Chinese romantic drama "Love You for Loving Me" premiered in Beijing on Tuesday.

Directed by Ma Zhiyu, the story tells the trials and tribulations of a trio of love-lorn people who find themselves caught in a rather uncomfortable triangle.

The film addresses China's obsession with left over women as well as the irrational lovers display when attempting to win back win partners.

Stars Zhang Hanyu and Wang Luodan have been the toast of the critics of late.

Last year Wang picked up a Best Supporting Actress Gong at last year's Golden Rooster Awards for her role in "Caught in the Web'.

Speaking to CRI, Wang said she was very excited to be working with her co-star.

"I was so excited when I first learned the news that I would co-star with Zhang Hanyu. He won the best actor at the Golden Horse Film Awards. Before this I was not familiar with him. After I saw his works I realized he was a terrific actor. I thought sparks would be flying, and it turned out to be so."

This is the first time that Zhang Hanyu has starred in a love story and he said that he chose to do so because it is a story line that everyone can relate to.

The film is to hit screens across China on 8th September, perfect for a Singles Day outing on 11th November.
