Taiwanese Drama: Hot Shot


Description:
"In a school where academic reigns supreme and sports are relegated to a dusty corner of the campus, Li Ying vows to revive the basketball team by volunteering to be the head coach. Her first member is Yuan Da Ying, a country boy who is passionate for basketball but has no skill. Their recruitment goes into high gear when Dong Fang Xiang, a legendary basketball player, transfers to their school.

Around the same time, Yuan Da Ying falls for Zhan Jie Er, a scholarship student who reminds him of his childhood friend. Things are complicated by the fact her family works for Dong Fang Xiang, who she also grew up with. Their encounter may just rewrite the school's basketball history." *

It looks like a cross between Slam Dunk (anime) and Kung-Fu Dunk (live action movie) but with a twist of Taiwanese Drama. As of this writing, i've only seen one episode. It looks promising. What I like about it is the slapstick scenes on their thoughts that they would have done if not restricted. As with most dramas anywhere in the world this also has the love triangle thrown into it.
