Stove League

Its baseball, greatest sport ever and the best sport for making series and movies, nothing bad here and i think ive seen ever baseball movie made.Not a huge fan of the leading male but he's good in this actually plays the perfect GM So little background on the name, in the USA in the cold of winter people would sit around the hot stove and talk/mostly arguing about well anything baseball hinse the name "Hot Stove League".

enjoy it... i sure am

If you like Moneyball movie and want to watch it in serial movie, you can watch this. The pace at the beginning is a little bit slow, but believe me it would get much much better after that. One of my favorite K-Drama.

I didn't know what to expect , since I'm not really into baseball or Sports. But wow I was surprised. The series was really interesting and captivating. I couldn't wait for the next episode. The struggles and issues that needed to be resolved were very entertaining. I really like how the issues were overcome. Loved how everyone began to work together to get to a common goal.

The writing was really good. The characters were perfect. We got to see there ups and downs and although confronted with situations that seemed lost, they preserved.

This was a great series. Don't be dissuade by it being a sports series, because it is more than that.

This drama hits all the right notes. Folks who trivialize saying 'this is Moneyball version of K-drama' are grossly downplaying the depth of this show. There is so much happening in each episode. The first episode instantly sets-up an intriguing plot and every episode unravels something interesting or tackles a deep rooted issue.

Although its set against a Sports (Baseball) backdrop it isn't simply a Sports story. Please don't turn away thinking its a Sports drama. Infact there is hardly any on-field action through its 16 episodes length. It focuses more on the management side of the team and the problems that pop-up after years of under-performance. Along the way you may even pick up few useful tips on topics such as negotiation, presentation skills and general management.

What I loved:

• Great storyline
• Fantastic acting (Namkoong Min is a Korean treasure, however he was aptly supported by Eun-bin Park and others)
• Good explanation of important Baseball stats (on Viki) and not dumping lot of numbers on our face (easy to follow for a novice like me)

It's a pity so few people have watched this drama. It deserves much more recognition and love.

Go Dreams!

P.S. There is no romance in this drama. Just so you know ;) It also won the Baeksang Arts Awards for Best Drama for the year 2020

As in doctor prisoner, this is again a atypical story centres on sports management. It shows male lead's effort to choose plot that is new to ordinary kdrama.

I am living in a small city and never has resources to develop sports, like the scale shown in the drama. It is interesting to know the team behind a sports team.

The pace of story is at times kind of slow. But most of the time the drama develops with great stories. Going aboard to interview foreign sportsman, taking of illegal drugs, selling and buying of team members. All these constitute a rich story and well-developed plot.

It is just disappointed for male lead to lose the best actor in Baesang. He will have more chance to win if there is a love line with a more beautiful female lead. Hope he could win in the next round of award presentation.
