The Guardians exceeds 6,000 on heat index – drops poster of Zhang Yi Shan and Elvis Han to celebrate

Michelle Topham September 25, 2025

The just-premiered historical crime drama The Guardians dropped its first episodes yesterday and has already exceeded 6,000 on YOUKU’s heat index.

Considering reaching 6,000 is a significant milestone, and a marker of a very successful and hotly discussed drama, that’s excellent news for The Guardians. (You can learn more about YOUKU’s heat index here).

Especially as the international buzz about the drama is also quite high.

To celebrate The Guardians hitting 6,000 on the heat index, YOUKU also released a stunning poster of the two main leads — Zhang Yi Shan and Elvis Han — and a brief comment about the C-drama’s plot:

#Guardians of the Faith Surpasses 6000 Popularity Points# #Guardians of the Faith#

Congratulations to “Guardians of the Faith” for surpassing 6000 popularity points!

Ding Yi (played by Zhang Yi Shan) and Gu Yang Shan (Elvis Han) join forces to defend their homeland and beliefs, cutting through the fog of espionage to unravel complex schemes together.

The thrilling series is now airing—don’t miss this heartfelt story of loyalty in turbulent times! #Watch The Guardians on YOUKU#

The Chinese drama is scheduled to run for 35 episodes, with Episodes 1 through 7 now available to watch on YOUKU (the first three are free-to-view, with Episodes 4 through 7 for VIP subscribers only).

The Guardians releases 4 beautiful posters of main cast as C-drama set to premiere

If you are desperate to learn what happens in Episode 8, you can also pay extra for YOUKU’s TVOD package and get an episode early every day. (I don’t as I always think it’s a bit greedy on the part of these streaming services).

New very pretty poster out to celebrate The Guardians exceeding 7,000 on the heat index
