Basketball (Hangul: 빠스껫 볼; RR: Ppaseukket Bol) is a 2013 South Korean television series starring Do Ji-han, Lee Elijah and Jung Dong-hyun. It aired on cable channel tvN from October 21 to December 31, 2013 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 23:00 for 18 episodes.
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.
