Prison Playbook is a character-driven human comedy, warmly written and bolstered by stellar acting performances. The drama expertly navigates its audience through its spot on comedy as well as powerfully heartfelt moments. The drama succeeds in delving into the characters & the beautiful & melancholic storyline. Serene and hopeful, Prison Playbook is a magnificent drama.

It's on my top 5 Korean Drama all the time.. The story, characters, relationships, tense, love line all in perfect combination.. Everything just fall perfectly that you cannot even realise that 1.5hours already passed by.. Totally looking forward for the this drama team next project..

If you had told me five days ago that I would be this enthralled about a series revolving around a Korean professional baseball player on the brink of being signed by an American Major League team being sent to prison for assaulting a sexual predator, I would not have believed it. Yes, I am a Korean drama fan and knew this series was well received in Korea but had dragged my heels on watching it. Who knew that this series would be chockful of so many funny, heartbreaking, happy, sad and truly heart-tugging moments? Each of the main characters has a rich personality and you quickly find yourself emotionally wrapped up in their stories. Each episode is about an 1.5 hours long with 16 episodes so there was plenty of time to flesh out the stories and characters, whether the prisoners or their guards. Of course, we know it is far from what goes on in a real prison but the humanity and character depicted in this show leaves us with hope that we will look beyond the prison jumpsuit or the guard uniform to find the human inside. Watch it, you won't be disappointed!

I thought it was funny. Really got into the characters.

A series that reveals why the best of KDrama is loved worldwide. The writing, direction, and acting are a joy in a clever, intelligent, compassionate, and often hilarious prison story that surprises at every turn. Strongly recommended.
