In the 8th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 「Tri: We Become a Miracle」, which aired on the 16th, Joo Kyung-ram (Yoon Gye-sang) and rugby team members threw themselves for Moon Woong (Kim Dan), giving a deep impression. The broadcast continued its upward trend with 7.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, 6.8% nationwide, and 8.8% (based on Nielsen Korea) with the highest ratings.
Moon Woong confessed his fear of a tackle during the presidential match against Daesang High School, and the rugby department chose a strategy to fill Woong's gap, but eventually lost by two points. Despite the defeat, the rugby team encouraged Woong and chanted `Even though I lost, I feel like I won.'
In the process, Woong's alleged school violence spread online and faced a crisis, but captain Yoon Sung-joon (Kim Yo-han) knelt down and revealed that it was not true, so he overcame the crisis. In the end, Ung overcame his fears under Ju-ram's harsh guidance and succeeded in his first tackle, completing a touching turnaround with the recognition of 'Finally a rugby player' by Garam.
Meanwhile, at the end of the play, Joo Ga-ram's severe symptoms of work history worsened, raising anxiety. On top of that, Bang Heung-nam (played by Jung Soon-won), who is aiming for the abolition of the rugby department, is depicted facing him in the room as if he noticed his condition, maximizing tension.
The story of the shooting department continued to explode. Director Jeon Nak-kyun (Cho Jae-ryong) tried to sacrifice Seo Woo-jin (Park Jeong-yeon) to push his daughter, Na Il-hyun (Seong Ji-young), the deputy superintendent of education, and after a fierce collision, Woo-jin was injured in the head and collapsed. Lim Semi, who appeared at this time, ended the 8th inning with a scene in which he pointed his gun at "Fall!"
'Tri' is a sports growth drama in which the eccentric coach Joo Ju-ram and the last-place Hanyang Sports High School rugby team are challenging to win the National Sports Festival. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. on SBS.
