Does anyone know where the 2010 series is available?
It features most of the same cast as this 1986-1999 series, and I would love to see it.
Would be very happy to buy a blu-ray if there was one.
Hoping to see it complete with the 3D sections intact.
Or direction to a better message board to ask about it would be welcome too.
Thanks!
It seems got bad evaluation in China in 2010.
shareIs very strange to me. My friend in China who liked the 1986-1999 show didn't even know about it, and said it must not have gone to national TV.
I thought just reuniting the cast would be enough for people to want to see it.
I'd still love to see, as I'm interested in the writing of the original novel as well.
I guess it it because the story is too famous in China and these years there are too many directors who want to rearrange the story and most of us get tired of the strange dramas.
By the way，only 103 users marked the drama in China's movie website DOUBAN while 60000 marked the 1986 edition，and 300k marked the 2015 cartoon Monkey King.
That mostly makes sense to me, as I know there are so many versions, and always new ones. It's very hard to find a specific version when I'm searching. Always wonder how each one is received in China.
But because the 1986 one was so popular, and Xiao Ling Tong's performance as Wukong being regarded as the best, I would have thought this 2010 series bringing the original cast back would get a lot more attention. I guess it just didn't work.
I still hope to find a good copy and see for myself.
The 1986 version is regarded as the best one in China.it's also strange that little of my friends had ever heard the 2010 one.I try to search it in the Internet but it seems failed...oh I cannot find it even in China...
shareSo strange.
I would think even if it was bad people would have wanted to see the cast back playing those characters again. I loved the 86-99 series.
I thought I'd found some of the episodes on YouTube a couple of years ago, but didn't watch them, and thought I'd find them in better quality sometime later. Because there are so many versions of Journey to the West, it makes it much harder to find the right one.
