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 growth sports drama that follows the unpredictable journey of a quirky 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, who also co-directed 'Taxi Driver 2', and written by Lim Jin-ah, a winner of the SBS Cultural Foundation's script contest, has garnered attention with the participation of Yoon Kye-sang (as Joo Ga-ram), Lim Se-mi (as Bae Yi-ji), and Kim Yo-han (as Yoon Sung-jun), a cast known for their solid acting skills and vibrant energy.
On the 8th, 'The Winning Try' released three character posters that radiate intense energy just by looking at them. These posters capture the bold gazes of Joo Ga-ram (played by Yoon Kye-sang), Bae Yi-ji (played by Lim Se-mi), and Yoon Sung-jun (played by Kim Yo-han) as they confront rumors and judgments head-on in their own unique ways, raising expectations.
First off, Hanyang High School's eccentric director Joo Ga-ram exudes a delightful charm, paying no mind to what others say and facing everything with wit. His ability to breezily pop soap bubbles with a nonchalant expression showcases his laid-back attitude. His 'top-notch mental strength' in brushing off sharp glances with a smile raises anticipation for how he will shine in his role as the rugby team's coach.
Bae Yi-ji, the shooting coach at Hanyang High School and Joo Ga-ram's ex-girlfriend, faces baseless rumors with a direct aim, breaking through situations with confidence. Despite the rampant gossip about her competition with students and her ex-boyfriend, Bae Yi-ji's steely resolve is evident in her determined gaze, generating excitement.
Lastly, the character poster of Yoon Sung-jun showcases him living up to his role as a rugby player by tackling evaluations head-on with all his might. His bruised face and the predatory look in his eyes convey a rebellious yet powerful presence, heightening expectations for his charisma as the team captain.
With Joo Ga-ram, Bae Yi-ji, and Yoon Sung-jun choosing to boldly face challenges in their own ways, anticipation is building for the events that will unfold at Hanyang High School. Meanwhile, the excitement for the performances of Yoon Kye-sang, Lim Se-mi, and Kim Yo-han, who will bring these captivating characters to life, is on the rise.
'The Winning Try' is set to follow the currently airing 'Our Movie' and will premiere on the 25th (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
