first episode.
Also, the legendary OST music director Nam Hye Seung...
The songs help viewers to get into the story receiving lots of love.
As the puzzle pieces come together that crosses over time... Chicago Typewriter opens up its second act.
We'll take a look at each character's charms.
[ Chicago Typewriter ]
[ Celebrity Writer after women's heart, Han Se Ju ]
Five days after its publishing, Unfair Game...
came up on the list. Recently... [ A literary celebrity writer who takes over the news headlines ]
A literary celebrity writer who takes over the news headlines days at a time.
He's a talented genius whose work becomes a success every time he publishes his work.
Celebrity writer Han Se Ju who looks as good as his writing.
As a result, this is his nickname.
A call...
Who the heck is it? I was about to get into and cut some rug!
Gold Egg...
I'll give you 20 minutes. If you don't come, I won't extend my contract.
But his personality is... Born party pooper who chases away all the fun
I just saw Usain Bolt.
At that rate, it's teleport. [ Teleporting Goblin? ]
One day...
Do you know this gun's nickname?
He starts to hear a strange voice when he approaches a mysterious typewriter.
Since then, his surroundings start to change.
He became a writer who can't even write a word from a write who wrote like crazy.
[ Han Se Ju in a slump ]
There's too much damage if the project worth 10 billion falls apart.
Geez, that stupid project! [ Han Se Ju gets angry because of his frustration ]
So, are you saying you'll write for me or what?
Just lend him your name! Let's hire a ghostwriter.
That was a thunderclapping suggestion to him. [ Secretive suggestion to hire a ghostwriter ]
What?
As expected, Han Se Ju I know was not afraid to find out what the truth was. [ Truth is near ]
He approaches someone who's typing away in his writing studio without hesitation. [ Sound of a typewriter coming from the writing studio ]
Who are you? [ He finally meets a mysterous man ]
Who are you, a**hole!
As you can see, I'm hiding behind your name and writing in your place...
A ghostwriter... Yoo Jin Oh.
[ Han Se Ju finds out about the existence of the ghostwriter Yoo Jin Oh ]
I get my writing stolen from me...
I never steal someone else's writing.
Looks like his pride was very hurt.
I sense that our meeting will go over smoothly.
In order to clear up the rumor that's been going around regarding a ghostwriter... [ Han Se Ju decides to reveal the truth at the press conference ]
That's why I came here today.
Honest, I was stunned.
There was something I hadn't told him yet.
What happened?
Who the hell are you, a**hole! [ Han Se Ju falls into confusion ]
Didn't I tell you?
I'm hiding behind your name writing in your place, ghostwriter Yoo Jin Oh... [ The ghostwriter Yoo Jin Oh's excuse continues ]
It's just that...
Just?
I'm a real ghost.
I'm a ghost who was trapped in there for 80 some years. [ Yoo Jin Oh's identity is a ghost who was trapped inside the typewriter ]
Han Se Ju who doesn't trust anyone... Would he believe me?
So, I'm about to show him a new world. [ Yoo Jin Oh guides Han Se Ju into the new world ]
To show him another himself from 80 some years ago he's not aware of... [ Han Se Ju meets another himself in the 1930s ]
Even though my country was taken away...
They can't take away writing from me.
In independent Korea...
I'll write whatever I want to like crazy.
My friend Seo Hwi Yeong from his past life was also a writer. [ Han Se Ju's past life = Literary figure Seo Hwi Yeong of 1930s ]
So, you write third rate romance novels? I'd rather not write then.
If I can't write, I'd be the same as a ghost. He still likes to brag, right?
Look at this vicious b****!
However, he was also a gun shooting independent fighter as well. [Seo Hwi Yeong who had to live a double life to free his country.
But he rescues a young girl despite the danger he faced at one point. [ Meeting a girl putting his life on the line ]
What's your name?
You're so bold...
Do something to benefit your country even this way.
That bold girl because a woman who stunned him in no time. [ The identity of that girl was passionate independent fighter Ryu Soo Hyeon ]
Do you know this gun's nickname?
I'm not sure. What is it?
Because the sound of the gun sounds like a typewriter, it's called Chicago Typewriter.
So worthless.
So?
A pen is stronger than a sword and a typewriter is stronger than a gun.
So?
Write something great.
Not the kind that talks about seducing women and dreaming of wealth. A really amazing writing.
Did she hit the spot?
A Soo Hyena's one word, my friend changed.
A true writer who strives for great writing. [Seo Hwi Yeong takes his first step toward great writing
However, he easily loses his composure due to Soo Hyeon's playing tricks on him. [ Soo Hyeon plays tricks on him by running away with his script ]
Hey, bring that back to me!
Take a seat. She'll come when it's time.
You think I can take a seat? When I think of what kind of mean comments Soo Hyeon will make... [ Hwi Yeong is curious what his first reader Soo Hyeon's response is going to be ]
They're bitter foes.
