“Fullcount” is a high-stakes baseball drama that follows the fierce battle for survival among those who risk everything in a cutthroat baseball world filled with schemes and power struggles — all for the coveted position of professional baseball manager.
Kim Rae Won’s “Fullcount” teaser shows an underdog coach refusing to back down
Kim Rae Won plays Hwang Jin Ho, the acting manager of the popular team Stars, a club on the brink of missing the postseason. Once a backup catcher, Jin Ho earned recognition for his sharp coaching abilities as the team’s battery coach — but he has remained an outsider within an organization that favors homegrown talent.
Taking the acting manager job is a poisoned chalice, and Jin Ho finds himself caught in a fierce storm of internal conflict as schemes swirl around him. The teaser captures the tumultuous highs and lows of fall baseball, with Jin Ho declaring: “Yes, I was a second-rate player. But why can’t it be me?” He follows it up with the battle cry: “I’m going to do whatever it takes to win.”
A spiritual successor to the hit “Stove League”
“Fullcount” carries the legacy of “Stove League,” the 2019 smash that sparked a baseball craze among Korean television audiences. Like its predecessor, the series promises to capture both the fierce competition on the field and the calculated mind games and power struggles happening in the dugout.
With Kim Rae Won leading a cast facing ruthless internal politics, the drama looks set to deliver the same kind of underdog energy that made “Stove League” a phenomenon. Stay tuned for more updates on the premiere schedule.
