Top Comments of this video!! :3
there is a scene in the chinese version, when the lady is younger, and they are in some 'youth camp' thing. their assigned task seems to be using powered saws and casually cut down huge, aged trees mercilessly. that scene is so loaded, leaves an impression,....conveys the pain of the dystopian existence. It is not true that the chinese/tencent version does not show the background of the cultural revolution. that scene in the forest is haunting. no words or explicit statements are needed.

To answer your question at the end of the video: As a westerner, who has read the novels and seen the Tencent version, I personally think we have been insulted. I would have to agree with your analysis of the characters. The writing is atrocious and the characters are shallow and self absorbed and for the most part unrelateable. Overall with few exceptions feels adolescent and cheap. The depth of the the story is almost completely lost. I enjoyed your analysis and feel it was on point. You also managed to point out some redeeming characteristics I overlooked in my annoyance with Netflix version.

In Tencent version they managed to make you care about every single character in the story. Everyone has a motivation that sometimes is conflictive eventhough they are going in the same direction yet they see the world with different perspectives, enough to make them enemies instead of allies. And I love that scientists in this series talk like scientists and see the world in scientific terms.. they are super nerds, obsessive with a compulsive behaviour and through the cop you see how they are also human beings with problems, complex lives so even the simpler character is esential to the story, like the series is telling you, everybody matters and plays a rol into the world. I love it and hope they get the Dark Forest by 2025 or 2026. Fingers crossed.

I find somewhat ironic that a common criticism to the books is that characters there don't have that much introspection or depth and only exist to move the plot forward... And then a show like this comes and kinda proves the book right by wasting precious screen time on the little daily dramas of the obnoxious "Oxford 5".
Not really a great fit for a series that should be about the "big ideas" and a vast time scale.

I agree that the weirdest thing is how they made ye wenjie and evans have a romantic relationship and even have a daughter together. In the book Yang Weining was a good guy but they painted him as a traitor by making him steal her idea of discovering the aliens lol. Chinese men bad, white men good. So weird. Another thing that bothered me is how they made the old yen wenjie seem so mental lol. The way she was speaking while interrogated made me think she belonged in a mental institution. She was so angry and defensive lol

Quite a spot on review.
To be honest, Netflixâs 3 Body is not a bad drama but it gives a sense that the producers donât really get what the books are about. The changing of the main setting from China to UK, though friendlier to viewers in the west, resulted in the Netflixâs version losing the âsoulâ of the original story.
The needs to be politically correct also affected the characters of the story and the relationship between the characters in the drama. The focus on âpersonal relationshipâ is a direct result of the changes made in characterization and location of the core events.
The comment on Ye Wenjie is spot on. The Tencentâs version did an excellent job in fleshing out the character and both actresses who played the younger and older roles of the character did a very good job in bringing the complexities of the character to life. The Netflix versionâs interpretation of the role is too shallow and stereotypical.
The comment about the music is spot on. The Tencentâs version though limited by budget, have a more grandiose feel in scope than the Netflix version, all due to the quality of the score and musics and songs used in the drama.

"Friends" with the backdrop of "we're all doomed.'" Hilariously accurate.
