But Prison Playbook has 90-minute episodes and is known as a Slice-of-Life drama.

I expect most of you are primarily fans of US television that would probably be enough action to sustain an entire episode here. Kim is forced to miss his flight to the US as he is immediately boarded onto a bus following sentencing and sent to Seobu Detention Center until his appeal can be heard. Unfortunately, the judge presiding over the case takes it into his head that an example needs to be made against this kind of excessive defense and sentences Je-hyuk to one year in prison. In the show, Kim’s lawyer repeatedly assures him that they will let him off on self-defense. Maybe he’d get a slap on the wrist for continuing to chase the guy instead of calling the police, but even that seems unlikely. In the United States, this would almost certainly be an open and shut case of self-defense. Before he can continue his life, he must defend himself in court against charges of excessive violence. He interrupts a sexual assault in progress, which would have been very heroic, but he chased the assailant out of the apartment building, got into a fistfight, and brained the guy with a random trophy off of the ground. Unfortunately, everything is put on hold when, at his mother’s request, he visits his sister to make sure she’s doing alright, alone in Seoul. Kim Je-hyuk (played by Park Hae-soo of Squid Game fame) is an ultra-talented closer for the Nexen Heroes and is on the verge of signing a Major League contract with the Boston Red Sox. However, what Prison Playbook IS is a show about a pro baseball player. As you may have guessed, with baseball being very popular in South Korea, several Korean Dramas deal with baseball. I’ve been informed that Squid Game is a very popular Korean Drama on Netflix right now, but did you know that Netflix has a lot of Korean Dramas? And they don’t even come close to having them all.
