Chicago Typewriter (2017)


Episode 1.

Ignorance is not a virtue. If you have time to fight, go read some books. – Han Se Joo


A writer writes not only with his brain but also with his hands, feet, and butt. Sometimes he even disguises himself to become the character of his writing. – Han Se Joo


Perhaps the idea of getting stuck is created by whiners as an excuse to drink. – Han Se Joo


Writing is the test of your strength. – Han Se Joo


Do you know what this gun's nickname is? Because its gunshot sounds like a typewriter, it got the nickname Chicago Typewriter. A pen is stronger than a knife; a typewriter is stronger than a gun.


Once she starts something, she seems to become a legend. – Ma Bang Jin


He must have saved a country in his previous life. – Jeon Seol


Muses are like ghosts. At times, they show up without being invited. – Stephen King


I must've been the biggest traitor to my country in my past life. – Jeon Seol


Don't try to make sense of it. All I can say is that it's destiny. It might have something to do with our previous lives.


Write madly like me. – Han Se Joo


She sees delusions every time she holds a gun. She sees her past life. She sees herself shooting someone dead in her past life. – Ma Bang Jin


Episode 2.

I guess when you desperately yearn for something, you will have it in the end. – Ma Bang Jin


Everyone leaves me when they know my secret. I'll tell you about it when we become close. – Jeon Seol


It felt as if time and space were collapsing. – Han Se Joo


Today, I learned being a fan is not an easy job. – Jeon Seol


I don't believe people, especially not the ones like you who put on an innocent face and do wicked things at the back. – Han Se Joo


Do you think you are going to be successful forever? I know for a fact that you'll also hit a dead end one day! There will come a time when you'll need someone's help. When that time comes, look around you. I'm sure nobody will be there for you. – Jeon Seol


I decided to end my 10-year long fan life. I'm going to become a normal person again. - Jeon Seol


Every writer wants a muse who can inspire him. You are my muse and I am your muse.


You are just like me. We were abandoned. We are always worried about being abandoned again. We are scared and we never trust other people. – Jo Sang Cheol


Try hard. You can only survive that way. – Wang Bang Wool


Telling someone not to worry when they are worried is like telling an alcoholic to stop drinking. – Han Se Joo


I should die. A writer who can't write is dead anyway. – Han Se Joo


Episode 3.

I'm not sure whether them crossing paths is a good thing or not. I hope things don't get all tangled up. – Wang Bang Wool


From now on, don't dwell on the past. Don't sacrifice the present for the future. Be present in every minute and every second. – Jeon Seol's Father


If you save my life, I save yours too. That's the kind of person I am. – Han Se Joo


I'm sorry for last time. Thank you for this time... Oh, it makes me cringe. Don't get me wrong. I'm bad at saying these things. That's why I try not to create situations where I have to say them. – Han Se Joo


Don't go. If you go back now, an abyss will unfold. I'm a little scared. Right now, I feel like I'd be okay even if I die like this now. I don't want to go back to the old days. The time 10 years ago was like a nightmare. It was absolutely horrible. I don't want to go back. – Han Se Joo


I heard that your talent will be taken away when you can't overcome an obstacle. I don't want to see you losing the talent that you have. Your writings saved my life 10 years ago, so please don't lose your talents, for you and for me. – Jeon Seol


Ji Seok: I admit that it was a bit cruel, but if this is the only way to survive there's no need to avoid it.

Jin Oh: This is why they say sinful people are reincarnated as writers.


A sentence that doesn't contain the writer's soul is like garbage. – Baek Do Ha


Episode 4.

