The massively popular television drama series Prison Break Season 3, which is currently unfolding its story in the United States, will enthrall fans here starting Friday. A cable company brings it to Korea just two months after the new season's launch in the U.S.
The drama's third season will air every Friday at 10 a.m., with a re-run every Saturday at 9:10 p.m. on cable channel Catch On.
``It is the first time for a TV series that has aired just six episodes in its origin to be broadcast in Korea," an official at Catch On said. ``We fixed such a schedule to allow viewers access (to the drama) as soon as possible in a proper manner and not through illegal downloads."
In season three, the mastermind heartthrob, Michael Scofield (actor Wentworth Miller), affectionately called ``Seok Ho-pil" by Korean fans, is framed and sent behind bars in Panama's Sona Prison. This time it is his brother, Lincoln Burrows (actor Dominic Purcell), who needs to help Michael's escape and rescue their kidnapped loved ones ― LJ, Lincoln's son, and Sara Tancredi, Michael's true love ― creating yet another thrilling plotline.
