Despite the main subject being different, i found lots of similarities between the two. The first a’d most important being the community aspect. There is the same family vibe between all the characters. The dramas are so warm znd and have such angreat vibe.

Different settings, but same vibe. A group of friends dealing with life and finding comfort on each other. A feel good drama full of everyday situations that will make you be grateful about life.

The Gongjin villagers' warmth reminds me a lot of people of Haenam. Each person has their own story to tell...

While Racket Boys tells the stories of a boys' badminton team and how grow, both as people and as players, Mental Coach Jegal seems to go in that direction too, even if it is about skating.

In this drama based on basketball (and somewhat on the anime Slam Dunk), a Taiwanese national team basketballer.
Duan Chen Feng, whose world consists of his 2 greatest loves: basketball and his girlfriend, Xiao Xi. They find their perfect world shattered, however, when on the day of his most important match, Duan Chen Feng has an accident on his way to the competition, and paralyses Angel, who just happens to be the sister of Iceman, his biggest opponent since they were young.

To shoulder his responsibilty, Chen Feng leaves school and his basketball so that he can take care of Angel. Xiao Xi, who does not know the reason behind Chen Feng's leaving school and giving up his beloved basketball, is heartbroken and bewildered. At about the same time, Tai Zi, falls in love with Xiao Xi's plucky and determined character.
