Actress Lee Joo-young is having a pretty good 2020, professionally. After impressing on the small screen in the important role of a transgender chef in the hugely popular K-Drama “Itaewon Class“, she will now feature in her first leading role in the upcoming sports drama “Baseball Girl” from first-time director Choi Yun-tae.
Synopsis
Joo Soo-in, who used to be called a genius baseball girl when she was in middle school, still boasts a level of skills in high school, but not as good as before. Lee Jeong-ho, who fell behind Joo Soo-in until the middle school has become the ace of the team and is receiving the love call from the professional teams. But Soo-in doesn’t want to quit baseball here. Rather, she is desperate to become the first female baseball player to join a professional club. Her new baseball coach Choi Jin-tae and her friend Jungho will be her assistants.
Joining her will be Lee Joon-hyuk (“No Mercy“) and Yum Hye-ran (“Way Back Home“). It releases in South Korean cinemas in June, 2020.