Looking all triumphant, he was audaciously typing away on my typewriter! – Han Se Joo


From the moment I saw you, I've been wanting to get close to you. – Baek Tae Min


I want to thank you for finding my heart. – Jeon Seol


Writers speak through their writings, you know. – Jeon Seol


Life can be tough. Books are the only things that console me. – Jeon Seol


I hope that desperate attempt turns into something solid. – Jeon Seol


I prayed for you, "I hope his tough life doesn't stall him." I hoped that it'd just be a fleeting ordeal you had to go through to be groomed into a phenomenal writer. I hoped that all the suffering would just be a training process for you. – Jeon Seol


With you, it's all or nothing. – Han Se Joo


Why do you keep appearing in my dreams, in my head, in my novels? – Han Se Joo


Are you doing this to ruin my life? Is that it? If that's what you're thinking, don't even dream. It won't happen. I won't be broken easily. – Han Se Joo


I'd much rather let someone steal my writing than take credit for someone else's work. – Han Se Joo


Episode 5.

If you are not confident you can surpass the person you imitated, you shouldn't have tried to imitate him from the start. – Baek Do Ha


I know that criticism helps me grow and improve, but it does hurt. – Han Se Joo


When you die, you cross the river of oblivion. But if you have regrets about your life, have passion left inside you, or have unforgettable people or memories, you look back. You're not supposed to look back while crossing the river. It gives you residues of memories. – Wang Bang Wool


Even though we lost our country, no one can take my words away from me. If I can't write, I'll be no different from a ghost. When Joseon is liberated, I will write whatever I want with passion. – Seo Hwi Young


Please keep writing. The novel has to be completed for me to live. – Yoo Jin Oh


Ever since I met you, nothing has been going my way. – Han Se Joo


This is an accident, a mishap I can't laugh about. It's just a fleeting mistake. I can make everything go back. I can do it. Back to the beginning. That will solve everything. – Han Se Joo


Why don't you admit it now? Without me, you cannot go on with the novel. – Yoo Jin Oh


Fear comes from the distrust of yourself and the anxiety about the unknown. If you don't want the fear to overcome you, you must trust yourself. Trust yourself and focus only on the target. – Han Se Joo


I won't forget that you were the first fan of mine. – Han Se Joo


It was wrong in the past, but it is right at the moment. – Han Se Joo


I'm your ghost writer. The thing is, I'm really a ghost. – Yoo Jin Oh


Episode 6.

I'm the ghost who's been locked up there for 80 years. – Yoo Jin Oh


Escaping from reality isn't a wise thing to do. – Yoo Jin Oh


Se Joo: You're a ghost. Why do you even want to be visible?

Jin Oh: I want to confess my feelings to Seol.


I know now. You must tolerate what you cannot tolerate. And exhausted by things that you cannot handle, you spend some nights with teary eyes. And I can dare to say that I know what you dreamed and what you've achieved.


Just because someone loves you doesn't mean you have the right to step on their pride. Just because someone liked you first doesn't mean you have the power to rule over them either. I loved your talent as a writer, but I don't think I love who you are as a person. – Jeon Seol


People who were once abandoned tend to leave relationships before they get abandoned. – Dr. Yang


They don't let me atone even if I want to. – Han Se Joo


I didn't write that novel. It was written by you 80 years ago. – Yoo Jin Oh


You worked hard. You worked hard to live, to survive, and to reach this far. I pray with my two hands that your most beautiful days are yet to come.


Animals love me more than people do. – Jeon Seol


I bet you're interested in what's mine. And you don't stop there. "I'll steal what I want." – Han Se Joo


Losing something means you failed to protect it. You don't have any rights over what you couldn't protect. You don't have rights over something you couldn't protect. It's not any different from abandoning it. – Baek Tae Min


If he gets on your nerves, you'll be mean to him and abandon him. You love nothing else but yourself. – Jeon Seol


I hope we don't cross paths ever again. – Jeon Seol


I don't remember the last moments of my past life. – Yoo Jin Oh


This is all I need. They say that pen is stronger than a sword. It doubles as a weapon and it's certainly a very useful tool in changing this world. – Seo Hwi Young


Still engulfed in deep darkness, the skies of Joseon make us hopeless. But today, I saw a dim ray of light in the darkness that surrounds us. That light will become a torch that drives away the darkness. I've witnessed the birth of a phenomenal writer—Seo Hwi Young. – Ryu Soo Hyun


She was our comrade and lover. – Yoo Jin Oh


Episode 7.

