Which couple is the cutest?
Is it iMe Liu Meihan and Chen Xiang kissing?
8090 Zhang He and Liu Xijun bickering?
Or 8090 Jiang Chao being pranced upon?
Who do you want to be paired as Sweethearts in the miniseries?
Although “mainland Hana Kimi” Runaway Sweetheart (落跑甜心) has yet to air, it’s already preparing a side series with website Sohu. The miniseries will have seven episodes, each featuring its own lead couple, and will stream on Sohu. Confirmed actors include eeMedia‘s Chen Xiang, Jiang Chao of 8090, Xu Jiawei of 8090, Liu Meihan of iMe, Yi Yizi of iMe, Li Yuanxi of iMe, Tan Lina, Liu Xijun, Liu Xin, and Zeng Yike as well as Sohu’s Yu Shasha.

Directed by the director of Hana Kimi, Runaway Sweetheart will air on Hunan TV in May, making it the first weekly drama to air in mainland. The drama is another spin on the classic Liangzhu story and stars newcomers Chen Xiang, Chai Ge, members of upcoming boyband 8090, and an unannounced female lead.
Actors for Dan (Chen Xiang) and Nate (Jiang Chao) check for gossip online during training.
Looking for new gossip? Try moving beyond the Upper East Side to a certain school on the other side of the world. Dan Humphrey’s alter ego, Dan(or Shan?) Hanfei, just got a new roommate, Shulei/Serena, and he (or should we say, she) is stirring up drama in the all boys’ college of Hua Gang. Swimmer Chuck is seriously questioning his sexual orientation, and even hottie Track Captain Nate is interested in this newcomer.
From the director of Hana Kimi, and following the style of Gossip Girl, Shineshow/eeMedia/Sohu’s “Runaway Sweetheart” is another take on the timeless plotline of girl-as-boy. The cast includes mostly first-time actors, including Chen Xiang, an unconfirmed female lead, newbie Chen Xiaoke 陈晓柯, and members of new boyband 8090. The drama will be mainland’s first weekly TV series, and will air next summer.
Chen Xiang plays the moody lead, a runner with a soft heart for his new roommate.

8090 member Jiang Chao is a potential lead
Although eeMedia boyband 8090 has yet to debut, its members are already delving into other areas. The group’s most popular member, Jiang Chao, has revealed on his blog that he will be auditioning for Hunan TV and eeMedia’s new remake of “You’re Beautiful,” a Korean drama about a girl who accidentally became member of a popular boyband. Given their history, Hunan TV will probably only take from the general idea and change the plot significantly (generally for the better).
It is uncertain other member of 8090 will try out with him on the 12th, but this would be an interesting way for them to debut on the silver screen again. Listen to them cover Meteor Rain here.
