Director Kim Sung-kyun successfully concluded his first winter vacation in his baseball life with his disciples.

On the 14th, the final episode of the Tving original (directed by Jang Si-won, Choi Tae-kyu) was released, depicting the scene of Director Kim Sung-kyun and the Kyoto Four—Jeong Geun-woo, Lee Dae-ho, Park Jae-wook, and Im Sang-woo—retracing memories and visiting the house where he lived as a child after 65 years. The scene of Director Kim Sung-kyun successfully recalling his memories has elicited emotional reactions in the community, with comments such as, "The scene of the director looking at his house is so heartwarming," "It was touching to see him take photos at the place where he took pictures with his mother," and "The love for his disciples seems to be the best."

Director Kim Sung-kyun stepped towards his childhood home after 65 years. Lee Dae-ho, who had attentively listened to Director Kim's stories during dinner the night before, played a significant role in locating the spot where his childhood home once stood by fully engaging his spatial perception abilities. Upon discovering familiar trees, the memories of his childhood came rushing back, and Director Kim's face was filled with a peculiar emotion towards his younger self, leaving a strong lingering impression.

Then, in front of the tree at his childhood home where memories are cherished, Director Kim Sung-kyun took a photo with his loyal disciples, building new and precious memories. Visiting his alma mater during this Kyoto trip and reminiscing about the places where he nurtured his baseball dreams, Director Kim's smile made it feel as though he had returned to being seventeen, evoking pride in Jeong Geun-woo. The tight bond and affectionate feelings between the teacher and students brought a sense of warmth.

On the last day of winter vacation, Director Kim Sung-kyun and the Kyoto Four headed to a municipal stadium near their accommodation for training. Director Kim expressed satisfaction with the atmosphere of the Kyoto municipal stadium, reminiscent of the Noryangjin training facility in South Korea, revealing his hidden true nature, which bewildered the members. The trip from Jeju Island to Gangneung and now to Kyoto turned out to be a winter camp rather than a winter vacation. To make matters worse, Director Kim instructed the production crew to join in on the training, causing a 'group mental collapse' among the members.

After a long time, Director Kim Sung-kyun turned on his 'baseball god mode' and diligently coached Im Sang-woo, who was preparing for training in Taiwan. During this time, Director Kim had not only included Im Sang-woo in SoftBank Hawks training to broaden his perspective, but he also showcased his deep affection for his disciple by introducing him to popular eateries and photo spots in Kyoto. Aware of Director Kim's warm consideration, Im Sang-woo shyly expressed his gratitude, amplifying the warmth.

Through the winter vacation that Director Kim Sung-kyun experienced for the first time in his baseball life, he created precious memories with his disciples. Stepping away from the baseball field for a moment, he genuinely enjoyed his first rest by planning everything from casting participants to travel itineraries. Throughout the trip, Director Kim's face was adorned with a continuous smile, suggesting his satisfaction with this vacation.

Additionally, the warmth in Director Kim Sung-kyun's interactions with the production crew, whom he carefully monitored, and his nurturing attitude towards them, akin to that of a grandparent, also generated a sense of warmth. Director Kim's human side conveyed warmth to those watching.

The Tving original , which captures the story of Director Kim Sung-kyun's first winter vacation in life, is currently available to stream in its entirety on Tving.
