CTV’s idol drama, ‘Calling For Love’ have decided that it cannot air according to the original plan, and due to the fact that the idol drama suddenly used to replace it, ‘Shanghai Sweetheart,’ is in the process of filming, it cannot replace the premiere timeslot. Therefore, Rainie Yang’s concert and the behind the scenes clips of ‘Shanghai Sweetheart’ will be aired first. As for ‘Shanghai Sweetheart’ that was originally set to premiere on October 18th to compete with ‘Momo Love,’ will have its premiere on November 1st.

‘Calling For Love,’ lead-casted by Mike He has been delayed for a long time and was finally able to air on the 18th. Even the promotional events have been planned out, but because Mainland China’s approval has not been received yet the drama cannot premiere according to schedule. This caused CTV to panic, but fortunately, Angie Chai has another drama on hand, ‘Shanghai Sweethear.’ Though due to the fact that ‘Shanghai Sweetheart’ just started filming not too long ago, it’s afraid that it cannot fill in the original timeslot; therefore, it’s set to premiere on November 1st. As for the weeks of the 18th and the 25th, Rainie’s concert and the behind the scenes clips of ‘Shanghai Sweetheart’ will be aired instead.

Originally CTV’s ‘Calling For Love’ was premiering on the same day as GTV’s ‘Momo Love,’ where there will be a heated battle, but ‘Calling For Love’ has decided not to air. The rush can be seen in Charlene Choi’s and Mike He’s appearances, and all the promotional events have been planned out already. In addition to the release of the promotional clips of the drama, Charlene and Mike already went to make variety shows for promotion. Right now, since the drama is not airing, the question of how the promotional events can match up with the later airing time of the drama is something the television station needs to figure out.

As for the replacement, ‘Shanghai Sweetheart,’ it is cast with Show Luo and Rainie Yang. The style of the two’s appearance in the drama has been revealed and netizens are discussing about them heatedly. Seemingly the collaboration of the two singer-actors should be really good. Even though ‘Momo Love’ premieres two weeks before ‘Shanghai Sweetheart,’ it should be ready for the arrival of this strong competition.

In addition to some issues with the Sunday timeslot, CTV is also facing a lack of dramas to air after ‘Devil Girl 18’ finishes airing. Right now, it does not seem like CTV has any new dramas to fill in the 8:00pm timeslot so it can only use the immediate replacement drama, ‘I’m at Ken Ding, Weather is Good,’ for the time-being.

that's fine, november 1st is a pretty good airing time...it would be too early for it to premiere oct 18...it is actually kinda shocking cause originally we were expecting a 2010 release so it's all good...
really excited about it!

I know I'm thinking of this in advance, but when do you think the DVD will be out? I'm going to Taiwan in January, and I hope to buy it there (it's cheaper). If it comes out after January, then I'll have to pay heaps for it on Yesasia.

hihihi i will not blame them when we see BTS stuff ... hihihi
cant wait for it ... ^^

evalia, i doubt that the dvd will be out in jan already ... and if them probably just the first part
but i cross fingers for you ^^

so its confirmed its gonna be on nov 1st
so excited now... can't wait to see it!
hope that they would also release a photobook.... coz i luv collecting photobooks.

Thank you so much. I really hope that it'll be out. But I doubt it!!!

airing behind the scenes was good to promote it,considering not enough time to do the promotion things till its premiere. Oh...so excited!!

ooooh airing the behind the scenes first will only make me feel more excited to watch the drama!!!
i hope there are a lot of NGs because those are hella funny

i can't wait to watch SHOW's new drama!hope someone will put eng subs on it as soon as it airs...

iloveyou SHOW!!!
xiao zhu forever XD

char: It's okay. I can understand basic Chinese, so English subtitles aren't essential. By the way, my dad went to Singapore in August, and bought me 'Miss No Good' with English subtitles. So maybe it's not the case anymore. Hmm, you order at books.com.tw? What is the payment method, and is it cheap?

cool..when it does start airing on Nov.1rst, can you guys record the episodes and put them online on YOutube?? I don't have taiwan tv and I wanna watch them...

Oooh, that's interesting. GTV really seem to be pushing Momo Love, I've seen it advertised on the sides of loads of buses here in Taipei. I adore Jiro too so it's a shame that my two boys are going to be competing against each other
