Last week while browsing for recommended series, I found an article that mentioned top 5 korean dramas to watch, and one of them is Prison Plybook, I read the synopsis and I am curious to watch it.
The story is about prison life, and the main role is Kim Je-Hyeok, famous baseball player that been prisoned due to an accident for a year.
The drama pictured prison life mostly in comedy situation, I think this is the core that attracted me to watch the episode by episode. I lough a lot in ep 9 mostly when prisoners talked about a guard, and without they realized the guard is around them!
If you want to see true friendship, yes Je-Hyeok and Joon-Ho will show it to you, their friendship is really strong, Joon-Ho is true friend that everyone could wish! he totally support Je-Hyeok, I mean even when he needs to kick Je-Hyeok he will do it. Joo-Ho is one of the guards in the Seobo Prison
Indirect message in the conversations and scenes to describe unfair things that happen in prison are pictured in this drama too. People still able to smuggle food, drugs, etc....cigarette quite popular here :D
Yet, not everyone that prisoned is because they really doing the crime, like Yoodaewi (Captain Yoo), he must experience false accusation, eventhough at end he get chance for second court (retrial)
Ahhh another funny thing, there is dating program between gentleman prisoners with the ladies prisoner, by starting sending letter...this scene also make me lol.
What you can learn from this drama is also about how to adapt and mingle with people, in this prison one room is fit for 6 people. So you can imagine 6 people from difference crime background, character, thought and etc in 1 room? need self control to keep the situation workable for all of them.
You can enjoy cute romance scene between Je-Hyeok and his girlfriend, how they settle their problem, and finally how Joon-Ho confess to Je-Hyeok that he dating his sister!
I love this series and recommended it to you, you wont disappointed!
-life is good and make it worth every single day of it-
