WOW.

The writers of this show have turned what originally would be a very dark show - a baseball player getting sent to prison for assaulting a man who tried to sexually assault his sister - and turn it into one of the best lighthearted dramas to exist.

Actor Appreciation:
JUNG HAE IN - his portrayal of a military captain wrongly imprisoned for beating one of his subordinates to death is heartrending at times but the real greatness of his role is the way he goes from a cold, scary individual to just one of the boys is beautiful

JUNG KYUNG HO - his portrayal of the baseball player's best friend and a prison guard is fun and lighthearted but also aggressively protective, and plays a large role in the tone-setting of the drama throughout

JUNG WOONG IN - the prison guard that makes the series infinitely more fun to watch, and the cute way he subtly cares for his inmates without showing it is essential to this drama

LEE KYU HYUNG - somewhat of a tragic character but his portrayal of a recovering drug addict who more or less has completely lost his mind except when he's on drugs is compelling

PARK HAE SOO - you can't have a successful drama without a decent male lead, and this dumb baseball player is a great one. his subtle charisma that brings the entire prison around him is the essence of this drama

With a supporting cast this talented and writing sent from the heavens, this drama is one that I can never recommend enough no matter what kind of dramas you enjoy.
