Drama Digest

An outstanding fantasy TV drama with timeless appeal that was developed from an internet novel. As the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Xie Miao makes a triumphant return to the big screen! Royi battles for love while portraying the Princess of Demons. The drama follows the legendary tale. According to the tale, if one were to seize all the three ancient artifacts in the world, then that would unleash unimaginable power. As a result of this tale, people start fighting to be the first ones to gain such power. In such a dangerous time, a man is born who fights evil.

The Feel-Good Part

The drama uses a huge number of special effects, which ensures that viewers experience a roller coaster of emotions while watching the drama. At the same time, the action-packed drama has great action sequences that ensure that you remain on the edge of your seat at all times.

The Disappointing Factor

The only disappointing fact about this whole drama is the story. The story forms an essential part of the drama, and if it is not properly planned out, the drama might not feel interesting for the viewers to watch. The same is the case for this drama. Even though this drama has several parts, it fails to deliver much to the viewers. It lacks originality and unique characteristics of any sort. As a result, one might stray away from watching this drama.

In-Depth Analysis

A tale that follows Sun Xiaotian, the legendary monkey deity, as he fights to preserve humanity. According to mythology, three ancient artifacts have been hidden in the three kingdoms. If these three artifacts were retrieved, then this would unleash unimaginable power. As a result, chaos breaks out in all three realms as people attempt to seize the artifacts for themselves. A monkey is born from a stone in this period of imbalance and disturbance. He is Sun Xiaotian (also known as Xie Miao), a monkey who battles evil with the use of an unbreakable staff and who dexterously soars atop clouds. Nobody, however, anticipated that the mounting animosity would seize without any form or pattern and latch onto the stone monkey’s rage. It gives birth to his adversary, the equally potent Jiutong Ape Monkey (Bai Zixuan). While still looking for the lost artifacts, the Evil Saint assumes the persona of the Paladin Monkey and uses his might to subjugate the four demon monarchs of the demon world. Only the stone monkey has a chance of destroying the demons that stalk the earth and prey on innocent humanity.

Star Power

Xie Miao, who plays Sun Xiao Tian, and Nan Sheng, who plays Yu Bingxin, do an outstanding job as the main characters of the drama. The other supporting roles were also performed well. The actors are a total visual treat for the movie.

Overall Opinion

This drama might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you do prefer dramas that are a combination of action and fantasy, this might be a good choice for you as long as you don’t mind the story.
