Synopsis
The Dreams are a Korean professional baseball team that have placed last in the league for the past four seasons. When their general manager steps down, the team hires Baek Seung-soo, who has managed several championship winning sports teams, as his replacement, despite Seung-soo having zero experience with managing a baseball team. Facing shrinking budgets, infighting between the coaching staff and a team deeply set in their ways, Seung-soo uses his outsider s insight and the help of operations manager Se-young and Jae-hee to upend the Dreams culture in a bid to create a championship winning team, despite the looming fact that every team he has managed before has folded after winning the championship.
SINGAPORE - In the South Korean drama Awaken, a string of mysterious incidents occur, prompting a National Police Agency special task force, led by the eccentric, ingenious Do Jung-woo (Namgoong Min), to look into a tragedy that happened in an unusual village nearly 30 years ago.
Here are five things to know about the new drama.
1. No easy fight
Training for the fighting scenes was no easy feat. To prepare for her role as a police officer, Seolhyun from girl group AOA, 26, attended classes in an action school two months prior to the filming.
For a specific fighting scene, Namgoong, 42, had to take two days to practise and coordinate with actor Yoo Ha-joon, hitting and blocking one another while wearing protective gear.
