Yes, please continue with the series. This second season hasn't been confirmed yet, and it could use all the buzz it can get. Please support the asian actors so they can get more work in the US.
Will do!
Lee/Li getting so excited about the turnip cake and slapping your arm was so funny omg especially cos he’s usually so serious
Your reactions videos are my favorites, I love how you guys pay attention to the details and make remarks not only on the Chinese cultural background but also on pop culture as well, 加油！
Thank you so much!
I like that you two were able to catch so many Easter Eggs throughout this show. They must have really cared to put so much of the source material in this show. As an ABC myself I either don't know all of this mythology or don't remember it since I haven't watched those movies since I was a young child. I also thought of the movie Forbidden Kingdom as that was one of the latest Western interpretations of this story but I take issue with that movie so glad this show is around.
Them arguing over whether Sun Wukong stole something is like peak couple goals.
Love your videos Jessie! I’m an ABC so I only know a little bit of Chinese mythology. I’m always interested in learning more, so your commentary is so helpful in expanding my knowledge (and my Mandarin 😂)
Same!
Pfft cringe ABC
I love watching you two react to videos and giving your commentary, especially when you're explaining Chinese culture.
Glad you enjoy it!
I loveeee this series Jessie as a Malaysian Chinese I am learning so much about Chinese stories from you guys 😊😊😊😊
Please continue with the series! I’m learning so much from you. It makes me appreciate the series even more.
Please do continue to react to the show. I watched it all and loved it, but I love your perspective and the notes you give on the cultural references to “Journey to the West”
Will do!
In Amweica, lockers are for the books you don't need at the moment (we have a lot of books), and for personal belongings.
So glad you guys reviewed this! I love this series so far, please continue with your excellent commentary!
Thanks! Will do!
Yes, in America, we have different classes we go to so everything is kept in our lockers and backpacks. We don't stay in one room with our own desk except sometimes as little kids in elementary school.
Our class sizes also depend on the area. City public schools may have more students than in the suburbs. But it's usually about 20 kids.
The Monkey King and Journey to the West stories are so popular, they're told again and again. I enjoy watching them but I like learning about new stories and myths, which is why I like a lot of the random shows streaming. Like the one about White Snake, even though that show wasn't great. Loved hearing you react!
Yeah my public school was about 30 per class. My graduating class being 520 kids and almsot 2500 kids in the school. I was just in the suburbs too.
yes you got it right, in the united states in high school we switch classes and typically use lockers to store our backpacks, textbooks not being used for the current class, jacket(if it is winter), and extra supplies and miscellaneous items as well. i had no idea that people stay in the classrooms and the teachers move around in china, i honestly couldn't imagine🥲
In college, we go to different classrooms though. But we still don't have lockers coz everyone lives in the campus in college and so we just take the books with us for classes and then take them back to dormitories after classes.
Lockers are mostly a high school thing in North America. In most larger universities in North America, the students would also just carry their books around, whether or not they lived off-campus. Lockers wouldn't be very helpful in many universities, considering classes may be a 10 minute walk away from each other, or occasionally even on a different campus.
07:12 "How can Sun Wukong have a son? Wasn't Sun Wukong born from the stone?" ... That's easy Li. He just ate many "阴茎和睾丸的身体部位" from many other animals. 哈哈哈!!! 😅🤣😂 ... And that look you give Li at 08:54 is hysterical, Jessie! I really laughed! 🤭
Please continue with the series. When I saw the first couple of episodes myself, I was telling myself “I hope Jessie does a reaction video of the show” because of how much Chinese dialogue there is . I really enjoyed your reaction and want to see more please.
We will!
Yes, please watch more.
YES!!!! Please continue the series... I just love all the references.. As part Chinese myself I like to learn more about the culture... Keep it up!!!
Wait this looks so cool! I am considering watching this now 😆
The mom is malaysian actress and the father is singaporean actor....
Would love you guys to keep this series going
About the locker thing. I don't know what schools are like now, but when I went to school in New York, we started switching classes in 6th grade. We didn't have lockers yet, because we really didn't have that many classroom switches, but Junior High and High School all had a lot of class switching (pretty much every hour), so we had lockers. My first college had some lockers to but most people didn't really use them unless they had to go really far across campus.
I'm so happy I found you, this reaction, with all your explanations, is everything! 🙏 Thank you, I look forward to more!
I love the commentary, great job!
Glad you enjoyed!
Please continue to react and review each episode. This made me want to watch the show.
Awesome reaction Jessie Sun Wukong is one of my favorite Chinese mythologies also I subscribed to your channel👍
Can't wait for your mythology breakdown on episode 4
0:10 I like how you both said it at the same time ahah 😁
Please do more reactions of ABC! I love having all the references explained.
seems like it'll be fun
The hair power you spoke of reminds me of the forbidden kingdom movie
Please watch more!
In America, the students go from class to class and the teachers stay put. So we use lockers because a lot of other people use the desks.
I never read journey to the west but I lived hearing Jessie and Lee explain some of the backstory, and you can totally see where they got the story for the original dragon ball.
Hi Jessie. I don’t know Chinese but I love languages and I’ve been watching your content for a while now. I’m learning Japanese. Didn’t realize this video is about Son Wukong. It’s story that inspired Dragon Ball 😊
Great vids.
The lockers are there because in American high schools, the teachers are stationed in the classrooms, and the students are the ones who go from classroom to classroom. It makes making friends harder in my opinion, since you don't necessarily have all the same classes as your friends.
Loved this, thank you. Monkey et al are my favourite mythological characters. I've read a couple of English translations of "Journey to the West" and they always call Monkey's staff "wishing staff" so I didn't even know it had a name. So thank you for that too. Also White Snake/Green Snake was mentioned. I've seen two versions. One with Cheung Man Yuk and a more recent one with Charlene Choi (who I think is the funniest actress alive...perfect comedy timing). I seem to remember that both Donnie Yen and Stephen Chow have played Sun Wu Kong. Yes, please carry on with this show. And thank you again.
I forgot to mention. There is a sandstone statue of the Indian Guan Yin in the British Museum. I much prefer the female Chinese iteration and have a number of statuettes of her.
the american channel Overly Sarcastic Production did a series of videos telling the story of Sun Wukong and The Journey to the West in a very entertaining way
(his powers and a lot of details are probably not plainly given there though, but if you're a western audience who wants to get a grasp at what it's all about it's a nice way to get a glimpse at chinese folklore, they also do a lot of videos on various folktales, mythologies, legends, storytelling tropes, and history)
I want to watch this 😅
Every grade in America has lockers. In America you don't stay in the same classroom all day. The day is sectioned into 7 or 8 classes of 40ish minutes and each subject is in a different room. So instead of having to lug 6-7 books around all day you go to your locker and drop off the book from the finished class and pick up the next one. Also store your jacket, umbrella etc.. so you don't have to carry them around either. You can leave books in your locker overnight that you don't need to take home.
That's nice, thank you for the explanation!
Thank you for explaining the Pig and Bull looks. Please do more explanations of the show and other cultural things that have come to the US.
01:17 that's actually the version I had always know, but I don't know why other iteration said that Wukong was stole it :'(
Please react to the rest of the episodes! My bf is Chinese and we both really enjoyed the series, but I have a question he still can’t answer me! WHY JIGONG IS ALWAYS DRUNK?!😂
In the Ji Gong TV series we grew up watching, he drinks all the time and looks drunk but he's actually sober and always helping people around, he has a nickname called "the Living Buddha".
And yeah we're reacting to the rest episodes, will post soon!
There are so many Monkey Kind adaptations that I knew it was a major historical work, but I never knew the details. I was discussing if we had anything like that in America. The best I came up with was Johnny Appleseed and John Henry oh and perhaps Sleepy Hollow.