On the other hand, Soo Hyeon can't bring herself to speak up easily. [ Awkward current that flows between them when they're alone ]
I'll give you some painkillers. When the medicine goes in, you'll get sleepy like crazy...
I totally loved it.
I felt it the minute I started reading that novel.
He'll be an amazing writer.
So, keep writing. [ Soo Hyeon encourages him in his own way ]
I'll hold the gun, you hold the pen.
You can use a knife like this for your comrades.
When we're working hard at what we're supposed to do, don't you think we'll have our independence someday? [ Dream of their country's independence, it will happen as long as you don't give up ]
Soo Hyeon tells him not to give up on his passion for writing no matter what difficulties may come.
That novel... I hope you get to complete it.
Whoever that may be. For sure.
What a crappy world. This is all I have to hang onto.
Is that how your life was? Han Se Ju receives similar comfort from her like in his past life ]
It's still like that.
I think it's still the same way now.
So, is writing a novel your last desperate attempt?
What kind of writer do you want to be?
A creative writer.
Ah... a writer who doesn't copy anyone else?
No. A writer no one can copy.
And Han Se Ju owes his life to her in this life. [ Jeon Seol appears whenever Han Se Ju faces danger ]
Who brought me here?
I gave you urgent care with various emergency medicine and materials in the villa.
She saved Han Se Ju once more at the verge of death.
I knew it then already. That he'll become an amazing writer. [ 2017 Jeon Seol ]
So, keep writing. 1930 Ryu Soo Hyeon
The completion of the novel is what Soo Hyeon wished also.
So, I beg you. Please keep writing.
Two people both tell Han Se Ju in current life and Hwi Yeong from past life not to stop. [ The reason not to stop writing ]
He seems confused from the truths he just found out. [ Han Se Ju is concerned over completion of his novel and mistrust he's had for a long time ]
This is a decision he has to make.
Could you think of it as our friendship?
Say that you're obliging to a request of a long time friend.
You may not know, but behind the word "Friendship," the word "Betrayal" is stuck to it.
If I accept your request, I'll get to depend on you forever.
That's the reality. [ An old friend's changed heart ]
You've changed a lot. [ Ghost Yoo Ji Oh has no choice but to turn away ]
The time has changed.
This is the world that's tough to survive in unless you're cold. [ His desperate plea doesn't get to Se Ju ]
I think I've come to the wrong person.
That's why I kept telling you.
I'm sorry... for bothering you.
Then, I'll get going.
The mistrust that stems from his wound. When will it be healed? [ Yoo Jin Oh disappears in a moment ]
While I was gone, Han Se Ju tries to overcome his slump in his own way. [ New hobby he seeks out to overcome his slump ]
But he decides to trust in someone. [ People who still cheer him on ]
♫ Here we are... ♫
I place my hand on your forehead.
You worked so hard.
You worked hard to live, to survive, to come all this way.
I pray that his happiest moments are not yet here.
Like that, she changes him.
I'll write! I'll write! I'll write, so come out right now! [ Han Se Ju calles out for Yoo Jin Oh once more ]
Let's write it together.
I think I can begin again as the writer Han Se Ju.
His goal is to overcome his slump. [ Han Se Ju slowly overcomes the slump ]
So, what's next?
- He keeps his promise. - Let's go. [ Keeping his promise with Yoo Jin Oh = protecting Jeon Seol ]
When I see you, Jeon Seol...
My heart beats fast.
My heart also leaped hearing his honest confession.
But I don't know whether that's because of you, Jeon Seol...
Or if it's someone whom I used to know a long time ago... I'm confused.
Oh, my God... - Use a chicken if you can't get a pheasant?
What?
What the heck is this situation?
He only knows how to write. He has no idea what women feel. [ Han Se Ju's first confession is a failure ]
I think I'm going to have to teach him one. [ Be direct at a time like this ]
You've never dated, right?
Who says that I've never dated?
How can you compare her to another woman in a situation like that?
Did I compare? I said I was confused.
That's the same thing!
You're saying you see another woman through her. What kind of woman would like that?
It's normal for her to get angry!
He becomes a pure man in love in front of her. Han Se Ju's true feelings toward Jeon Seol
[ Jeon Seol can't stop crying from feeling of relief ]
What's with this dramatic reaction? [ Han Se Ju can't hide his embarrassment ]
Did you come with Ryu Soo Hyeon tonight, too?
Are there three people tonight as well?
Who are you looking at right now?
I'm looking at you, Jeon Seol.
There are three people. There's only two of us.
You and me.
Han Se Ju overcomes his slump and hit home with Jeon Seol through his genuine confession.
The three of us reunite... What kind of truth would we target? Three of them reunite in 2017
[ Chicago Typewriter's Muse, Jeon Seol ]
She leads a passionate life at all times.
Jeon Seol. She's fallen deep for the celebrity writer Han Se Ju
- By chance, are you Hannah Kim? - You know this...
He'll know if you tell him it's a gift from a cafe in Chicago.
You must deliver it to him in person. For sure. I'll leave it to you.
Let's see...
