"Creation of the Gods" Scores 8.1 on Douban, Breaking Records for Chinese Manga Adaptations
2023-09-20
On September 20th, the new series "Creation of the Gods," based on Tencent's manga "One Person Beneath," achieved a remarkable 8.1 rating on Douban, setting a new record for Chinese manga adaptations. With over 26,000 Douban users rating the show, 41.6% awarded it 4 stars, and 37.7% gave it a perfect 5-star rating.
Some viewers commented, "Considering it's a manga adaptation, the quality is quite good." "Overall, the adaptation is well-done, and the production quality is commendable. Although some character designs underwent significant changes, the overall quality remains impressive." However, some critics expressed their disappointment, stating, "This isn't a true live-action manga adaptation; it feels more like a budget cosplay." "It follows the clichés of online novels and anime. The female lead's looks and the production value are decent, but without these elements, there wouldn't be much to watch."
"Creation of the Gods" is directed by Xu Hongyu and stars Peng Yuchang, Hou Minghao, and Wang Yinglu in leading roles, with special appearances by Wang Xueqi, Bi Wenjun, and Jiang Peiyao. Notable guest appearances include Wang Yizhe, Wang Yanluo, Dai Si, and Zhang Qi in this urban fantasy drama.
The series premiered on August 4th but had to be delayed the following day due to media issues. After a month-long wait, the show resumed on September 6th.
