In terms of play, although there is nothing too innovative in the design of the show, it is still worth watching. Different from movies that emphasize visual effects, regardless of Chinese and foreign, even if they are labeled as "action", most TV dramas still focus on the interaction between characters. Although there are dramas, they can really allow the audience to fight the dramas. Not many people chase down this TV show. In other words, in general TV dramas, literary and martial arts, the audience tends to watch the latter more casually, or more inclined to skip forward and skip the latter. And this drama can be regarded as a wonderful work. It is reasonable to say that the literary drama of the TV drama is bad, and the audience dare not have any hope on the martial arts. They should just abandon the drama, but this drama has turned the tide through the drama. Although it cannot be said that the show already has a movie-like fighting scene, it is at least much cooler than the fighting scenes in the recently released action movies such as 007 and Hauling Express. Of course, this is nothing to be proud of. However, the most important thing is that it is Wu Yanzu who started beating people. This made people willing to give the play a chance at the beginning, and then saw that the fight was quite exciting, so I watched it one after another.
Many viewers reported that this TV series borrowed the title of "Journey to the West", but the content has nothing to do with "Journey to the West" at all. I think most people may have been misled by "Wu Yanzu's character is adapted from Monkey King" at the beginning of the show's promotion, and some are preconceived. The one who really corresponds to Monkey King in the play should be the middle two boy MK. Isn’t his name the abbreviation of Monkey King? So who is Daniel Wu playing? Let's look at the poster of this play again: Daniel Wu is dressed in red and riding a motorcycle. Who in "Journey to the West" likes to wear red, looks good, can play very well, and also uses two wheels to travel? That's right, Wu Yanzu's role is not Monkey King, but Ne Zha.
...... The last paragraph is a silly break, don't take it seriously. MK is the Monkey King. It's certainly true, but Wu Yanzu certainly can't be Nezha's soy sauce role. MK has begun to receive Wu Yanzu's training, so of course Wu Yanzu should be MK's "master"-Tang Sanzang. This can also be seen from his superb femininity in the play. The banshees in "Journey to the West" all want to talk to Tang Seng so as to get his [beep] liquid and live forever. Except for "Journey to the West", they can I have never heard of when Brother Monkey became so popular with women. When it comes to Tang Sanzang, many people think of waste wood. But don't forget that the historical Master Xuanzang was a strong and pious fierce man, otherwise how could he sneak into India by himself. In fact, if the scope of reference is not limited to the novel "Journey to the West", but the historical figures of the early Tang Dynasty who lived by Master Xuanzang are also taken into consideration, the character prototype of this play will be easy to find. Much. In "Journey to the West" Tang Seng is Emperor Taizong’s imperial brother, and in this play Sonny is Quinn’s "Regent" (I always think it’s a bit strange to translate as the regent, but it’s actually a position similar to the head of the chief), so Kui En's prototype should be Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Indeed, Li Shimin is one of the most accomplished rulers in the history of China and the world, but he has no blood on his hands, or he scared himself into sleep at night in "Journey to the West". I heard about Mahayana Buddhism. Dafa is good, so Ma Liuer sent Tang Sanzang to learn from him and keep him safe. Kui En's son who always had a bad face was naturally Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and Kui En's little wife Jie De, who had a leg with his son, should be Wu Zetian. Interrupting here, I found that Jade's dressing style is a bit like Margaret in "Game of Thrones", and the role of Little Rose is also the widow of the previous king and married again to the new king, following history. Wu Zetian on the previous page is a bit similar, except that the two kings Margaret married are brothers, so it seems that the taste is not so heavy.
So far, the beautiful widow who has appeared as a villain most of the time, her scissor army is all women, so she corresponds to the daughter king who rules the daughter country. In the third episode, MK stole a scripture with Azilah symbols from her. Later, when he showed it to Sonny’s girlfriend, one of the pages seemed to have a lotus flower, and the lotus flower is a symbol of Buddhism. , So Azira is the Western Paradise in "Journey to the West". There are a total of seven lords. I guess everyone should have one thing with the Azira symbol on it, but the one from the castle is in Sonny's hands. And MK's mission is to gather these seven things, and then be able to summon sister Guanyin to come out and realize his wish.
Finally, the super-popular Marshal Canopy, whose nirvana is turned into food (just kidding, puff~), seems to have used his nirvana that can only be performed once in a lifetime at the beginning.

Add a little more evidence after watching the whole season :
1. About Jie De: Poisoning himself to frame Quinn's wife is the same as Wu Zetian strangling his daughter to frame the Queen and Queen. It's a pity that Quinn's son didn't die in the last episode. I thought that both father and son would be wiped out in this episode, and then she will directly act as the hostess and begin to give orders in the next season.
2. Sonny was picked up from the river bank to adopt him when he was a child, while the Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West" is "Jiang Liuer", and the two are of the same origin. In any case, Sonny is unlikely to be Monkey King, because things like birth are often closely related to this person's attributes. If Sonny is Monkey King, then his origin is either related to stone or fire. It should never be related to water that can overcome fire.
