    Now this is stupid....in this 2009 adaptation, the Monkey King is supposed to have had a love affair with the White Skeleton Demoness (Bai Gu Jing) in previous lives, hence the attraction (or dare I say Love at First Sight) shown in these photos:

    They need to learn from the previous adapation...GET OFF AND STAY OFF the romance thing between Monkey King and the White Skeleton Demoness. I still don't get why they keep trying to make a stupid love story out of everything , especially something classic as JTTW.

    I hope the romance story is just a rumor, b/c I was crossing my fingers that they wouldn't ruin the story w/ another useless romance story. I know audience members tend to be shallow and root for romantic development, but honestly, this is essentially a story about monks in pursuit of sutras. Yes, there are hurdles and tests along the way, but I am sure the original text is grand enough that they don't have to needlessly elaborate here and there. sheesh.
    How come most 江湖 (jiānghú) wanderers never worry about money? I wonder how a 大俠 (dàxiá) make a living...does meddling in people's business and righting wrongs pay well?

    The last mainland production of Xi You Ji was in 1986, this will be the first time in 23 years. The mainland production in 1986 was also the most successful out of all productions in recent years.

    Yes, both roles are played by the same actress. Not sure why though, but maybe the demoness took its human form in the likeness of the Queen for a reason? Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

    Originally the role was given to Liu Xiao Ching (wearing black in the photo - photo not from the series) but according to the article below, it was given to someone else.

    The original novel is really repetitive and quite dry. The relationship between the 4 main characters is not that developed at all. It's essentially a plot-driven novel and not a character-driven one. So I don't mind too much if the series tries to develop the characters more instead of solely concentrating on their quest for the sutras.
