KUALA LUMPUR – On April 20, fans of Korean drama and competitive sports will come together in celebration of Going to You at a Speed of 493km – the latest K-drama to stream on Disney+ Hotstar. 

Starring Park Ju Hyun (Piece of Your Mind, Extracurricular) and Chae Jong Hyeop (Hot Stove League, Sisyphus: The Myth), this 16-part romantic drama centres around a story of love and redemption as a former badminton great tries to reclaim her standing while also dealing with her less-than-impressive mixed doubles partner.

After mysteriously disappearing from the world of high-level competitive badminton for three years, Park Taeyang (Park Ju Hyun) suddenly reappears, stepping onto the court with her mixed doubles partner Park Taejoon (Chae Jong Hyeop). 

Polar opposites in almost every way, Taeyang is driven to consistently go the extra mile in the hope of reclaiming her prestigious standing as a gold medal-level competitor, while Taejoon hates work and views badminton as just another job. 

Despite their differences, the duo prove to be a formidable force on the court, and as they continue training together, romantic feelings begin to emerge.

Written by Huh Seong-hye and directed by Joe Woong and Gu Seong-jun, begin streaming this sporty new series from tomorrow (April 20), only on Disney+ Hotstar. – The Vibes, April 19, 2022
