Actors Yoon Kye-sang and Kim Yo-han are set to captivate audiences with their unique mentor-mentee chemistry in SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Winning Try'.
Scheduled to premiere on the 25th (Friday), the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Winning Try' (written by Lim Jin-ah, directed by Jang Young-seok) is a comedic sports drama that follows the unpredictable journey of eccentric director Joo Ga-ram and the perennially last-place Hanyang High School rugby team as they sprint towards national championship glory. The drama, co-directed by Jang Young-seok of 'Taxi Driver 2' fame and penned by Lim Jin-ah, a winner of the SBS Cultural Foundation's script competition, boasts a cast that combines solid acting skills with vibrant energy, including Yoon Kye-sang (as Joo Ga-ram), Lim Se-mi (as Bae Yi-ji), and Kim Yo-han (as Yoon Sung-jun), raising expectations.
Yoon Kye-sang returns as 'Joo Ga-ram', the quirky new coach and former 'idol of the rugby world', turned last-place Hanyang High's savior, while Kim Yo-han plays 'Yoon Sung-jun', the strict captain of the Hanyang High rugby team, ready to deliver heart-pounding character play.
On the 9th, 'The Winning Try' released stills showcasing the unexpected mentor-mentee chemistry between Yoon Kye-sang and Kim Yo-han, sparking interest. In the revealed stills, Joo Ga-ram is seen casually dressed as if out for a neighborhood walk, coaching his team. Instead of a playbook or rugby ball, he is fiddling with trivial soap bubbles, embodying pure joy. His expression, sneakily glancing at his players as if timing a prank, is bound to induce laughter.
Meanwhile, the stills capture a starkly different atmosphere around Yoon Sung-jun, whose icy demeanor grabs attention. Standing firm in front of Joo Ga-ram, Yoon Sung-jun's rebellious gaze is devoid of any humor, contrasting sharply with Joo Ga-ram's relaxed and mischievous vibe. Instead, Yoon Sung-jun exudes a resolute charisma, suggesting a fascinating role reversal between coach and player that heightens intrigue.
Amidst this unpredictable chemistry akin to a rugby ball's unpredictable bounce, what tumultuous developments lie ahead in 'The Winning Try' remains to be seen.
Set to fill this summer with the fiery energy of youth, 'The Winning Try' will follow the currently airing 'Our Movie', premiering on the 25th (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