7:17 Lee told a joke!
I’m making my own Chinese American television show I called this one Haley and Ray Ray starring Amy Bruckner and Kath Soucie
in europe (at least from my belgian experience) we would have desks that open in primary/elementary school because we have one class and the teachers go from class to class. In secondary/middle + high school we have lockers because most teachers (3 grade and up and science teachers) have their own class/lab and the students go from class to class, but you have to bring your own lock and when i was in 2nd grade (13 y-o) every other day a kid would ask for the big wirecutters because they couldn't open their lock (forgot the code or lost the keys). At University we didn't have a locker anymore, we just moved building so much it would have been no use (they might have been available in our Faculty building but there were so many of us and everyone used their laptops anyway (if they showed up at all), i think they were available in art school but i got used to carying all my junk and leaving some projects at my desk that i didn't bother (plus there were like 2 of them for the class so i'd have to share, too cumbersome for not much)
Yeah, I can confirm it’s the same for most American high schools. You have your locker because you change classrooms. Although I know a lot of people who just carried all their books in their backpack rather than go to their locker.
@@franzferdinand2 : My books were few and light, so I carried mine around all day. Locker was for jacket and sometimes lunch. Sometimes lunch because we went out to Blimpie or the local pizza place a lot.
Jessie, do you have a book recommendation for Journey to the West of kids version? I've been thinking of introducing it to my daughter. I remember growing up watching TV shows every summer. It's pretty much everyone in our generation did in summer time.

