THE TV SHOW HAD SO MUCH SOUL!!! This was 1980s China, completely impoverished and they still managed to make it and many parts of poor Asian countries had this as their childhood show
The 80s Chinese TV shows were great. They were all made with dedication and heart, with the director and actors all being paid no more than factory workers. It is an era before commercialisation. They made shows that were true masterpieces. The Dream of Red Mansion was an even bigger master piece that has not been surpassed to this day, with attempts of remakes with budgets hundreds, thousands times, but come not even close. Money doesn't buy soul, and star culture in many ways contaminated the pure dedication and love of acting of the past. The super rich stars today just cannot act the same way as the humble actors of the past. It is more about personal identity and face recognition today, rather than actual acting.
Slight error: the Tiger Vanguard in the TV series should be the father, the original Tiger Vanguard that we fought in Kingdom of Sahali and not the present one drinking the blood from the blood pool.
true, the tiger in the TV series should be the one we met when travel to the past, he then captured Wukong master, but lost to a duel with Zhu Bajie and died, left 2 sons behind. After that Yellow Wind Sage then get tamed by bodhisattva Lingji then betrayed him under Celestial court's influence and back to his former place. The 2 tiger sons seek revenge on him think he should take responsibility for their father death but they lost, 1 joint him and became Tiger Vanguard while 1 ran into the village and became Mad Tiger
It's funny, I remember in one of my Chinese/Literature(语文) textbook accessories during high school, there was indeed a reading comprehension article that talked about how the Journey to the West (the continued season from 1999) TV show's special effect was so bad compared to Star Wars (most likely The Phantom Menace).
If you read the autobiography by the director you'll know this show barely got any budget, the production company only willing to give them one camera for the entire show and what's worse that camera is the one that no other team wants cause of it's poor quality.
Due to the lack of funding and limitations of visual technology. All characters from the original TV series (even monsters) are played by humans. Therefore taking human form, which is why they look so funny. I'm glad we finally have a modern sequel to see the accurate appearance of those characters
The text description of Sun Wukong has no skin, bones grow on the outside, and meat grows on the inside. He is very short and full of fangs, like a monster in hell.
Red boy in game: i will have my revenge (Linkin Park music plays in the background) Red boi in tv series: mom forcing me to have a haircut. I will never got to the barber again
This is the 1986 version and is the best and most original one of them all. You guys should watch it if you want to fully understand the story of Journey To The West novel ^^
@@psnfailout000 For example, Sanzang's image in the original book is not so kind, he is a nagging old monk a lot of the time, and it is not until the second half of the adventure that he begins to complete his transformation. But the TV series is filmed in the form of a unit drama, and it is necessary to ensure that each episode has a similar viewing experience, so Sanzang has been a good master from the beginning. The specific example is that Sun Wukong's tiger skin skirt was made by himself in the original book. But in the TV series, it was Sanzang who made it for him
@@psnfailout000 This is a very good definition of what "accurate" is. "Journey to the West" is not a bible or other mythological story, it is a novel in itself, and its predecessor is a series of plays. "Journey to the West" has been consumed by popular culture since it was created, and it is a cultural product of that era, a consumer product. Stories are there, but every era needs a vehicle to tell those stories in a "modern" way. Because there is no such thing as the most accurate version, it doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. In the 21st century so far, the game is the best , last century was the 1986 TV series
To be fair the game focuses on the serious aspect while the series took on the mischievous wukong that he is. The first movie mix both of wukong's humour and seriousness
Journey to the West is the TV childhood's series of every kids in whole Asia. Director is a female, it was filmed by ONLY ONE cameraman - the director's husband. The intro, outro was written by handwriting cuz they didn't had enough money to bring that on computer:) each of the actor, actress (even the 4 main) had at least 4-5 other roles in that film. So fvcking hard and poor in the vfx and the whole crew but they did a masterpiece. So iconic that from the 1986 till now, there is no remake one better than it, even it has a better vfx
The first Journey to the West Novel came out in 1500s and had remained a popular and even rivals many video games and TV series today. So this IP had been popular for at least 500 years, which is pretty insane.
