When I saw that Netflix was going to delete it at the end of january, I decided to try it.
What I thought is: "maybe not starting it earlier was one of the biggest mistakes, or maybe I won't like it anyway and I'll realize I did the right thing". In any case, I decided to give it another chance.
The first episode didn't get my total attention, but from episode 2 I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I simply loved it.
This is the kind of story that not everyone will like. As a slice of life, it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's ok. Talking for myself, I loved it.
Now that I finished it, I can say... IT WAS A REAL GEM. I loved the side characters so much, but my most favorites are dr. Ko and Lieutenant Paeng. But I will miss all of them so much. Captain Yoo and Looney were hilarious, and the episodes never failed to make me laugh and cry all in the span of the same episode.
The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the fact that we didn't get to know the life of who left the prison. What happened to Dr. Ko, Kaist and the others? But the story revolver around the life inside of the prison, not outside. So I understand. It was just a personal curiosity.
I also read that some people didn't like Ji Ho and Je Hyuk's story because of the age gap. I didn't really mind it, but to be honest I didn't really care for their story. I was more invested in the life inside the prison.
Anyway, I'm glad I watched it and I understood that the first time I didn't enjoy it not because it was a bad story, but simply because probably I wasn't in the mood for a story like that.
For me it's a 10/10 ♥️
