Lol. So many monkey kings running around in 2016 and 2017, both on the big and small screen. Here’s another drama related to Sun Wu Kong. Hong Kong actor Raymond Lam will take on the titular role while Japanese actor, Akanishi Jin, joins the production as probably the most handsome Er Lang Shen ever. Rising actress Jiang Meng Jie will play Holy Mother and Kenji Wu rounds out the cast as Tian Peng aka Pig. The Legends of Monkey King (大泼猴) follows a mortal man who accidentally time-travels to the past and finds himself the Monkey King. Not willing to accept a fate forced on himself, he sets out to the change the course of the future. At least this one has a twist in it.

It's like the best looking JTTW-related cast ever 

 

No offense to Dicky Cheung or Wayne Lai

They need to stop with the Monkey King remakes. There are so many other stories to tell.

What!!!!!!!!? Not much familiar with this story only that it centers around Wukong. So Bakanishi is the one of the main lead then? Cool.

Totally never imagined I'd live to see the day someone from Johnny's doing a C-drama

But he isn't with Johnny's anymore.

He is still from Johnny's at least in my world lol. I never felt he was able to distance himself from Johnnys - his music is cool but lacks public appeal and he himself really dwindled in terms of fame. Jin was such a loss, he would have been the perfect idol if only he wanted it.
