As the first Chinese comic blockbuster with Zhu Bajie as the protagonist, the film also focuses on shaping the character's growth and changes. Compared with the traditional Chinese comic heroes who are full of rebellious spirit, Zhu Bajie has always been a controversial and topical character. Although he is greedy, lazy and selfish, he also has his own bottom line and persistence, which also makes him a flawed warm man.
This film also lays out the love story between Zhu Bajie and his first love "Sister Luan" from Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain, which makes Zhu Bajie's image of being affectionate and righteous more prominent. Although the "Beauty and the Beast"-like encounter is beautiful and short, it makes people want to cry for their sincere love.