Guns aren't the only things that can save the world. – Ryu Soo Hyun


If everyone does their best at their jobs, don't you think our country will be liberated? – Ryu Soo Hyun


That novel, I hope you complete it. It doesn't matter when. – Ryu Soo Hyun


One lifetime is exhausting enough. Why do I have to let my past life burden me? – Han Seo Joo


Past life is just the past. This is the life we're living now. – Han Se Joo


Betrayal hides on the other side of friendship. – Han Se Joo


Times have changed. We're living in a world where you have to be cold-hearted to survive. – Han Se Joo


If I found you first, would you have believed me? If you saw me first, would you have welcomed me like you used to? – Yoo Jin Oh


More than anything, I'm no longer happy when I write. – Han Se Joo


I thought stopping writing would make me happy. It doesn't seem like it. – Han Se Joo


Because of you, my life is in chaos. You threw a stone into a calm lake. You must reckon for what you did. – Han Se Joo


This is the only way to go back to how it was before. I need to finish it to put an end to this chaos, so that I can make a fresh start as a writer. – Han Se Joo


Regardless of how the novel ends and what truth you find out, you still have to stick with me. – Yoo Jin Oh


Stop my girl from dating another man. – Yoo Jin Oh


Episode 8.

When I see you, my heart races but I'm not sure whether it's because of you or because of someone I met a long time ago. I'm confused. Her face overlaps when I see your face. – Han Se Joo


Can't you imagine how your words will hurt others' feelings? – Yoo Jin Oh


If you have ever been in love, you wouldn't tell me to give up so easily. – Yoo Jin Oh


You shouldn't have made me trust and respect you. You shouldn't have made me think of you as my father and my savior. – Han Se Joo


Are you alive now? Watching you for the last few days, you didn't seem different from me who is a ghost. – Yoo Jin Oh


I found myself hoping that you'd come see me at least once. – Jeon Seol


I'm looking at you. There aren't three people here. It's just the two of us. It's just me and you. – Han Se Joo


Episode 9.

I got feelings for her before he did, but there is nothing I can do in this life. – Yoo Jin Oh


If I cry again, will you hug me again? – Jeon Seol


I don't abandon people. I don't accept people if I were to abandon them. It's because I had been abandoned before, too. – Han Se Joo


There are 101 boys I want to possess. Which boy do you think will take the center? – Yoo Jin Oh


There's a ghost living in my house, and the ghost loves to watch TV. He's very interested in the entertainment industry. On top of that, he loves to watch romance dramas. – Han Se Joo


To Seol, her past life is not a beautiful memory. It's a trauma for her. – Han Se Joo


Everyone pushes me away. – Baek Tae Min


You don't seem to be aware of how scary the deadline is. Soon, your chair will start to feel like an electric chair. – Han Se Joo


There's a ghost living in my house, and he often looks miserable. He sometimes looks like a huge dog. I can't stand the sight of him. – Han Se Joo


There was nothing we could do. Our youth was the only thing we could give. That's why many youths perished like that, but we won. – Yoo Jin Oh


I also want to live in 2017. I'd love to live in a world like this. – Yoo Jin Oh


No matter what era you live in, life is an agony. There is no such thing as a perfect world. Every era has its own problems and things you'd want to resist. We resist, struggle, fight, and win. That's how we shape the world we live in. – Han Se Joo


You did well. Thanks to the youth you guys sacrificed, we can live in a world like this now. Pass this message along to the youth of that time. You fought hard. And I thank them for creating this world for us. – Han Se Joo


Haunted by the memories of her past life, she even had to give up her dream. – Han Se Joo


Episode 10.

