The previous film version of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” starred Logan Lerman and others. Its adaptation of the novel aroused great opposition from the original author, Richard Russell Rick Riordan, who expressed his dissatisfaction many times.
For this episode, Riordan once revealed that he will participate in many aspects, and the drama version will be more loyal to the original work and follow the story line of the first series of the novel.
