Laughable CGI, terrible adaptation, bad cast
I chanced upon this drama and seeing that it is a new release, I decided to give it a shot. It is horrible and I am abandoning it shy of 2 episodes.
I do not understand why they picked a female lead to play Ne Zha. I grew up on such stories, reading and watching multiple versions of these. The newer adaptations tend to be awful and this one is no different. It is rather weird that Ne Zha starts off as a 'child' running around helping people. Normally, it starts with Ne Zha's birth. The lead also overacts and I really could not bring myself to like her. She shouts and screams, but shows little facial expression.
Prior to the show starting, the music blasted on my speakers (FYI, the music is also terrible), so I had to lower the volume. When the show commenced, I could barely hear them speak, so I had to turn the volume up again. From what I gathered, this looks like a low-cost production. There is terrible CGI, terrible editing and overall a plethora of terribleness.
