INTRESTING
Basically, this drama is quite good for it's genre. It focuses on the 'revenge'. But as the drama progresses it gives insight of many other things. It has a slow romance plot and if you're looking for a romantic drama this might be not the one. Still there are moments where you feel the connection between the leads even though the romance isn't strong. Loved how they portrayed the villain part. But felt like the backstory was a little bit lacking, yet didn't feel disappointed. The concept of family also really was up to the point. And the acting of the monsters and OMG! Lee joon's acting was just amazing. Idk I was really in need of a hot villain and this was it. Music is also good.The ending was what most people didn't like. But for me I expected the ending. Because most of the fantasy dramas-from Goblin to A Korean Odyssey had a similar type of ending. The finale of these types of drama is quite the same. And everything was neatly tied up.
But their are many cons in the drama. The ending kind of felt rushed or they just tried to fit most of the important parts to the final episode. But the ride was worth it. There are some plot holes and questions that still feels unanswered. Some of the episodes felt like filler because nothing important happened.
But overall loved how refreshing the plot is and how the leads grow on eachother. And how the drama unfolds, the mystery part is great.
This drama is NOT for everyone. Some will like it and some won't. If you're in for something refreshing and not the usual cliche's, I will totally recommend this. Go for it!

Big NO
Omg what was this!? First running of from marraige and meeting the ML was the only scene were i felt somewhat logical. The whole drama was just many plot devices to move on with the show. The first few episodes was enjoyable. When the FL asks ger friend/roommate to quit her job, she quits it just like that. I mean they just met a few days back.... And the gossiping community, ML fans (but in some moments were they supported him was good), the other lead just kidnapping the girls. And not to mention them being friends again because the ML protected him from his fans.I did not like the acting at all. Many moments felt childish and just rubbish. The bank ad moments were rediculous and out of nowhere.
Even after falling from clif both of them did not have any inguries. And even the breaking up part. Or after comfession part. The grandpa being sick and then magically gets better. FL rescuing ML from being married (I actually thought that was a dream). Even his mangement comany felt like a total fool to me.
And issues like sui©ide and toxic behaviour is taken in a light form. One moment k!lling youdself, next moment getting married. And the ML not liking how pretty the FL actually looked... And magically at the end everything is perfect and happy. Idk if that was actually happy? Like bith of them not choosing their careers. They could be still dating after going abroad for whatever they wanted.. I could just go on and on about these things.
I was actually looking forward to watch this because it had 'college' tag but no any college moment at all. I wanted to watch something cliche and light, just to spent my time and had hopes for this. Total wastage of potential: could have been a good one.

JUST GO FOR IT!
I would totally recommend this drama to anyone who loves a slow pacing drama. Eventhough it's not that slow as well. For me it's the perfect pacing. The characters portrayed are human I'd say. They have their own flaws. I love how they make mistakes and works through them. People make mistakes and the point is that what you do to correct them. A regular rom-com drama with a new setting. I love how they showed everyone and their past and perspectives. All of the actors did an amazing job. The musics were on point; in love with all the ost's. Some of the parts in the story need a little bit development. Some of the episodes felt rushed while others felt slow. Especially the last ones; somewhere it felt quite rushed. But still the closing was perfect. This is one of those drama you should go without expecting anything and love every bit of it. That's how it was for me.OKAY EVERYTHING WAS TOTALLY MY OPINION.

You would never forget it.
okay honestly I was debating on whether to give 8.5 or 9 for the rating but decided on 9 because of how hot ML is. I mean just the glasses get the .5 rating. I love the hairstyle and the suits.( I am talking of their past lives not present. )The storyline is amazing and really one of a kind BUT, it could have been portrayed better. Something fell clumsy and unordered while watching the whole thing. I just bing watched the whole thing in 1 and half days. The script and story was good but the way in which it was told was kinda flat. And I personally felt there could have been more past life scenes.
Casting/acting/music idc everything was just top-notch. And that just one kiss scene (iykyk).
As someone who loved Mr Sunshine and hoped for the same here(I know nothing could be that level), Chicago typewriter didn't actually meet my expectations. I had hopes for this one, but yea couldn't meet the bar set by Mr Sunshine I guess.
Without comparing or just pulling off any expectations I would have loved it. Chicago typewriter has its own charms and characters I'll always keep in my heart. Just the thing that it felt slow in their present lives and I just wanted to see their whole past life. I guess that's what made this drama a bit draggy for me.
Apart from all of that, I think everyone should watch it and decide if it's worth their time or not. It's captivating to pull you enough and make you watch the whole thing.

Refreshing
I really enjoyed the drama. The ML here is my personal favourite type of men. Not the arrogant one but the cute and easygoing one. I really love his personality. The story is refreshing and very likable. From the comedy elements to the dipressing ones, everything was neatly put out. I loved the family and the friends dynamics. Personally the college moments is my fav. A flawed SML whom I just wanted to kick out of the screen many times. Though the story has many flaws. And felt the need to tie up some endings properly/ why it happened in the first place. There was lack of explanation or motive. But both the ML and FL makes up for those parts with there characters.Was this review helpful to you?
If you love the genre you go for it or maybe if you're curious of what happened just watch the last 2 eps. Everything is there. Also a small dumb FL alert.
