It has been such a long time since I have followed a 'currently airing' drama to completion and I am so happy I did. The best drama I have watched in a very long time. Perfect mix of comedy, suspense, romance, bromance lol and realism.
All the characters had depth and gave you all the feels, even the villains made you despise them with their superb acting (Chief Yeom - urgh!). The OST is amazing (ITS ON SPOTIFY), I as a non-Korean speaker still sang /rapped my heart out along to any songs that played.
It is great to see all these amazing dramas being taken up by Netflix.
Anywho onto the review
Story
It is about a baseball player who ends up in prison, annoyingly, because he protected his little sister from assault. Whilst in prison he meets people, goes through various trials, and comes out on the other side. The people he meets all change around him to become better people and he ends up influencing the whole penitentiary because of the simple and humble way he behaves. I don't want to give too much away.
The suspense is amazing and I am one of those people that hate to watch the preview of the next episode only to be annoyed that its not what I thought, but it really works here because everytime the preview shows something bad is going to happen to KJH there is always a way to turn it around. There is no dragging and there is also no unnecessary scenes as everything makes sense in the end. The drama has been directed very well and the story is amazing. I don't believe I am giving it justice so just watch it. You wont be disappointed
Acting
Amazing! Every single actor/actress plays their parts well. You laugh when the characters laugh or mess up and you shed a tear when the characters are going through hard times. KJH's character is so refreshing, although he is dopey he is still very smart and at times as the viewer you forget this but he remedies a situation and you then remember that he is actually really smart. Min Chul was another character I loved as he was so cute and his facial expressions portrayed everything he felt. His storyline was such a joy to watch. The bond between the guys with people leaving and people joining was amazing to watch. KJH and LJH's friendship was so endearing = true bromance. LJH was there for him, even following him to the next prison just to make sure he was okay. Loved those two together. The best comedic scene between them is when LJH is trying to help KJH overcome his struggle to throw straight, I cried laughing at those scenes.
Music
AMAZING lol, like I have said earlier the playlist is on spotify. Every song is amazing and the way they were played throughout the drama made sense. The music director matched the music to each scene really well and you never felt like a song was too loud or played too often it just worked.
Rewatch Value
Definitely a 10 because I want everyone to watch it and I want to be there when they do. Such a good drama, everytime someone comes to visit I make sure to get them to watch it lol.
Anywho in a summary = Great end to 2017 and Great beginning to 2018. Brought me back into KDrama's after a long hiatus.