Remember this: A fighter can't fall in love. As long as you have gun in your hand, you can never be in a relationship. – Madam Sophia


Lying with knowledge is different from not being able to answer because you don't know. – Seo Hwi Young


See, you're beautiful when you smile. – Shin Yool


She lived at a time when one had to hide his or her feelings for a greater cause. But now, people seem to hide their feelings because of their pride. I guess love is difficult wherever you lived. – Yoo Jin Oh


As I was writing, I started to feel bad for Hwi Young. I figured I should never love someone like he did. I don't need to hide my feelings for a greater cause now. It's for my pride. No, I'm going to go all in for love. – Han Se Joo


Us meeting each other was not a coincidence. I'm sure that there's a reason behind it. – Han Se Joo


I'm telling you not to suffer alone. – Han Se Joo


Many people are hoping that Yool and Soo Hyun become a couple. I guess a man's true love captures ladies' hearts regardless of which era we're living in. – Yoo Jin Oh


The stories of the three of us have to come together for the novel to be complete. – Yoo Jin Oh


Writers must not depend on their old works and neglect producing new work. – Baek Do Ha


Actually, he is the first face I could remember clearly from my past life. – Jeon Seol


You must not let any of the ill-fated relationships repeat. – Im Soo Yoon


I can't reveal myself in front of the person I like, and I can't even look her in the eye and talk to her. I can't grow old with her either. – Yoo Jin Oh


People who live only because they can't die might actually envy ghosts. – Han Se Joo


Se Joo: Do you want to die?

Jin Oh: I'm already dead.


Don't trust that guy. He was two-faced even in the old days. – Yoo Jin Oh


Had I known my heart would be tattered into pieces like this, I would have stayed by your side. – Im Soo Yoon


I won't be like you. I won't leave those I love just because of my past life. – Jeon Seol


What I can't forgive is that you didn't even think of overcoming it with me. Even now, you're running away. – Jeon Seol


Fate can be changed. – Jeon Seol


You're still living like a rat, Heo Young Min. – Yoo Jin Oh


Episode 11.

I spent all my youth fangirling. I'm so happy that it wasn't a waste. – Jeon Seol


I'm going to stop using anger to motivate myself. I'll protect people and things that matter to me. I won't be blinded by the past, because that's stupid. – Han Se Joo


If you want to break free from your past, don't give up too easily. Your life isn't over yet. – Han Se Joo


I'm not forgiving him; I'm giving him another chance. – Han Se Joo


We threw a bait; we should wait. I want to catch a big fish. – Heo Young Min


If you want to break up an organization, you have to hit the head, not the tail. – Heo Young Min


I want to get away from the past now. – Han Se Joo


The past that left vestiges can't be overcome. Unsettled past get corrupted and uncorrected faults get repeated. – Yoo Jin Oh


By any chance, will I bring more danger to his life if I stay by his side? – Jeon Seol


I thought of closing it, because it felt like a Pandora's box. – Han Se Joo


I've been a fan of you for 10 years and now you're in my arms, how could I not tremble? – Jeon Seol


There's no meaningless pain. Thanks to you, I've become strong like steel. – Han Se Joo


The reason why I can't be at peace is because I couldn't be a respectable mentor and a loving father to you. I lost my chance. I don't I can ever be that person, that's why I am always uneasy and in pain. – Baek Do Ha


Are you shooting a melodrama? I'm going to change the channel. – Jeon Seol


I think I killed you. In my past life, I think I shot you in the head. – Jeon Seol


How do you feel? Something terrible came out of the box. I'm running away because I can't handle it. – Jeon Seol


You said that we did not meet by coincidence, that there must be a good reason. I think I know that reason. We met so that I can pay for what I did, so that I can live in pain all my life while I watch you from afar. The Almighty must have led me to like you so that I can get punished. They wanted me to be heartbroken. – Jeon Seol


Bang Wool: Do you know what happens when a ghost pretends to be a human? You'll get obsessed with life. As the obsession grows, you'll feel sorry about yourself and you'll bear a grudge.