Some people have not idea how GOOD the series actually is. Special effects are decent for its age and the choreography and camera work are just amazing, actors are flawless. In former Czechoslovakia this was extremely popular.
some characters in tv series are really realistic. you know, not all evil people look like they're crazy ugly and demonic. you get the raw humanities in tv series. They can be kind to you on surface and constantly smilng. sometimes in the series it's really funny and after laughing you suddenly realize it's creepy and get chills down your spine.
The whiteclad noble in Black Myth isn’t the same character. The original one died after he got struck by Wukong’s golden staff. In Black Myth, that snake guy was one of Erlang’s subordinates, and the replacement for the original whiteclad noble.
Yeah in the novel he and the Lingxuzi both took one hit each, and both got brain and blood spewing out (weirdly described in such a nonchalant way too), Guanyin was like "Cruel monkey what on Earth has gotten into you?!"
The 1986 version had the smallest budget out of the CCTV Classic Chinese novel adaptations (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of Red Chambers & Water Margin). They were given only one camera that didn't even focus properly and they had no wirework because no one in the HK film industry would help. Luckily, the director was very dedicated to the mission of faithfully adapting the story and the cameraman was her husband. It took something like 6 years to make and resulted in many injuries and cast changes. The result is something that exceeds its budget limitations and by far the best cast performances (especially Wukong) out of all the adaptations.
This TV series deserves a remake, just like BBC Doctor Who. The original version was very classic, but due to production costs and the technology at the time, many effects now appear somewhat rudimentary and comical. It would be great if they could create a new version, keep all the soundtrack and settings, and recreate the series in the style of The Lord of the Rings.
I would agree, but like lord of the rings, the actors and director of this version set a very high bar. There has been MANY remixes of Journey to the West and Monkey King IP, but non was received well compared to this version. Partially it's costuming and acting, but the other would be the screenwriting and the not respecting the source material when adapting. The actor plays Wukong to the T, and other versions seem to just be attempts to replicate his version (kind of like a robin Williams Genie situation)
We've actually remade it many times. But modern culture in the 21st century has ruined every version - and it feels like the first and fifth seasons of Game of Thrones
i still think the reason why 1986 show is the most popuar adaptation is that the show was firstly aired on national television. Alot of special affect, audio design, costume design and so on is pretty damn outdated by comparsion to the current adaptations.
Special effects may become outdated, but the performance plot and music will always be passed down Wukong used its theme song for the final boss battle
no, it's iconic cause the acting was top tier. no one captured Wukong whimsy and just being a monkey as well as Liuxiaolingtong - they call came of as annoying especially Dicky Cheung's.
it's still the only series to nearly adapt the entire novel . Other versions omitted a lot of parts or just straight up changed or added shits . And of course the best portrayal of Sun Wukong of all time .
Eehh... Current adaptations don't look much less outdated, if at all, IMO, with their shitty CGI that doesn't remotely hold up. I realy wish someone would adapt it with modern technology/budget in a way that's actually convincing (or just have it be animated).
The series introduced me to sun wukong character few years later i watched Dragon ball only to find out Goku's based on the stone monkey after seeing their similarities😂. The series is goated, i recommend anyone should watch it that's if ur interested in Wokung story
Ik new fans are looking at this and am wondering wtf is some of these stuff. But you’d almost have to watch it when it just came out. There’s a reason why this IS the favorite version to JTTW to long time fans, because even though budget is low, they did everything to make it as nice as possible. Lore wise it also as close as it can get to being correct too.
It is a powerful game engine like the Unreal Engine 5 gives the chinese game devs far more creative freedom than the traditional film making technique that allows them to recreate and reinvent the visual of this chinese mythological world. it is a breathe of fresh air on an IP that has hundreds of movies and tv shows already
Journey to the west have a bunch of iteration my favourite is from 1996 version even after watching all journey to the west even movie that coming out today
I would like to bring to the attention of all wakong lovers to look into an old unknown game for the psvita called soul sacrifice. If you loved the lore of wukong you will love that story as well.
back then people were more traditional, the girls doesn't want to show their bellies on camera, even tho it's a close up, so some of the guys on set did the scene.
Yes, I read the entire report. In the 1980s, China was still very conservative. A singer was sentenced to eight years in prison for having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. A woman was sentenced to death for having sex with 10 men. Now it seems that the entire society at that time was really too conservative!
