When does Full Count air?

SBS announced on October 19 that its new Friday-Saturday drama Full Count has been scheduled for February 2027. The network said the show is preparing for its full launch.

What is Full Count about?

The drama follows people who risk everything in the pro baseball world, where the title of team manager is won through power plays and scheming. Its story focuses on survival and ambition on and off the field.

Who stars in Full Count?

Kim Rae-won plays Hwang Jin-ho, the acting manager of the popular team Stars, which is facing elimination from the autumn playoffs. Park Hoon plays Jo Dong-hee, the team's legendary pitcher and the top candidate for the next manager role.

Why is it being compared to Hot Stove League?

SBS's Hot Stove League in 2019 was a major hit and sparked a wave of interest in baseball dramas. Full Count is the network's first baseball drama in eight years, and its February slot falls outside the baseball season, which is expected to appeal to fans waiting for the league to open.

For international fans

Kim Rae-won is known for his long TV and film career, and Park Hoon has built a reputation across both drama and other platforms. Fans who enjoyed Hot Stove League may find the manager rivalry and locker-room politics familiar. Official air dates, platforms, and subtitle availability have not yet been announced.
