Description
Synopsis | Hye-seong, who grew up in hardship but was born with extraordinary talent for baseball, falls in love with Eom-ji, the girl who protected and cared for him. When Eom-ji transfers to another school, they are separated. Years later, they reunite at a baseball field, only for Hye-seong to discover that Eom-ji has become the girlfriend of Ma Dong-tak, a genius high school slugger. From then on, Dong-tak and Hye-seong continue to clash endlessly on the baseball field, with Eom-ji standing between them. They each go on to play for different professional baseball teams, but Hye-seong is eventually forced to give up baseball due to a severe shoulder injury. Under Coach Son Byeong-ho, who forms a team of outcast players driven by their fierce devotion to the game, Hye-seong undergoes grueling training and returns to the world of baseball. His rivalry with Dong-tak, who has won Eom-ji’s heart, begins once again.
