Film : A Warm Journey Towards a New Challenge in Korean Cinema

The film tells the story of an unknown volleyball coach who pours everything he has into achieving a single victory. This film explores how small victories in life can transform people, going beyond just winning.

The film revolves around the character Kim WooJin, played by Song KangHo. Kim WooJin, once a promising setter, failed to achieve his dream of winning and now lives as a coach at a local volleyball school after retirement. He then takes on the role of coach for the Pink Storm team, which is on the verge of disbandment. The team’s representative, Kang JungWon, played by Park JeongMin, is a third-generation chaebol who only hopes for one win. The meeting between the unknown coach and the perpetually last-place team generates anticipation for the drama that will unfold.

From the start, the film clearly presents their goal, offering the audience laughter and emotion through the players’ personalities and humor. Particularly, Song KangHo’s unique comedic performance brings a refreshing vibe, captivating the audience with Kim WooJin’s bluntness and romance in the film. Lee MinJi adds vitality by appearing as a Japanese mercenary player, and Park JeongMin transforms into a chairman delivering a different kind of humor.

Director Shin YeonSik expressed his sense of challenge in portraying the sport of volleyball, which had not been dealt with in films before. He enhanced realism through training camps with the actors. Real business team players appear as opponents of Pink Storm, and famous volleyball commentators and coaches make special appearances, adding liveliness. Volleyball fans’ expectations are heightened by the surprise appearance of the volleyball queen, Kim YeonKyung.

As the success stories of mid-to-low budget films in the Korean film market increase, can continue this trend? Set to release on December 4, 2024, the film is ready to capture the audience’s heart with its new challenges and warm story. Keep an eye on whether will succeed in its future endeavors.
