Not the same as reading the source material but the youtube channel Overly Sarcastic Productions has great overviews/retellings of mythology/legends/ancient stories and they have a great ongoing series on Journey To The West and some decent one off eastern myths along with western stuff which they generally cover more. Especially since the source is in another language and a lot of it isn't super accessble to modern readers without being retold anyways I think it's great.