Writer Han Se Ju...
No way... that Han Se Ju?
A chance of a life time comes to her to meet Writer Han Se Ju.
You have a package delivery.
How did you get in here?
Pardon?
Well... that's because... you opened the door...
I opened the door? I did?
Who are you? A stalker?
I'm from Will Do Anything Errand Service.
Then, I'll put the package inside.
- I don't let an unknown package inside my house. - Why not?
They say ideals are different from reality.
Jeon Seol, are you alright? You're shocked, huh?
Hello, Writer.
How did you get in here?
Well... I heard from the vet.
I feel so sorry for him.
Why don't you try to be more creative?
Excuse me?
I guess it would loosen up the other person if you were to use a dog to commit a crime.
What is your identity?
I told you. I'm your very first fan.
I know people like you very well.
Saying that you're a crazy fan, just because you like me, using the excuse that you respect me...
You lock up the other person inside your imagination and obsess about that person.
When that imagination is destroyed, you turn into an anti-fan right away.
You attack and threaten.
Get lost before I call police. I don't need fans like you.
She tries to visit him again, but she's kicked out at the door.
[ Soon after, Se Ju gets into a car accident ]
[ Jeon Seol appears in front of him ]
Do you think she's trying to take a revenge? I thought Han Se Ju was going too far.
Unfortunately, the road is closed due to the rain yesterday. The EMT couldn't come right away.
I gave you urgent care with various emergency medicine and materials in the villa.
That kind woman. She rescued Se Ju.
How did you know to appear right on time? That's what I'm saying!
Why? You think this is a plan, too?
This is my dad's villa! Got it?
I'm crazy. I shouldn't have saved him again.
That's what I'm saying.
Hey, friend, you still haven't come to your senses?
You said we've met before, right?
Supply sugar. I'm your very first fan.
Fortunately, Se Ju remembers his connection to Jeon Seol from long ago.
I'm sorry about last time.
And I'm grateful for this time.
Why don't you laugh? You used to laugh a lot.
You said I remind you of Misery. So I decided not to laugh.
Since you kept saying I'm a stalker, I stopped writing you a letter altogether. [ Unlike what she was saying, Jeon Seol still likes Se Ju ]
But why is your heart beating fast?
- Who? - You.
Didn't you know? Your heart is beating extremely fast.
[ Bickering... They clear up misunderstanding toward each other ]
After they cleared up the misunderstanding, they become closer.
Have you ever sold your country out?
I must've in my past life.
But why don't you write your novel series?
You said you're not my fan anymore. Why are you waiting for it?
I'm your fan #1. I have shares, you know.
Why did you quit shooting?
When I hold my gun, I see my past life.
I see a scene where I shot someone in my past life.
[ She was struggling with sudden memories of her past life ]
Who is that?
I don't know. I only see his back.
But I don't think it was someone I should've killed.
Whenever I think of that scene...
I'm so sad, feel agony, and have a heartache...
My hands keep shaking. I couldn't hold a gun anymore.
Jeon Seol tells Se Ju of her secret.
Do you know this gun's nickname?
I'm not sure. What is it?
Because the sound of the gun is similar to a typewriter, it's called Chicago Typewriter.
Pretty cool.
And?
A pen is stronger than a sword. A typewriter is stronger than a gun.
So?
I'm saying you should write something great.
Not the kind that seduces women and dreams of wealth. A really great writing.
If you do that, the safety and force will suffer.
Actually, Jeon Seol and Se Ju's relationship began in their past life.
With the names Soo Hyeon and Hwi Yeong.
Hurry up. Hurry! Speed it up! You said you memorize things quickly and learn fast.
When will you finish the script typing like that!
Then your handwriting should've been clearer.
Unbeknownst to themselves, the two were living out similar lives in current life as in past life.
That novel... I felt it the minute I started reading it.
This guy will be a great writer.
That's when I knew. I thought this person will be a great writer.
So, keep writing.
And I prayed for him.
Was it a lingering feeling or commitment?
Or maybe something he didn't want to forget even in death...
Could it have been an unforgettable story or person?
What could be her secret from her past life? Could she remember her past life in its entirety?
[ Key to reversal, Yoo Jin Oh ]
There are only two people who know of my existence.
A woman who stared at me.
He's smiling.
I guess my smile is pretty good.
[ Great manners, He gently picks up red beans for her ]
He's so gentle.
How about my manners?
And here... here...
The way she looked at me was quite serious.
Heart.
Not. Red bean.
The shaman's daughter Ma Bang Jin who recognized me.
And so-called celebrity writer Han Se Ju.
She's a thing of beauty, huh?
That's from your country actually. Korea.
Yeah, that was handcrafted way back in 1930s Gyeongseong.
That night, the typewriter Han Se Ju saw starts to move by itself.
Without anyone typing it. Ultimately, the typewriter fulfills its goal.
There's one more entity who went to Han Se Ju.
Did something pass by?
If you eat that, I'll kill you!
