First, Heo Seung-il in the play is the existing ace pitcher of the Deokcheon High School baseball team, who has built his skills through constant training and effort. Cha Bin revealed Heo Seung-il's passion and determination for baseball with a serious gaze.Han Si-hyun plays Cha Tae-hoon, a genius pitcher with excellent physical senses and innate talent, despite lacking baseball experience. Cha Tae-hoon's appearance on the mound in uniform in the stills and his relaxed expression show a different atmosphere from Heo Seung-il.The two actors' real baseball experience also draws attention. Cha Bin played baseball from the 3rd grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of high school, playing as both a pitcher and a hitter until middle school, and then as a pitcher from high school. Han Si-hyun also played as a pitcher for 12 years from the 3rd grade of elementary school to the 2nd grade of college. Therefore, the pitcher performances by the two actors with real player experience are also a point to watch.The production team said, "If Heo Seung-il is a character who has steadily built his skills through constant effort, Cha Tae-hoon is a character who shows new possibilities with his innate talent," and added, "Please watch the journey of these two youths who change and grow between competition and friendship beyond a simple match."'Gift', planned as a total of 12 episodes, will premiere on December 5th at 9:10 PM.sstar1204@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
