The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 12 times at 7 cinemas across 7 districts, from HK$85 to HK$130 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at Emperor Cinemas Tuen Mun (Sun Tuen Mun Centre) in Tuen Mun, HK$85. 88 minutes.

What it is about

A pitcher who can't throw strikes and his unlikely manager form a heartfelt bond.

What to expect

A Korean pitcher who has lost the strike zone and the manager who takes a chance on him — that is the setup, and the movie spends its 88 minutes on the quiet, stubborn work of rebuilding trust. Adapted from a web series, it leans into character over spectacle: long silences, small gestures, the rhythm of the bullpen. The emotional register is earnest rather than rousing, so it suits viewers who prefer a slow-burn bond to a sports-action highlight reel. In Hong Kong it opens 22 October 2026, playing seven cinemas across seven districts with 12 screenings in the coming week. Tickets from HK$85. Korean audio, English and Chinese subtitles.
