Chicago Typewriter

시카고 타자기 ‧ Drama ‧ 2017
Both are Ghost Fantasy and Romance Kdramas with great casting.


Chicago Typewriter features flashbacks to 1900s and reincarnation to modern time, with writer Lead, a Ghost and an editor.

Spooky In Love is set in a hotel with a hotel heirress FL and Prosecutor ML.

Both give similar eerie athmosperic vibes.

Both dramas show the story of resistance fighters in Korea in the 20th century and do a pretty good job at that.

-similar plot about reincarnations and meeting people from your past lives
-romantic plot is more fleshed out in CT
-Bulgasal is a more slow burn mystery of the past than Chicago typewriter, but CT also has a mystery of the past the characters are tying to unveil
-bulgasal is more fleshed out in the fantasy aspect
-CT has similar wholesome character relationships like Bulgasal, but in CT they're more friends based than the found family troupe in BIS
-angsty, aesthetic and bittersweet. The osts in both are amazing, acting and cast and cinematography are great in both.
-Both of them are different in terms of setting and time line, CT is more political and set in 1930s Japanese occupied Korea.

CT has a author of mystery writing his next novel which are things that happened to his last reincarnation. But as he writes he gets to know what actually happened to them.
L,H has a screenwriter who's writings turn true in this life itself.
Both have mystery as strong element to the story.
Both have rich male lead and poor female leads.

At the core of both dramas is a supernatural connection to a past life that directly interferes with a character's current modern-day reality: chicago typewriter 's past lives is more emotional and have well build up story. And chicago typewriter characters are well written.

While My Royal Nemesis (2026) leans more into a snappy, modern romantic comedy framework and the 2017 classic Chicago Typewriter is a deeply emotional, poetic fantasy melodrama.

Celebrated author Han Se-joo is drawn into a past life through a mysterious typewriter, uncovering his past incarnation as a resistance fighter during the 1930s Japanese occupation of Korea. The trio must remember their past traumas to fix their present-day relationships.

While Chicago Typewriter is more historical fiction and Circle is sci-fi, both shows present two stories in one (in Chicago Typewriter it is past and present day, while Circle is present day and future).
In both shows, there is a mystery that happened in the past that the future is trying to figure out. And in both, the viewer is (for the most part) unsure what exactly happened in the past, and everybody's role in it, until it gets revealed.
They both also play with memories.

However, they are still different as they are in different genres and there is a larger time gap in Chicago Typewriter than in Circle. The sequences are not as ordered in Chicago Typewriter as they are in Circle, however the transitions are incredibly smooth.

Bonuses:
- I really liked both the female leads
- Great acting
- The bromances ^.^

I think that Chicago typewriter can be the serious version of this show, although of course, they have different themes, but I think they attract the same type of viewers
