I'm pretty new when it comes to writing reviews, this is my third one and I decided to write one for every drama that leaves an impression on me because I would love to look back at theses reviews and see what I wrote.

When I decided to watch this drama, I had very high expectations because this is the highest rated drama on this site and after reading the synopsis, it sucked me in right away. The drama I watched before this made me crave a drama which is based around friendships and to be honest, this drama did amazing portraying the relationships between the characters.

First off I would like to comment on the overall story of Prison Playbook. The overall concept of a proffesional baseball player assaulting a person for attempting sexual assault on his little sister ans wrongly going to prison for 1 year in which made him recconect with a childhood friends really hooked me from the start as i wanted to see thier bromace on screen. At first I didn't even think about how Je Hyeok would interact with the other inmates, in the frist center he was at he met Jailbird in which he paid for his moms surgery and when that happened I saw thier relationship it only made me want to see more of the inmates relationship with Je Hyeok and how he would fair in prison for one year.

With Je Hyeok, his character at first may seem a little dumb and carefree but when you see his character develop throughout the show, you get to see that he is just a normal person who has emotions and isn't always the famous baseball player Kim Je Hyeok. The first time we see him develop was when he finnaly reached his breaking point and went ona rant on how bad his life is and how unlucky he is, this scene made me love his character even more and it showed his development. In the drama, it really emphasises how loyal of a person Je Hyeok is to his friends as he gets aquanted with his second set of cell mates and have a brotherly relationship with them all and would always support eachother.

With Joon Ho, I really loved how much he admired Je Hyeok and how much he wanted to help him get back on his feet when ever something bad would happen to him. I like how they both reconciled amd became best friends again and with every scene they were in together, thier chemestry just shone through the screen. At first when he started to date Je Hyeoks sister, I'll admit I was a little adamant because i thought it was quite wierd but when Je Hyeok said he's glad that it's him dating his sister and not anyone else just shows how much they trust eachother and made me realise that Joon Ho dating his sister wasn't all that bad.

I will quickly go through some of the side characters I liked. Firstly Ji Ho who is Je Hyeoks girlfriend, I like her character and how she was so understanding of him and they used her charactert just right to make Je Hyeok develop as a person. Jailbird was probably one of my favourite side characters as he was generally grateful that Je Hyeok paid for the surgery and i realised that he would owe his life to him and at the end he became his agent which i really like. Kim Min Chul was another character that shone for me, When we see him he has been to prison for 22 years and had 3 years left, at first I thought he was just a thug but in actuality he was a real softie who cared wbout his cell mates. The cellmate that called him dad and also teh introduction of his daughter really gave his life meaning and he has people outside waiting for him which he didn't think could happen. Finnaly the last character i will mention is Yoo Jung Woo who was falsely acused for killing someone in his squad, he went from a character that was imbearable to the Je Hyeoks cellmates but really he's ones of the kindest people in the cell and because friends with the cells mates after he warmed up to them.

The OST in this drama was amazing as there were a couple of songs that stood out to me and that was the intro song in which I instantly realised it was sung by BeWhy and and GRAY and it served as am amazing OST which I will listen to evern after the show. Another song i like was The Door which has Zico in and that was another good OST. The last song i wil mention is Bravo, My Life! which is sung by Eric Nam, this song was another of mr favourites and I really liked how they made that song Kim Je Hyeok entry music for when he plays for Nexus.

Overall, I would urge anyone to watch this drama if they are looking for a drama that emphasises relationships; be it with friends, family, lovers or even past lovers. This show has everything I want in a drama and met my expectations with ease.