Jin Oh: Showing myself in front of the human I love is the only thing I want.

Bang Wool: Ghosts should live like ghosts and humans should live like humans. Don't try to lure humans as if you're human. Don't have a false hope towards humans. It's easy for you to be nice to them and then leave them, but what about the one who is left behind? If you have conscience, let go of your greed.


You were wrong. You didn't put me into danger. You saved me whenever I was in danger. – Han Se Joo


I told you we must have met for a reason. I think I know the reason. Because you couldn't save me in the past life, you're supposed to save me in this life. And I think I loved you in the past life but I gave up on you, so that we can freely date when our country is liberated. You don't need to make amends. You're excused. This is a chance. So today, I'm going to do something for my country. – Han Se Joo


Episode 12.

When it comes to dating, you are a two-dimensional person in the three-dimensional world. – Secretary Kang


I think I know why you can't date. You learned love through theories in books.


There's no U-turn in my love. There's only a straight road. – Jeon Seol


I won't play any games. I will just move forward. – Han Se Joo


I decided to follow my heart instead of following decisions of the coins. – Jeon Seol


We could put together our memories together. Let's see what's in that box together. Let's write it together, the three of us. – Han Se Joo


When the roses bloom and your heart flutters, give me that smile of yours.

If there's a song you have to sing, sing it now.

When the sun goes down, it'll be too late for you to sing it.

Sing your song right at this moment.


When our memories come together, the puzzle might be completed. – Han Se Joo


Don't move back because you're afraid of recoiling from it. Don't take your eyes off the target. It's just like being in love, isn't it? – Shin Yool


We have the same memories, but we long them differently. – Yoo Jin Oh


It's much more painful to lose someone you love before your eyes. – Jo Sang Mi


Why does everyone want to separate me and Seol? – Han Se Joo


I promise you that I will never do anything that could jeopardize our friendship. – Yoo Jin Oh


Episode 13.

"That tender-hearted guy is just putting up a tough front. He'll open up to me eventually." I really tried to understand you, but you putting up a wall like this really upsets me. – Gal Ji Seok


You don't have much time in the worldly realm. – Wang Bang Wool


She said I'll perish. Does that mean I'll cease to exist? There are still a lot of things I have to do. My memories aren't back yet either. – Yoo Jin Oh


One thing puts my mind at ease. The fact that you didn't betray me, I'm relieved to know that. I've been betrayed so many times by those I once trusted. If I was betrayed by a ghost who I finally befriended, I'd be very hurt. – Han Se Joo


Now that I think of it, sleeping is really important although it seems like nothing. – Yoo Jin Oh


The pain and anger you've felt for Joseon as a colony will be a stepping stone to change this country's reality. The tears and blood you've shed will be a foundation for this country's future. The power that drives you to take action until the very end derives from the love you have for this country, Joseon. It is for our parents, brothers, children, precious friends and lovers, and all of you who are in this together. We are doing this out of love and compassion for the country that our loved ones will be living in. The fighting spirit and anger flame out easily, but they also die out when faced with reality. Idealism and passion are noble, but they also fade very easily. However, the desire for my loved ones to be happy can never change. I wish for a world where our kids don't have to starve, a world where they can smile and run around freely, a world where there is no persecution and discrimination. My Joseon Youth Alliance friends, let us not give up. Let us greet the day when Joseon gets liberated!


It hurts to say this, but sacrifice is inevitable. – Shin Yool


If you're born again after Joseon is liberated, what do you want to be? – Shin Yool


In our next life, if we're born again after Joseon is liberated, promise me that you'll think of me as a woman. – Ryu Soo Hyun


Promise me one thing. Come back alive by all means. It's an order. – Seo Hwi Young


Episode 14.

In the next life, give her up. – Seo Hwi Young


If I were to be born again after Joseon is liberated, even then I hope I will be beside you and everyone else here.


