* GermansLoveDavidHasslehoff: While extremely contentious among Chinese viewers, Western viewers tended to view the series more favourably and hold it up as a worthwhile adaptation on its own, even if they also believe the 1986 adaptation to be the better adaptation.

** The Wood Wolf of Kui, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes especially considering his backstory]], as well as [[StarCrossedLovers his relationship]] with the [[spoiler: Hundred Flowers Princess of the Kingdom of Elephantia]].
* BrokenBase: The new version of Journey to the West is easily one of the most divisive and polarizing works in Chinese TV. With opinions varying on it being one of the best and in-depth adaptations, possibly on par with or even better than the 1986 classic, or a overblown, muddled and bombastic mess that focused too much on CGI and special effects over characterization and writing, as well as tried to cram too much into a 60-episode series. However, given the fact that much of the backlash arguably came from the popularity of the 1986 series for 25 years, a degree of the backlash can be traced back to NostalgiaFilter.

* HoYay: According to netizens, this adaptation had ''so much ho yay,'' most notably between [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Wukong]] and Erlang Shen, and Wukong and Tang Sanzang, that it earned itself the nickname "JiYouJi" (roughly translated as "Slashing to the West").

* AntiVillain: Again, the [[WolfpackBoss three Rhino Demons]], [[spoiler: who actually tried to help the humans that live close to them by providing despite [[ConMan posing as Buddhist Deities to steal their lantern oil]] ]], and wanted to achieve enlightenment the hard way.
