Actors Han Hyo-joo, Gong Myung, Kim Shin-rok, and Sung Jun are set to appear in 'Your Ground'.

The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Your Ground' (planned by Namgung Seong-woo / directed by Lee Sang-yup and Kang Chae-won / written by Hwang Hae-yeon / produced by Studio S), scheduled for broadcast at the end of 2026, is a ground healing romance about baseball player Kang Hae-hwan, whose dreams came to a halt after a single setback, who meets Seo Hee-seung, a former lawyer turned agent, and moves forward toward his dream once again.

Director Lee Sang-yup, known for his delicate emotional storytelling and distinctive character portrayals through works such as the 'My Secret Romance' series, 'My Youth', 'Half of Half', 'Known Wife', and 'Shopping King Louie', teams up with rookie writer Hwang Hae-yeon, who has garnered high expectations for her fresh writing style and solid storytelling. Together, they launch 'Your Ground'. Adding to the anticipation, Han Hyo-joo, Gong Myung, Kim Shin-rok, and Sung Jun join the cast, promising a powerful team performance.

Han Hyo-joo takes on the role of Seo Hee-seung, a former lawyer turned agent. Seo Hee-seung is a top-tier lawyer who has never lost a single case in court. Following instructions from her law firm's managing partner, she is dispatched to the sports agency 'Donghaeng', unexpectedly stepping into the world of professional baseball. Though she knows nothing about baseball—not even the word "baseball"—she dives headfirst into the agent world with an extraordinary competitive spirit. Reuniting with her first love, Kang Hae-hwan, after 11 years, she faces life's unpredictable curveballs that are difficult to read. Han Hyo-joo will showcase a new side of herself, alternating between unstoppable charisma and endearing clumsiness when it comes to baseball.

Gong Myung portrays Kang Hae-hwan, a right-handed pitcher for the Miracles who was once hailed as a next-generation ace. Known as a "genius pitcher" since high school, Kang Hae-hwan led the baseball world until he experienced a shocking event that completely upended his playing career. Plunged into a long slump, he reunites with Seo Hee-seung, who now claims to be his agent, and begins his journey back to the mound. Gong Myung will delicately depict Kang Hae-hwan's growth as he rises from setbacks while also delivering a heart-pounding "straight pitch" of first-love romance with Han Hyo-joo to viewers at home.

Kim Shin-rok plays Dong Chi-young, the head of 'Donghaeng', Korea's top sports agency, anchoring the story with strength and stability. As a veteran who designs not only player contracts, FA status, and salary negotiations but also their entire careers, he is known in the industry as a cold-blooded negotiator. Attention will focus on Kim Shin-rok's portrayal of Dong Chi-young, brought to life through his solid acting foundation and attention to detail.

Sung Jun takes on the role of Yoon I-seok, Kang Hae-hwan's rival. As a sidearm pitcher for the Miracles, Yoon I-seok rose to become the team's ace while Kang Hae-hwan was away from the mound. While he wishes more than anyone else for Hae-hwan's return, on the field they face each other as unavoidable rivals. Additionally, by closely observing agent Seo Hee-seung, unexpected variables arise in his own heart. Sung Jun is expected to densely portray Yoon I-seok's complex emotions as he navigates between friendship, competition, and genuine feelings.

'Your Ground' offers unique entertainment through the first-love romance of two people who reunite as player and agent after 11 years, along with "stories beyond baseball" unfolding across the field and dugout. The diverse chemistry among those entangled as players and agents, friends and rivals, mentors and mentees will simultaneously stir excitement and empathy as they play out their battles over competition, love, and dreams.
