Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 1930s storyline mirrors real Korean independence fighters like Kim Hyang-hwa, executed for her resistance poetry—writers literally died for their words.
The typewriter is a real 1930s Underwood; the show's prop master hunted antique shops for months to find one that could actually type on screen.
