Mental Coach Jegal - Season 1 (2022)

Jegal Gil, who is well known for his tenacious and eccentric nature, used to be an athlete on the national taekwondo team until he got banned for causing an unprecedented incident within the Taereung Training Center. He eventually returns to the training center, but this time as a mental coach instead of an athlete with the sole purpose of lending a helping hand to those who are on the verge of self-destruction. On the outside, he may seem happy-go-lucky, but inside he also has his own scars left from the past. At the age of 9, Cha Ga Eul was selected by one of the coaches, and 10 years was all she needed to become a world championship gold medalist as a short-track speed skater. However, it was impossible even for her to avoid the slump, and for the last 4 consecutive years, she struggled but failed to list herself on the national team. That’s when Jegal Gil shows up, introducing himself as a friend of Ga Eul’s brother. To her, he doesn’t look too normal, but she thinks there is nothing to lose to have a mental coach by her side in her worst stage of life.
