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

Namgoong Min is a terrific lead in an outstanding cast. But I found the script uneven and draggy at points. Still, it's generally a fine series I enjoyed and recommend.

A baseball teamI called dreams has been placed last for four seasons and when the manager steps down he is replaced by Baek Seung-soo (Namkkong Min) He has no history with baseball management and may have been hired for underhanded reasons. The team is highly dysfunctional but with his calm unusual approach he starts to make real changes. I am a fan of Park Eun-bin which is what drew me to watch this series and she plays the operations manager Lee Se Young and as always she along with all the cast provide a sterling performance. I think it rates so highly as many baseball fans enjoy the vast amount of statistics and a look behind the scenes of this imaginary club.

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.

Tracking Min Namkoong's performances brought me to Stove League. As am NOT a baseball fan I put off watching it. Then when everything else looked mediocre I tuned in--and wow--the foundations of corruption of the people who never step up to bat--those who want a team to fail for their own purposes, greed, ethical corruption and just plan dirty dealing bring a lot of substance to this drama. Min is generally stone cold stoic throughout--but still manages to give off pressure cooker steam somehow--he's a truly great actor. I didn't expect this kind of role after One Dollar Lawyer. There's solid performances from the entire cast fleshing out individual personal stories which also make it worth watching. This is not a fluffy cotton candy baseball drama. Loving baseball is not necessary for enjoying the human drama. See how long it takes before you're throwing verbal abuse at the nasty humans on your screen of choice.