The sky may be clear today, but it might be cloudy tomorrow.

Yesterday is no longer yours, so do it now.

If you wish to say something kind, say it now.

There might not be a tomorrow.

The person you love won't always be next to you.

If you wish to show affection, show it now.

If you wish to smile, smile right now.

Do it right now.

Do it before your friend disappears.


It won't bury him; it would revive him. He should admit to his faults and reflect on himself. Only then he will be able to put everything behind and move forward. – Baek Do Ha


You made me helpless and stabbed me in the back, you jerk. – Baek Tae Min


If the past is put behind without proper apology, neither the people nor the world will change. – Yoo Jin Oh


Why would you drag on the ill-fated relationship of the past life? – Han Se Joo


Don't meddle with my life. You are a ghost, so act like one. – Han Se Joo


Seol: You did it for his sake, but he didn't appreciate your good faith.

Jin Oh: Good faith doesn't always end up with a good result.


I don't want to sober up. When I'm myself, I miss him so much. – Ma Bang Jin


You didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one who went ahead and fell for you. – Ma Bang Jin


I hope you don't get your heart broken because of me. I'm a ghost, which means I can vanish anytime. – Yoo Jin Oh


Because she takes after you, she has a heart of gold. She always has to help those who are in need of help. And when she opens up to someone, she stays loyal to that person. – Jeon Seol


Gosh, why does she take after me who's no good? – Wang Bang Wool


Stop maturing. You're becoming no fun. – Gal Ji Seok


I'd much rather die. I cannot tolerate people looking at me with utter contempt. I won't be able to stand it. I'm exhausted. – Baek Tae Min


As a member of Joseon Youth Alliance, I hereby announce that we'll keep fighting for Joseon's independence and that we will assassinate those who are in the way of our country's independence. – Seo Hwi Young


Episode 15.

Here's one hypothesis: Shin Yool or Seo Hwi Young is the leader of Joseon Youth Alliance. Now here's the truth: They're both in love with you. Here's my prediction: They will both come to your rescue. – Heo Young Min


Where and for what we decide to sacrifice are lives on is up to our own selves. – Seo Hwi Young


The ones who survive have the obligation to fulfill the goal. That is how we can mourn for our fellow comrades who have died before us. – Seo Hwi Young


Saving my son comes before saving my country. Why should I save Joseon when it hasn't done anything for me? – Madam Sophia


I won't forgive you. I will never forgive you. As long as I'm alive, no, even when I'm dead, I won't forgive you. – Ryu Soo Hyun


Why do I keep feeling like you're lying? And why does that lie keep making me sad? – Ryu Soo Hyun


I'll give up on her on my next life. But in this life, please let me save her. – Shin Yool


Mr. Kang: Why are you trying to bear all the burden alone?

Seo Hwi Young: No, I'm actually trying to unburden myself from my responsibilities as the leader and be a normal friend to them at least for one day. I'm trying to be a man.


I'm so relieved that I didn't come late this time. – Han Se Joo


I would rather kill myself than disgrace Joseon Youth Alliance and myself. – Seo Hwi Young


Soo Hyun, I love you. I'm sorry I've been mean to you. I'm sorry I've been ignoring your feelings for me. I won't do that in my next life. I promise. In my next life, I will be the first to recognize you. I will come back no matter what. I will come back to meet you. I won't be late then. – Seo Hwi Young


Episode 16.

