    Naruto san, thanks for posting the pics up. From the looks of the pictures, the older cast (Empress Dowager, Emperor) looks more solid than the new leads. The new leads lack the star quality of the old version.

    I will wait for reviews before considering watching this. Most remakes are a disppointment these days. The casting of actors are not as rigorous compared to the 90s.

    oh my god. no offense, but these people are UGLY. WOW! i feel like they picked the actress for xiao yan zi just because she has big eyes. and the girl that plays zi wei is nowhere near as pretty as ruby! and im not even going to get into the guys. admittedly, the guy who played the original er kang (zhou jie?) wasnt that attractive in the first place, and the new guys isnt THAT bad, but the new guy in the 5th prince role... how could that compare to alec? blegh.
    thanks for posting the pictures though, i've been curious about this production for a while. now it seems like im definitely not going to watch it.
    and it looks like they're compressing the first and second installments of the original series into one?

    Obviously they got look-alikes of the original cast.... but they do not, and will not have the charm of the originals...

    Yeah the first reaction I had when I heard about this a while back was "NOOOOOOO...". The main actors all look so "bleh" compared to the originals...some of the supporting characters look pretty decent but for some reason I'm getting a "cartoony" feel from the pictures--I don't know if it's the makeup or costumes.

    I really don't want to become one of those people who bash new versions of dramas without watching it so I will try to reserve judgment for now, but I'm definitely not impressed from the pictures. HZGGI was just such a classic, still one of my favourites, I really don't want a new butchered version.

    And yeah even though the new Yong Qi is not bad-looking (actually probably the best looking out of the 4 main actors), agreed that no way can he compare to Alec--he doesn't have that "mischievous-but-still-princely" vibe. Alec was so cute as the 5th prince (especially when he got all angry, hehe). Although, Yong Qi was my favourite character in HZGG so I have even higher expectations for that role. (Actually I think I liked XYZ more in HZGGI, but in HZGGII the character got super annoying, so now I only rewatch HZGGII for the Yong Qi parts. HZGGI though I can rewatch the whole thing countless times! XD)

    (Also I know a lot of people don't think Zhou Jie is that good-looking but I thought he was quite handsome as Er Kang--I mean, I still prefer Alec but Zhou Jie looks better than the new Er Kang too IMO.)

    OMG, is she suppose to be Vicki Zhao's character

    They want to make a remake, I think getting lookalike actors will make it disastrous!! I mean look at LOCH - TVB's 1994 remake had actors with their own individual charm, e.g. Athena Chu didn't look anything like Barbara Yung, but brought her own unique personality and talent to the role.

    Umm...ok, I know it's cool and all for Ruby to come back and do a cameo of Zi Wei's mom...but (no offense) her age is kind of showing a bit, especially when they put her in that hairstyle that should belong to a girl 15 years younger than her real age. Although, better to have Ruby than have the new Zi Wei actress play Xia Yu He too! (I don't know, something just seems "off" about her, maybe she looks better onscreen...)

    Also, I just noticed--what, XYZ has a mom too now?? I never watched HZGG3 so is this some new development from that one? (I know XYZ found out about her real parents in HZGG2, but they didn't actually play any role.) And the addition of the foreigner guy who's supposed to be in a love triangle with XYZ/Yong Qi sounds ridiculous as well (I already got super annoyed with the Xiao Jian "love triangle" business in HZGG2 that dragged on for half the show).

    The new Xiang Fei is quite pretty and looks authentically XinJiang...but again that whole "butterfly" storyline was kind of ridiculous...On the other hand, if it compresses all those ridiculous HZGG2 storylines into something way shorter maybe it'll work out better. (I'm assuming this series will be shorter than the 72 total episodes of the original HZGG1+2.)

    The actress playing Xiao Yan Zi really looks like Vicki, probably the reason why she was cast. The female characters look pretty decent, and i see they've invited veterans like Sheren Tang & Liu Xue Hua to star in this as well. The male characters are a different ball game altogether. Not to be mean but the 4th prince actually looks more suited to play a little eunuch imo.

