It’s about a month and a half out from the premiere of K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin on SBS, not very long considering how long this drama has been on my radar since 2015 when news broke that Korean was legit going to make their own version of BBJX.

One of these things is not like the others is my first reaction upon seeing the just released official character posters for the Korean drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin.

The styling for the leads in the upcoming K-drama adaptation of time-traveling Chinese romance novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) is certainly going for visual oomph.

I’m a little surprised at the strong reactions to the first filming stills of leads Lee Jun Ki and IU in the upcoming K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Whereas the original novel was set in the more structured confines of the Qing dynasty, and may have made more sense if the K-version moved the setting to the similar era … Continue reading →
The goodies for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin keep on coming despite the drama being fully pre-filmed and not airing until much later this year. I’m totally not complaining, all I worry about is this drama not delivering to expectation and/or running out of steam.

Looks like the K-drama version is doing the same as the first picture of the cast in costume … Continue reading →
