What is the K-drama all about?

The sports romantic drama ‘493km For You’ centers around a guy and a woman on a badminton works team who play mixed doubles. Park Ju-Hyun plays Park Tae Yang, a former ambitious Olympian who returns to the badminton court after a three-year break. Park Tae Joon is played by Chae Jong Hyeop, a member of the works team who solely sees the sport as a profession. He, like any other office worker, prefers to leave on time and have his weekends open. Additionally, other characters add spice to the series.
