Sammul Chan Transforms Into an Ancient 'Beauty'

Sammul Chan's new series "A Bride for a Ride" will release tomorrow, and we all know that Sammul will be playing two characters, one of which he'll have to disguise as a female. Apparently, Chin Ka Lok's character will be attracted to the female Sammul and 'snatches' him (or should I say her) home. For fun's sake, I've decided to post the pics of him in his female costume, before we actually get to see him onscreen.


That's some heavy make up. ^_^ He even has the fan to complete the look. His costume is definitely a big deal to the series, which was why they had to give him his own costume fitting.
A smile! :) He's got the hand motions down I see. Haha, he sure looks like a girl. Ancient beauty? Not really. But he's a pretty dang convincing girl..
There are more out there, but these are what I can find and quickly post. I'm hoping I'll be able to get more updates up soon using my actual signature writing, and not just quick posts about upcoming series and such and such. In the meantime, I hope these pictures of Sammul brought a smile to your face. Make sure you watch him in 'A Bride for a Ride'! :)

New Series: A Bride for a Ride


Episodes: 21

Genre: Costume Action

Producer: Poon Ka Tak

Cast: Chin Kar Lok, Sammul Chan, Louisa So, Nancy Wu, Lee Kwok Lun, Rain Lau, Gigi Wong, Cheung Kwok Keung, Chun Wong, Mimi Chu, Macy Chan, Nicky Law, Natalie Wong

Synopsis:

Foolhardy Tiger Wong (Chin Kar Lok) is annoyed with his mother Lau Bing Tai (Gigi Wong) for consistently pressuring him to get married. He therefore snatches Chow Man Bun (Sammul Chan) who is in female disguise to be his bride and arranges for Bun to stay at his younger sister Wong Sau Ying (Nancy Wu)’s chamber for the night. After this, Tiger has no choice but to marry Ying to Bun while setting up strict rules to torture Bun in the house. Clever Bun makes use of the chivalrous woman Mo Sam Leung (Louisa So) to control Tiger and misleads Leung that Tiger is her long lost rescuer. Using tricks to upset Tiger, he makes Tiger marry Leung. Since then, Leung tries every means to domesticate her husband and that almost drives him insane. Bun is relieved to escape from Tiger’s manipulation but he carelessly causes lots of troubles elsewhere. “A Bride for A Ride” brings you a modern perspective of this traditional tale and you’ll surely be surprised with its astonishing approach.


The plot doesn't seem very appealing and the silliness of it all is a bit of a turnoff. However, I think it will be funny, even if its the ridiculous and crazy type of funny. Previously seeing Chin Ka Lok in The Academy, I'm excited to see him in a lead role as he is humorous. It'll be great to see Nancy Wu again, I think she looks very pretty in ancient series, and her acting never disappoints. My #1 reason to watch this though would be to see my favorite TVB actor Sammul Chan act as a girl. Most of us have heard this by now, AND seen the pictures. I'm sure it'll be hilarious. Sammul is one of the most versatile younger TVB actors, so acting as a girl will be nothing but a challenge that he can easily overcome.
On a side note...I really don't like the poster. >.<
