"Prison Playbook" is probably one of the best K-dramas that will stay with the viewers forever and would never get tired of binge-watching.
Helmed by "Hospital Playlist" and "reply 1988" director Shin Won Ho, the rom-com drama gave the audience a phenomenal and heartwarming story with star-studded cast Park Hae Soo, Jung Kyung Ho, Lee Kyu Hyung, Jung Hae In, Park Ho San, Choi Moo Sung and more.
Penned by screenwriters Jung Bo Hoon and Lee Woo Jung, it follows the story of baseball superstar Kim Jae Hyuk, portrayed by Park Hae Soo, who meets his unfortunate yet out-of-the-ordinary fate.
He was supposed to join major leagues in the U.S but was imprisoned after accidentally killing the attacker who attempted to assault her sister.
At the Seobu Penitentiary, he met several terrifying people with the most gut-wrenching cases but was able to build special connections not just with his cellmates but also the prison guards.
There's no denying that K-drama "Prison Playbook" deserved to make a comeback for the second season; however, tvN and Netflix have no confirmation up to this date.
