I don't see it as adaptable. There's limits to what can be portrayed on screen.
The Chinese adaptation by Tencent is available for free on YouTube. It does a generally good job. Episode 6 seems heavily censored, but it is otherwise a sensible adaptation of the original.
Netflix could have easily built on that and improve on it tremendously. There are parts in the Tencent adaptation that are plain bad (e.g., Evans).
However, if seems that they went on a different route. I hope that this "teaser" is not a faithful representation of the final product.
I really wonder what the Netflix version would have been like if the Congresses producer they were going to work with hadn’t been fricking murdered.