kidney stones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
在美国我们上小学时没有储物柜，只有书桌的小隔间放我们的课本，笔记本，等。从中学开始我们经常用储物柜放好我们的东西。每天在每一节课中间你会到储物柜去换课本，笔记本，等，然后走到下一课。

Jin's mother's accent is not taiwan accent. It mandarin with very little accent influence, personally, a more neutral tone.
Get more yes
DC Comics has a comic called Monkey Prince, son of Sun Wukong. This tv show is very close to that comic.

Hi. I vaguely recall there's an idiom related to Zhu Bajie.. sth about his rake..what is it again? 我曾经看过的小说里 有一个成语跟猪八戒有关 叫什么来着？
Correct about lockers. The athlete = popular & comics =need thing is tradition, but seems a little outdated.

He said maybe his son was born from his kidney stone. 😂😂😂

How did that girl say she was a BT's fan but not notice that the new Chinese transfer kid looks a like like jk did when he was younger??😂😂😂😂😂
Have you heard of LEGO Monkie Kid? I keep wanting to check it out, I wonder what you think of it!
9:31 Pansexual is the word you are looking for.
I believe the word is "pansexual"
This series was okay, but I wish they'd called it something else, because it had nothing to do with Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel. It not only lacked the novel's central theme about self-hatred, but also lacks the story structure that made the novel so unique. A thing that was a massive plot twist at the end of the novel is revealed from moment one in the show and changes everything about the story. It felt totally unrelated to the graphic novel and just an excuse for some Chinese-style fantasy action and to capitalise on the popularity of "Shang Chi" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once". Which normally I'd be all for. But the novel wasn't an action story and was about something much deeper and more meaningful. The show felt like it just didn't get what the novel was about.
I hope if they end up adapting "Boxers and Saints" that it will be a lot more faithful to Yang's work than this was.
are you american born chinese also ?
The reason for the lockers is because in the US you usually have six or seven classes in high school. With a 5 to 10-minute break between classes, which gives you time to pick up and drop off the books you need for specific classes. And\or to get water, use the restroom, etc. If your locker isn't too far away from your next class and you have enough time... You can also put your jacket, or lunch there until you need them later.
The word you were looking for was pansexual! I know this video is very old, so you maybe have remembered it by now.
The platform sandals are really hideous! 🤣Makes you think this is a parody rather than a real thing.
So, question is... Am I Chinese?
jessie's mandarin is good, but her interpretation of story about theft is wrong. Sun Wukong did steal the pole. And the kid stole the jacket. There is no need to find legal loophole to say that it's not a theft/robbery
偷跟搶都是 stole
