YAAAAASSS TAO-CHAN, RISEEEE!!!!   

 

[Nintat]

I really hope this one turns out to be true, I like that character for him.

 

We often get news like this and then turns out to be false so I'll wait for confirmation from Tao's studio until I get excited about it.

Sun Wu Kong! I remeber watching the old version on TV. Nostalgia.

Was that the japanese version from the 70's?

[WON Hallyu]

Tao is playing the Monkey King?

 

Sun Wukong is short and monkey like while Tao is tall and lanky. hmmmm....

[h0neanias]

Was that the japanese version from the 70's?

 

No, it was the Chinese version from 1986.

lmao I'm currently supposed to be writing a thesis on Journey to the West the novel... I hope this gets true, Tao's power might actually make me get my lazy ass up and finish that goddamned thousand and four hundred pages long book...

No, it was the Chinese version from 1986.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha that looks similar to the one I watched which was called Monkey Magic

 

 

I loved everything about it, the bad dub, the cheesy 70's songs and the buddhist philosophy that was peppered throughout it.

As Sun Wu Kong? Is he crazy?

As Sun Wu Kong? Is he crazy? 

Yes. Also, why? and he doesn't cast himself for roles btw.

Yes. Also, why? and he doesn't cast himself for roles btw.

It's an extremely challenging role. The previous actors taking on the roles have been victims of harsh criticism.

Well, Tao gets harsh critiques even when he doesn't do anything so I don't see why he wouldn't take on a challenge because he may be criticized. Anyway, this is just a rumor so far.

[Tropical Storm]

So happy he confirmed the drama, Tao is slaying in all categories, movies, tv, music and drama!

Playing Wukong is like on the scale of playing Batman.

 

But Tao knows how to swing his stick so that's probably why they casted him. 

[vocabulary]

OMG Sun Wukong??

[Nintat]

I'm familar with the character and as I mentioned before I do like this character for Tao.

 

On another note, from what I've seen Tao's acting seems pretty good, so whatever, people will criticize either way, is not a matter.