I watched that show since I was a kid, and it became my childhood, I know that in the west very few people know about this movie, after learning that the movie was made a long time ago, In 1986, technology was not as developed as it is now, so it could only be done manually or simply, however if you want to understand the game's plot, you should watch the movie to understand better.
1:08 I think that may be a mistake. Whiteclad Noble wasn't a character in original story. The one who was on the other hand is Guangmou which was that snake guy you fight before the Noble. 1:30 Likeweise, actual Tiger Vanguard is guarding the entrance to Fubane Area in Secret Chapter. The blooddrinker is his son
Kang Jinlong, the goddess of spring in Chinese mythology, represents the beginning of plant growth in spring. When spring comes in China, there will be thunder and rain, so the goddess of spring in the game will be accompanied by thunder and lightning. Idun, the goddess of spring in Norse mythology, is in charge of spring and golden apples. Her husband is the god of poetry Bragi. Both goddesses represent spring, but they have their own characteristics. From the perspective of humanities, this is a different understanding of spring by two civilizations. Of course, I am just popularizing mythology In Chinese mythology, gods also correspond to the stars in the sky. Kang Jinlong represents the second star of China's Kangxiu, which is a star in the Boötes constellation understood by Europeans and Americans. It is a star in Virgo. The address is this star en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota_Virginis
1:17 This is wrong. Whiteclad Noble in game is one of the brothers of Erlang. The figure in TV show is 灵虚子, which is a wolf; in game he is the hanged dead body nearby the third bell. The boss Lingxuzi or 凌虚子 is like a successor of 灵虚子 (you see their name is similar but different in one character).
Sorri to bust your bubble but Wu Kong is not mythology he is worshipped and have shrines all across Asia !!! People pray to him for he has become enlightened and became a Buddha !!! So please don't insult his origin by calling mythology !! To many Asian people he truly existed !!
@@tonyawillams9442 Christianity, Judaism and Islam is also mythology to people who does not believe in any religion. Mythology is a sacred matter, there is no insult using that term. Theology is just mythology that some people believe real.
@@klovershows3823 Monkey King is based on a true story of a famous monk, Xuan Zang of the Chinese Tang Dynasty (602-664). After a decade of trials and tribulations, he arrived on foot to what is today India, the birthplace of Buddhism. Journey to the West is a fictional story !!! Big difference !!
I still prefer the tv series, it’s just more funny and made lots of peoples day, some characters in the game to me doesn’t really look like how it is supposed to and how they are supposed to act and talk.
well for the most part the TV series had also budget restrictions (literally only had ONE camera while filming), and it also had to be family friendly. it's still loyal to the source material, but given the novel is very episodic and sort of lighthearted for the most parts, BMW serves as a sequel to that story, and as a darker alternate universe of the JTTW lore (sort of canon divergent)
The novel is a satire of the real empire. This is a novel set in the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, Journey to the West is about going to India to get the real Buddhist scriptures. Another meaning is that this is a team doing something very difficult. The things they encountered were used to express the dark side of society at that time. In the novel, the team is about to reach the last stop, the Buddhist center, which is on a mountain. Unbelievably, the monsters at the foot of this mountain are very powerful and cruelly slaughter humans. The novel describes a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Even Sun Wukong felt creepy.
TV series had a few dark moments and knew when to take things seriously (except for the whole Bull Demon King family thing - sure, it was his fault for leaving his wife for a fox concubine but Wukong and team made it worse by getting his son enslaved by Guanyin and by disrespecting his wife and concubine multiple times. It's no wonder why the Bull is so depressed in the game lmao)
@@李四-z4d and the people who committed wrongs and evil things get away with it because they know powerful people in high places. Like how the demons just get away because they are the mounts of the gods.
If someone make a Journey to the west TV show, using modern visual effects, and doesn't deviate from the original novel, how cool would that be? That would be an other Lord of the rings to say the least.
Maybe ppl in different cultyure don't know how huge Journey to the West is in China. Consider a culture with at least a billion ppl and over 400years most of them heard of or watched a version of JttY somewhere when they grow. Think of it as King Arthur or Hercules in China. It's a strange feeling to see JttY finally get a huge spotlight on the internet. The Internet connects us and sometimes brings us huge surprises and it's beautiful.
