I absolutly loved this show. The acting was good and I love that they don't completley glorify prison life. I love that each character has a story and each character knows what they did to end up in jail was wrong... For example, Min Chul knew it was wrong when he killed that man and he doesn't glorify prison... And though his time there is not horrible he still makes the best with what he can, owns up to his mistakes, and tries his best.
I also love that Je Hyeok is kind and willing to give anyone a chance as long as they earn it. I love that even though he didn't have too, he gave Crony a 'new beginning' by bascially 'killing him with kindness' and in turn caused Crony to become appreciative.
Speaking of Crony, it brings me to my next point... Aka: the only issue I really had with the show and that I am a bit surprised no one else spoke about in their reviews.... I am honestly a little butthurt that we didn't get to witness Crony or KAIST getting out of jail... Same with captain Yoo (though after discovering his retrial went well we knew it was coming soon) after they moved KAIST to Deogu they just completly drop his existence and that really upsets me. He deserved to be brought up again.
I also am upset how they played the crap out of Looney. He spent MONTHS vecoming sober and drug free just to get out and immedietly get set up by the hippie guy and sent back to jail? WTH was that about? I was so happy his mother showed up to see him and his boyfriend was wanting to propose...just for him to F it up and go right back? They did his character dirty.
Would have loved to see a "several years later" type of scenario that included updates on everyones lives.
Other than those things I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I would rewatch it and I would recommend it to others, I already have actually.
