MBC-TV's new Friday-Saturday drama "Your Ground" (written by Hwang Hae-yeon, directed by Lee Sang-yeop and Kang Chae-won) is a ground healing romance. It depicts the story of baseball player Kang Hae-hwan meeting Seo Heeseung, an agent with a background in law, and pursuing his dreams once again.
Director Lee Sang-yeop, who has directed the "Yumi's Cells" series as well as "My Youth," "Half of Half," "Knowing Wife," and "The Shopping King Louis," took the helm. Emerging writer Hwang Hae-yeon joined forces with him.

Director Lee Sang-yeop conveyed his resolve at the script reading, saying, "I hope we make a hot and thrilling drama well." The actors also revealed their affection and passion for their respective characters as they set out.
Han Hyo-joo perfectly immersed herself in the role of Seo Heeseung, who transforms from an ace lawyer at a major law firm to a professional baseball agent. She confidently expressed the aspect of an undefeated lawyer who does not allow even a single loss.
Gong Myung transformed into Kang Hae-hwan, a right-handed pitcher for the professional baseball team Miracles. He delicately portrayed the winding narrative of a talented pitcher who once dominated baseball.
In particular, by exchanging subtle emotional lines with Seo Heeseung, his first love whom he reunites with after 11 years, he added anticipation for romance.
Sung Jun played Yun Yi-seok, Kang Hae-hwan's rival and a pitcher for the Miracles. Yi-seok has never beaten Kang Hae-hwan. He is the person who rose to team ace while Kang Hae-hwan was away from the mound.
Sung Jun multidimensionally depicted Yun Yi-seok's competitive spirit and complex emotions toward Kang Hae-hwan. Kim Shin-rok plays super agent Dong Chi-young.
Chi-young held the center by expressing the charisma of a seasoned agent who leads negotiations between the team and players through weighty acting.

The production team said, "From the first reading, the actors showed a perfect ensemble as if they had been coordinating as one team for a long time. Thanks to this, vibrant energy overflowed throughout the set." They added, "It is not simply a drama with baseball as subject matter. It is a story of people who struggle and rise again on the ground called their own lives. We ask for much anticipation and interest."