    I'll reserve judgement, but usually remake never as good as original. No offense, but the main cast are UGLY. It cool for Ruby to do cameo, but the look they give her is soo hilarious; it doesn't work for her. Are they going to stick to original or makeup as they go along?

    um..the reason they're cartoonish looking is probably because the girls are like staring their eyes out and posing weirdly? lol. just saying

    ahh alec...he was so amazing at the 5th prince. NO doubt my favorite character throughout the whole series. i'm sorry, but no one can compare to him in looks or the way he portrayed the character.
    and yeah, i mean, i feel like the way he portrayed er kang was good, he couldnt really help how he looked (or maybe its cause im so used to him in the role, but he's not bad.)

    NEWS:
    featuring Qiong Yao: Why Remake "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"

    More than ten years ago, when I set out to write my first "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", I made a decision to change from writing sad script to happier comedy type script. The reason for it was because I wanted to become happier. Secondly, I find that the road in life is always changing, and many young people can't seem to find their way. I just wanted to bring happiness to everyone, as well as to myself.

    My husband has been ill these last couple of years. Many different tv networks seek me out during this time with great persistence to collaborate with me on my next tv project. I had to turn them all down. Until my husband's health improve will I be able to find "myself" again. I know, I can't expect to find and hold onto strong health again since it tends to deteriorate as we get older. But if I'm still alive another day, if I could live happier another day, that in itself is a beautiful thing. I don't wish for anything else right now; I just want to be happy!

    But, happiness....where are you? I knocked at your door, did you hear me?

    Nowadays, a lot of tv networks still haven't given up on me. They still want to work with me again, trying to convince me to remake one of my past films. How about "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"? I haven't thought about it before, but if I remake "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", what happens if it's not as good as the original? Wouldn't that be troublesome? However, my husband's illness has convinced me otherwise. It made me think of the happy Xiao Yan Zi. Also made me think of that "Huang Ah Ma" character I made up from a historical figure. It especially reminded me of those happy times I experienced when I wrote my very first "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". It then occurred to me...!! What if I could write a better story this time, make the characters more alive, and at the same time change the mistake I made the first time (i.e shouldn't have killed off the Fifth's Prince's mother so early on). Or..better yet, if I could find that happiness for myself again, perhaps I can share that happiness with my younger fans and audiences!

    I started writing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" again in June of last year. My entire family lives once again. These last couple of years that were filled with boredom and sadness finally ended when I started writing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" again. Everyday, everyone was involved with this project, providing feedbacks and all the while laughing and having such a great wonderful time together. The script burned like fire and tea. An old friend, the president of Hunan tv network, knew that I was working again and wouldn't cease to call me. One day he said, "Everyone now knows that you''ve decided to work again and everybody is delighted to hear that. Many tv networks are fighting for the chance to collaborate with you. I suppose that you will reminisce on old times and not forsake our long-running collaboration by choosing some other network over ours, am I right?" I replied yes.

    I hope that when this new remake of Huan Zhu Ge Ge is televised, it can bring happiness to everyone!

    I like that piece of news on why Qiong Yao decide to remake this. Hopefully, there'd be more logic and a little more depth to each character and more comical scenes.

    I think the actress for Xiao Yan Zi is actually quite pretty with her big eyes. In fact, I feel she's more beautiful than Vicki, though not as cute or bright and doesn't have Vicki's unique star quality, but she feels more mature as an actress. This cast lack the star quality of the old version, but I feel their acting might be better and more acceptable.

    I hope in this version, Xiao Yan Zi's martial art skills would be better and she wouldn't pull off as many ridiculous stunts like the old version. I mean, the old version makes people really happy when watching it, but there're times when it is draggy, characters do ridiculous things that get audiences started and some of the things are done for plot's sake. I find Xiao Yan Zi too childish at times in the older one, just that because she's likeable, one can't fault her for too long. A character like her in real life is really impractical.

    Hope they put more intelligence, but still keep up the happiness, innocent and fun factor in this. Also add more depth to the plot.

    I'm actually looking forward to this remake, expecting a fresh perspective, new twists to the storyline and perhaps more relevance to how people today think and approach life, relationships etc. But IMO, Vicky 10 years ago looks more striking than the new actress. I wish they chose a different looking actress to make this remake seem more fresh and new.
