Numbers

Recently I watched Innocent Defendant, a Korean drama about a prosecutor who was framed for the murder of his wife and daughter. The storyline was interesting, but the details weren't taken care of so well. A number of times, it had me thinking, "Why on earth did he do that?" or "Why didn't he do that?" But there were also quite a lot of humorous scenes, which together with the overall plot made the show an enjoyable watch.

Notably, a big part of the drama took place in prison, where the inmates are often referred to by their 4-digit number.

Then this weekend, there was an urgent issue at work and they asked a few of us to step in and work during the weekend (it was wrapped up in one day yesterday, yay!). They created a Whatsapp group, and with engineers and managers in the group, some people were asking stuff like, "Who is 1234?" "Who is 5678?" I couldn't help noticing the resemblance to being referred to like prison inmates... :P
