Han Geng of Super Junior and leader of Super Junior M will be playing the lead role in CCTV’s upcoming drama Qing Chun Wu Tai/ (literal translation: Stage of Youth). The character is named Xia Lei. It’s going to be a 12-episode drama.

The confirmation came from the official blog of the Jia Ri Ju (Holiday drama). Qing Chun Wu Tai is going to be CCTV’s third holiday drama. The 2 previous dramas were Meng Xiang Ren Jian that aired during the Chinese New Year period in 2006, and also Kangta’s Ding Jia You Nu Xi Yang Yang in November of 2007.

description of Geng’s character in the blog entry:
夏磊： 一个热爱跳舞的阳光大男孩，父亲是顶级射箭运动员，曾因夏磊的母亲去世与上一届奥运会失之交臂，父亲希望夏磊能继承衣钵，但夏磊只喜欢跳舞，在经历了与父辈的矛盾、重重的自我挑战、不懈的努力后，终于实现了自我升华，成就了生命的精彩，成长为新一代舞蹈巨星。
(rough translation: Xia Lei: a young man who loves to dance, his dad is a top notched archery athlete, because of the death of Xia Lei’s mom and also a missed opportunity in the last Olympic, his dad wish Xia Lei to follow his footsteps [follow dad’s dream to become an outstanding athlete to enter the Olympics). However Xia Lei only likes to dance, after going through dad’s objections, challenges after challenges, & with persistence, he finally raises to a higher level, achieves brilliance, & become the new generation’s dancing star.

”I don’t know when this going to be air, my prediction will be next month??since it’s the Beijing Olympic. I’m looking forward for this drama to come out, it’ll be a great holiday drama. It would be great if chinese speaker could translate this to english. For now, i guess we’ll have to wait for more update from CCTV”.
