8th Prince Kevin Cheng Ties the Knot in Bali with HK-actress Grace Chan

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 12, 2018
Bride and groom joyfully exit ceremony.

The brotherhood of the original and best drama adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin (also known as Startling With Each Step or Scarlet Heart) adds another to the married brethren, much to my pleasure as I just want each and everyone to find lasting happiness unlike their characters in the drama. This time it’s 8th Prince played by Kevin Cheng, … Continue reading →

Newlyweds Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu Bask in Well-wishes From Friends and Bu Bu Jing Xin Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2015 by ockoalaJune 25, 2015

I caution drama fans not to get too involved with reel to real shipping since the odds are forever against anything happening off screen. It’s like being selected for the Hunger Games, expect to die but at least give it your best shot. With that said, the recent C-ent wave-making marriage of Bu Bu Jing Xin costars Nicky Wu and … Continue reading →

Kevin Cheng Has Some Cheeky Fun for Vogue China July Edition

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 5, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2014

With the recent spate of mostly lackluster period dramas from both Korea and Japan, I feel like being on a formerly award winning team that is sucking so badly it ought to be demoted to the minor leagues. What gives, drama gods? Period dramas used to be the bread and butter of the drama world – its very fantastical or … Continue reading →

First Official Stills of the Drama Adaptation of Hua Xu Yin with Yuan Hong and Kevin Cheng

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 28, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 24, 2013

I know I promised to write about period C-novel Hua Xu Yin but I’ve really been so swamped with everything going on it keeps getting pushed back. The good news is that the first official stills are out of the drama adaptation called The City of Devastating Love. I’ve said before that the story is being changed significantly in its … Continue reading →

The City of Devastating Love Starts Filming with Yuan Hong and Jiang Xin as One Set of OTP

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 3, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 3, 2013

The casting has been completed for The City of Devastating Love, the drama adaptation of Tang Qi Gong Zi‘s period fantasy romance novel Hua Xu Yin (The Lure of the Hua Xu Tune), and I’ll use this as another reminder not to believe in early reports. Initially the word was Kevin Cheng, Jiang Xin, and Yuan Hong were the three leads … Continue reading →

Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi Confirmed for Bu Bu Jing Qin, Kevin Cheng and Yuan Hong Reportedly Out

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2013

I always thought that there could be no genuine Bu Bu Jing Xin 2 (步步驚心) without the involvement of Tong Hua either writing the script or approving it. Yet here it is, with her going on record on her weibo page stating that she is not involved in upcoming so-called sequel in any way. I think the clearest indicator that this … Continue reading →

Gorgeous Jiang Xin Joins Kevin Cheng and Yuan Hong for Drama Adaptation of Hua Xu Yin

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2013

Forget like, this is 100% unbridled love love love! The Bu Bu Jing Xin gang, still waiting for Tangren‘s ladyboss to put her money where her mouth is and actually start filming the long touted modern sequel to that drama, has been busy buzzing up weibo with cute getogethers, bromancy bickering and flirting, and set visits to share the love. … Continue reading →

The October Issue of Easy Magazine Featuring the Cast of Bu Bu Jing Xin

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 15, 2011

October’s Easy Magazine, one of China’s glossiest entertainment magazines, features the cast of Bu Bu Jing Xin with in depth interviews and photoshoots. I’m traveling this weekend so no scene recap for my BBJX fellow addicts, but these pictures ought to be a sight for sore eyes. Nicky Wu lands on the cover while the rest of the equally gorgeous … Continue reading →

Discussion and Summary of Bu Bu Jing Xin the Novel

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2011

I’ve found myself toggling between four different drama worlds recently, the most expansive watch portfolio in recent memory. I only need to add a TVB drama from HK to complete the quintet (heard LoO is insanely addicting). I’ve been waiting for the drama-adaptation of Tong Hua’s internet time-travel novel Bu Bu Jing Xin since it started filming late last year, … Continue reading →

Presenting the English-Subbed Extended Trailer for Bu Bu Jing Xin

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2011

After posting about Bu Bu Jing Xin last night, I ended up kissing sleep goodbye and marathoning all the available episodes (10 out of 35 estimated episodes). I look like a very hideous raccoon this morning, but it was worth it. I haven’t loved a C-drama this much since LOCH2008, which surprise surprise, is also a Tangren production directed by … Continue reading →

First Impressions on Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心) with Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 11, 2011 by ockoalaApril 3, 2012

It’s here! And it’s everything I hoped for and more, literally drama crack on demand and I’m already in withdrawal mode needing more new episodes. More, I need more Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心), THE long-awaited time-travel period C-drama. Before I get started, I make no bones about loathing Gong/Jade Palace Lockheart, the Yu Zheng knock-off of Bu Bu Jing … Continue reading →

C-Drama Bu Bu Jing Xin Holds Media Event and Releases Full Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 27, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2011

Upcoming Qing Dynasty time-travel and palace intrigue C-drama Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心) held a media event this week to introduce its first trailer (and likely as a head-toss to its rival Jade Palace Lock Heart, which is ending its broadcast this week). I checked out JPLH when it first aired, and its not to my liking, so I’ll remain … Continue reading →

A Sneak Peek at the Upcoming C-drama Adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin 步步惊心

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2011

Okay, I might have spoken too soon when I decreed that Four Brothers of Peking was my most anticipated C-drama of 2011. It still is, but now it has to share the throne with Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心), the upcoming time-travel political intrigue romance C-drama, which is currently entering the tail end of its production. Expect to see it … Continue reading →
