After watching the just released 10-minute official trailer, there are so many expletive-laden things I want to say about Bu Bu Jing Qing, the upcoming modern day sequel to the time-traveling Qing dynasty period drama Bu Bu Bing Xin, but I’ll hold it all in for now. The 10-minute trailer destroys even the last shred of hope I had that this drama might even be decent on its own, forget trying to live up to how compelling the original was. This is a two-fer of suck the likes of which I can only describe as raping the memory of BBJX and using it to mask what is an utterly makjang modern day office and family feud C-drama. The trailer starts with the original and after Ruo Xi died 4th Prince had her hair pin and ring put it a box and taken back to her home province and buried. This box containing the two artifacts ties the two dramas together along with Zhang Xiao, who went back in time as Ruo Xi and has now returned to the modern world. She goes to work for the 4th Prince lookalike named Yin Zheng played by Nicky Wu, who has a hate-hate relationship with his stepfather played by Damien Lau. The oddest part is that Liu Shi Shi not only plays Zhang Xiao, she also plays a model named Lan Lan, who then later gets plastic surgery and becomes Annie Liu‘s Ma Yi Nuo. Like whut? Sun Yi Zhou plays the baddie here in the role that takes 8th Prince’s shades of grey and goes straight for crazy dude who betrays Zhang Xiao and then later tries to destroy Yin Zheng. Sigh, I have no words. He even plays the character dripping with smarmy and crazy eyes. Funnily enough the only character I found interesting to watch was guy 3 played by Jiang Jing Fu, who I have ragged on endlessly for being totally acting-limited, but perhaps that was only in a period drama setting. Here in modern guise he’s actually manlier and visually compelling, not to mention he appears to have stepped into 14th Prince’s shoes as nursing the unrequited love. I think the worse possible thing this production did was not getting the original cast back, without Yuan Hong, Kevin Cheng, Lin Geng Xin, and Han Dong and all the brotherly love and feuding from BBJX carrying over, none of the warring onscreen in BBJQ has any meaning to me because it’s just some random characters being angry at each other. This is so disappointing I’m literally heartbroken right now as the pillaging of genuine sincerity to make an easy buck.

Wow that bad? I was hoping it would decent at least decent... sigh! More disappointment... KF ending better make my day tomorrow!
I actually burst out laughing out loud when I read about the plastic surgery part. I'm so sorry you had your memories of BBJX tainted by this travesty. On the other hand, you did a really good deed because your sacrifice will prevent us from ever experiencing this nightmare! LOL
Plastic Surgery... What?
I do not a word they are saying in the trailer, I will wait for my friend to translate for me. But thank you very much for the heads up about the drama it will be in my list of question mark undecided dramas.
It's in viki translated.

Thank u :)
It may disappoint others but I'm most anxious to see this than anything else. Its unlike most Mainland modern day series that's filled with cuteness and nonsense. I been waiting for this a year now and though Kevin & Yuan couldn't make it don't change my view on what I want see from both Nicky & Shi. The drama is more intense but the chemistry is clearly still there between them. From my understanding they plan on airing the sequel in August.
Thanks for sharing Trailer.
What in the what???!!! Maybe watching the entire drama may prove me wrong, but nothing in this trailer evokes anything that I felt for BBJX, other than the fact that some of the actors returned. That's it.
Oh my to the plastic surgery. You have got to be kidding me. This totally screamed at me as being another family feud/makjang modern drama. I avoid all of these. But there are definitely people out there that like this kind of stuff. It just doesn't have the magic of BBJX.
I liked it. Exactly what I was expecting in terms of any modern Cdrama production. Looking forward to this. I won't exactly treat it as a sequel more than a separate show in itself. LSS looks good in some scenes and bad in others. Nicky looks a lot younger than he had in BBJX which is nice.
I shall wipe this off my memory, any mention of it (I'm not going to even bother watching this trailer) and leave BBJX as it is
i feel for you ms. koala T-T
I actually like this trailer more than the previous one. It makes a little more sense to me. But then, I still need subs to understand everything fully. Although I'm a little disappointed that they are referencing BBJX when the whole cast is actually not back, but I'm open minded to see what BBJQ has in store for us.
Another dog blood show.
Sigh. I'm probably gonna be one of the few that doesn't even care about the plot if it means having on my screen something that even remotely resemble BBJX.
The only thing is, I couldn't really understand the plot from the trailer. Like, what is even going on there. Is RX even the same person as she was in BBJX?
