How to evaluate "Journey to the West, Daughter's Kingdom"

Since the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" came out, various adaptations of "Journey to the West" have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. There are drastic adaptations and some based on the original version. "Journey to the West: Daughter" The adaptation of "The Country" is a different interpretation of the same story within the larger framework of the original version. The audience is presented with another side of the grievances and resentments between Tang Seng and the King of the Daughter Kingdom. And it fills in some small holes in the story of the daughter country in the original "Journey to the West".

First of all, Tang Seng is played by Feng Shaofeng. In the movie "The Kingdom of Women", Tang Seng is not a monk who only knows the rules and precepts, but a person who knows the seven emotions and six desires of flesh and blood. What he has more than others is the word "restraint". Feng Shaofeng's acting skills also made Tang Seng feel the care of the fetal movement online. He even thought about expressing the emotions of the fetus being born very well, making the audience feel Tang Seng's respect for life. There is also the emotional interaction between him and the king, the kind of being in love, stopping at etiquette, and being unable to be dragged down by love because he has a heavy responsibility, all acted very well, making people feel that Tang Seng was also a living person with emotions.

The daughter King, who has been isolated from the world since childhood, is played by Zhao Liying. In the early stage, Liying grasped the simplicity and agility of the king very well, and her character was clearly expressed with just one look in her eyes. It is also different from those silly and sweet characters. The king in the middle is gentle, smart and considerate. She has always been by Tang Seng's side, thinking about him and doing her best to solve problems for him. These Liying expressions are also perfect! Later on, she was sensible and generous. She knew that if you love someone, you should fulfill him, so she restrained her love but let go. She can't love but has to personally send the one she loves to a distant place. Liying's eyes in the later stage are very spot on, making people feel sorry for the role of the king. So I applaud Liying for her acting skills!
