“The Winning Try” (Korean: “트라이: 우리는 기적이 된다”) – a refreshing and heartfelt Korean sports drama. Premiered on SBS on July 25, 2025, with 12 episodes, each around 70 minutes long. Aired on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:50 KST. Simulcast worldwide via Netflix, marking the first K-drama produced under the SBS–Netflix partnership for global release.
Ju Ga‑ram (Yoon Kye‑sang), once a promising national rugby star, falls from grace due to a doping scandal. After three years away, he returns to his alma mater – Hanyang Physical Education High School – as a contract coach for its underachieving rugby team, which has a humiliating record of “26 losses in 25 matches”.
His goal: guide the team, the perennial underdogs, to victory at the National Sports Festival, confronting past regrets and reigniting his passion for the sport.
Along the way, Ga‑ram is reunited with Bae Yi‑ji (Im Se‑mi), his former girlfriend and the school's shooting coach, bringing emotional depth and unresolved tension to the storyline.
Includes the persistent rugby squad (Kim Ju‑yang, Do Hyeong‑sik, Kang Tae‑pung, and others), school principal Kang Jung‑hyo (Gil Hae‑yeon), plus teachers and students shaping the school’s world with heart and conflict.
A sports comedy–coming-of-age drama set in high school, centered around rugby, a rare theme in Korean dramas.
Written by Lim Jin‑a, winner of the SBS Cultural Foundation screenplay contest, and directed by Jang Young‑seok, known for “Taxi Driver 2”, with co-director Kim Jae‑hyun.
Rugby serves as a fresh backdrop for a story about teamwork, perseverance, and unconventional training methods.
A notable return for Yoon Kye‑sang to lead a Netflix drama, blending charisma with emotional nuance.
Themes of redemption, second chances, leadership challenges, and confronting past mistakes are central to the drama’s charm.
Released simultaneously on SBS and Netflix, this series enables live global engagement with the unfolding plot and fan community.
“The Winning Try” is an uplifting underdog story full of sports action, comedic charm, and emotional redemption. With strong chemistry between leads, a rare focus on rugby, and a message of healing through hard work, it strikes a winning chord for K-drama and sports fans alike.
Aired on SBS.
