nicky was good as the 4th prince!no matter how many times i watched this show, i always ended up crying non stop.but i felt sad when kevin cheng (8th prince) was rejected due to him unwilling to give up the throne.really liked how they progressed from the beginning!

Sometime in 2014.  I made a new thread for the sequel Bu Bu Jing Qing here!

Doing a marathon of this drama now...
Love love love it! I could not stop even if I want to. I have been rooting for the 4th Prince since the beginning, I don't know why I don't really like the 8th Prince.

@ChelseaS, 
If you like BBJX that much, then you need to catch up with its sequel BBJQ

I finally finished this drama. The last few episodes were so heart wrenching especially when he wouldn't read the last letter written by Ruoxi. My voice cracked everytime I sang along to the ending theme which played in certain parts. Even though this drama was sad it was also beautifully wrapped up in the end. I really hope that some of the original cast will be in the movie sequel to BBJX. I haven't seen Bu Bu Jing Qing yet due to bad reviews of a confusing storyline.

My favorite characters are 13 Prince and 14 Prince. I liked Ruo Xi more in the beginning versus when she suddenly decided to disregard her health and worry about everybody else.

The new Bu Bu Jing Xin movie will star Ivy Chen and two other actors that I don't know. Meaning I will not be watching.

RX and 4th are now finally together in real life. They just publicised their marriage officially!

[halfmoonsmile]

To be honest I thought that they would date for a few years and break up. Congratulations to them!

New teaser pic starring Ivy Chen as Ruoxi. The pic is at this link: http://www.jaynestars.com/movies/bu-bu-jing-xin-movie-releases-first-preview/

I don't have the right feel from the trailer. There's modern-day elements in even the Manchu inspired outfit she wore in one scene when she's frantically running.

A Korean remake of Bu Bu Jing Xin is in the works, to be directed by Kim Kyu-tae (That Winter the Wind Blows, It's Okay, It's Love). The script is still in its early stages, but SBS has picked it up for a new year broadcast. With everything else up in the air, at least the cinematography will be excellent.

The instrumentals in the original were beautiful, the script was excellent (some of the lines in earlier episodes were exact replicas of the dialogue in the novel) and the raw and passionate acting - from Nicky especially - has made BBJX one of my favourite dramas ever (unfortunately, that love did not translate to the novel when I re-read the source material). 

I'm always open to adaptions, as long as they do the source justice.

Hello everyone  Exciting! Anticipating! I hope they pick the right cast for the kdrama remake.

Youku Ent News...

Yeah. I'm gonna pass on the Korean version. It's not gonna be accurate to their history. Most of the characters are based on real Chinese historical figures. I can't wait to see the ignorant fans be like "The Chinese people copied Korean dramas again" after discovering there's a Chinese version. haha

I'm in two minds about the remake. Will watch it and judge if I like it afterwards. Nothing beats the novel though in my mind although i did like the drama.

I watched this drama years ago on Vicki and fell in love with the characters especially Ruoxi and the 4th Prince.  Their chemistry was off the charts. The 4th prince was laid back, but he was sexy and his persona exuded power.  At the end I was heartbroken because they never got back together and the 4th prince did not find out how Ruoxi really felt until after she was gone.  This is one of the best Mainland China historical dramas I have watched. I loved it so much, I am thinking of watching it again.  Great drama, it is in my top four Mainland China historical dramas.  The actors were great, the writers and directors did a fantastic job and the cinematography was beautiful.  I would recommend this drama to anyone as an introduction to Chinese cinema.

@jadecloud Jo In Sung? they already pick Lee Joon Ki as 4th Prince, Kang Ha Neul be 8th Prince and Exo's Baekhyun to be Crown Prince (3rd Prince).

Maybe Hong Jong Hyun become 13th Prince (Rouxi/Janghyo best friend) i think^^

@HRyujin

Heard everything was still in talks...anything confirmed yet? I guess they need to decide soon since production is meant to commence in Feb so that it shows towards the end of next year. Can't wait!
