New Drama!
Historical, Romance and BASKETBALL!
That's right down my alley.
It started today, it's loosely based on the 1948 Unified Korean Basketball team that made the quarters in London. The only ever unified Korean team of any kind (in 1936 they competed for Japan and by 1952 they had split in two)

Quote:
Basketball (Hangul: 빠스껫 볼; RR: Bbaseukket Bol) is an upcoming South Korean television series starring Do Ji-han, Lee Elijah and Jung Dong-hyun.
Set during the turbulent years of the Japanese occupation until independence, and a few years before the division of Korea into North and South, the story is about the first and last time that Korea had a single, unified national basketball team, which made history by advancing to the quarterfinals of the 1948 London Olympics. The drama follows the loves, conflicts, unity, and emotional victory of young athletes who cling to the sport as the bright spot in the darkness of their times.

The show will air every Monday and Tuesday night in Korea for 12 weeks.
Here's the trailer. I couldn't find a subtitled one but you can pretty much guess what's going on.
Anyone going to watch with me?
