Our Baseball (2019)

Life, the wonders, the mystery, the pains to be forgotten, in a Baseball format

'Our Baseball' is a wonderfully produced, acted and written sports (miniseries) drama that showcases life on this world, the wonders, the mystery, the pains to be forgotten, in a baseball format. It is one of the strongest sports dramas I have ever watched and I think everyone, no matter if they are a baseball fan or not, would love this. It had a near-perfect balance of sports and story, and the fact that each episode mainly focused on a different player in the team made it always an interesting and unpredictable watch. The different dynamics of people and their everyday lives, whether they feel lost or abandoned in society, all make for a great message that there will always be someone going through something similar, even in the same community as you (in this case, baseball team).

Each episode is quite short but there will always be the right amount of story in each one. The OST here was quite non-existent but played its' part well when needed too, which I personally think is the most important role of an OST: to not 'take over', but to 'add'.

All in all, this is a definite recommendation to watch, even if you're not much of a sports fan! I think everyone will love 'Our Baseball', perhaps even more than I enjoyed it!

So, what are you waiting for now? Watch it!

"Between life and baseball, we’re trying our best."

This was such a beautiful masterpiece of a webseries! This is my first time giving an overall 10 rating to a mini-series!

Story: The story was simple yet amazing. Each episode focused on a character and his/her struggles between life and baseball. You can't help but get attached to the team and the players. The details in correlating baseball terminologies with the struggles in everyday life was very well done and touching. I cried a lot of tears: from pure joy to heart wrenching sadness. The story flow was excellent for a mini-series and it left me wanting more or to have this adapted into a drama.

Acting/Cast: All of them were great. I like the lead narrating every episode, Kim Kyung Shik. I've seen the actor, Lee Jong Won, in Unfamiliar Family but he was a side character there. In this mini-series, he showed range and showed capability in being the main lead in a series. All of them acted amazingly as I also felt the emotions they were displaying during the episodes. I really really want this cast to have a drama out of this.

Music: 100 out of 100! All their osts and music were just magical and fit right the feels! I ended up adding like more than 10 songs in my spotify playlist because of this series!

Rewatch: I am not the type to rewatch much but I would love to watch this again.
