Bull Fighting (Chinese: 鬥牛，要不要; pinyin: Dou Niu, Yao Bu Yao?; literally: "Do you want a bull-fight") is a 2007 Taiwanese drama starring Mike He, Hebe Tien, and Lee Wei. The series was broadcast on free-to-air Taiwan Television (TTV) (台視) from 18 November 2007 to 9 March 2008, on Sunday at 22:00 and cable TV Sanlih E-Television (SET) (三立電視) from 24 November 2007 to 15 March 2008, on Saturday at 21:00. The word 鬥牛 in this context actually means street basketball.
A basketball match held every year for the winning team to dominate the court and a girl who has fond memories of Trio, the side she supports. Sounds perfectly normal except that there is a story behind her preference. When she was little, Yi Sheng Xue was chased by a few hoodlums and found herself running to the 13th Street Basketball Court for safety. The players representing Trio, then, noticed what was happening and saved her from the thugs. Due to this incident, Sheng Xue developed a fondness for the Trio team and rooted for its players every year since then. The boys, reigning champions for nine years, finally met their match and nobody could have been more disappointed than Sheng Xue. This year, three young men from the East Sun College represented Trio. They were childhood friends and the rich, arrogant sons of important people. The leader, Sheng Rou He, encountered Sheng Xue and her bodyguards in a car accident on his way to the match, causing a rift between him and her men. Little did Sheng Xue realize that her childhood confidante and the leader of the bumbling bodyguards, Jin Zi Cong, had deflated Rou He's tires. He also left a hole in the Trio captain's bag, causing him to be late for the match. As a result, Rou struggled to beat the opposing team wearing small shoes. Alas, Trio lost. The feisty Sheng Xue, daughter of a former triad leader, vowed revenge against Rou He and admitted herself in his college, apprehending him whenever possible. Meanwhile, Rou He shares a strained relationship with his father, a powerful businessman who plans to obtain the deed to the 13th Street. Rou He's past affair with his ex-girlfriend who left him due to his obsession with his father's work and a blind date arranged by his side to secure the deed meant that Rou He had no choice but to fake a relationship with Sheng Xue since 13th Street rightly belongs to her family.