After swallowing the USB filled with Han Se Ju's sweat and blood...
A dog who ran away.
Then one day, Han Se Ju gets into a huge car accident.
We can't reach him.
A fax arrives at the publishing office that is in a panick state.
It's Writer Han's script!
His series continues without any problems.
But Han Se Ju senses that someone is writing in his place.
Because I was behind it.
Answer me! I asked you what you were doing!
If you don't like the script I wrote last time...
- You ripped it up to shreds. I was going to try again... - Who says?
- Who says? Who says? - I did. No...
No, I mean... My heart says to help you...
Come here. I'm sure he doesn't like me.
Can't we talk it out?
Come here quietly and let me hold you by the neck when I'm being nice to you.
It's insulting to be held by my neck. Moreover, it's hard for me to breathe.
I don't think I can answer you well.
Since I'm staying with him, I get to naturally find out his weakness he doesn't want to reveal.
You wrote "Destiny" in place of Writer Baek Tae Min...
Were you his ghostwriter?
Just by looking at his facial expression, I can tell what he's thinking. I'm sure he's curious.
Hey, friend.
As a typewriter in the beginning...
Are you alright, Writer?
It's me, Writer.
I said it's me, Writer.
I've also turned into a dog.
Did you just speak?
Yes, Writer. I told you.
I can't enter a human body just yet, but...
I can enter an animal...
Ah! There's also a portrait.
I know you're there.
[ Quiet ]
Come out when I'm being nice!
How can I even make a noise because he's so scary?
Come out!
I can hide inside anything besides a human person. This is what I look like at the time.
I got caught unexpectedly. What should I do now?
A little bit longer...
Should I play with him?
Are you awake now?
But I don't think he's ready to get close to me yet.
Writer, let's talk...
Actually, there's only one reason why I wanted to stay by Han Se Ju.
[ Brilliant times during the 1930s, Last truth that has not been resolved ]
I beg you.
Please complete that novel.
That's the only way to find out how I died...
Why I couldn't reincarnate and get trapped inside that typewriter...
I can find out.
And one person who holds on to me.
It's comforting to me to watch her from afar.
The woman I know from 80 some years ago must've been reincarnated as her.
[ Ryu Soo Hyeon's reincarnation, Jeon Seol ]
She was a woman dressed as a man.
You can't react to it. Then your body might fall back naturally or...
We were comrades who fought for our country's independence.
- Were you successful? - At 8 o'clock. The train to Shinhaejoon.
Comrade Choi Myeong Gyoo will deliver the military funds to Manchuria.
The Prime Minister will be happy.
But I keep worrying about her.
There was a gun shooting fight.
Let's see.
Get away. The police is following.
Why don't you take a look at Soo Hyeon's wound a little later?
Wound? What wound?
A gunshot wound. It didn't hit her. It grazed her.
No, I don't want to. I don't want treatment.
My heart toward her is still the same.
I'm a bit awkward and shy. So, I'll let this do.
She's not even aware of my existence, but she's still so lovely.
She's such a sweetheart.
Shut your mouth!
Oh, no. Han Se Ju was talking to me, but I think Jeon Seol misunderstood.
[ Jeon Seol is increasingly hurt over Han Se Ju's rude comments ]
I'm too tired right now. Well, you should go...
Are you that tired?
You're going to let her leave already? Why?
What do you care!
Hey, get lost! Get lost please!
Why do you keep jumping in? You're out of line!
I was lost for words.
I'm sorry I was out of line. I'll get going.
I think it's really a big trouble.
[ A huge disaster ]
But she's upset over another man, not me.
Stop drinking. You'll hurt your stomach like this.
[ Yoo Jin Oh stays by Jeon Seol's side while she's upset ]
That Han Se Ju moron...
Why is he so selfish and can't trust anyone?
I know. He wasn't like that before, right?
If I had found you first...
Would you have believed me?
♫ Here is our story... ♫
If...
♫ From time to time... ♫
I had been seen by your eyes first...
♫ You'll dust off... ♫
If that had happened... would you have welcomed me like before?
[ Magical moment where their eyes met ]
♫ At one moment... ♫
Something is strange.
It seems like she's really looking at me.
[ Jeon Seol smiles at him ]
I know it couldn't be, but my heart dropped.
[ If only this moment was real... ]
Could she see me right now?
Longer I'm with her, my heart becomes more desperate.
I realized that I want to be with her forever. So I made a decision.
In place of helping you come out of your slump,
please get rid of the men who are wandering around Jeon Seol.
All of them.
[ Stunned ] What?
I'm asking you to stop my woman from dating.
It's not that difficult of a task.
You're crazy.
Do you think I'll do such a childish and cowardly thing?
He refuses again.
Let me ask you one thing.
Why are you so obsessed with Jeon Seol?
To me, protecting Jeon Seol is just as important as finishing the novel.
Are you saying you want to fulfill the love you couldn't have in your past life or what?
The three of us are walking side by side first time in a long time.
Who's missing me so much?
