Deokcheon High School doesn't just have the worst baseball team in the country. It also risks losing it. New footage from « GIFT »reveal the duo who will try to save her: Coach Jung Min-yong (Kim Woo-bin) and the team leader, Yoon Seo-jin (Seo Eun-soo). Two baseball enthusiasts, but with two radically different approaches.
Save the team from disbandment
Here’s the big news in this report: the Deokcheon High School baseball team is in danger of being disbanded. Yoon Seo-jin, a physical education teacher and the team’s coach, is determined to prevent that from happening.
For her, the solution lies with the players themselves. She continues to believe in their hard work and their potential, even when the results aren't there.
A coach who changed his approach
Jung Min-yong, on the other hand, has changed profoundly. A former pitching coach for a professional team, he once believed that the journey and progress mattered more than the score.
But since his accident—and the insight it gave him—his perspective has shifted. Able to recognize at a glance the talent and potential of each player, He now evaluates the team based solely on their natural abilities..
On the bench, two different attitudes
The new photos show the two characters in action. Jung Min-yong, wearing a red baseball jacket, watches a game from the bench with obvious passion. In another, more serious photo, he holds his playbook and scans the field, ready to lead his team.
Yoon Seo-jin, meanwhile, stands with her arms crossed, staring straight ahead. In the final shot, she watches the players from behind as they play on the field. This demeanor reflects her sense of responsibility and the affection she has for her team.
Despite their differences, the two characters share a genuine love of baseball. But their contrast—between natural talent and hard work—promises to be one of the driving forces of the series. The same debate also runs through the team itself, between the hard-working captain played by Cha Been and the prodigy played by Han Si-hyun.
It remains to be seen which of these two approaches will save the team.
