Counting on you for the rant/rave! XD
wish someone would have translated/subtitled the videos, but the trailer looks good. does this mean the monkey king was once human? I didn’t think that was how the story went but since I can’t really understand mandarin, not quite sure what the trailer is saying.
looking forward to seeing the show, that is, if it ever gets subtitled.
have a lovely day.
just remember I saw another version in which the monkey king was born out of a rock, I guess I remember that the most & forgot the original story, which I wish someone had written in english and that those terribly translated versions.
In the original story, he was born from a stone, yes.
This one is a different spin on the story.
me here thinking at first it is a movie? then see 45 episodes. It’s a tv drama??????
45 eps of Akanishi?
TAKE ME TAKE ME. I’M READY!!!
*wanna know who’s the first Japanese actor in a tv drama in China tho.*
What a gorgeous cast!! I can’t wait for 2018~~
