The issue of single parenting will be the main theme of China's newest comedy series, "Cool Daddy and Hot Mommy."

“Cool Daddy and Hot Mommy" (Ku Ba Qiao Ma), which premiered on April 13 on Beijing Satellite TV, is a new comedy television series centered on the issue of single parenting, which is gradually flourishing in China’s bigger cities.

The 40-episode series, which releases two brand-new episodes daily, is inspired by the American sitcom "Baby Daddy." The U.S. series follows the story of a man whose life was turned upside down after his former flame left a baby girl at his home.

The latest Chinese urban romantic comedy show stars veteran actor Li Guangile, who takes the role of Sun Dalei.

Sun is a 36-year-old entrepreneur who is obligated to raise his 12- and seven-year old children. His ex-wife decided to go to Hong Kong for a career upgrade.

Part of the series' side story is the lead role's competition for his children's attention against his ex-wife's current boyfriend who works as a college professor.

According to the veteran actor who captured the Chinese viewers for his suave looks, it is his first time to play the role of a neurotic father.

"I try very hard to look mature . . . But it was still a challenge, as I haven't yet been a real father," the 34-year-old star shared.

Ding Hei, the series' director, said that "Cool Daddy and Hot Mommy" intends to feature the fast-paced development that is currently transpiring in the modern society.

"More and more women are eager to earn a career status, and the men have to replace their wives' roles in the families. It's interesting. And it's time to see the change on the small screen," Ding enthused.
