C-dramas captivate Vietnamese viewers

Ngo Minh Quang, a 23-year-old Chinese language teacher in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has been a fan of Chinese dramas over the years.

At just 5 years old, he was captivated by the fantastic world of Journey to the West, a classic drama adapted from the novel of the same name that was written during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Describing the tale — a fictionalized account of the adventures of a Buddhist monk and his three powerful apprentices, including the heroic Monkey King — as his favorite drama, he told China Daily that he has watched it multiple times and even revisited it after beginning to learn Chinese.
