Actor Kim Woo-bin transforms into a coach leading the lowest-ranked high school baseball team in the country.
TvN said Friday that its new Saturday-Sunday drama "Gift," starring Kim Woo-bin, will air its first episode at 9:10 p.m. on Dec. 5.
"Gift," based on a webtoon of the same name, depicts the story of a former professional baseball player who gains special abilities after an unexpected accident and takes up the position of coach for Deokcheon High School's baseball team, which ranks last in the nation.
In the drama, Kim plays the role of Jung Min-yong, a former professional baseball pitching coach. Jung is a character who transforms Deokcheon High School's baseball team in his own unique way with a special ability to instantly recognize players' baseball talent.
The teaser video released on this day features the process of a baseball being passed through the hands of Deokcheon High School baseball team members and finally reaching the coach.
From the pitcher throwing the ball from the pitcher's mound, to the batter focusing on hitting, to the outfielder taking position for defense, the players' movements quickly intersect. The baseball, having passed through the players' hands, is ultimately handed to Coach Jung Min-yong.
Jung appears with a confident smile while gripping the ball. Interest is piqued as to what kind of changes he will create with his players after taking charge of the lowest-ranked baseball team in the country.
Direction is handled by directors Kim Gyu-tae and Ham Seung-hoon, who previously worked on "World of the Married," "Our Blues," and "The Last Row Boy." The screenplay is written by writers Min Jung, Hae Ju, and Seong Eun.
