Chicago Typewriter (시카고 타자기)

Do you even know what it took for me to climb up this far?

I won't break down because of the likes of you!

Mr. Writer, perhaps,

you too were a ghostwriter?

Episode 5 -

How long will you continue to write being conscious of Writer Han Se Ju?

If you are not confident about surpassing the author you are copying, don't even bother trying.

What are you looking at?

Oh, sorry. It was on your desk, so I was just curious.

So what is it?

You can continue to look at it.

Can I really read it? - Why even bother asking?

You always have been my first reader.

But sometimes you act prickly about it.

You must be confident about this one, then.

It's okay to pick up the whip after you read it, but feed me some carrots (praise), too, while you whip (criticize) me.

Even if the whipping (criticism) helps me to grow (as a better writer), it still hurts, you know.

Oh, punk. Such a crybaby.

How is it? - Huh?

How is it, I asked.

Come on, I've only read four pages so far.

Oh no, I've lost you already.

If I haven't captured your interest in two pages, the reader has already left.

It's not even a novel, it's just a short story.

I better not show Teacher.

Were you going to show Father?

He told me to bring it to him.

But I better not. Seeing your expression,

I feel like I won't hear many compliments from him.

The one who wrote Writer Tae Min's "Destiny," were you that ghostwriter?

You get out.

I... If my writing was stolen, so be it.

But I never steal anyone else's writing.

Where have you been?

You went out without making a sound, so where did you go?

Can you not hear me? Can you not see me?

Or just pretending you can't?

Stuck in here without writing a novel,

Instead, are you plotting how to ruin me in the most cruel and merciless way?

Please don't ask questions that do not deserve an answer, and say what you want.

Please make some time when you are available.

The public relations people say that there are many media outlets requesting a joint interview.

Please cooperate for your son's sake.

So he will go forward with this?

He refused, but they won't listen, he says.

But he thought it was the proper manner to seek your permission, so on his way to a research trip, he turned his car around to come here.

So when will be good? - I have no time to give you. I can't do it.

You can't? Why can't you?

You can't even do this much for your son?

So, for our son's sake, all you can do

is to team up with a reporter at a third-rate magazine, and dig someone else's grave?

Don't do that. Instead, keep swiping your credit card, which you love doing.

Or draw pictures again.

What's so wrong with that?

That woman ruined my life, and her son

is interfering in my son's life. So what couldn't I do?

This world is about ability and talent.

A person must shine on his own.

If he can only shine by borrowing someone else's light, it is right to just put his pen down.

For himself and for me, it would be better.

Seol.

Go away.

I can't play with you today.

I was so moved when I read your debut novel, "Destiny."

I guess you weren't as impressed with my following books?

Oh, well...

Writer Han Se Ju?

Han Se Ju.

Se Ju.

Seol.

Why do you keep doing this?

Oppa is thinking right now.

I asked you to go away.

I told you that I can't play with you.

Even you...

you shouldn't ignore me either.

Right?

Yes, this is Can-Do-Anything... - Hey, you *****!

I love you, Miss High School Student.

I will gouge your eyes out to play a ball with it! Who do you think you are, loitering around my oppa?

A ghostwriter? Should I gouge out your eyes to make you a real ghost?

Aigoo, Miss High School Student, your school lunch must not have been yummy today.

Shut up! Your personal info. has been revealed so you better be careful when you walk at night!

The moment I see you, you will become encased in cement!

Well, she's intense.

Is your mentality that strong? How do you bother answering these calls?

Give it back. It could be a customer.

Customer? Bullcrap. They're all fan-girls of Han Se Ju.

After the scandal article, how many crazy calls have you gotten just today?

Twenty-five now.

Do you really think I was seeking your answer for it? - No.

Mrs. Big Bell Fairy wasn't wrong, after all.

She said there was an ominous energy or whatever?

You shouldn't have been involved with Han Se Ju.

It appears that I really did sell out my country in my past life.

What are you saying now? - My pistol shooting, being a vet, and even Can-Do-Anything.

Whenever I try to make an effort at something, some elaborate "tackle" comes my way.

