Synopsis
Racket Boys is a heartwarming coming-of-age sports drama that follows the journey of a struggling middle school badminton team in the rural village of Ttangkkeut, Haenam.
The story begins when Yoon Hyeon-jong, a former badminton player facing financial hardship, relocates his family from Seoul to coach the school’s underfunded and nearly defunct badminton club. His son, Yoon Hae-kang, a former badminton prodigy turned baseball enthusiast, reluctantly joins the team to help them meet the minimum player requirement.
Alongside teammates Bang Yoon-dam, Na Woo-chan, and Lee Yong-tae, the boys face numerous challenges: lack of resources, personal insecurities, and fierce competition from better-equipped teams.
As they train for national tournaments, they form deep friendships, learn the value of teamwork, and grow both as athletes and individuals. The series also highlights the parallel journey of a girls’ badminton team, led by star player Han Se-yoon, weaving in themes of family, ambition, and rural community life.