I decided to leave my three precious belongings with you. Do you remember the day we saw this typewriter? I didn't mean it when I said all I needed was a fountain pen. It was all a bluff. When I got that typewriter as a gift from you, I was extremely happy. I've received so many things from you. I don't think I can repay everything you've done for me in this life. Right now, as I'm leading towards the path to my death, I'm sorry that this is all I can leave for you. But I can't just leave it to you for free; I want to ask you a favor, but I wonder if you'd be able to handle it. Please complete this unfinished novel on my behalf with this typewriter you got for me. Please write our story on my behalf. Please write that we lived through these rough times. Even when we were faced with dark reality, we all lived diligently and absorbed the pain. We found hope in despair. We found happiness in danger. We all loved and fought to our utmost ability. I'm leaving you this pocket watch to remind you that you should always love Soo Hyun every single minute of the day. Please be by her side so that she'll never be alone again. Lastly, Yool, I regret that I've never told you how much I trusted and loved you. So let's make a promise to stay alive and meet again, no, let's meet even if we die. If the skies ask me if I had lived a happy life, this is what I'll say. I'll say I was happy to have met all of you. If the skies console me for having gone through so much, pat me on the shoulders and tell me that I lived a good life, I'll ask them for a favor. I'll ask them to allow me to be with you guys even in my next life. – Seo Hwi Young


You haven't changed at all. You're just like how you used to be in the past. You commit a crime, then you commit another one to cover up for that crime. You make an excuse instead of apologizing. You forget instead of regretting. You still don't know how to repent on your wrongdoings. – Yoo Jin Oh


If you get even greater than now, my heart won't be able to handle it. – Jeon Seol


Hwi Young prayed to the skies just before he died. He prayed and asked to be with Soo Hyun and Yool even in the next life. The skies answered his prayer. – Han Se Joo


When are you going to stop babbling? I can't breathe because of you. You're killing me. – Baek Tae Min


Nobody is to be trusted in this world. – Riccardo


Tell me and you should free yourself from the memories of the past. – Jeon Seol


I would rather bite my tongue and kill myself than beg you for my life. – Ryu Soo Hyun


The one who betrayed their comrades will be removed. – Ryu Soo Hyun


I hope we will be better friends in the next life. – Ryu Soo Hyun


Seo Hwi Young, I'm sorry I made Soo Hyun cry. I'm sorry I couldn't keep the promise in this life. I'm sorry I couldn't finish the novel. If there's another life, I will keep my word then. I will come to you to make you two happy. – Shin Yool


When I cry, you just wipe my tears and leave. – Ryu Soo Hyun


In the next life, I would like to date another girl. – Yoo Jin Oh


I promised Hwi Young I'd finish that novel. I'd like to keep that promise. – Yoo Jin Oh


Jin Oh: It's not your fault. You just did what you had to do, so please don't feel guilty anymore. Move on and live in the present.

Seol: Then, I want you to do the same. You betrayed us to save me. Soo Hyun knew it as well. Even at the very moment she pulled the trigger, she was very sorry and grateful to you. Crossing the river of oblivion, she couldn't help looking back many times. To me, Yool was a teacher I respected, a comrade I could rely on, and a kind brother. Thanks to him, my life wasn't lonely. I could live an awesome life as a sniper. He adored me and told me I was pretty. It was more than I deserved.


Is it so difficult to admit you did something wrong? Is it so difficult to say you're sorry? Someone waited for 80 years to make an apology. Someone even risked his life to keep his word. Life isn't only about the good days. If you did something wrong, admit it and correct it. It might be painful from time to time, but you should fight it. That's life. I wish you atone for what you did for the rest of your life so that you can make a fresh start. – Han Se Joo


I love the sound of putting the period at the end of the writing. – Yoo Jin Oh


I'm thinking of keeping you sealed in my novel. – Han Se Joo


If you didn't come find me, I might have lived with a wall around myself like a ghost who roams around even though I'm alive. – Han Se Joo


He was my muse. He was also a ghost. He was my friend who came to save me from 80 years ago. It's a small miracle that an old typewriter brought to me. This special experience encourages me to live the present. Lastly, I dedicate this book to my friend, Yoo Jin Oh. – Han Se Joo


Seol: I'm wondering who's missing me so much. They say someone is thinking about you when your shoelaces are untied.

Se Joo: There's someone who misses you, someone who has been waiting for you for almost 100 years, a person who can't leave you because of the destiny.