You are so ignorant.

The descendants of those who fought for our country's independence, they are the ones who have more difficult lives.

The people sold out our country are the ones who are living well and enjoying themselves.

If you wish to be born with gold spoon in your mouth, you should've been a cooperator to Japanese during Japanese Colonial Period.

Is that so?

That makes some sense, in a strange way. - The way I see it, it's a good thing.

Since you can't even leave this phone on now, with this chance, close down Can-Do-Anything Errand Service.

And begin working as a vet again. Sunbae said she will give you the co-director position, right?

I already decided to do that, actually.

Really?

Are you all right now?

No. For now, I'm just working Mon-Wed-Fri. I want to get used to it slowly.

You did well. Good job! Good job!

I'll buy us some beer. Let's have a celebratory drink. I'll be back!

Mr. Yoo?

What are you... doing here?

Are you here... to see me?

No... I meant the towel.

F*ck my life.

What brings you here?

To be honest, I got kicked out of the house after arguing.

Are you a married man?

No. I'm not married yet.

So, do you want to go somewhere and have a beer?

Has Jeon Seol fallen asleep?

You know Seol?

Is Jeon Seol doing well here?

Please wait a while. I'll call her out.

There's no...need for you to...

Your stance wavered. You mustn't be afraid of the backfiring.

Or else without even realizing, your body moves to the back or your arm lowers down.

Then you will lose stability and control over the shooting.

Aim.

Fire.

What's this?

Hey Jeon Seol, go outside. Someone's here for you.

Me? Who?

How would I know that?

What's with her?

Hey, for someone who's got her identity completely exposed, you're really fearless.

Put on a hat before you leave.

Yeah

Blessed girl. Girl who sold the country in her past life. (she's cursing her)

What's this. Who was looking for me, she was saying?

I'm so sorry.

Not a problem.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Ghostwriters Team @ Viki

Did you succeed?

8 o clock. Shinhaejin Train. Comrade Choi Min Gyu will deliver the military funds to Manchukko.

The Chief will be so pleased.

There were occasional gun fightings.

Let me see.

Let's create some distance. The cops are tailing us.

Korean?

Excuse me, but if you are done with your business,

can you close the door, please?

Because we have to change clothes now.

I am sorry but this is woman's changing room.

I have prepared a place.

With the smell of hair oil from the person I like

Embracing you tightly

Lightly, floating in the wind.

Flowing lightly, the cobwebs make a chain around my neck.

Oh no, oh yes.

I guess it is a call to save me. Save me.

Seol, seol! Jeon Seol!

Ajumma!

You, started again didn't you?

That you killed someone.

Someone you shouldn't have killed. That's what you told me when you were 10.

What's with the direct attack? When I wasn't even ready at all.

That you killed someone? - Why are you repeating yourself?

Because you're the one who said you need to prepare yourself.

Nevermind.

Then my mom should've taken me to the hospital. Why did she bring me to the shaman?

Did you think your mom didn't? The doctors said, "It's because you have an active imagination."

"It's because her intellect is unreasonably advanced." They said this or that.

Yet, your mom wouldn't believe them.

So what did you say ajumma?

I said not to worry because you're not our kind.

You just said that and got paid for it?

When people die

they cross into the realm of oblivion.

Making things up again, I see.

If you have regrets in this world, or have strong attachments,

or something or someone that can't be forgotten even in death,

people tend to turn around to look back.

When someone crosses into oblivion, people don't look back.

If they do, there's a fragment of memory left in their minds.

Is that a punishment? - No. It's neither

because it's not a complete memory. People just feel afraid of it.

Then why is it that I

have remnants in my memory (of past life)?

What's the point of knowing that?

You just need to live out your present life.

So that you can leave without any regrets, obsessive attachment,

or any sad story in your life. You just need to diligently live out your present life.

Is it a regret or an obsessive attachment?

Or...is it something I didn't want to forget even in death?

something or someone I shouldn't forget?

Was there something like that?

Even though my country has been deprived of freedom (by Japan),

but no one can take away my writing from me.
