Oops! I'm in Jail (2025)

Not my cup of tea?

I’m on episode 10, about 30 minutes in, and I don’t think I’m going to continue Oops! I’m in Jail. When I first started it, I genuinely thought this was going to be something I’d really like. The beginning felt fun, lighthearted, and clearly unserious in a way that worked. I enjoyed the humor, the dynamics, and especially the bromance. It felt like a show that knew what it was.
As the episodes go on, though, the show starts leaning more into “serious” territory, not in terms of the main plot jumping around, but in the way it introduces a lot of personal backstories and emotional subplots. And that’s where it starts to lose me. A lot of these moments feel kind of random, like they’re just placed there without enough buildup or time to really land. Some storylines feel like they needed more development, or maybe even their own episode, instead of being dropped in and then quickly moved past.
There were definitely sad moments that could have hit harder, but instead left me feeling like, “Wait, oh okay?” Some character choices also didn’t fully make sense to me, and not in a subtle or intentional way, just in a way that felt off or underexplained. It’s not bad, it just feels uneven.
Since around episode 7, I’ve kind of felt like I’m forcing myself to keep watching, and I don’t love that feeling. There are only a couple episodes left, but if I’m already checking out mentally, I’d rather stop than push through. Overall, I’d give it around a 7.5 or maybe an 8. I really liked the humor, acting, and overall vibe at the start, but where it goes with some of the emotional and character-focused stuff just isn’t really for me. This is all personal taste, though.

This Drama Made Me Laugh, Cry, and Now I’m Emotionally Arrested?❤️

I’m currently at Episode 4 and I’m honestly enjoying this drama so much. The storyline is easy to follow, the pacing is good, and every actor matches their character perfectly. The mix of sad, funny, mysterious, and heartwarming moments is just chef’s kiss.

Each character has their own charm — Zhiyao is hilarious but still caring, Jiang Yi Jie is handsome AND funny 🤣, Zhongwen is super adorable, and Zhang Long Ji… he actually looks like a “good” inmate and I really like his character. He’s handsome, gentle, and has that gentleman vibe hahaha. But I’m still unsure if he’s truly good or hiding something (jeng jeng jeng).

The chemistry between Zhiyao and Yi Jie is pure love–hate chaos and I love every second of it 🤣.
Four episodes in, I’ve cried, laughed, cried again, then laughed again — a full emotional roller coaster.

I seriously can’t wait for the next episode… the waiting is stressing me out 😭.
Totally worth watching!
