Hot Stove League

스토브리그 ‧ Drama ‧ 2019 - 2020
I am going to go out on a limb here but these dramas both involving sports and are about building teams. They revolve around unfortunate circumstances and how the MLs overcome them with strong FLs.
Although the former is more gaming based the later involves more family, friendship, and work drama along with strong sports lingo in both (obviously specializing in ESports or Baseball)
I would give it a try !

Although it's not a legal drama it shows the same ML in a similar position where he is a maverick and does things on his own terms. Definitely worthy of a watch and he even mentions Hot Stove Love in one of the One Dollar Lawyer episodes with a cute, "I'm surprised there wasn't a second episode" quip

There is something so nostalgic and heartwarming about watching baseball flicks and shows, which is probably why “Stove League” really hits it home. The script also does a great job of drawing viewers in from the first minute of the series – apparently, a script based solely on a manager trying to better his baseball team can be very entertaining! The fact that it won Best Drama at the 2020 Baeksang Arts Awards proves just how much this drama shines

The female lead actor is one of the main support actors in Hot Stoove League. The show also has integrations of people with disabilities fitting into the workplace.

Whilst twenty-five twenty-one has more romance, both dramas are centred around sport (fencing, baseball) highlighting the struggles athletes face.

Same Male lead
Fighting corruption
Office politics
Honestly, any drama ranking 8 and above with this male lead is gold so I would suggest just clicking on his name and watching the dramas with him.

The ML from The Uncanny Counter is the SML in Hot Stove League. The drama is a sports melodrama where every episode the ML solves a different conflict in the baseball team "Dreams" which has been on the last rank since the past few years. The ML's dream is to bring "Dreams" on top again. The ML's performance was outstanding in that drama too.

Both are about baseball. While Our Baseball is a mini-series focusing on the struggle in everyday life and baseball, Hot Stove League is a drama focusing on the preparation season for a baseball season. Both have excellent OSTs and the stories/acting tug the heartstrings.

Both are heartfelt dramas about life in different workplaces. Incomplete Life is in an office setting while Hot Stove League focuses on off season of baseball. Both have great acting from the ensemble and also gives variety of feels and emotions.

Both dramas are related to sports, and a sort of rehabilitation, and sparking the passion for sports

Even though the genre is different (Stove League is about sports drama, while Life is about medical drama), the environment that surrounding the male lead is similar. Both of the male leads show less emotions (NGM & JSW) and not welcomed by their colleagues when they first joined the company/team. Both of them excel in their field, and through conflict that happen within the story, the colleagues starts to help the male leads. Both of the male leads are also supported by female lead with 'humanism' view and have a brother with disability.

Based on the world of sports, both dramas show struggling athletes/teams on the verge of giving up or retiring but then a new manager shows up and shakes things up for the best.

This movie is an inspirational underdog story, but the training the kids had to go through and the vibe of someone coming in and shaping up a ragtag team is similar. Nicely written and worth every minute to watch!

Mesma vibe, time perdedor onde ninguem da nada por eles, e chega um treinador fodão pra trasformar o time.

Same vibe, losing team where no one cares about them, and then a badass coach arrives to transform the team.
