It is expected that a large number of legends who have shone in the Korean basketball world will join MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Main's Haters', which will premiere on the 23rd, to provide reality and different fun reminiscent of a real professional basketball game.
The MBC drama 'Main Coach's Haters' is a two-man game comedy in which a professional basketball coach, who is on the verge of being kicked out due to poor performance, joins hands with his haters Hwajin for the team's performance. As the work is set in the professional basketball world, it is expected that a large number of all-time legends representing the Korean basketball world will participate to maximize immersion by adding weight and expertise to the work.
The most prominent figure is Woo Ji-won, who recently started his second career as an actor. He is active in various fields such as plays and musicals, expanding his career from a former basketball player to an actor, and decomposing into the coach of the professional basketball team 'Eight' to show stable and natural acting. Expectations are high for the performance of actor Woo Ji-won, who will bring the character to life based on his experience on the court.

A luxury duo who was in charge of broadcasting professional basketball this season will also join. Moon Kyung-eun and veteran sportscaster Jung Yong-gum also appeared as commentators and casters in 「Coach Maeng's Haters」, respectively, increasing the immersion of the play with the sense of reality as if they were watching a real broadcast.
Yang Dong-geun, a seven-time KBL MVP, and Cho Sung-min, a legendary guard who has won a total of seven KBL MVPs, are the coaches and coaches of 'Flash'. The two drew admiration from the production team by perfectly digesting the lines without any NG. Eun Hee-seok served as an advisor to the film and led the overall game tactics and training, not only playing a key role in raising the reality of the drama, but also made a special appearance as the director of Just.
In this way, 'Main Coach's Haters' will portray the professional basketball world more realistically and excitingly through active participation and support of real basketball players. It is expected that the legends, who have written the history of the basketball world in their respective positions, will revitalize the play and their performance, which will provide richer attractions, will be another point of view to watch the drama.
MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Director Maeng's Haters' will meet with viewers on May 23 and 24.
