Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
New My Fair Princess is a 2011 Chinese television drama written by Taiwanese novelist Chiung Yao (with help by her assistant Huang Su-yuan) and produced by Hunan Broadcasting System. It is a remake of the 1998–1999 smash hit My Fair Princess, and directed by the same 2 directors from My Fair Princess III (2003). Akin to the original, main cast members were almost all unestablished, although lead actresses Li Sheng and Hai Lu were already 27 and 26 years old in 2010 when it was shot. Ruby Lin from the original as well as Qin Lan and Zang Jinsheng from My Fair Princess III made guest appearances. Despite a huge budget compared to the original, including over ¥4.5 million (roughly US$0.7 million) on costumes alone, the series received largely negative reviews after it was broadcast.
