"Prison Playbook" isn't your typical prison drama. Instead of being dark and gritty, it's surprisingly funny and heartwarming. The story follows Kim Je-Hyeok, a baseball player who ends up behind bars. Despite seeming simple, Je-Hyeok makes the best of his situation and finds humour in everyday prison life.
The show's real strength is its characters. From the silly yet endearing Lee Joon-Dol to the tough-but-soft Kim Min-Chul, each character is unique and adds something special to the story. The show also avoids portraying them as hardened criminals, instead focusing on their backstories and showing that they're more than just their mistakes.
This focus on humour and redemption makes "Prison Playbook" a truly enjoyable watch. You'll laugh along at the characters' antics, but you'll also feel touched by their friendships and personal journeys. The show isn't perfect, but its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. If you're looking for a drama that's both funny and heartwarming, "Prison Playbook" is definitely worth checking out.