They say it means someone is thinking of me if one of the shoelaces are off.
Would there be someone like that for me? It's all superstition.
Han Se Ju kneels down at what she says.
[ Han Se Ju ties Jeon Seol's shoelace for her ]
There is someone like that.
Someone who's been waiting for you for nearly 100 years.
You may not know, but he's wandering around you and watching you.
So, live boldly.
[ Two men's hearts for Jeon Seol ]
♫ It's my prayer ♫
Would it be okay to keep writing this novel?
♫ Do you know where... ♫
Contract item 100, number 1.
Whatever may lie at the end of the novel...
you must complete it.
Behind-the-scenes jumping through time and space. We reveal it now.
2017 and 1930.
Weren't you curious about the two backdrops?
The place that's drawing the most attention is celebrity writer Han Se Ju's house.
It's got antique yet chic sensibility.
Picky and sensitive Han Se Ju communicates with many different characters here.
It's the only space that takes place. So, a variety of characters in the drama came through here.
This space that's filled with books symbolizes the pride of an author of our times.
You said you saw it all. You said you heard it all!
He came again.
At times, I don't refuse dressing up as someone else to become the main character in my work.
The space we can't leave out for a celebrity writer who's got idol-level looks. It's his closet.
[ This is the dignity of a bestseller author ]
Is this the dignity of an author with wealth of copyrights?
But actor Yoo Ah In checks the writer's essential element eyeglasses first.
Writing is a physical fight.
The most important space for Han Se Ju. It's also the space I dwell in.
It's the writing studio where our story begins.
Including the writing studio, there's a secret in this house you can easily pass unnoticed.
Han Se Ju and Seo Hwi Yeong.
There's a reason why the two don't feel like strangers even though they live in different eras.
Skybridge that can be seen in their studios in current life and past life.
The window with a similar pattern behind him is also a key that connects them through the era.
[ The position of the window behind him ]
1930 which displays weight of the era.
The place where their sad yet romantic stories from one corner of their hearts begin.
It's the streets of Gyeongseong.
♪ Tomorrow's youth! ♪
You can see the city of Gyeongseong in one glance from that era in the set in Hapcheon.
[ Streets of Gyeongseong that crossed over time ]
Hello.
Doesn't it look like Hwi Yeong would be riding his bike down the street here?
He's more curious about how the streets of Gyeongseong is seen in the screen.
You can feel the realness of time as if it was transported through time.
Of course, Hwi Yeong, the modern boy as well as all the characters of the streets reflect this era.
Gyeongseong's swing jazz bar Carpe Diem is the stage for the three youths.
I also love this place very much.
There's nothing in this place that didn't pass through the staff members hard work.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Yes, it's so neat. I feel like it's a theme park.
I've never worked in an indoor set of this size.
Before when I worked on "Reply 1988," I've seen them build a neighborhood outside.
But I've never seen a huge set like this inside a building.
A movie... I think this is larger than a movie.
It says it's an expensive prop.
"Do not sit." Wow...
Wow, scary.
A phone? What's this?
Am I going to break it or something?
[ Huge curiousity as Carpe Diem's owner ]
Despite the gloomy backdrop of the era, Carpe Diem...
it's a space that portrays romanticism and energy.
They paid special attention to this place.
This isn't the only thing that reflected the era in such a detailed way.
[ The answer lies in the song Go Kyung Pyo is singing?! ]
I received a mission to sing.
I've never heard of that song before.
This is too difficult.
I have to hum this song, but my nose is stuffy.
If I keep singing it like this, I'll become familiar with it someday, right?
[ Despite the poor condition, Go Kyung Pyo is into practicing ]
This is the scene I'm rehearsing for.
[ The song with similar backdrop of the era, reborn as a great scene in Chicago Typewriter ]
♪ The streets are calling me. It's so energetic. ♪
It's an important scene that portrays one of the happy moments for the three characters.
There's actually a hidden fact behind this song.
It was a song that was introduced in 1939 which is the backdrop of our drama.
[ The melody is hard to get used to ]
Did you hear the song for the first time?
- What do we do? - It's so hard.
♪ The streets are calling me ♪
I was becoming increasingly more stressed out.
[ The burden is becoming more heavy ]
♪ The streets are alive ♪ [ Embarrassed ]
I'm not gonna sing.
Even though you're laughing, you're not really laughing.
I guess Yoo Ah In was listening to me singing carefully.
Great vibration.
Now, Im Soo Jung joins in.
We'd do a good job, right?
Sing it correctly.
[ Perfectly memorized! The result of hard work in practicing the song ]
All I can think about is getting this mission done right.
Now that I've been singing so much, the lyrics stick to my lips.
Your pupils?
Eye... well...
The streets are calling...
When you come this way, come in more.
♪ Let's whistle as we go along ♪
♪ Tomorrow's youth! ♪
Ah, okay.
[ Wrapped up the scene with a great 'Okay' ]
- Next scene! - Next scene!
