Spoiler Alert!!!

Many dramas have been aired with the theme of time travel, however, for some reason, this drama is really fun to watch and its flow of going back and forth doesn’t seem like a cliche at all. This drama story dates back to the 1930s when Korea was still colonized by Japan, and in 2017 in the current era. In the current era, Han Se-Joo who works as a writer seems to be similar to Han Se-Joo in 1930 named Hwi Young, a young man with a hobby of writing who was the chairman of a youth organization during the Japanese occupation. Whereas Jeon Seol in the 1930s named Soo Hyeon was a young woman disguised as a man to be able to work with other young men to fight for Korean independence and befriend Hwi Young and Yoo Jin-O. Whereas Yoo Jin-O was a friend of Hwi Young in the 1930s who was the owner of the bar Carpe Diem (one of the tycoons of that era) and a member of the youth organization. Apparently, Yoo Jin-Oh is not a ghostwriter in the sense of connotation, but he is really a ghostwriter in the sense of denotation. Yoo Jin-O is a ghost who lives on an ancient Korean typewriter in Se-Joo’s house. Initially, Se-Joo and Jeon Seol kept on having strange dreams that told themselves in the 1930s during the Japanese occupation. Because they often dreamed, they felt that they were themselves in the past in their previous lives. Until finally they both could see Yoo Jin-Oh who was a ghost from the Japanese colonial era by the Japanese who explained their lives in the past. But unfortunately, Yoo Jin-Oh’s memories were not all neatly arranged, he forgot some parts of his life and especially the end of the story of their friendship in the past so he invited Se-Joo and Jeon Seol to get back together in the 1930s to find out what happened. From the story of the three of them in the past, this is what eventually made Se-Joo as a story in his serial novel.
