I’ll admit it that I started watching this series because of Jung Hae-in #DreamyOppa. But it ended up taking me on an emotional rollercoaster. I laughed a ton, cried a lot. It really caught me off guard. It’s set in a place you wouldn't expect, but it tells such a powerful and unexpectedly heartwarming story about male friendship.

Even though it tackles darker themes than your typical K-drama and has a few sensitive scenes, it never feels heavy. Honestly, it’s one of the best K-dramas I’ve ever watched. With each episode, I felt more and more drawn into the story that has such a strong plot that really dives deep into the human condition and all its layers.

The show makes you reflect on the root causes of social issues, but it does so in such a moving and thoughtful way. The cast is incredible. Every single character, from inmates to prison guards, plays an essential and touching role. Everyone shines in their own way and helps bring this raw, realistic world to life.

It doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff, but it also reminds us that people are complicated. No one is born evil. Sometimes life puts us in impossible situations that force us to change and make unthinkable choices.

Totally worth every second. I highly recommend it. A must-watch.
