kinda similar ml dies and comes back after 12+ years.
although in TU the ml can stay back as he was brought back to life due to a ritual.
both ml set out to solve the reasons of their deaths and also just like in RW lot of people believe that the ml was the murderer.
also get to see sibling bonds although its a bit of a sad story for the siblings in TU
TU is a Chinese costume drama. but you should give it a try.
warning ?? it keeps getting sad every time you rewatch the drama.

The Untamed and Returned Master share themes of brotherhood, martial arts, and a complex fight between good and evil. Both series follow powerful protagonists who return after presumed death or disappearance, only to uncover conspiracies and rekindle relationships. Their journeys blend action, loyalty, and emotional depth, making them appealing to fans of wuxia with a touch of mystery and redemption.

reminded me of a mini gl version of the untamed but with less censorship

- both historical
- both fantasy
- characters/couple are similar (one is stern and introverted the other is playful and extroverted)

Sibling relationships:
The Untamed is the most beautiful masterpiece which has top-notch sibling relationships. The bond between the 3 Yummeng siblings is very strong and the love the 2 brothers and 1 sister have for each other is one of the main focuses of the drama. The same strong sibling relationship (2 brothers and 1 sister) is portrayed beautifully in Rebel the Thief who stole the people.

Both Legend of Yun Qian and The Untamed are historical Chinese dramas with a a bit of magical twist, and they also both focus on a queer couple (although it's mainly subtext in The Untamed).

Both original novels of these two series carry quite realistic, dark and gory undertones. Like it would depict deaths, murders and corpses in a shuddering, gruesome manner (for both bad guys and good guys alike). They censored and tone down this aspect of the story when they adapted them into TV dramas, but they still try to show/hint at the darkness in the characters and story.

Both series were very closely adapted from their novel version, so I believe this is one of the many reasons why they became such a hit.

The difference is one is bromance/boys' love while the other is romance. One is wuxia and the other is not.

Beyond evil is bromance and The Untamed is bromance/bl. Both show has definitely dark side and humoristic part. Also, in both show we can see 'finding the truth and noticing long time victims'. Dynamic between leads are similar in these shows. Two of them are super good quality shows, definitely recommend

I'm still remember the first time I watched this movie, I thought "The tension between the male leads is kind of intense omg?"
The bromance between Qi Ling and Silver is so cute, periodt (Master-Disciple relationship). They really look good together. This has the drama version as well but I don't really like the drama version that much.

Qi Ling (Played by Cheney Chen) works as a busboy when some suspicious guests, of which one professes to be a member of Noble Lords, bring havoc to the inn. Killed by a vicious creature which resembles a white lion with wings, Qi Ling is saved and resurrected by the Noble Lord named Silver Priest (Played by Kris Wu). Silver Priest tells the young man that he has chosen Qi Ling to become his disciple and successor as a Noble Lord.

*From the beginning to end it will make you crack up
* Donghua version

Scum villain’s self saving system is a comedic webnovel that is about Shen Yuan who, by an accident is transmigrated into the scum villain of a Stallion novel which is the exact same scum villain, Shen Qingqiu, who will meet a brutal death at the end of the novel by the protagonist’s hands (Luo Binghe). He realizes that in order to survive, in order to fix the plot, he must fix his relationship with Luo Binghe first.