The dancing scene at the youth's hangout, Carpe Diem. This scene also had a predetermined song in the background which reflects the era.
It was released in 1936 and was made famous by Benny Goodman in 1938. "Sing, Sing, Sing."
Actress Im Soo Jung is slowly warming up.
Let's go for it.
Let's do it.
Everyone! The music, cue!
It starts carefully.
Im Soo Jung is light on her feet.
Her heart may be a dancing queen, but her body won't go with it. Although it was an awkward dancing scene...
She dances lovely like Soo Hyeon in the drama.
Wow, she's quite an actress.
[ Im Soo Jung does such a love job of dancing even in the awkward dancing scene ]
Perfect!
I feel crisis coming on.
I wonder how Soo Hyeon would dance. [ Other actors also feel crisis coming on ]
How did Soo Jung dance earlier?
Like this.
Of course, Im Soo Jung was much cuter than this.
Of course, Yoo Ah In fell into dancing. I couldn't stay out, right?
- Thank you! - One, two!
Wow, our Ah In hyung... He's got quite a step.
One, two, three, cue!
Including me, we had a great time filming the scene.
[ Slips ]
Oh, Ah In, be careful. Who am I? I was able to still support him to safety.
[ The dance battle becomes more intense ]
Actors who have to portray the youth's freedom in the era of oppression.
They left their bodies to music to warp into time to the 1930s.
Having sweated quite a bit, they start monitoring the scene.
It looked much better than expected.
From now on, we reveal our own stories for the first time that are different from the drama.
Behind-the-scenes [ Aiming at the facts ]
The main character who's receiving viewers' love.
It's not Jeong Seol nor Se Ju.
It's Gyeon Woo, a cupid dog.
You're the one who swallowed my USB.
He's especially my number one fan.
He is also receiving love from all of us actors.
He makes you smile just by looking at him.
I heard the staff members fell in love with him at first sight. He was cast right off the street.
♫ Free all... ♫
But Gyeon Woo, are you sure this is your first time acting?
Ugh...
How could he act so well?
♫ Don't hold your breath ♫
On top of that, your first actress opposite you is Im Soo Jung?
I'm curious about Gyeon Woo's past life.
What? You're ready to film, Gyeon Woo?
So cute.
Excuse me for a moment.
He wants to go inside already.
You're nervous to act in front of Soo Jung, right?
You want to shake our hands?
[ Ignore, ignore ]
You don't want to. No, no.
We'll have to take that out, Director.
Can you look at me?
Gyeon Woo doesn't let just anyone be by his side. Cool dog.
It's tough, huh? Let's finish it quickly and eat.
It turns out Gyeon Woo is the master at the game of push and pull?
He made such a great scene like this with his natural acting.
Are you alright, Writer? It's me, Writer.
Were you the one who just spoke?
Yes, Writer. I can turn into an animal.
The identity of Gyeon Woo which surprised not only Se Ju, but our viewers as well.
Yes, it was me.
They call me Go Gyeon Pyo.
How about you just come up?
When Jin Oh comes out of Gyeon Woo...
Great, that was natural.
[ Acting like Gyeon Woo was the hardest ]
This is when I go into Gyeon Woo. What do you think?
Am I as cute as Gyeon Woo?
[ Copying Gyeon Woo's sitting position ]
[ Gyeon Woo and ghost Jin Oh finally meet ]
So, sorry. Gyeon Woo...
Right, you're the cutest.
Will you accept my apology?
[ This is the sight of identifying with the dog ]
[ Taking care of Gyeon Woo who is shocked ]
He got scared. What should we do?
[ Go Kyung Pyo is busy being friendly with Gyeon Woo ]
Good thing I had a chance to get into Gyeon Woo.
Don't we look good together?
They took away our country.
But they can't take away my writing.
If I can't write...
I'm same as a ghost.
I may get my writing stolen away.
I never steal someone else's writing.
Great liners Hwi Yeong and Se Ju.
Especially this scene where he burns the script... It gained attention as one of the best scenes.
So, how was the actual filming scene?
I may get my writing stolen away, but I don't copy someone else's writing.
I don't copy...
It's more correct to say "copy."
Cue!
Se Ju lights up the script for real.
[ The fire won't light up as expected. ]
I think this will take awhile. Earlier, there was something to spray on this.
There was an NG because the fire didn't light up fast enough.
We have it.
Safety first, Chicago Typewriter team. They were ready with the fire extinguisher.
[ The fire lit up well this time! ]
This time, there was an NG because the fire lit up too strong.
[ Am I shaking? ]
It lit up too strong.
The secret behind a great scene.
[ Trace of hard work behind a great scene ]
What brings you here, Writer?
What's this scene? Did you notice already?
Can you raise your tone higher?
[ Yoo Ah In and Go Kyung Pyo are working on their lines ]
- Just spray them. - All I have to do is throw them, right?
- Just open the door and throw them. - Please throw them hard at me.
Now, let's rehearse.
Alright, we'll connect all the scenes.
You want to get hit?
Until I let out a scream.
