Getting in formation for their Beyoncé cover.
There’s nothing like summer on the TV, someone in a rush replaces someone looking pretty. After a series of surprising upsets in the battle for the Hunan TV summer slot, The Bodyguards 麻辣变形计 (official title: Hot Girls) is now advertising itself to overtake the next spot. We’ll see who comes out to the up soon, but meanwhile, here’s the opening theme from SNH48’s Ju Jingyi.
I still refuse this English title. Also, there’s no way they can outrun those cars.
Dilraba and Ma Ke‘s first lead TV series has finally released a trailer months after it was suppose to air. The Bodyguards 麻辣变形计 is now looking at a fall release from Hunan TV along with Hero Dog 2 神犬小七 from the same company and almost the same cast minus the leads and plus Zhang Yunlong
The official English name is “Hot Girl”. I refuse that title.
Dilraba and Ma Ke fight and fall in love in The Bodyguards 麻辣变形计. The series is the next from Perfect World, who has a pretty good record for fun action series. It co-stars 麻辣女兵 (the English title for this was Hot Girls … I refuse that, too) stars Wang Yang, Wang Yu, and Wang Lu.

Clearly the type of people you would trust with your life in the ER.
The ER may seem hectic and stressful, but it sure feels a lot better when your patients include Sun Honglei, Qiao Zhenyu, Chen He, Wen Zhang, Huo Siyan, Ma Su, Yao Di, etc. Director Zhao Baogang‘s latest production, Young Doctors 青年医生, focus on four young doctors and their younger residents in the ER – Ren Zhong, Zhang Li, Zhang Duo, Wang Yang, Du Jiang, Zhang Jianing, Zhou Fang. The series has released several sets of cute posters for the various leads.
Fair warning: the photoshoots are a lot better than the series itself, but that may just be because I’ve only been skipping to Zhang Ze/Zhou Fang parts.
