I tried CP1 back when I first was getting into cdramas and, sorry, couldn't stand it, despite liking the cast. Had to bail halfway through - for me, it had the same problem CP3 did with OTT and immaturity but the effects/production values weren't as good as it was older and Hu Ge couldn't act as well yet as it was his first starring role (not that either CP1 or CP3 required much acting).
I am a rabid Hu Ge fangirl (he's my favorite cdrama actor) but not even once I run out of subbed Hu Ge stuff, am I going back to CP1. Sorry. The OST really was gorgeous though.
Wash LOCH2008 TangRen? Because if so, with that and Young Warriors, that's at least two excellent dramas they made.
Re: BBJX. I just can't get excited for it. On paper, it sounds very much like my thing, but I watch the trailers and MVs and am left cold. Some of it is casting issues (I don't think Qing style flatters LSS and Nicky Wu doesn't work for me at all. He is literally the least appealing leading drama man I've ever seen except Ryu Shiwon circa 2002) but a lot of it is it hits a few pretty idiosyncratic personal peeves of mine in the story (hint - if the ending was different (not happier, just different from what it is in some specific ways), I'd tolerate it better).

But I am going to give it a chance anyway.
