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 eccentric coach 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 contest, 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 Yohan (as Yoon Sung-jun), raising expectations.
Among these, a photo released on the 18th showing Hanyang High School rugby team's eccentric coach Joo Ga-ram (played by Yoon Kye-sang) holding a red megaphone has sparked curiosity. Particularly, Ga-ram's bright-eyed, mischievous smile catches the eye. He appears to be having a blast. Additionally, the sight of people gathering around him as he speaks into the megaphone stirs up curiosity about the unfolding situation.
This scene depicts Ga-ram's attempt to retrieve the team captain Yoon Sung-jun (played by Kim Yohan), who has left school without permission, using a clever tactic. By announcing through the megaphone that he's looking for Sung-jun throughout the neighborhood, Ga-ram's playful summoning strategy leaves Sung-jun with no choice but to respond, albeit with visible annoyance.
The unique summoning skill of the quirky coach Joo Ga-ram and the rebellious glances from his player Sung-jun promise an extreme master-apprentice chemistry that sparks interest. At the same time, it raises the question of whether Ga-ram can win over the heart of Sung-jun, who resists him, and whether they can come together as one team. 'The Winning Try' is gathering attention for its upcoming broadcast.
Filling this summer with the passionate energy of youth, 'The Winning Try' will follow 'Our Movie' and premiere on the 25th (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
