Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2019″ Unveils Promising Cast The sixth official remake of Jin Yong’s (金庸) classic wuxia novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils <天龍八部> have released a set of new character stills to give fans an exclusive sneak peek of what to expect in the upcoming year. The novel, which was first published as a serial for Hong Kong’s Ming Pao in 1963, follows three protagonists who eventually become sworn brothers as their stories intertwine. The novel was first adapted into a film in 1977 called The Battle Brothers. In 1982, TVB adapted the novel into a two-part epic television drama, which starred Bryan Leung (梁家仁) as Kiu Fung, Kent Tong (湯鎮業) as Duen Yu, Felix Wong (黃日華) as Hui-juk, and Idy Chan (陳玉蓮) as Wong Yu-yin. In 1997, TVB adapted the novel again, this time with Felix Wong returning as Kiu Fung. Benny Chan (陳浩民) starred as Duen Yu, Louis Fan (樊少皇) as Hui-juk, and Carman Lee (李若彤) as Wong Yu-yin. The upcoming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils will be the sixth television remake. It stars Taiwanese actor Tony Yang (楊祐寧) as Kiu Fung, with rookie actor Bai Shu (白澍) as Duen Yu, Zhang Tianyang (張天陽) as Hui-juk, and Hong Kong actress Janice Man (文詠珊) as Wong Yu-yin. Su Qing (蘇晴) and Viva He (何泓姗), both who respectively played villains in The Story of Yanxi Palace <延禧攻略> and Ruxi’s Royal Love in the Place <如懿傳>, will portray the sisters Ah-chu and Ah-tsi, respectively. Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is currently shooting in Dali City, Yunnan Province. Check out these character stills below! www.jaynestars.com/news/demi-gods-and-semi-devils-2019-unveils-promising-cast/

Actually only one from Taiwan, the Qiao Feng. The WYY is from Hong Kong.
It's the first time they are revealing their costumes and stills, although they're not big pictures.

started watching eps on YT. casting for QF/XF and DY not bad-- QF/XF actor has a presence and not a bad actor. DY actor doesn't portray him as an idiot. MRF actor looks princely but lacks presence. poor choices of dali king and his brother. and this is the ugliest, poutiest WYY ever. MWC also leaves much to be desired in the looks department. XZ seems ok, but of the 3 male leads, his is the easiest role to play. will be interested to see how the MRB & XYS casting is like.

Rain Lau portrays Ruan Xing Zhu here, the mother of Ah Zhi whom she portrayed in the 1997 TVB version. She's a lot older and almost unrecognizable. I always wondered what happened to her after she left TVB to Ricky Wong's now defunct TV station.

have anyone watched Demi Gods and Semi Devils 2021? Tencent Wetv have released up to 40+ episodes. i think it is better than demi gods and semi devils 2013 but the women / heroines are below pretty standard especially Wang Yuyan many subplots and extra scenes if you want to see some new pictures, can be found here: Gallery image Demi Gods and Semi Devils 2021

It's indeed much better than DGSD 2013, seriously, 2013 is the WORST adaptation ever. Some quick review: 1. QF, DY, XZ : they're all pretty decent in acting. 2. The costumes are pretty good, the fighting scenes, set and props are all very decent. 3. WYY is too plastic looking just like what siuyiu pointed out earlier. And his foundation is so thick, and sometimes melting on her face. Gosh! 4. Madame Ma use a perfect actress for this role. The actress is beautiful and so b*tchy 5. The scene between XZ and Princess Xi Xia is very WEIRD 6. the 4 evils were not impressive at all. The old versions are more memorable. That's all I can remember for now
