"We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." - Sirius Black (Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix). And that is what I loved about Yoon Na Moo (Male Lead) that at first he thought he was like his psychopath father but eventually chose a path that lead to a greater good.
Story:
Plot was amazing and interesting enough to completely grasp my attention from the very start. As I watched this, I enjoyed the tragic love story with a deadly past. How it showed the thinking of a psychopath just wanting to quench his thirst for murder gave me the chills. I loved the fact that besides having their own anxieties and fears, the lead actors cared and loved each other and that was more than enough for both.
Acting:
Jang Ki Yong (Chae Do Jin) and Jin Ki Joo (Han Jae Yi) had an amazing chemistry. Jang Ki Yong displayed a perfect character of a boy trying to bear the burden of everyone around him and caring for them. He showed a passionate character trying to 'atone for his father's sins.' And after watching an episode or two, I liked him a lot. Jin Ki Joo had me falling for her from the very first scene. She was so cute, giving her sweet smile even in the time of hardship.
As I watched Heo Joon Ho (as Yoon Hui Jae), the more I realized the hate for him (or such people.) He portrayed a perfect role required for Yoon Hui Jae.
Music: It was top notch
Rewatch Value: Most people might not want to see such Serial killer Crime scene for the second time but I wouldn't mind watching the main couple together again.
Overall:
Definitely Recommended! 10/10

Story : In the beginning the story was good leading on to something but didn't. Even if the Choi Mikaela could see the time how they survived was a mystery I couldn't grasp. The love triangle made me want to drop it all along.
Acting: Leads role were good. Choi Mikaela and Lee Do Ha both did well and their chemistry got good after a while.
Park Woo Jin ( Secretary) did an amazing job bantering with Lee Do Ha all the time. Han Seung Yeon and Choi Wi Jin had very cute roles and I loved them! Although the mother was irritating to watch. The director, old lady, Lee Do Ha's brothers all there for no reason.
Music: There were so many songs in the drama and only few were good.
Overall: It was pretty average if you count everything in.

An amazing story! All episodes were around less than 10 minutes. The awkward situations in each episode were so fun to watch. It had me laughing the whole time. Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong did an amazing job! It was fun to watch even though the series were short. I loved the music as it was in sync with the scenes.
I'll definitely watch it again.
Overall: It is entertaining enough to bring out a laugh. The idea of the story was interesting to grasp my attention from the first episode. After that I was hooked. Even though it ended in like half an hour, I was glad that I watched it.

Prison Playbook is an awesome drama with its well-written story and amazing cast.
The lead actors stole my heart!
Park Hae Soo portrayed Kim Je Hyuk perfectly. He seemed dumb most of the time but he had his moments of nasty temper. He survived prison with his dumb wit, and fame and it was superb!!
Jung Kyung Ho as Lee Joon Ho, is a dream guy for every girl just like Je He says. (My new crush!) He is really the best friend one would hope for. The way he handle every mishap in Kim Je Hyuk's life and take care of every one else makes you swoon over him.
Now all the other support roles who still played a significant role in the drama like Krystal, Min Chul, KAIST (superb acting of lisp), Dr. Ko, Loony (amazing display of character btw), Captain Yoo (handsome as ever), Lieutenant Song, Lieutenant Paeng and Jailbird!!! Jailbird was awesome!!
I would definitely advise you to watch this drama! It deserves 10/10!!

Why you ask? It's one of the best dramas of 2018 yet or probably because of Park Hyung Shik ;D Not only his acting was top-notch but he's super handsome as well. The way he recited all the legal terms or definitions left me speechless. I don't why but I just loved everything about him, including his trainers. lol
Relationship between the main cast (Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Shik) or should I call it 'Bromance' was interesting to watch. There wasn't a dull moment in the show and each episode held some suspense that bound me to watch further.
I especially loved the quotes shown in the beginning of every episode hinting a little about it. My favorite one was "The best way to keep a secret is not telling anyone."
PS. People who are interested in law would definitely find it more appealing.