Koreans gon be hella mad, cuz we be stealing Korean culture, but little did they know, the guy who wrote journey to the west is 500 years older than Korea💀
@@NicoGV well, after blackmyth wukong came out, they simply said the arthor of jttw is a Korean, and all the buildings in blackmyth are Korean buildings, like we’re all just here enjoying the game, come on Korea.
Rakshasa is originally a branch of the demon clan, and the game is a true restoration of it. The 1986 TV series was for children and should not scare children, so he did not look like a demon king in 1986.
The game is causing me cognitive dissonance. How the characters look from the TV series are what I believed they should look like since childhood, I’m having a hard time adjusting to the game developers’ interpretation. To me, most Yaoguais should look more human form than monsters

为什么1986的西游记电视剧如此受欢迎？因为当年很多人物都是在全中国选角，普通的一个角色放在今天都是中国戏曲大师级的人物！孙悟空的饰演者他们一家好几代人都是演绎猴戏的，他的大哥曾受到开国总理周恩来的接见，每一位菩萨都严格按照中国古寺庙里的雕塑来选角来化妆！当年这些角色化妆都是国家级的造型大师经过多次打磨，废掉许多预案才最终成型的。

The Black Myth Wukong story is rich with references to Journey to the West. Immersive Translate helped me explore these connections in depth.
Among the Chinese dubbing in this game, some clips are dubbed from the original soundtrack of Journey to the West in 1986.
Since Wukong can transform anything at will, almost all the actors were required to play Wukong unaffectedly (and they did it).
The whiteclad noble in Black Myth isn’t the same character. The original one died after he got struck by Wukong’s golden staff. In Black Myth, that snake guy was one of Erlang’s subordinates, and the replacement for the original whiteclad noble.
Yeah in the novel he and the Lingxuzi both took one hit each, and both got brain and blood spewing out (weirdly described in such a nonchalant way too), Guanyin was like "Cruel monkey what on Earth has gotten into you?!"
the OG Lingxuzi in Black Myth were there, but he sorta unalived himself right after he was brought back to life, out of guilt.

it's still the only series to nearly adapt the entire novel . Other versions omitted a lot of parts or just straight up changed or added shits . And of course the best portrayal of Sun Wukong of all time .
Also the opening is just 👌
Eehh... Current adaptations don't look much less outdated, if at all, IMO, with their shitty CGI that doesn't remotely hold up.
I realy wish someone would adapt it with modern technology/budget in a way that's actually convincing (or just have it be animated).
Been waiting for a video like this
The series introduced me to sun wukong character few years later i watched Dragon ball only to find out Goku's based on the stone monkey after seeing their similarities😂.
The series is goated, i recommend anyone should watch it that's if ur interested in Wokung story
We need a movie remake of journey to the west dude
Ik new fans are looking at this and am wondering wtf is some of these stuff. But you’d almost have to watch it when it just came out. There’s a reason why this IS the favorite version to JTTW to long time fans, because even though budget is low, they did everything to make it as nice as possible. Lore wise it also as close as it can get to being correct too.
The 1986 series was adapted for kids and family. The original was practical, deep, and dark.
It is a powerful game engine like the Unreal Engine 5 gives the chinese game devs far more creative freedom than the traditional film making technique that allows them to recreate and reinvent the visual of this chinese mythological world. it is a breathe of fresh air on an IP that has hundreds of movies and tv shows already
1986 series is only series that wukong actually monkey like, pure joy not emo half human like other jttw series, that why i love it
Not that Tiger Vanguard, the Tiger Vanguard in the tv series was the tiger in secret chapter 2
Yeah I noticed that too.
Mad Tiger inside the well?
@@K0RGAN0S7 the one we met when travel to the past
I don't see any differences. Both looks great. :D
Journey to the west have a bunch of iteration my favourite is from 1996 version even after watching all journey to the west even movie that coming out today
The actor in the Tv series was a professional artist
Incluso el juego pone la música de la serie de telvision.
Sí, muy clásica la música
This game delivered 💯. I can't wait for the DLC.
where r u from?
Damn i thought i was the only one who knew this show existed
I would like to bring to the attention of all wakong lovers to look into an old unknown game for the psvita called soul sacrifice. If you loved the lore of wukong you will love that story as well.
fun fact , 7 spider sister belly is actually from the male acter LOL
back then people were more traditional, the girls doesn't want to show their bellies on camera, even tho it's a close up, so some of the guys on set did the scene.
