Heyyyy! 

Any drama recommendations where the plot revolves around a sport?? 

Might be totally obscure, but it'd be even more awesome if you know of any that revolve around volleyball or baseball (as a former player of both sports, it just makes it so much more fun to watch! -- also sidenote: I've seen Thumping Spike already). But any sport will do too!  

Thank you!!

Reply 1994 , Glory Jane, H2 have one of the two main leads who is a baseball player, 9 end 2 outs and Operation Proposal have baseball in it too but it doesn't really play a huge role in the plot

Buzzer Beat - main lead is a basketball player 

The Whirlwind Girl 1 and 2 - martial arts

My Mr. Mermaid - swimming 

Heading to the ground - soccer

I really liked Volleyball Lover, but I can no longer find English subs for it.

Definitely recommend H2 as well, one of my favorite dramas. 

A few others:

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - Weightlifting - Korea

Swimming Battle - Swimming - Taiwan

Lightning! - Fencing - China

Go! Goal! Fighting! - Soccer - China

Taereung National Village - Olympic hopefuls live and train together (and fall in love, of course). I liked it a lot, and thought the romance aspect was very sweet and endearing.  Plus, it's short.

I really liked Buzzer Beat the best, but recommend/liked these a lot too: 

  • To The Beautiful You (Kdrama)
  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
  • Who Are You: School 2015
  • High School King of Savvy (if you are into a noona romance as well)

 

I will add 

 Kimi ni Sasageru Emblem and regatta

here is my mdl list

There are so few sports drama in any country, which is such a shame cause I think they are definitely interesting and quite compelling, well definitely the ones I've watched were so interesting and awesome. 

Anyway I totally agree with Pride, Buzzer Beater, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bokjoo, Pride, Tauerung National Village, H2, Operation Proposal, Fight My Way, Whirlwind girl (season 1), Thumping Spike (Season 1). Definitely a great watch dramas. Those are the ones that totally centered on sports not just a side note.

For additional ones:

  • The Last Match - basketball
  • Short - Speed Skating
  • Running Go - running/marathon
  • Triple - figure skating
  • Hana Kimi - High jump (japanese drama)
  • Puck - ice hockey (but no romance)
  • Holyland - boxing (both korean and japanese drama)

Try Attack No.1 Japanese drama

Centered around woman volleyball team and there's a hint of romance.

Suikyuu Yankees (Japanese)- water polo; more about the sport and friendships than the romance tho

PRIDE with Takuya Kimura is the best.

Baseball:

  • Rookies (no romance)
  • H2
  • Yowakutemo Katemasu (little romance)

Other sports:

  • Suikyuu Yankees (waterpolo)
  • Weightlifting fairy (implied in the name but there's also swimming involved)
  • Tumbling (gymnastics, no romance)
  • Pride (hockey)
  • Buzzer Beat (basketball)
  • Heading to the ground (soccer)
  • Smile, Again (Softball)
  • 1 Pound no fukuin (Box)
  • Bull fighting (basketball)
  • Hot Shot (basketball)

Wow.... You guys are amazing!!!

Thank you so so much!!!
