Top tier sports-politics

99.9% politics, 0.1% gameplay. I expected a sports, gameplay driven drama but it's mostly political. This may sound discouraging but it's actually the strongest part of the show. It's engaging, very well written masterpiece.

You will feel like part of the stove league post season improvement throughout the show. Every episode tackles all the problems (the reasons they keep losing every year) and important part that leads to the overall improvement of the team, not just the baseball team but most especially the internal people that make up the whole dream team. It's something that you will cherish as you near the end.

It's so refreshing to see a show that let us see what happens internally in a sports team. What can I say? it's certainly chaotic!

Nam Goongmin is an excellent actor. His role as the General Manager was very convincing. Everyone did their part harmoniously.

This is an excellently well-written drama that even for people who don't usually like sports (like me) will surely enjoy.
