ok this show is great for a laugh, but you can't take it seriously at all. I'm not watching both groups, but I find the Austin Kang and DinDin group hilarious so I'm watching their parts

This guys looks like an Asian Conan O'Brien

Thank you for your reply! It gives me hope (:

This drama easily became one of my favorites. So well done. So much suspense. I was honestly amazed by the quality.

Am I the only one who doesn't think this show is that funny? I'm 4 episodes in and have put it on hold...does it get better or maybe is this show just not for me?

edit 7/8/19: I just finished the drama Live Up To Your Name and fell in love with Kim Nam Gil so now I am excited to continue watching this. I just think he is so great!

I just have to comment and say your post made my day and had me chuckle aloud lmao he was ready to risk it all

The best part about this show was Jang Hyuk's love of bread LOL

I just started this on Netflix and it is SO GOOD. The rating on here does not truly reflect the quality of the drama, so if you are confused whether to start it, START IT NOW.

Honestly, it is creepy, yet weirdly funny and cute, at the same time. The two leads are very likable. I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite dramas, but only time will tell.

Peeta, is that you? lol

I just want to say, the way they edit this drama is AMAZING. The ending of each episode sends chills down my spine, with the music fading to the title screen. Just wow.

omg I thought I was the only one who thought NING YI LOOKED LIKE JOHNNY DEPPS' WILLIE WONKA! Hahaha guess it wasn't just me...

I love this show already, the concept of the donation coffee shop, how the celebrities work together to run it, how dedicated they are. It is so heartwarming. I'm excited for more episodes.

I felt the same way at first, but then once I got past episode 4 or 5, I fell in love, honestly.

I just finished watching this and at first I thought it was okay and didn't get the hype, but them WHAM I fell in love with it. So funny. I just grew to love the characters and this is the first time watching a kdrama that I yearn for a season 2 so I can see the characters more. Loved it, and definitely echo what everyone else is praising about this kdrama.

I just finished this drama and it was alright overall, but near the end I got seriously annoyed by how cookie cutter an overly dramatic it got, to the point where I was just rolling my eyes and laughing at how ridiculous the plot was. I say people hyped this drama up, and although it was different than other dramas, it honestly is not as deserving of the hype, in my opinion. Many characters seemed like caricatures, the drama got ridiculous, it was quite unrealistic in terms of prison life, and slow at times with too many flashbacks. I just wanted to post this comment so those who are reading 10 star reviews don't go in with the unrealistic high expectations I did when I watched it.

To ease your soul, here's a humor video with the funny moments/bromance in the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvqKvONCPHY

ALSO kudos to the writers for creating such STRONG female characters!

Strong, female characters are a rarity in kdramas that I have a hard time thinking of other strong female characters who did not whine, act weak, or let romance overpower their goals.

I wish all dramas could be like this one. It is so beautiful, the plot is engaging and the romance does not overpower it, while the characters are both serious when they need to be while funny at times. The scenes are gorgeously shot and I always want more after each episode.

So I've watched 3 episodes and I am still not hooked on Chicago Typewriter.

Should I stick with it, or do you suppose this drama is just not my cup of tea?