You want to get hit to your heart's content?
[ Baptism by red beans by Big Bell Fairy ]
It's the scene where Se Ju gets hit with the red beans instead of me the ghost.
It's not the real filming, but a rehearsal. But they seem real, right?
The director wasn't happy about the angle. He asks her for a full swing.
Se Ju, you'll have to prepare yourself.
How much will you throw?
[ A fistful ]
Just a moment.
Throw a lot.
[ Full swing without hesitation ]
Wait, just once. I'm sorry, just once.
Se Ju was nervous that he blinked first.
I'm sorry.
Small, but strong power of the red beans. I feel prickly as I'm watching this.
Her full swing to wrap up the scene.
[ Full swing, are you in major league by any chance? ]
I did good, right? You did good.
I wish the filming would end at one take.
Let me see how you all move.
The director looks over the movements. It's still not over.
[ Who am I? Where is this? ]
Wait, let me check.
It's best to run away at a time like this.
Se Ju gets hit by all the red beans he'd get hit in his lifetime.
[ Finally over ]
Did Se Ju get hit by this many red beans?
Yoo Ah In, you worked so hard.
Your posture faltered.
You can't be afraid of the reactive movement.
Then your body will fall back unknowingly or your arm will lower.
Se Ju's hardship is over. Is it my turn now?
[ Official scaredycat of Chicago Typewriter who gets scared at the smallest noise ]
[ Pacifist Go Kyung Pyo ]
I think it's cool.
[ He looks like a character out of a western movie ]
[ Playing around ]
I'm so scared. I feel like there's something in there.
Do we shoot?
[ Preparing for the shooting scene ]
Looking for my ear plugs.
I'm not scared here. It's just that my ear hurt.
[ As if nothing happened ]
You can't be scared of the reactive movement.
Aim!
Shoot!
Soo Hyeon doesn't even blink. So amazing.
Cut. Great.
She even smiles?
Wow, actress Im Soo Jung. She's the best.
[ I'm going home ]
Thanks to her, I got to go home early. You can tell I was happy even from afar.
[ This is the manner of Shin Yool ]
This is a hangout for me, Hwi Yeong, and Soo Hyeon, Carpe Diem.
Cheers to writer Seo Hwi Yeong who'll become a huge star of tomorrow!
The drinks are on the owner of Carpe Diem!
[ Filming the happy times in the 1930s ]
Did you think it was the real filming? We were rehearsing.
[ Rehearsing like it's the real thing! Natural scene of celebration party scene ]
We always had fun rehearsing.
[ The mood is up and up at the sound of Go Kyung Pyo's sound of exertion ]
We didn't forget to pose for our viewers.
It's not like this.
You don't do it straight on. You move up and down like this with the champaign.
You do it this way. [ Discussing how to open up a champaign bottle before filming ]
You don't aim like this. It's not this.
Now that the real filming is at hand, their playful mode disappeared, right?
This scene which was filmed after an in-depth discussion among three actors.
♫ Here lies our... ♫
♫ I'll write our story ♫
It turned into this great scene.
It's so great even after seeing it again.
[ Shin Yool's Go Kyung Pyo and Soo Hyeon's Im Soo Jung work on their lines together ]
Now, it's a cozy time between Shin Yool and Soo Hyeon.
That's right. It's a typewriter.
I like your feedback. Love Jin Oh's feedback.
If Soo Hyeon likes it, I should continue.
That's right.
[ Go Kyung Pyo gets into the song during his break ]
[ Sees the camera ]
Soo Hyeon left, but Shin Yool is still happy. He's humming naturally.
Do you sing well often?
No, I don't sing well, but I do sing often.
♫ Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars ♫
He can't stand to sit still.
[ Se Ju is stressed out because of Jin Oh ]
Jin Oh takes away the beer from Se Ju. What's the secret behind this scene?
It's not good to try to escape the reality. Why not just talk to me...
[ The secret behind the scene where the beer flies out of his hand? ]
I'm sure you thought it was CG, but it was 100% handcrafted.
[ Not CG, 100% handcrafted stick on the can ]
Like this.
- Before you open it. - Take it away.
The filming began after coordinating it with the production team.
[ Getting into filming ]
Too fast.
But something is missing, huh?
[ Awkward state continues even after coodinating the act ]
Hallowed be thy name...
This time also...
Yes, it hit there like this.
This time, they connect the beer can to the fishing line.
Cue!
Father who are in Heaven...
It was good flying out, but it hung up in the air. So, another NG.
It doesn't matter after that. Cue.
Now, it's my turn to catch the beer can.
It's not good to try to escape reality. Why not try to talk to me...
This is basic for a ghost.
Next is the scene where Se Ju and Jin Oh write up a contract.
What kind of secret hides behind this scene?
Co-writing a novel item one. I, Han Se Ju and...
I, Yoo Jin Oh...
will live together until the completion of the novel...
Now, let's do some fact checking.
Up to there for now.
Do you think we can do this as I use the typewriter, Director?