Yes, I read the entire report. In the 1980s, China was still very conservative. A singer was sentenced to eight years in prison for having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. A woman was sentenced to death for having sex with 10 men. Now it seems that the entire society at that time was really too conservative!
Journey to the west is one of best Buddhist epic ever written in the history.
It's great. It would be perfect if there were seven spider beauties in the shower.
中国的法律不允许做这种游戏，虽然我也很想玩这种游戏。😂
Australia maybe😂
there's a censorship issue in china so they can't do that type of revealing and explicit images.
I watched that show since I was a kid, and it became my childhood, I know that in the west very few people know about this movie, after learning that the movie was made a long time ago, In 1986, technology was not as developed as it is now, so it could only be done manually or simply, however if you want to understand the game's plot, you should watch the movie to understand better.
That music tho in the background 🔥
My childhood
This is....this is my childhood right here
1:08 I think that may be a mistake. Whiteclad Noble wasn't a character in original story. The one who was on the other hand is Guangmou which was that snake guy you fight before the Noble.
1:30 Likeweise, actual Tiger Vanguard is guarding the entrance to Fubane Area in Secret Chapter. The blooddrinker is his son
You should also showing Bodhisattva Lingji in full mode other than the headless one
Wukong movies always had its comedy part, but in game it deadly serious!
Kang Jinlong, the goddess of spring in Chinese mythology, represents the beginning of plant growth in spring. When spring comes in China, there will be thunder and rain, so the goddess of spring in the game will be accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Idun, the goddess of spring in Norse mythology, is in charge of spring and golden apples. Her husband is the god of poetry Bragi.
Both goddesses represent spring, but they have their own characteristics. From the perspective of humanities, this is a different understanding of spring by two civilizations.
Of course, I am just popularizing mythology
In Chinese mythology, gods also correspond to the stars in the sky. Kang Jinlong represents the second star of China's Kangxiu, which is a star in the Boötes constellation understood by Europeans and Americans. It is a star in Virgo. The address is this star en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota_Virginis
1:17 This is wrong. Whiteclad Noble in game is one of the brothers of Erlang. The figure in TV show is 灵虚子, which is a wolf; in game he is the hanged dead body nearby the third bell. The boss Lingxuzi or 凌虚子 is like a successor of 灵虚子 (you see their name is similar but different in one character).
你是对的，感谢你们的宣传
old but gold
I'm more interested in Chinese mythology. There are so many similarities with our culture and Hinduism mythology.
Sorri to bust your bubble but Wu Kong is not mythology he is worshipped and have shrines all across Asia !!! People pray to him for he has become enlightened and became a Buddha !!! So please don't insult his origin by calling mythology !! To many Asian people he truly existed !!
@@tonyawillams9442 At least, Sun Wukong is more commonly recognized as a mythological figure in china.
@@tonyawillams9442 Christianity, Judaism and Islam is also mythology to people who does not believe in any religion. Mythology is a sacred matter, there is no insult using that term. Theology is just mythology that some people believe real.
@@tonyawillams9442 Wu Kong is a documented fictional character created by the author Wu Cheng En. He is not a mythological figure.
@@klovershows3823 Monkey King is based on a true story of a famous monk, Xuan Zang of the Chinese Tang Dynasty (602-664). After a decade of trials and tribulations, he arrived on foot to what is today India, the birthplace of Buddhism. Journey to the West is a fictional story !!! Big difference !!
其实对于二郎神的形象，大家基本上还是比较认可焦恩俊饰演的。
Watching the trailers for Black Myth: Wukong, it’s clear this game has a lot of potential.
Hongkonger好搞笑，在每个视频底下找存在感，实际上根本没几个人知道。。。
dude even the game look more realistic than the tv series 😅❤
I still prefer the tv series, it’s just more funny and made lots of peoples day, some characters in the game to me doesn’t really look like how it is supposed to and how they are supposed to act and talk.
Tiger vanguard looks cute in tv serie lmao😂
Can someone please tell me what song this is? If you don't know exactly can you at least tell if it's from the video game, tv show, or neither
Chapter3 ending song
Similar vibes to Atomic Heart to post-soviet countries. So, so many references and childhood memories.
Can i have the name of the background theme you’re using?
