Alec Su, Alyssa Chia, and Gao Yuan Yuan Reunite to Cameo in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 11, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 10, 2013

Reunions stemming from fond memories are the best. Even though people have aged, with it comes an appreciation for the moment in time long ago as well as the current state. Of Louis Cha‘s famous Condors trilogy, which is really two novels and then a third one loosely connected with the first two, my least favorite is the final book … Continue reading →

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Releases New Stills of Kim Ki Bum and Wallace Chung

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2012

I feel like I’ve fallen into a twilight zone and I can’t get out. In that weird place, a bunch of folks are cosplaying characters in the classic epic wuxia novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils by Louis Cha. Wallace Chung, having made a name for himself playing wimpy or douchey or emo wuxia heroes, has decided to wig out and don … Continue reading →

Official Eye-catching Stills of Wallace Chung and Jia Qing in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devil

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 18, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2012

Okay, I’m either getting easier to please or I’m just desperate for a good drama adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils since the last one I liked was the now completely out-dated 1982 TVB version. I’ve tried three times to watch the Zhang Ji Zhong 2003 version and I fall asleep each time. Maybe I need more cheesy in my wuxia. … Continue reading →

Wallace Chung Commences Filming for the Newest Drama Adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2012

Director Lai wasn’t joking when, after hitting ratings gold with his craptastic drama adaptation of the wuxia novel The Magic Blade, he announced that he was setting his sights even higher and remaking Louis Cha‘s masterpiece Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Apparently the ninja assassins I sent to kidnap him and brainwash this idea out of his head didn’t work, as the … Continue reading →

Wallace Chung and Kim Ki Bum Cast in Upcoming Drama Adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 9, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2012

I’m still shaking my head at the inexplicable success of The Magic Blade (Tian Ya Ming Yue Dao) this summer in reviving the pure wuxia genre in C-dramas, because that drama was so crack-a-doodle and nothing like its source material the Gu Long novel that the result was like watching William Hung sing “She Bangs” on American Idol. The collective psyche … Continue reading →
