"Imperfect Game" (aka how a boy group survival show randomly blessed us with a whole drama?!)
Okay, so what in the side quest is this?! Imagine tuning in for a typical boy group survival show and then suddenly—boom—they drop a full-on one-hour drama on us. And not just a drama, but a genuinely good and heartwarming one?? Love that for us.I gotta say, I started watching Debut's Plan when it first aired but kinda fell off...until I heard they were making a drama out of it. And honestly? Best decision ever to binge catch up because now I'm obsessed with both the survival show and this chaotic baseball squad.
The story's about a group of teenage boys chasing their dream of winning a baseball tournament—and of course, facing a big ol' crisis along the way (because what’s youth without a little disaster, right?).
Main boy Seo Jun Gi transfers to Woojoo High just for the (now disbanded) baseball club. He tries to recruit Han Il, the local baseball legend, and Han Il ropes in his childhood friend Baek Hoon and the newbie Seo Woo Bin.
Cue: emotional childhood friendships, jealousy arcs, and just a tiny sprinkle of suspiciously BL-coded moments. I mean… Back Hoon getting jealous of his bestie Han Il bonding with Seo Woo Bin? That tension?? I'm just saying.
Then we get the rest of the squad:
Jaehyuk: dropped baseball to support his little sibling after their parents passed (literal angel).
Otani Choi: the Japanese transfer student (and lowkey comic relief king).
Seon Ho: the perfect student whose secret love for baseball makes his strict parents go absolutely feral.
And other baseball team members.
I absolutely adored Seon ho and Jun gi friendship, wished there was more of this duo.
Despite being a random spin-off of a survival show, Imperfect Game managed to be a genuinely cute, touching, funny and surprisingly well-acted youth drama. The 7 main cast members (aka the trainees) killed it, and even the other 14 contestants got their little moments to shine as extras and side characters.
The upcoming group from Debut plan lore is going to hit hard in the future with this lol.
Honestly, even if I wasn't a little biased because I’m already rooting for these trainees, this drama would still hit.
Objective rating? 8.5/10.
Biased, heart-eyes, emotionally attached rating? 9/10.
Would 100% recommend if you’re in the mood for something sweet, inspiring, and a little chaotic (in the best way).
