Sirenas

I really tried to watch this 2017 version because it's said to stay the truest to the original story. It started off with good pacing but unfortunately, the characters of the two female leads are just really distasteful and they have way too much screen time. If this is how they are supposed to be in all versions, I may never end up completing this iconic trilogy.

Also fully understand the main lead is supposed to be naive and grow through time and experience, but the portrayal of him here is over the top... foolish. For someone who was raised with the Genghis Khan family, it doesn't make sense for him to lack this much common sense. The rest of the jianghu personalities are also depicted in an uninteresting and hypocritical way.

Note that I'm not familiar with the novel of the trilogy so this is just an opinion on how this particular one played out. The underlying base plot seems to be really interesting, so I hope either the other versions are better or a better remake comes out.