Wait a minute.
Even if you're not typing correctly...
you should look like it. Try hitting the keys.
The sound is loud. If I were to go over this noise...
I can't tell.
I have to write up a contract. But the sound of the typewriter was unexpectedly loud and was slow.
Just a moment.
In the meantime, Se Ju writes up the contract in advance.
[ I'm envious ]
I'm envious.
[ Inputting the contract conditions into his laptop ]
But you can't do that with the typewriter.
[ He feels like he's losing for some reason ]
But I'm still a smart ghost who uses a smartphone.
[ They didn't say much for awhile ]
We're actually in the middle of putting together a cheatsheet.
I may have failed with the typewriter.
[ The ending scene of episode 8 that grabbed everyone's attention ]
Now, we have the ending scene of episode 8.
Se Ju and Jeon Seol's embrace that excited out viewers.
[ Touching embrace scene, revealing behind-the-scenes for the first time! ]
The two actors are reading and preparing their emotions before the filming of the scene.
Let's try it.
Like this. I was going to give you this.
What's with such a dramatic reaction?
What do you mean? I might not do it dramatically.
I don't know how to portray this emotion...
[ Exchanging their opinions ]
What's with this reaction?
In actuality, she cried a lot showing a dramatic reaction.
[ Teary ]
In any case, if I tear up...
I won't be bawling, but...
- It's right to cry. - That's right.
Right, how would you comfort me if I cry?
Isn't it weird to hug her all of a sudden?
I don't think it's weird.
Right, right.
If you cry, you go up and hug her.
[ He tries to relax by playing around ]
It's the first embrace scene revealing Se Ju and Jeong Seol's emotions.
The two discuss seriously.
[ The staff and actors work hard to create a great scene ]
It's the opposite.
- No, this way. - Like this?
No, it's okay. That direction is good.
I'll lower myself a little bit.
Just a little bit. Show your face.
Hug her like that.
The serious discussion between the two actors and Yoo Ah In's considerate legs produced this scene.
[ Yoo Ah In's considerate legs assist in producing this great scene! ]
Let's take once more.
It was made into this beautiful scene.
♫ I won't cry, no matter what you say ♫
[ Previewing a sweet romance now that they know their true feelings for one another ]
[ Behind-the-scenes, Shooting for humor ]
Until my back breaks...
Until I get callous on my butt...
I'll do it once more. I'm sorry.
Chicago Typewriter's NG scenes, we surprise you with them now.
Good dog... if you eat... forget it... what was it?
Jeon Seol met Se Ju for the first time. Is she nervous?
You can't eat that. If you do, you'll get sick.
You, son of a b****! If you eat that... your hair...
I'll go again. Sorry.
Looks like Se Ju is nervous, too, right?
What are you doing? Why don't you get him!
He's not going.
The only actor who's not nervous here is Gyeon Woo.
He followed you in when you came in!
The door was... it opened by itself...
So unfair. You stumble over words, too.
[ Nervous, nervous ]
What are you doing? Why don't you go and get him!
Is it this way?
Without Gyeon Woo's reaction, they get confused about the movements.
What are you doing? Get him! Get him!
[ Today's NG King, Yoo Ah In ]
You'll take it off on camera.
Next is the scene where I play a trick on Se Ju and Jeon Seol.
The two hide under the table after feeling the earthquake.
Cue!
- It stopped, right? - Yes.
Yes, I think so.
Ow.
We should've saved it.
I should've saved that.
That table... Noona, are you okay?
Oh... it's earthquake!
Cut, you shook it too much.
The table shook too fast. So NG.
It's an earthquake, right?
What?
[ Shake, shake ]
Cut.
Actress Im Soo Jung thinks it's so neat that the table shakes so realistically.
Go that way. Don't push me.
I took this spot first! How can you be so selfish?
I think I forgot. What is it?
Just a moment.
I took the spot first. How can you be so selfish!
[ What was my line? ]
Are you... I'll do it again.
I got scared for real.
Se Ju and Jin Oh turned a street into a runway.
I'm sorry, but they're looking at me, not you.
Actor Yoo Ah In's flexibility avoiding an accident.
[ Jeon Seol's time when she used to be an Olympic hopeful ]
We only got to see a little bit of Jeon Seol as a Judo athlete in the drama.
So funny.
The uniform...
Shouldn't a Judo uniform be loose?
She looks good in Judo uniform. She's so cute.
So, that typewriter is what Shin Yool hyungnim gave Hwi Yeong hyungnim...
Oy...
Next, Hwi Yeong and Shin Yool turn into independence fighters.
Damn it, the intelligence leaked.
Did the weapons get discovered, too?
I copied famous movie's great scenes with Yoo Ah In.
Traitor!
[ Little rascals Go Kyung Pyo and Yoo Ah In ]
I don't think I should give you a gun.
It's big trouble.
Let's finish off here.
Too much is left. Darn it!
We succeeded in making the staff members laugh. Chicago Typewriter Special full of laughter.
