Even though I’m supposed to be commenting instead of posting but I guess I will do the opposite this one time. Surprisingly, I have never thought of reading this mythical story, although I have seen this film several times and I loved it every time I watch it, specifically with the 1986 casts.
I was excited to read the first chapter because of my curiosity whether there was anything that did not happen in the film I saw. None of that occurred, so I guess I will hold on to my hope for the upcoming chapters. However, I really liked how Wu Cheng’en uses poems to make the reading more enjoyable. Unlike other poetry I have read, this type of poetry to me was really fun to read and easy to understand. I am looking forward to read the next chapters as it sometimes brings back some memories of my childhood. I still remember how my friends and I were having a hard time deciding which role of the characters in this film each of us would play after every episode, as everybody was fighting to be the protagonist, the Monkey King.
