Chicago Typewriter pairs art and armed revolt in its double entendre title and interwoven timelines. The pen and sword, the typewriter and the tommy gun, are put through their paces as agents of change and righters of wrongs in a gorgeously directed show filled with striking visual storytelling. The three leads have lovely chemistry, especially in the all-too-brief glimpses of their past lives in occupied Korea as they try, and often fail, to honor both their love for country and each other. The present world may have less idealistic fervor, messier character dynamics and more random animal encounters, but it provides needed space to interrogate how trauma echoes down through generations. Like Jin Soo Won’s other dramas, this one mixes off-kilter humor, magical realism and deeply serious themes, a combination that may not work for everyone. However, if you’re willing to suspend a whole lot of disbelief, you’ll find a show that looks unflinchingly at the horrors of the past, while also showing how art can honor, remember, and forgive.
