[Drama 2019-2020] Stove League, 스토브리그

[millicom]

I think they will definitely not trade KDK with LDY.  LDY is not much of an asset right now because of the 72 game suspension and his gambling scandal.  The preview suggests that they are looking at other players to trade for him but it seems like another team is also interested, maybe the Pelicans?  I think the ending scene where LSY asked KDK a difficult question, the question is if he would be willing to be on the same team with LDY.  Remember part of his original condition to be traded back to dreams if not to work with LDY

The person walking at the end looks like the coach  

[Banana]

well... Im DongGyu and Kang DuGi are nowhere near retirement age, so... there are always chances in the future that they might play together under Dreams again. 

 

That's if Dreams hasn't disbanded.

I disagree. 

 

Im DongGyu is a fantastic player even if he can't play half the season and is worth the Kang DuGi trade for Dreams at the moment. In fact, he might be able to coach the other batters while on the bench, if his new attitude permits. The gambling scandal doesn't even factor into the game, just like Robert's "army evasion" scandal does not matter. 

 

Dreams has settled their pitchers (very well), their catcher is an ace, and their defence is now solid. It time for them to focus on building up the offence - batting. 

 

I say Kang DuGi might be traded back only because I don't see anyone else from Dreams that Vikings might be interested in at all. 

[Latte_Anyday]

Ep. 13 was retrospective as we get to see a nicer Dong Gyu, well..before he turned into a thug he is now. But that's changed as he's ready to start anew.. he may not have dabbled into drugs but he gambled. Which isn't awful imo but in S.K. everything's taken seriously. His friendship with Doo Ki is pretty heartwarming.

     Phew. That's a relief that the Dreams are cleared but poor Vikings manager LoL. 5 , no 6 players are suspended(?) That jerkface CEO! I so want to punch those glasses off his face.     

[Edgar Pordwed]

Can someone please clarify the issue with the guest list for ceremonial pitchers and how the previous CEO was replaced by Kwon Kyung-min in Episode 12? Didn't get that part. 

 

I also really hope both Kang Doo-ki and Lim Dong-hyu can play for Dreams. I really liked this episode.

Park Eun Bin And Namgoong Min Caught In An Awkward Situation In “Stove League”

Drama Preview

Feb 6, 2020

by L. Kim

“Stove League” has released new stills of an awkward moment between Park Eun Bin and Namgoong Min!

On February 6, SBS released photos of Baek Seung Soo (Namgoong Min) and Lee Se Young (Park Eun Bin) in the middle of a meeting.

Baek Seung Soo looks frozen, as if her comment hit the mark, and Lee Se Young seems intent on reading his expression. The images draw curiosity about the unusual sign that Lee Se Young picked up on about Baek Seung Soo. The duo, who got a step closer to each other, can be seen trapped in an awkward moment.

The production crew said, “Namgoong Min and Park Eun Bin are the main pillars of ‘Stove League’ and have contributed to the consistent flow of the story. Unimaginable developments will take place in the remaining episodes.”

Uh... well. I expected Kang DuGi to be traded... but NOT like this! And not to there!

 

This show throws some real good curveballs.

 

Ah, my DuGi-DongGyu heartbreak.

Basically was an excuse for Kwon to replace him by making an issue out of ex-CEO not doing a proper job of getting sales revenue by inviting celebrities to attract fans to watch and instead was exchanging those first pitches for money.

 I was shocked. Really. When everything seems to be resolved in this episode, the news of Kang Doo ki transfer to the Titan came so sudden. I so want to see the Dreams win the championship now more than ever because I wish Kwon to not succeed in his plan. So many problems for Dreams and Seung Soo.

 

I should have known that when we have scenes like this in the beggining, things won`t end well.

 

 

Two more episodes. WOW. Time flies.

 

 

[yoeda]

Why I got  the feeling that Coach agreed to the trade so Manager BSS could stay? Look like Director Kwon know that BSS doesn't care if he got sacked if Dream can keep Kang Doo Ki so he throw another ball to Coach. It's kinda out of character for him to selfishly agreed without concrete reason.

