Well, most of the time, Wukong either tend to solve problem with brute force which then Tang Sanzang will forbids, or Wukong break something sacred, then Guanyin either drops hints or items (mostly to counter enemy's special items, which ironically came/stolen from heaven) to help resolved the issues.

Wukong: Munchkin Sanzang: DMPC Guanyin: DM's Dea ex Lotus
Well, that's the impression I got from Chinese Lit classes. And that long-running Hong Kong drama.
To be fair, it's a fun read in small doses, and far better than a certain little Story about a (jade) Stone* or something, which is boring enough to make most soap operas look like action blockbusters in comparison.
(*I don't get why people in the West love that book. Me and my friends universally decried it as boring. Must be a dang good translation job then.)

Now Three Kingdoms, that's awesome.
Oh the Hong Kong drama is classic. Well pretty much something like that.
Ah, I meant Dream of the Red Chamber, AKA Hóng Lóu Mèng, AKA Stone Story.
Ah that. Even as a Chinese myself, I didn't understood why people like it either. But apparently it is a masterpiece and is a must read classic literature.

Same here. I gave up reading Hong Lou Meng halfway but I managed to finish Journey to the West, The Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The drama in Hong Lou Meng reflects the culture at the time, and depicts heroics and virtues in historical China's every day life. Specifically, in a period where family was seen as sacrosanct. It always struck me as a classic in the way that it revealed much about historical China, and less because the drama was particularly good. Especially today, where one's experiences with society are so different from what Hong Lou Meng depicts anyway.
