Hello,

I'm looking for shows which revolve around some kinds of sports. (be it motorsport, team sport or whatever) It should also be the main topic. Looking at anime, I have Initial D, Slam Dunk, Captain Tsubasa or Haikyu in mind. It's OK if there are some other subplots like romance, friendship or coming of age, but it shouldn't be just the background for some kind of love story or something like that.

Do you have any further recommendation for me? Korean or Japanese are both fine.


I know about the following shows:

This is the right direction:

- As One (K-Movie, 2012)


This was somehow OK but I needs much more to satisfy my wish:

- Fight for my Way (K-Drama, 2017) 

- Hana Kimi (J-Drama, 2007)

- Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (K-Drama, 2017) I don't remember this will. I think it would be sorted into this category, since the romance stuff is pretty omnipresent.


This was disappointing:

- Cheer Up (K-Drama, 2022)

- Run On (K-Drama, 2020)


This, I didn't watch yet:

- Dream (K-Movie, 2023)

Like Flowers in Sand - traditional Korean wrestling sport of ssireum

Thanks! I will have a look :) Are fights shown there? 

Rebound

Pride but i watched it many years ago so i dont remember the sports/romance ratio

Twenty-Five Twenty-One 

Ok thanks y'all! I think I have enough for the moment, but I won't hinder you if you still have THE one secret top show in your sleeve and want to share it. ;)
