Reading the comments, I’ve realized that many viewers perceive Prince Jing as slow and stupid, which I definitely disagree. He may be emotional and hot tempered when it comes to the people he cares about, but apparently he’s smart enough to rule a country (based on what I’ve heard about NIF 2, he seems to have done the job just fine)? What is your opinions on this?
I don’t think so at all! I think he was just largely indifferent to power, and so he did certain things that would anger or annoy those in power, which would seem stupid politically I guess? So in addition to being highly emotional like you said, he just didn’t care about anything but his principles. Principles that I think would make him a good leader.
Thank you, I was a bit frustrated when comments there kept using 50 shades of the word “stupid” to describe him :)) You’re right about him valuing his moral principles more than anything else, that’s the essence of his character, the whole point of MCS’s grand plan!
I haven’t read comments outside of DB, and I have never seen viewers here say that he is slow and stupid. Yes, Water Buffalo was principled and uninterested in political intrigues, but that doesn’t mean he was stupid. On the contrary, he was prudent. If Mei Changsu saw that as king material who are we to disagree?
Jingyang doesn’t show up in NIF2. We only know that he did a god job, but nothing more.
Yes, we should not disagree with MCS :)) I’m so glad to know that not everyone doubt his intelligence.
I haven’t watched NIF2, but I know that he has already passed and did a good job during his reign. Do you know that even the author Hai Yan, while writing the novel, had to speak up to defend Prince Jing herself to the readers? I was quite hilarious, you can feel the frustration in her words!

Seeing some beanies starting to watch NIF on the fan wall, I was inspired to re-watch the drama on viki. I have a question for fellow NIF fans below.
