    LOL. Hopefuly he's lying and it's a secret surprise! Hey hey, I can dream, can't I???

    In any case, I don't care if 13th Prince is the supposed "bad guy" in here. He's still cool (and very handsome) cuz he's got brains and loyalty. (@xiaolong, i guess he was kind of "scheming" as in he did have brains to plan . But I guess my main point was that he wasn't the backstabbing for himself type of scheming ). Funny thing is that I was reading the baidu boards a couple of days ago to try and catch some spoilers and some of those girls already had Yuan Hong listed as their ideal 13th for a while (but then again, I think they pretty much threw every actor/actress for every character for trial). LOL.

    There will be two "camps" - 4th Prince's camp (supported by the ever loyal 13th), 8th Prince's camp (who supports 14th to be emperor). 4th Prince's camp eventually wins, as 4th will become the famous Emperor Yongzheng. Ruo Xi will be in a love triangle with 4th and 8th, but marries 14th though she forms a close understanding with 13th.

    You're right Ying Ying.

    I read on Baidu that 13th Prince is the firm favourite character among BBJX readers because of his unstinting loyalty to 4th. In the story, 13th's real mother died young and he was raised by 4th/14th's mother. Kangxi didn't care for 13th because his real mother was not favoured. It was 4th Prince who cared and protected 13th like his own son. Hence, 13th grew up to became 4th's closest ally and confidante.

    However, since 4th Prince is the villain in the book, 13th will also be villainous in Ruo Xi's eyes. But readers still think he's cool because unlike the others who schemes for selfish reasons, 13th schemes for the country's sake - he genuinely loves 4th and believes him to be the best emperor for the country. When 4th seized the throne upon Kangxi's death, 13th raised his army to protect 4th against 14th's returning army, and eventually imprisoned 14th and 8th.

    Well, I've always been fascinated by Yongzheng Wang Chao, so I'm looking forward to this different presentation of history.

    Actually from Bu Bu Jing Xin's Baidu tieba (http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%B2%BD%B2%BD%BE%AA%D0%C4), readers are more fascinated by the princes. Ruo Xi is interesting bcos of her interactions with the princes. She's a 25-year-old city girl who gets transported back in time and finds herself as a character in 8th Prince's household. She will be the narrator of the story who presents the reader with her observations of history and frustration at not being able to change fate. The princes are attracted to Ruo Xi bcos she has the benefit of hindsight knowledge to predict where their actions will lead them and provide intelligent analysis of the political situations.

    So Ruo Xi = beautiful + intelligent. A natural magnet for men.

    I would say in "Gong", Yu Zheng put a lot more emphasis on the love stories. Bu Bu focuses much more on the princes and their politics.

    Interestingly, readers say it is 13th who understands Ruo Xi the most (十三是几个阿哥里最能理解若曦的人。他们彼此互相欣赏,视为知己,不掺杂任何杂质。). By nature, he is self-sacrificing and upright, but ultimately will stand by his loyalty to 4th to the extent of carrying out malicious actions against 8th and 14th, which will frustrate Ruo Xi.

    Well, Yelu Xie was voted the handsomest guy in Young Warriors even though he's not a Yang brother. In Bu Bu, 13th is definitely the handsomest prince even though he's going to be a baddie and won't romance Ruo Xi.

    Definitely no contest...

    I was reading some of the spoilers on Baidu and it seems that
    click to show/hide spoilers
    Ruo Xi eventually falls for 4th after 8th rejects her in pursuit of politics. Ruo Xi ends up hating 4th for his harsh punishments to 8th, 14th, & co., but it didn't seem like he was the supposed "bad guy".

    Oh really? Well, I guess all the princes are very grey characters then.

    But honestly, I wish Ruo Xi went for a single guy. 4th and 8th are married! 13th was single bcos he was jailed for so long. But for course, in history 13th eventually married Lu Wu.

    Look, they are taking publicity shots of Shi Shi with Nicky and Kevin!! Gosh, I'm SOOOO not looking forward to her love triangle with two 40-somethings. I much prefer to see her entangled with Yuan Hong and Lin Gengxin.

    Well, I haven't read the book, but I read on tieba that modern day Ruo Xi is 25 and when she travels back in time, she's like 16? I mean, why couldn't she go for 13th and 14th - single guys, military men (so definitely lean and buff), and not old enough to be her dad?!!

    Disappointing male cast compared to Young Warriors. Only appealing guy to me here is Yuan Hong.

    To their credit, Nicky Wu and Kevin Cheng are not bad looking guys (even at age 40). They're kind of "babyfaced" so they can probably pass off as early to mid 30s with good make up. Liu Shi Shi can look pretty mature, too. So, if you really wanted to, you can suppress your thoughts on the real age of the characters and it won't be THAT bad . The only beef I have with Nicky Wu is that he is so short compared to the others.

    i agree completely. well, on the nicky wu part anyway. i'll save judgement on kevin cheng for later when i see more of him
    but i do think LSS's makeup could us a little work, especially in the costume fitting pictures. she looks so pale and washed out i like the way her makeup is from the press conference. although that could be a bit too heavy for a costume drama, but still. it makes her look more mature.

    They said it's the lighting at the photo shoot...but they did add more make-up on her for filming. Here is LSS on the first day of filming.

    I'm not practising ageism or anything, but if they had really great acting skills, I'm fine with it. I like Nicky as a Little Tiger, but I didn't care for him in Liang Zhu - it was Charlie Yeung's screen presence and acting which lifted his role. Kevin pretty much spoilt Kam Sam Kai for me and I haven't forgiven him for that.

    Well, at the press thingy, Shi Shi was wearing what looked like 3-inch heels so she looked tall between the two old men. Nicky has respectable height of 175cm. Kevin's official height is 180cm which is BS bcos Yuan Hong (at 181cm) towers over him.

    Nicky looks quite uncle-ish in the pic above, isn't it?

    they definitely don't look bad... but i have never been too fond of Kevin's acting, it's just passable in my eyes =/ and IMO he never did good in any ancient dramas before even though he haven't been in a lot, but maybe there's a reason for that...

    Nicky is okay to me, a lot better than Kevin in ancient dramas