 

 

Cant help but laugh about this.

3 Things To Watch For As “Stove League” Comes To An End

TV/Film

Feb 9, 2020

by L. Kim

With only one episode left until the end, SBS’s “Stove League” is keeping its viewers at the edge of their seats by showcasing an exciting story with refreshing scenes.

“Stove League” tells the story of the management team behind Dreams, a professional baseball team that has placed last in its league for several years. The team receives a shakeup in the form of Baek Seung Soo (Namgoong Min), an unconventional general manager, who revitalizes the passion of longtime manager Lee Se Young (Park Eun Bin).

Spoilers

While the tension heightens even more as each episode features a shocking twist, here are three key questions that will be answered in the last episodes of the drama:

1. Can Kang Doo Ki (Ha Do Kwon) come back?

In episode 14, Baek Seung Soo managed to win the Im Dong Kyu (Jo Han Sun) trade with a proposal that fully grasped the needs of the Vikings’ leader Kim Jong Moo (Lee Dae Yeon). However, his team was put in a difficult situation as the approval of Kwon Kyung Min (Oh Jung Se) was delayed due to Im Dong Kyu’s high salary. Im Mi Sun (Kim Soo Jin), the head of the marketing team who found out about this, signed an advertising contract that made her a whopping 1 billion won (approximately $837,900) in surplus, which allowed them to get the final approval to recruit Im Dong Kyu.

I'M SO GONNA MISS THEM;;;;; 

This last ep was an extra emotional one for me. I was proud when CEO Kwon was back to his sense by buying the time before disbandment (and by "knocking" some sense to his cousin lol). I was in awe when BSS and LSY doing pt before (the handsome) CEO Lee even if they got to his personal touch haha. I was smiling when LSY said "manse!!!" and all the staff chanting "Dreams!". I was teary when LSY told BSS her regret for not being able to protect him and him sitting there looking down the field all holding back his tears and lost for the team (that facial expression just wow! NGM was pulling at my heartstring;;;). I laughed when Pengsoo appear and making fool of the players haha. I was surprised when CEO Kwon actually recommend BSS to other team, like they reminded me of Tom and Jerry haha. 

 

Thank you for a great show Stove League! 

I need to find new one to fill up my weekend watch;;;;;

“Stove League” Comments On Possibility Of Drama Returning For 2nd Season

TV/Film

Feb 15, 2020

by E. Cha

The producers of SBS’s “Stove League” have commented on the possibility of a second season!

The hit drama starring Namgoong Min ended with a bang on February 14, scoring its highest viewership ratings yet during its finale.

On February 15, the producers of the drama revealed that though nothing has yet been set in stone, there is a strong chance that “Stove League” will return for another season—and that many of its cast members have expressed their desire to participate.

“We don’t have any news about Season 2 yet,” the producers stated, “but the actors have said, ‘We want to do a Season 2.’ Because the writer would have to prepare more [for a second season], we don’t know exactly when Season 2 would premiere.”

They went on, “Because the actors had such great chemistry, and because the atmosphere on set was wonderful, most of the cast have said that they would want to participate if we ended up doing a Season 2. As each of the actors was very satisfied with his or her roles, they’d most likely have a positive reaction to [the news of a] Season 2, but we haven’t formally discussed anything.”

I love this drama. From start to end, it did not disappoint and every episode was a thrilling watch for me. Episode 9 was a special favorite of mine.  Simple but oh so emotional.  Although it ended with all conflicts resolved, I still want more.  Season 2 please? 

To the writers, the actors, the director and to all people who worked hard to bring us this wonderful show, my deepest appreciation and thanks

[yoeda]

Just waiting for another hour for episode with sub. We just shy away for 20% huh. But it's ok. For the underdog drama like this. This drama kind of breath for fresh air, engaging and heartfelt. on the side note, I can't say i like the new color much, coz its kind of common. The old color look more fresh and eye catching also different. I think people should take note that not every hero wore a red color and not every villain wore green.
