In the scene where the former king sits in front of the setting sun, having a conversation with Yan Shi, saying, "You shouldn't have said that I dare not exhaust all my efforts, to devote myself with unwavering loyalty and sacrifice until death," and Yan Shi responds, "It was you who spoke insincerely"..."There's no need to dye it anymore," the camera then returns to the setting sun, and as it pans back, Yan Shi bows to the deceased king. In just these three minutes, despite the former king having pink hair, and Yan Shi having a comical nose and small glasses, there is still a sense of seriousness. This is the result of the combined efforts of the screenwriting, directing, and acting skills. These brief three minutes are endlessly captivating.

The Journey to the West" is truly an inexhaustible source of material. As a comedy, it lacks some punchlines, but fortunately, it tells a complete story. It presents the perspective of monsters discussing human affairs. The theme song, "Don't Panic, Great King," is incredibly heartfelt. Having goals gives us motivation, and working with people who are united and friendly brings the warmth of a "family." Looking forward to the second season! PS: Yan Peilü's portrayal of Tang Seng is hilariously broken-mouthed!

It's so good, it's so good, it's so good! I just took a quick glance and couldn't stop. I binge-watched it all the way to episode nine. How is it so hilarious? It didn't embarrass itself in the comedy competition. It has jokes, it has a story, it has logic, it has value, it's touching, and it incorporates current social issues. It's just unfair if it's not popular! If there are still people who won't watch it, let me secretly share a little insider information: the main character is a panda! (Actually, we knew that from the first episode.) Can anyone resist that? !

It's much better than "Young Master and Me," and it shares the same reputation as "81 Trials," both of which come from "Annoying Taibai Venus." With only fourteen episodes, it tells a single story while incorporating elements from "Chinese Tales - The Summer of Little Monsters." The story takes the best of the best, spanning a lifetime, and it's just a small event that isn't officially recorded in "Journey to the West," but it resonates with the Great Sage. "Master, it seems like there are no panda performances on this mountain.
Fatty People's choices are all suitable for their acting style, and the guest appearances are appropriate as well. "The Annual Joyful Gathering" is currently the best.

Haha, finally a TV series! Even though the scenes are currently a bit budget, the production design and makeup are there. Panda's sarcastic style remains, and all the guest appearances are just too adorable. I've watched up to episode 8, and some of the jokes are absolutely brilliant. For example, the panda. When I watched the first episode, I was wondering why it was a panda. Is it a play on words with "panda" in Chinese? But then in the episode where they used that joke, it was just amazing, haha. The finale was great, especially the big chorus!

The team-building aspect of the drama is the only saving grace. Without the last two episodes, the entire drama would have been a poorly made short series with hardly any comedic moments. At most, it would have had a theme song worth mentioning. However, thanks to the emotional climax in the final two episodes, the drama suddenly gained emotional depth and came alive. I believe the inspiration for the whole drama should have come from last year's popular animated film "Chinese Fables" and its segment "Summer of the Little Monsters.

Full of sincerity, when I think about how most of the characters in "One Happiness" have pursued their own paths and only Erxi hasn't been able to shine yet, I feel a bit regretful. Fortunately, this short drama once again immerses us in the story, reflecting various phenomena in our society. When we step away from our busy lives, we can relive that atmosphere of a big family where we protect and tease each other. I think the reason ensemble dramas are so popular is that they can embody themselves in ordinary people and magnify the unnoticed details of life. Despite the hardships of life, like eating dirt, a group of fools gathering together can lead to a contented and joyful existence.

It's still very enjoyable! There are plenty of jokes, but they never feel forced! Great King, don't panic. A monster has to live a more down-to-earth life, down to the nitty-gritty of daily necessities! Passion flows through my eyes! Change, ideals always lie deep within! I see you, you see me! Wake up and embrace passion! Don't worry, you have so many friends, and your goals aren't too grand! Together, let's revive Hua Neck Mountain!

I really, really love Sun Wukong. When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching Sun Wukong fight demons, and even as I grew up, that didn't change. Later, I discovered that the Monkey King was also a great king. Was he fighting against others on Flower Fruit Mountain?
Is Journey to the West a comedy or a tragedy? I felt so heartbroken after watching it. Was it because the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain lost their king, or was it because a working monkey couldn't return home?
Many people feel like they are Sun Wukong, living with ideals but constrained by constraints. In the end, they become just like everyone else. Perhaps we are just little monsters living in the village, fortunate enough to be born on Flower Fruit Mountain. But then, the Monkey King who raised you and picked peaches for you, the great king of the mountain, is no longer there when you grow up.

The background in the first episode felt too artificial, but once I accepted the premise, it wasn't bad. The ending, although a bit awkward, surprisingly made sense in dissuading Sun Wukong. The pacing is too slow, especially considering that each episode is only 20 minutes long. Couldn't they show some visuals of rebuilding the Flower-neck Mountain while singing in the extras? Having a black screen with lyrics is okay, but...
