uiscerosSo 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."
Seriously, you've got;
Jerry Yan
(I'm quite fond of that pun there; SpeSHOW (Alan also goes by Show Luo))
Anyway... You've got some pretty hot guys there. And they play basketball. I'm surprised Mike He wasn't in this (Mike He is ALWAYS playing basketball, in like, every drama he's in). He was probably filming Infernal Lover...
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
Shots of Alan being ridiculous. As per usual.
Alan did have some serious scenes too
(Alan's little friend died while trying to help him. Of course she got hit by a truck. Getting hit by a truck is the preferred way of dying in twdramas.)
Jerry Yan being beautiful. *sigh*
Jerry and Alan. Oh the tension!
(Jerry and Alan looked like they were going to kiss in this shot)
Wu Zun and George Hu. BAD GUYS!
The girls of Hot Shot are gorgeous as well
Interestingly, I guess Alan and Wu Zun became pretty good friends in RL. They joke about dating each other, and I found this set of lovely shots;
In my attempts to find good Wu Zun pictures for this post, I found these.
The first made me go "Awwwwww!"
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.

The second made me go "WOOOOOOOOOOOOW", and proceed to stare at the computer screen for like, 5 minutes slackjawed. Wu Zun, can I have you? PLEASE?!
