The drama tells the story of Kang Hae Hwan, a baseball player whose career stops after a single setback. He meets Seo Hee Seung, a former lawyer who now works as a sports agent, and together they begin a journey to help him return to the field.
Your Ground Cast and Characters
Han Hyo Joo takes on the role of Seo Hee Seung, a lawyer with a perfect winning record who has never lost a case. Her law firm’s CEO sends her to work at the sports agency Donghaeng, where she enters the world of professional baseball. She knows very little about the sport, but her competitive spirit is unmatched. After starting her new job as an agent, she meets her first love again after 11 years and faces events that completely change her life.
Gong Myoung plays Kang Hae Hwan, a right-handed pitcher for the Miracles baseball team. People called him a genius pitcher during his high school days, and many saw him as the future of baseball. But after a shocking incident, he falls into a long slump that changes everything. When Seo Hee Seung appears as his agent, he starts a new journey to return to the mound.
