Adaptation didn't dissapoint!
So far, this live adaptation truly pictures the novel storyline so well. Li Changshou is as goofy yet a prodigy just like the him in the novel. Also I'm amazed with this story. He's not your stereotypical hero that jumps infront of danger, rather he is an anti-danger guy and ALWAYS runs away first incase of danger, all the while hiding his real body 99% of the time. His legendary paper clone spell was well-embodied alongside the fact that they even mentioned Sun Wukong (the great heavenly monkey that can clone himself). The love interest thing is gonna be a bit disappointing since in the novel, he has 2 wives (Yunxiao and Ling'e) but in the adaptation, they chose only Yunxiao to be his wife and Ling'e's heartfelt devotion is gonna be seen only as a "junior respect senior" type of interaction. Though soulmates don't have to always be lovers, I really think Ling'e is his true soulmate because she has always taken care of him for centuries, she protects his real body hidden away in an underground bunker, she cooks for him, knows everything about him including what he likes, what he fears etc etc. But I get why they chose Yunxiao, she is his only equal and the person that can see through him very easily, she's as intelligent as him. Really love these type of rare hilarious storylines, Ao Rupeng really knows how to select good scripts, also hope female lead gets more main roles after this!!
