Description:

One Pound Gospel is an engaging sports drama that follows the story of Hatanaka Kosaku, a highly talented boxer who turned professional at just nineteen years old. Despite winning his debut match with an impressive first-round knockout, Kosaku struggles with a lack of determination and an uncontrollable appetite. His constant hunger makes it impossible for him to stay in the correct weight class, often leaving him completely drained of energy during fights or distracted by ringside food. However, everything changes when he encounters Sister Angela, a novice nun at a convent near his boxing gym. Deeply inspired by her, Kosaku finds a new source of power and motivation. He decides to reform his habits and dedicates his boxing career to winning her heart. This NTV drama beautifully captures his hilarious yet touching journey of self-discipline and love as he fights to prove himself inside and outside the ring.
