The definition of a remake should be the recreation of the original work while remaining faithful to its essence, infused with the spirit of the times, and transformed into a film or television production.
However, this web drama adaptation of "The Hunter" did not respect the author's opinions and took unauthorized liberties in the adaptation process. The portrayal of Song Yang, Song Xingchen, and other characters deviated completely from the original work.
This is not a remake; it's a reckless alteration! We also hope that "The Hunter" can be adapted into a great web drama that evokes memories of our youthful days, reminding us of the anticipation and emotional connection we had with the original novel.
However, we categorically reject this web drama's attempt to evoke our nostalgia, and we strongly disapprove of its approach: disrespecting the original author and making unauthorized changes. In my opinion, such behavior seriously infringes upon the interests and sentiments of the author and the fans of the original work.
This type of production is insufficient to convince or gain recognition from the general public.
You must read the novel to understand the content of this drama! The original work is quite amazing, especially the plot where he confronts the Jiangbei Slashing Blade organization, which is even more captivating. The adaptation seems to have deviated a bit.
His classmate turned into a chubby uncle, and Song Xingchen loves drinking coffee. Also, these 12 episodes lack a proper beginning and ending. They only adapted a portion of the novel's storyline. If you haven't read the novel, watching this drama might leave you feeling confused and bewildered.
