To be honest, whilst the storyline was different for me I did feel a little out of my comfort zone as I mostly watch romcoms. This drama special was pretty much depressing from start to finish - at least for me. There was money problems, family problems, health problems and trying to find happiness in one's life. Some parts of it did leave me confused but I just went with it and eventually as the episodes went by I did start to understand a bit more about what was happening. Whilst I did find it quite sad, I do wish it was slightly longer
I felt Tae Joon was great in his role especially in the emotional scenes with the gentleman who played his father. I hope he gets first lead in a full drama sometime in the not so distant future because I think he is very capable.
The drama was only 2 hours so it doesn't take too much of your time but it was very interesting to watch.. Unfortunately for me I will never rewatch this because it was far too depressing even though I understand why.
There was no OST, just background stuff.
I recommend this to viewers who love the gangster, the struggles of wanting to better oneself and the struggle of family life because I know there are lots of people who are into this type of storylines :D

One day following a tragic event he ended up being the subject of the “happiness” experiment of that research centre. Gradually he felt exuberance with his life where everything was picture perfect. There was no sorrow, no remorse, no regret and no despondency. He was living a perfect life with his parents and girlfriend. Eventually by some small incidents he started to realize he needs to exit from his so called reality.
It is a small drama depicted bit differently with a typical theme. We all seek happiness and we constantly wants to be happy which is actually impossible. Living and life as a whole is challenging. Being happy doesn’t necessarily mean living in a perfect world without agony and pain. Being content with whatever little, one has is all what matters at the end of the day. It takes effort to achieve something which ultimately brings happiness. Happiness is always lurking on our way, we just need little patience and hard work to achieve such pursuit.
Exit is an interesting drama with an old concept depicted in a new way. Entire two hours were engrossing for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Choi Tae Joon was natural, strong and intense in playing his role and the rest of the casts also did pretty good job.
Background score is quite good thought it has no OSTs.
Two hours is not much. If you want to pass some time and don't want to watch anything lengthy just give this drama a shot.

I searched for a short but awesome drama, and here it is.
At first I was very confused, really. I thought "What is going on here ? Did I missed something?". But when you watch the next episodes, you'll understand. Haha.
The story is kinda depressing and gangster like stuff, but I really like that. Yes.. sometimes it's really sad. To answer maybe some thought about a love story. No, theres not really a big love story. But the story is really awesome. The actors are great and talented too. I don't want to say many details about what is going on in this movie because you really need to see it yourself. But what I can say about the story itself.. they could have made more of the story. Especially at the end. That was a bit disappointing. I expected more, but everyone sees it differently.
About the music. I did not hear any kind of OST there. But I think that this drama don't really need one.
Would I recommend it? - Yes.
Would I rewatch it? - Of course and maybe not just once.
