Yoon Kye-sang's return with his sly comic acting particularly caught everyone's attention. Seamlessly moving between slyness and charisma, he perfectly portrayed the unpredictable new coach of Hanyang High School's rugby team, Joo Ga-ram. His ability to turn the room into a sea of laughter with just one line, "The coach has arrived," and even making dog barking sounds convincingly, effortlessly induced laughter. His portrayal of a coach's charisma in protecting his students further heightened anticipation for his multifaceted performance in 'Try'.
Lim Se-mi, who heated up the atmosphere with her unique vocal tone, perfectly embodied the role of Bae Yi-ji, the shooting coach of Hanyang High School and Joo Ga-ram's ex-girlfriend. Her portrayal of a determined athlete unbroken by the harsh realities of life, and her explosive 'real ex-girlfriend' mode upon reuniting with her life-changing ex-boyfriend Joo Ga-ram, showcased her mastery of emotional control. This has amplified curiosity about what new facets Lim Se-mi will bring to the screen this time.
Additionally, Kim Yo-han, playing the role of Yoon Sung-jun, the captain of Hanyang High School's third-year rugby team, drew attention by returning to his nineteen-year-old self. His genuine passion for rugby and the captain's struggle and fervor were vividly portrayed. The special mentor-mentee chemistry with Yoon Kye-sang was particularly intriguing. His outburst in front of the endlessly teasing Yoon Kye-sang, "Losing is just losing!" resonated deeply, making viewers fully immerse in the character of Yoon Sung-jun. This raises anticipation for the hot-blooded youth growth story Kim Yo-han will unfold.
Moreover, Gil Hae-yeon, Kim Min-sang, Jang Hyuk-jin, Lee Sung-wook, Jung Soon-won, Song Young-gyu, Park Jung-yeon, Kim Yi-joon, Lee Soo-chan, Yoon Jae-chan, Hwang Sung-bin, Woo Min-gyu, Jo Han-gyeol, Kim Dan, and others brought vitality to the script reading scene with their robust acting skills and healthy energy. The seamless comic timing and the actors' passionate shouting of "Hanyang High School!" have heightened expectations for 'Try's unique team play.
