I'm wondering if they're going to take the more Persian route or the more Chinese route with the story. They may not do either and make it modern or something like that. They need to release more data o_q

Yeah. I can hardly tell what actually will happen or anything, and a Chinese approach would be interesting because they are rare. I like the idea of another spin on Aladdin regardless of the lack of information.
