Show Luo & Rainie Yang's new idol drama 'Shanghai Sweetheart' will enter the Sunday night idol drama battle on the 1st of November, replacing CTS drama 'Roseate Love' and battling against SETTV's 'Autumn's Concerto/Next Station, Happiness'. The other idol drama 'Calling For Love' which was originally slated to release in October, has not yet obtained the broadcasting permit, and so has confirmed to delay broadcast. In 'Shanghai Sweetheart', Show's new style has a breakthrough, never been seen before; his mushroom hairstyle is bound to make viewers burst into laughter, and even Rainie was unable to control her laughter and kept having NGs!

'Calling For Love' is a joint collaboration with mainland China, but it still hasn't obtained the broadcasting permit. Because the week commencing 1st of October is the golden week, and everyone will have a 8-9 day holiday, producer Angie Chai was worried that there would be delay in the process of issuing permits, and they might not get the permit before the original airing date - 18th of October. She didn't want to take this big risk, hence the producers have decided to air 'Shanghai Sweetheart' which is still currently filming, first, to save the situation.

In the drama, Show plays a mushroom-head, herbivorous but kind & honest guy called Lin Da Lang. His personality is so innocent that it seems somewhat silly. Originally, Angie only planned for Show to have a mushroom hairstyle but during costume-fitting, Show improvised and added bangs at the front, and also discussed with Angie to add big black-rimmed glasses. All this, matched with shorts and long socks produced a surprisingly good result. Hence, Angie immediately agreed to Show's suggestions.

Actually, the reason for Show's character name in the drama being Lin Da Lang is because a few years ago, there was once when Show was chatting to Angie, and the 2 were humming Pink Panther's song 'Da Lang Da Lang Da Lang~'. Both of them thought that it would be very interesting if there was a guy called Da Lang, and so this idea has always remained at the back of Angie's mind. And now, in 'Shanghai Sweetheart', Angie really did make the male lead's character name Da Lang, and his character is also someone who likes Pink Panther and loves the colour pink.

Show's performance was very hard-working, but Rainie is also hard-working. When she saw Show's bangs, she couldn't control her laughter and kept having NGs. Even looking at his back would make her laugh, in the end she begged the director: "I'm sorry, give me 10 seconds to let all my laughter out, I really can't control it!"

Thanks for translating, Sarah! It's confirmed, then...airing in November. I really look forward to it! I still don't get how SS can get a permit, but CFL cannot, though.

ahaha show looks os funny! lol i cant wait ot see this =D

Ohhhh my god no wayyy he's such a dork! Haha I loveee him!

I think it's dumb that China won't allow a broadcasting permit if 1/3 of the actors aren't Mainland Chinese. I mean I can understand that but STILL the title is called SHANGHAI SWEETHEART. I mean, shouldn't that be enough?

I super duper wanna see this :]

Love ya' Xiao Zhu :]

i usually don't fond over Rainie but in the pix, she looks really good. I like her hair and her outfit.

LOL....Mainland version of Ah Wong? nice, will be watching this one for sure..

Show looks so funny and dorky lol I can't wait till this airs.

lol.. show's character looks like a nerd..XD
anyways, I'm so looking forward to this drama..
Ranie and Show are one of my favorite Taiwanese actor and actress..

OMG!! LOL i didn't expect him to get a mushroom haircut haha. it's going to be sooo funny.
can't wait for november!! <3

I barely got over the big wig on Rainie in "Together"!!! Now this big mushroom wig...on a guy... I want someone handsome for Rainie. I guess eventually He turns more stylish??

OMFG, THAT'S SHOW?!
I saw this picture as someone (who is in love with Show)'s youtube background.
My first thought was "When did she like Lu Guang Zhong?"
Cause that's who Show looks like with the haircut.

i can't wait for this to show...i'm glad it's not till November...
i can't help but laugh on show's hairstyle!
and Rainie looks so beautiful...and YOUNG!!!

Omg, that's Show? Please say it isn't so. That mushroom haircut is... not very appealing =D I hope he doesn't look like that throughout the series. Rainie looks cute though. She finally has normal hairstyle after her crazy hair in Miss No Good and ToGetHer.

hahaha xiao zhu looks so cute...i cant wait to watch this drama, that hairstyle is like nerdy cute lol

ahahahahahahahahah! xiao zhu's mushroom hairstyle somewhat reminds me of ella's mushroom *out of topic, i know*

but xiao zhu still looks adorable even with the mushroom hairstyle.

that's our Show!

WHOA! RAINIE IS SO PRETTY! She'll be wearing stylish clothes here as on the first part of the drama, she's from a rich background whose family got bankrupt later on!

Jiriel, girl, Rainie only proves her versatility and that she isn't afraid to look different!

As for Show, he'll be somewhat nerdy, dorky...with no sense of style (he looks cute though) that is on the first part but will become a ruthless cassanova in the latter part!

This is gonna be raucuous, Show is usually funny!

Can't wait for November to come, I hope they get to be number 1 in the rating as this is highly anticipated!

JIA YOU, RAINIE & SHOW!

and i was waiting for CFL....anyway, that's okay..
but how could SS get a permit and CFL can't when they have finished filming and already promoted and stuff...
but it's fine...
it looks like SS will be a very funny drama...just the pictures make me laugh already..

OMG!!!!!!

He looks hilarious with that hair....is it all his?!?

wasn't really interested in this drama before but now i am!

Show look very funny!!! but for Rainie, she look so cute and young!!!!!!!! more pretier than before

(this makes me want to watch ss. oy. the things i do for show. -sigh-)
since this would surely be filmed in superhuman speed, just the quality won't get sacrificed.

YAY!!!

Show does really look funny but cute esp the first pic
all those ideas he had are hilarious
i couldnt even recognise him at first but stared longer at the pics and yep thats him alright >_<" LOL!!!!
hehe Rainie is so mean but what can u do its so funny haha

OMG he looks totally funny!!! Can't wait for the drama to air. It's a pity that it will air in Nov instead of Oct coz initially there were rumors of it airing in Oct instead of Mike n Ah Sa drama. Anyway, look forward to watching both drama.

LOL..is that really Show?
I do hope that this will be aired here also in phil..

haha he does look like ah wong now that someone mentioned it!
its ok i like Show so i dont mind
im looking forward to this drama mainly cuz the couple is so fresh and the plot sounds cute

I'm not really into this drama because of Rainie... but I'll give it a shot because of Show.
Dunno but his dorky appearance make me like him more. haha.
I know he can pull this character off.
Show's character in this drama is my dream role for Ethan to perform.
Since I adore them both, I wouldn't mind if Show gets to do it first.. haha.

it's so sad that Calling for Love cant air..i've been anticipating it for the longest time..
..but this looks good too..
i like show, he's friggin hilarious!
and hte synopsis sounds interesting!

Hope that they wont accuse the show for plagiarizing Ah Wong. x.x

LOL, Show mushroom hairstyle look so adorable and cute on him. I can't help it but to laugh out loud. Can't wait until the series is coming out.

Ahaha lol, I love how Show gets 'into' these dorky characters~

Haha, I had the same reaction. Crowd Lu has the SAME exact haircut and the SAME exact "styling." He loves wearing long tube socks.

I think Show and Rainie look good together... have since that McDonald's commercial and promotion last year, haha. So I'll probably give this a try... if I can ever find the time

Thanks for the translation!
