Major (chinese) League

Well I'm not comparing this to the Charlie Sheen movie, but I thought this would be a fun summary line. I hope no one is offended or led to the wrong conclusion. Which only could happen, if you didn't read on. Having said all that, this is a story about outsiders. Fish out of water, people overcoming odds and however else you want to call the underdogs here.

So while it will have quite a few "cliches" in it, the overall ark is still interesting to watch and there is tension overall. Not to mention some fun you can have along the way (again not a comedy, rather a drama with some fun moments). Nicely played and acted - if that sounds like something you can enjoy that is.
