Characters

Doctor Na Yi-Ji is the main character who is cunning yet kind natured.  during and after his incarceration he became a ally for inmates who wish to get a stay of execution as he creates false diagnosis of inmate with deadly diseases and the inmates then go by his orders on how to do so. it may seem illegal as it is but luckily the Na is doing this more to his personal reasons then the inmates. Ironically he treats his patients well in for their true ailments. The actor was in main character in Good Manager and yes he still has that cunning yet smug smirk. And yes I do love it. I really hope he gets a romance in 2021.

Han So-geum is the psychiatrist of the prison who is there on a voluntary basis in order on how to find how her brother disappeared. Unbeknownst to her she is helping the real bad guy with his mental health whilst not realizing so until it was to late. she is the possible person to have a romance with Dr. Na which reminds me of Porridge and its sequel and yes its another British show i am referencing.

Seon Min-Sik is the former head doctor of the prison and has been for over thirty five years. he was at the beginning an asshole and yet he still is but luckily he turns ally instead of foe. Its funny now that i think about it as he thinks he is cunning but luckily Na is ahead of him. He wants to be the head of the VIP section of a new hospital of the  Taegang Group which is promised by the true bad guy.

Lee Jae -Hwan is the second son of the Taegang group owners who inadvertently was responsible for the car crash the killed the deaf couple. But he only instilled fear in the couple. It was another car who killed them. But he does go to prison for the drug use. He is the comedic relief as he is in the prison as he shares the cell with the Grim Reaper from Hotel de Luna  who in this drama is head of a prison gang. Although he was inadvertently the murderer of the wife as he stopped her operation which was neurosurgery.

Go Young-Cheol was a gynecologist before coming to the prison as a doctor to help with the inmates (actually ordered to in order to keep an eye on specific inmates) When he was a gynecologist he had many women who worked at an chemical factory come to him for medical support but alas they all miscarried so in order to pay a fine for malpractice he was employed by the head of the factory to take the mantle of a prison doctor.

Han bin was the Taegang chairman's analyst before he was incarcerated for the attempted murder of the chairman. He "disappeared" from the prison with the help of Na. Before he was incarcerated the chairman gave him the task of taking his stocks in paper form and hiding them in order of his first born son not to take over the business and to make sure the company goes public.

Jae Jin is the acting chairman of the Taegang group and is the murderer of his father and true person of interest of the crimes that have been committed throughout the series (Mainly). Only to later to find out he has a hereditary disease from his father that makes him a liability to the company so there for he has to act as the Godfather and Jack from the Shining which the actor does brilliantly. And yes this man is the real Bad Guy.

Personal Opinion

Through out the show it has been thrilling and exciting as i did not know what was going to happen next as there was a shock at every turn. It had interesting locations and it is very bloody as it is a hospital themed Korean Drama. The lighting was amazing and i loved the each episode was an Operation not an episode.
