Benchang You's version is called Ji Gong's Travels. I don't know which one you are talking about in the new version. But from a classic point of view, I prefer the Benchang You version. Of course, regardless of the TV series, Xing Ye's Jigong movies are also good.
I've seen Benchang You's version of Ji Gong's Travels and Benny Chan's version of New Ji Gong's Living Buddha, and I always feel that in the new version, Ji Gong's role orientation is a bit odd.
