Well, that probably woke you up for a Saturday morning of collective sobbing.
Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. I have been posting great casting news, this one might burn…
- Yes. This is another drama adaptation of popular Chinese novels of the same name written by Tang Qi Gong Zi. If only I could read and understand Chinese texts!
- Not just any role, he has been offered the lead role – Dong Hua Di Jun. One of the oldest five great gods/kings of Heaven. The character has silver hair and prefers purple robes. According to an inside source, Jiro is reviewing the scripts. Possible candidates for the leading lady, Bai Feng Jiu, is Angel Liu. Her character is the future monarch of QingQiu. By chances, she is saved by Dong Hua and begins the agonizing quest of loving him, stalking him, and even transforming into a fox to be his pet. O_O Yea…… Did I read this right?
- Fans of the novels are outraged by the possible abomination of their beloved deity.
- Funny thing that I read: Yu Zheng was once invited to be the producer/screenwriter but he did not take up the offer. On the other hand, his dramas are THE platforms to stardom…..We can’t deny that.
- A humble yet talented fan who goes by the name of hamster428 has translated and converted the novel into eBook-friendly formats for all fans. Find it here. Holy Krap. The definition of a true fan. Thou art no hamster!
- This is ALL RUMORS FOR NOW. Take it as a pound of salt in your morning coffee. 😉

Dude, I love this book/series so much. Di Jun is like the epitome of what you would look in a guy… he is a god… LITERALLY. I liked him so much I ended up helping out on the translating team (the rockharlequin in the translation bits is me XD) and to just do this to him… it’s like taking my baby away and raising him to be a crack addict T_T
And as much as I love Jiro, he is not even close to what Di Jun is described as.
I’m against most c-novel novel adaptations from the start but this…. this just crosses the line… at least Eddie Peng as Huo Qu Bing was seeable but this is just some crazy alread-happened trainwreck that they’re trying to salvage without rhyme or reason. I’m surprised Tang Qi gave them the rights.

This exactly.
Seriously, hell to the eff NO to Jiro as Donghua Dijun (LIKE WTF MAN ARE THESE GUYS ALL ON CRACK? Have they even READ the books???)
And I actually like Jiro – it’s just that he’s not suited for stuff that isn’t modern.

Nooooooooo…Jiro needs to stay a million miles off anything that isn’t modern. I thought Tangren were planning on a movie off this novel, either way I really hope Jiro isn’t cast (no offence to any of his fans).

Ladies, breathe! Still a rumor! Don’t have a heart attack on me now. 🙂
Jiro’s fans probably won’t be offended b/c his image doesn’t fit with the role to begin with. I hope!
@Millie, I haven’t heard a thing about it broadcasting date. Seems like it’ll be shelved indefinitely.

Thank you for the translation link, I look forward to reading it.
This is definitely off topic but does anyone know when Liu Shishi’s drama “Angel’s Happiness” will broadcast? I love the original drama it’s adapted from.

HI THERE! I’m a new reader form your blog.
thank you for your new updates and everything.
I read this novel from hamster like two months ago, but im seirously sad if Jiro will be playing Dong Hua. He is easily one of my favorite from the 3L3W series. I dont think Jiro is capable of making Dong Hua character comes to life.
Maybe Wu Zun if he accepts this role… but if not then.. idk. 🙁
