Full Count

“Full Count” will immerse viewers in the world of men's professional baseball, focusing on the intense competition between coaches.

Kim Rae-won plays Hwang Jin-ho, the catchers' coach for the Stars. A former backup catcher, he never stood out as a player, but has established himself as an excellent coach.

Problem: The Stars prioritize players who came up through the club’s system. Hwang Jin-ho has always been an outsider within the organization. When he’s given the job of interim manager—just as the team is in danger of missing the playoffs—the opportunity feels more like a trap than a gift.

Opposite him, Park Hoon plays Jo Dong-hee, the club’s legend and the clear favorite for the manager’s position, who is determined not to let a former backup player steal his spot.

SBS clearly draws on the legacy of «Stove League,» the 2019 drama that sparked a veritable baseball craze among Korean viewers. «Fullcount» follows the same formula: it focuses as much on the competition on the field as it does on the strategic maneuvering and power struggles taking place in the dugout.
