    Is there really any reason then to view this series if one’s already watched the Chinese version? I thought that one was pretty phenomenal, and felt like the Netflix version couldn’t possibly compare

      I preferred the Chinese version. Hollywood’s take didn’t have the same atmosphere and the pacing was weird.

      They never let you soak in any particular moment, time, or place. Every little plot line or detail that could be cut, was. It felt to me like a very long tldr or a string of trailers glued together. So many trailer-style corny one-liners.

      I’m sure I’m forgetting some parts that were actually enjoyable, but I feel like I wouldn’t have missed out on anything had I not watched it.

        Thanks for the detailed reply! Those were basically my assumptions, but good to know from someone’s opinion I feel I can trust. Definitely gonna skip on it and keep waiting for Tencent’s season 2. I’m so hyped for the next book 🤩
