Hot Shot: A show about beautiful guys. And basketball. But mostly beautiful guys.

So Hot Shot is basically totally eyecandy. It's like the producers were like "What's a good idea for a new show... you know what would be great? Let's just put five of the hottest actors in Taiwan in a show about sweaty boys playing sports! That'll work."

So yes. This is quite enjoyable. I've only watched the first episode so far, but it was adorable, and hilarious. They're doing that awesome Taiwanese/Chinese thing where they highly exaggerate movements. If they're fighting/playing basketball/whatever, it's wuxia style with lots of huge jumps, slow motion, and totally impossible movements. At first I found this style kinda ridiculous (I first saw it in another George Hu drama; Love At First Fight), but I like it now. It's uniquely Chinese.

This drama is worth watching for Alan alone. Alan is like, the funniest shit to ever come out of Taiwan ever. The faces he makes are hilarious. Wu Zun and George Hu are awesome as bad guys. The fight/chase scenes are pretty hot too. I haven't seen Michael yet. The girls are lovely too. Especially Coco Jiang, who is statuesque and beautiful beyond belief.

Also, one of the high points of this drama is the commercial insert; they have the basketball teams DANCING. Alan is a fabulous dancer. Jerry and Wu Zun, who have had many many years of practice from being in boybands are pretty damn good too.

The one thing I wasn't happy about; Hot Shot isn't subtitled in Chinese. I feel lost without the Chinese subs.


A trifecta of hotness

( Anyway, small picspam from episode 1 )

( BONUS: Alan and Wu Zun attempting to make out )

( SUPER SPECIAL BONUS: Wu Zun. Being hot. )

I also just found out that Na Wei Xun (Fated to Love You, Prince Turns to Frog, etc), Gong Ji An (Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu), and Huang Tai An (Mars, A Game About Love, Fated to Love You) are in it. I love character actors, and seeing them in various dramas makes me happy.

It's been awhile since I've watched a twdrama. I forget just how amazing they are sometimes.

OMG Shun-kun IS ACTUALLY TALKING (In Densha Otoko)! I was so excited I had to stop everything and fangirl about it/him.

I'm still in the middle of the episode, but.... Random Shun picture!


In the last episode (and 1/3rd of this episode) I've taken 88 screenshots of Shun alone. Out of 124 total screenshots for the episode + 1/3. I freaking LOVE him.
