The drama "The Winning Try" has been dubbed the second "Stove League" and is gaining word of mouth, while newcomer actor Kim Dan is catching the viewers' attention.
Kim Dan left a greeting message on his Instagram account on the 2nd, saying, "Moon Woong!! Please take care of me!" In the accompanying photo, he perfectly embodies the character Moon Woong from "The Winning Try." Dressed in sportswear with a band-aid on his face, he fully captured the rough rugby player character.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "The Winning Try" (written by Lim Jin-a / directed by Jang Young-seok) is a comedy sports drama about the unpredictable eccentric director Joo Ga-ram (played by Yoon Gye-sang) and the long-standing underdog Hanyang High School rugby team racing toward victory in the national sports competition.
Kim Dan, who plays Moon Woong, who joins the Hanyang High School rugby team late, is meeting viewers. Moon Woong is an ace who inherited the innate DNA from his father, a former rugby player. Yoon Gye-sang, who plays director Joo Ga-ram, showcases a perfect chemistry with his rugby team seniors, contributing to the popularity of "The Winning Try."
Starting with a rating of 4.1% on the 25th of last month (according to Nielsen Korea's nationwide household standards), this work has recorded ratings of 4.4%, 5.1%, and 5.4%, sailing smoothly. It is SBS's first sports drama in four years since "Stove League" and "Racket Boys," and it is gradually gaining word of mouth from viewers as a healing comedy growth drama.
For Kim Dan, this is like a debut in the living rooms as the character Moon Woong. Just as Chae Jong-hyeop grew from a supporting role to a leading role through "Stove League," there is rising anticipation as to whether Kim Dan will also engrave his name firmly in the public's mind thanks to "The Winning Try."
