Break Free is the eighth Malaysian production by MediaCorp Studios Malaysia. Filming began in July 2012 and took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It made its debut in Singapore on 18 March 2013. It is scheduled to air on Malaysia on 27 March 2013. The drama’s initial Chinese title was “囚鸟” but due to viewership considerations, the title was changed later on in Channel 8’s Dramatasy 2012 event.
The series is about four men from different backgrounds who were convicted to jail and their aftermaths when they were released.
The series is one of three drama serials to tie-in for 3rd-highest-rated drama serial in 2013 (with It’s a Wonderful Life and The Journey: A Voyage), behind C.L.I.F. 2 (with 901,000) and later The Dream Makers (with 885,000).
