2000 Taiwanese TV show From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spicy Teacher (simplified Chinese: 麻辣鲜师; traditional Chinese: 麻辣鮮師; pinyin: málà xiānshī; lit. 'mala fresh teacher') is a 2000 Taiwanese drama starring William Hsieh, Ye Min-Zhi, Jade Chia, Jean Kuo, Tu Shih-Mei. It is the first school life comedy in Taiwanese television, inspired by the Japanese manga series Great Teacher Onizuka (グレート・ティーチャー・オニヅカ, Gurēto Tīchā Onizuka) by Tooru Fujisawa. It is the longest broadcast school life comedy and the school life comedy series with the most episodes in Taiwan. It became the television show with the most re-runs in Taiwan.[1] Since it is a light comedy set in high school, it became a popular show for new actors with little prior acting experience to start their careers. Various actors, such as Jerry Yan,[2] Lan Cheng-lung, Will Pan, Ady An, and Weber Yang, later went on to become successful in the industry, so the show is often called an "Idol maker" or "Idol workshop".[3][4]
