In the second episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama `Tri" (played by Lim Jin-ah, directed by Jang Young-seok), the first match between the new director Joo Kyung-ram (Yoon Gye-sang) and seven rugby teams exploded their excessive immersion. From the change in the relationship between Garam and rugby team captain Yoon Sung-joon (Kim Yo-han), who gradually breaks down each other's walls, he played the first rugby game that made viewers' hearts chew, giving them a thrilling thrill.
On this day, 'Tri' raised tensions as the vote on Joo Gi-ram's dismissal proposal began. Sung-joon vowed to still vote for the dismissal of Garam, unlike the members of the rugby department who changed favorably, and intensified anxiety by strongly approving the dismissal of Ju Ji-ram, as well as the three members of the rugby department, Vice-principal Sung Jong-man (Kim Min-sang), the shooting department head coach Jeon Nak-kyun (Lee Sung-wook), and the aerobics head coach Bang Heung-nam (Jeong Soon-won).
However, as a result of the vote, a reversal occurred in which the dismissal proposal was canceled by 22 to 22. As it turned out, managers in other sports, including Heungnam, were worried that they would take over the rugby department and sought to oppose the dismissal. Jongman piqued the curiosity by leaving a meaningful remark to Nak-kyun, who was very angry, that he would find a way to abolish the rugby club. Izzy visited Garam, who was excited about the coach's stay, and thought "Why did he leave me like that?" But now I don't want to ask anything. "Let's break up, Joo Joo-ram..." he said, causing regret by announcing the breakup.
Meanwhile, Garam agreed to a match against Daesang High School, who had never won a match for the rugby team's first match, raising interest. In response to Sungjun's protest, Garam "Learn to lose wellHe replied nonchalantly, and Sung-jun left the practice field with a super-strong throw saying, `I don't want to learn how to lose.' However, the only thing waiting for Sung-jun who ran away was an empty house. Sung-jun couldn't hide his empty heart because of people who mistook him for his twin brother Yoon Seok-jun (Kim Yo-han) and his mother who followed his younger brother abroad without saying a word.
It was Garam who visited Sungjun, who was left alone. Garam visited Sung-jun's house and "The director is here. I'm here to find a player in good condition" caused laughter with the extraordinary madness that shouted out loud. Garam said "As you said, I ruined my career by myself, but since I've done it, I won't let you ruin it like I did. I don't know the right way, but I can avoid the wrong way because I've been there. I'll make you look like me,' he said, showing his sincerity in even handing his shoes to Sung-joon, who was wearing rugby shoes, making viewers emotional.
Ju Ji-ram and the rugby department, who accepted each other, began to put together as coaches and players for the first time. Garam went all out analyzing all the video clips of the game, and the players threw their whole body in line with Garam's harsh training plan. The first game is finally here. Jongman secretly called out Sung-jun and suggested boycotting the game, citing his Achilles tendon, college recommendation letter and younger brother Seok-jun, but was unsuccessful due to Garam's interference after noticing this.
At the end of the play, Garam's first directorial debut finally took place. Hanyang Sports High School's rugby department, which scored a goal in 50 seconds, became increasingly tired of the still sluggish game. Half-time with a score of 35:0. Garam said "Let's play real rugby from now on" and "You don't have to score. In the second half, we fight to keep our guard," he said, reversing the atmosphere of the game by shifting his posture to a new operation.
In the second half, Hanyang Sports High School's rugby department played defense with all its might according to the operation that has been in line with Garam, and quickly changed the trend with an iron wall defense that did not yield a single point. "Now we have a winning second half," Garam said, raising the number of heartbeats of those who are disclosing their strategy for a try (score) to the highest level. Not long before the end, the rugby team players played with all their might, recalling Garam's strategy, and finally Sung-jun succeeded in his first try and the game ended, giving a thrilling thrill. At this point "Rugby is not an outcome, but a process of attempt and challenge. With Garam's narration, "The process of not giving in to the obstacles in front of him and the process of not giving in to the oncoming tackle at every moment," Sung-jun's ceremony and Garam's ceremony in the Asian Cup final were intersected, causing emotional emotion.
Meanwhile, in the epilogue, Garam found out that first-year ace Kang Tae-pung (Cho Hang-yeol) was offered a transfer. While Garam's sincere advice to the typhoon was touching, the crisis of Hanyang Sports High School's rugby department, which caused a shortage of players due to the typhoon's decision to withdraw, intensified questions about whether the rugby department could overcome the difficulty.
In this way, episode 2 of 'Tri' offered hope by vividly showing Garam and seven rugby teams taking the first steps to become true coaches and players. Garam's sincerity and dramatic reversal in the first game by breaking down the wall with Sung-jun, who managed to overcome the crisis of dismissal, raised expectations for their teamwork and growth drama in the future. In particular, attention is being paid to the unpredictable chemistry and exciting game that the rugby department will create with new coach Garam, who is properly equipped with a stick.
'Tri', which aired on this day, began to rise with the highest ratings of 6.3%, the metropolitan area of 4.8%, and the nation of 4.4%, heralding a strong sensation in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama. (Nilson Korea)
