Synopsis
Benched prodigy joins winless high-school team, forging underdogs into contenders through grit and determination.
Jingeon had big dreams when he entered one of the most prestigious basketball high schools in the country. But instead of shining on the court, he finds himself stuck on the bench, watching his friend dominate as the team's star player. Frustrated but unable to abandon his love for basketball, Jingeon makes a tough decision: he transfers to Siun High School. The problem? Siun High's basketball team is barely holding together. Despite being founded just two years ago, they have lost all seventeen of their matches. But sometimes, greatness isn't born from talent—it's forged through sweat, grit, and relentless determination. For Jingeon and his new teammates, this underdog journey is about to become their greatest challenge yet. The real game starts now. (Source: Utoon, edited)
