"Full Count" has confirmed its broadcast schedule for February 2027 and is preparing to launch in earnest.

SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Full Count" (screenplay by Park Myeong-rang, directed by Ham Jun-ho) depicts the survival struggle of those who stake everything on a sports battlefield rife with scheming as they vie for the throne of "professional baseball manager."

In particular, "Full Count" is an ambitious work from SBS, which has established itself as a "baseball drama powerhouse" after "Stove League," which sparked a baseball fever in living rooms with its phenomenal popularity in 2019. This marks the broadcaster's first such project in eight years. By confirming a broadcast slot for "February without baseball," it is expected to quench the thirst of baseball fans eagerly awaiting the start of the professional baseball season, heating up the small screen.

The powerful casting lineup that will anchor the drama is also generating buzz. Kim Rae-won, an "actor you can trust" returning to the small screen after four years, and Park Hoon, a "performance-driven actor" who has proven his overwhelming presence across genres and platforms, are set to deliver a tense acting showdown.

In the drama, Kim Rae-won plays Hwang Jin-ho, the interim manager of the popular team "Stars," which is on the verge of missing out on the postseason. As a battery coach, Hwang Jin-ho is a figure who never saw much time as a starter during his playing days, spending most of his career as a backup catcher. While he has received better evaluations as a coach, he has lived as an outsider within the exclusive atmosphere inside "Stars," which values pure lineage. He now leaps into a fierce whirlpool by taking on the interim manager position, akin to a "poisoned chalice."

Park Hoon plays Jo Dong-hee, a legendary pitcher for "Stars" and the pitching coach who is considered the top candidate for the next manager. Despite his brilliant career, he carries the deficiency of never having won a championship as a player, and now aims to lift the trophy as a leader. In this context, Jo Dong-hee considers it an insult to compete for the manager position with Hwang Jin-ho, who was once a second-tier player, revealing his ambition to climb to the throne by making Hwang Jin-ho the scapegoat.

Attention is focused on the fierce rivalry between Kim Rae-won and Park Hoon over the throne of "Stars" manager. In addition to the nail-biting contests on the field, the intricate strategic maneuvers and power struggles unfolding in the dugout are expected to deliver unrelenting tension.

Meanwhile, "Full Count" will air in February 2027.
