So are we all getting used to the idea of a sorta sequel to Bu Bu Jing Xin, set in modern times with the same OTP but most everyone else being different? Does seeing a side-by-side look at Nicky Wu in his Emperor Yongzheng costume versus his modern character Yin Zheng’s get up help? Nicky was the last of the … Continue reading →
So this confirms it – the only original cast members back for the sequel to Bu Bu Jing Xin will be Nicky Wu (4th Prince), Liu Shi Shi (Ruo Xi/Zhang Xiao), Ye Zhu Xin (10th Prince), and Damian Lau (Emperor Kangxi). The rest of the princes and ladies may make a cameo appearance but nothing is confirmed at this time. … Continue reading →
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 →
It feels like ages since I last saw Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi together in a public event, and when I checked the date I realized it has indeed been over a year since 4th Prince and Ruo Xi had the opportunity to grace us with their presence together. Since finishing Bu Bu Jing Xin back in early 2011, … Continue reading →
So the first teaser video and posters are out for the upcoming period C-drama Bride with White Hair starring Nicky Wu and Ma Su. I have to say that the action doesn’t look as bad as I worried it might, but the first set of posters need to be burned. It’s like horrific CGI wax figures. I feel bad for … Continue reading →
Nicky Wu is currently busy filming the wuxia drama Bride with White Hair (which currently looks like a big ole hot mess judging from the first stills and posters I’ve seen), but he continues to deliver really cool and innovative magazine spreads from time to time. The most recent one is titled “Breakthrough” and is a series of split images … Continue reading →
Whether or not the purported sequel to Bu Bu Jing Xin is a go or he’s even in it, Nicky Wu isn’t stopping for a minute in his back-to-back-to-back drama filming. He’s about to start filming his third drama since wrapping BBJX last year, and it’s his first time returning to the wuxia genre since he was the titular Xiao Shiyilang in drama … Continue reading →
Wait for it……and now the other shoe drops. Tangren touted loud and clear four months ago that Bu Bu Jing Xin 2 was a go with the same cast but set in a modern era, back then I was innocent and trusting and believed everything they said. Forget no contracts were signed, no script was written, and some nebulous August 2012 … Continue reading →
Looks like Nicky Wu will never do another Qing dynasty drama again, because I’m getting the sense that he really really loves his hair. I probably would too if I had to shave it off for a good half a year and wear a braid hair piece around. Nicky’s upcoming C-drama held a press conference this week to announce the … Continue reading →
Instead of attending the myriad Lunar New Year programs he was invited to this week, Nicky Wu was in Paris attending Fashioin Week at the invitation of a bevy of fashion houses. He was photographed at Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin, and Louis Vuitton, each time sporting the new Spring outfit from the respective designer. Not only was Nicky a quick … Continue reading →
Oh what some eyeliner can do to transform a person. Nicky Wu graces the cover and pages of Beijing Fashion magazine and the make up artist decided to whip out the extra chunky guyliner and liberally apply it to Nicky. The result is strangely alluring and very eye-catching especially considering his very drab and restrained appearance in Bu Bu Jing … Continue reading →
The more I listen to Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu‘s duet version of “A Season of Waiting”, the more I’m convinced the drama failed big time in not making this version part of the OST and the drama scoring. Its succeeded in making me all schmoopy over Bu Bu Jing Xin again. Hearing 4th Prince and Ruo Xi sing … Continue reading →
It sucks to be me, surrounded by family members who are so late on the Bu Bu Jing Xin bandwagon that I had another one marathon the entire thing in four days this week and then want to talk about it afterwards. I’m still vaguely dehydrated just thinking about it. But happiness abounds in my fantasy BBJX land, as Liu … Continue reading →