"Nonsense!" from the Black Myth Wukong OST
Seeing Demon Bull King comparision hurts, guy def ain't the same JTTW, don't blame him tho.
Guess the TV series had lighter tone compare to black myth because damn that game is really dark when you compare it to
well for the most part the TV series had also budget restrictions (literally only had ONE camera while filming), and it also had to be family friendly. it's still loyal to the source material, but given the novel is very episodic and sort of lighthearted for the most parts, BMW serves as a sequel to that story, and as a darker alternate universe of the JTTW lore (sort of canon divergent)
The novel is a satire of the real empire. This is a novel set in the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, Journey to the West is about going to India to get the real Buddhist scriptures. Another meaning is that this is a team doing something very difficult. The things they encountered were used to express the dark side of society at that time. In the novel, the team is about to reach the last stop, the Buddhist center, which is on a mountain. Unbelievably, the monsters at the foot of this mountain are very powerful and cruelly slaughter humans. The novel describes a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Even Sun Wukong felt creepy.
TV series had a few dark moments and knew when to take things seriously (except for the whole Bull Demon King family thing - sure, it was his fault for leaving his wife for a fox concubine but Wukong and team made it worse by getting his son enslaved by Guanyin and by disrespecting his wife and concubine multiple times. It's no wonder why the Bull is so depressed in the game lmao)
@@李四-z4d and the people who committed wrongs and evil things get away with it because they know powerful people in high places. Like how the demons just get away because they are the mounts of the gods.
I wish they would acknowledge the 1996 TVB JTTW TV show
3:03 It‘s’ Bull Demon King, the father of Red Boy, not Red Boy himself.
We really need one more JTTW adaptation, but darker and more serious, like in game
The novel is not that dark and serious
@@NicoGV the game showed that darker adaptation may work well
@@NicoGV the noval was actually darker and heavier than the game
thanks for this
Be cool if they reboot the series
What's the music called?
ruclips.net/video/zz4DkiJSXxU/видео.html
If someone make a Journey to the west TV show, using modern visual effects, and doesn't deviate from the original novel, how cool would that be? That would be an other Lord of the rings to say the least.
Whiteclad noble is actually one of the sages of mount mei, under Er lang.
Maybe ppl in different cultyure don't know how huge Journey to the West is in China.
Consider a culture with at least a billion ppl and over 400years most of them heard of or watched a version of JttY somewhere when they grow. Think of it as King Arthur or Hercules in China.
It's a strange feeling to see JttY finally get a huge spotlight on the internet. The Internet connects us and sometimes brings us huge surprises and it's beautiful.
Nostalgia 😢😭
This stuff is nostalgic, literal masterpiece.
Koreans gon be hella mad, cuz we be stealing Korean culture, but little did they know, the guy who wrote journey to the west is 500 years older than Korea💀
What does Korea have to do with JTTW
@@NicoGV well, after blackmyth wukong came out, they simply said the arthor of jttw is a Korean, and all the buildings in blackmyth are Korean buildings, like we’re all just here enjoying the game, come on Korea.
@@damian7571 What fucking idiots have you been watching? Ignore them.
Red Boy in the game looks like the devil's child.
Rakshasa is originally a branch of the demon clan, and the game is a true restoration of it. The 1986 TV series was for children and should not scare children, so he did not look like a demon king in 1986.
What the song in the video?
屁
What song was used for the?
Sensacional 😃
I would like to know the music of the video
What's the song in the video?
the tiger vanguard that wukong killed is the father, not his son (killed by destined one instead)
that was my favorite show i used to watch every evening
I think it may be time for a reboot lol 👀
There've been 3-4 "reboots"'/remakes since 1986. Probably more that I'm not aware of.
Journey to the West became a fairy tale in China. It was read to children, so.........
name of the music?
“Nonsense “
It is one of the song in the cutscene.
屁
The game is causing me cognitive dissonance. How the characters look from the TV series are what I believed they should look like since childhood, I’m having a hard time adjusting to the game developers’ interpretation. To me, most Yaoguais should look more human form than monsters
KangjinLoong has changed too much!
存在一些错误。并且该剧是1986年拍摄的第一版，当时拍摄资金紧缺，并且剧集是面向所有人的，同时涉及政治问题，剧中存在许多简陋无法表现的地方与刻意美化与搞笑部分。
