It’s a short film. it’s about a blind guy, Po Xiao (Played by Ding Cheng Xin) who has a cultivation manual (the heart sutra) tattooed on his body which make people are trying to capture him. So the other guy, Feng Ren (played by He Chang Xi), he's trying to protect Po Xiao.
So, the whole plot is basically the two of them running away and then some heartbreaking stuff happens, and then more heartbreaking stuff happens, but they get a happy ending at the end.
This movie is actually the second time these two actors acted together, which is great because their chemistry is freaking lit. And the director for this movie is Guo Jingming, who also the director of the Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity, L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties and Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition as well.

In case you like Ren's character you will find him very similar to Lan Zhan from The Untamed.

One of the actors have acted in both the titles, as a side role in The Untamed and as the lead role in The Male Fairy Fox of Liaozhai 3. Both titles have a focus on the soulmate relationship and love between two male martial artists. The Untamed has a lot of other plots going on too, but that is because it is a series and it has enough time to explore all the other plots. TMFFL's main plot is the relationship between the main leads. Both titles are good.

The whole story of both of the shows feels odly familiar to each other. The pain and suffering when watching the series, left big impact on me, i can't even explain why and how, it just did. You can find bromance in both of them, that's probably why you here. The Spirealm takes place in our world how we know it, but with some future developments. It tells story about people being stuck in a game, VR to be exact. However, The Untamed takes place in ancient China, which is totally different from The Spirealm, but it still has some similarities between them. The whole story is pretty comlicated if you ask me in both of the series. You'll have to really pay attention, if you miss something, you can get lost easily. There are lots of good side characters, which is not really common, they're very likeable and greatly played out. But, if i'm gonna talk about acting, The Untamed made me laugh by the worst acting i've ever seen. The acting doesn't include main characters, they were extraordinary. I'm gonna talk about side side characters. They weren't almost seen, maybe that's why it was so bad. Just look at some fighting scenes, you can see clearly what i'm talking about. I think they forgot that we can see them, i don't know.
The Untamed is lacking some good CGI effects, it's something that i hated when i fisrt watched it. But don't be mistaken, the show is really good overall, but this is something that stands out a lot. There's no way we can change it, let's just recognize the fact and move on.
I feel that if you liked one of these, you'll like the other. It has the same vibe and energy, terrifying and tension moments, sad and torturing scenes, but also some nostalgic and pleasant moments that makes you feel odly satisfying. Also, both of them are a threat to Chinese censorship, which led to some unexpected actions. So, if you like scandals, this two shows will make you cry because of it. I hope you'll enjoy it. Have a nice day

The Untamed might be more darker and full of more fantasy, but the plot is similar. The main characters of The untamed, (reserved vs unruly), also attended a school and had to deal with politics during their adventures.

The bromance in Soul Snatcher is just as strong as the one in The Untamed. Give Soul Snatcher a try, it is a feel good movie that will relax you and leave you feeling light.
Warning : Soul Snatcher is not a BL, only a bromance. So if you are looking for a title that only has a BL relationship at it's center then Soul Snatcher may not be for you. However, I suggest you try it as something about the movie is so simple and beautiful it will move you. Kind of like watching a nice Disney movie, like tangled.

-Both are bls, even though the untamed is sold as a bromance;
-It involves reincarnation;
-In both, a tragedy occurs that leaves the couple separated for years;
-One part of the couple remembers all the events that took place, while the other part doesn't have much idea of what really happened.
In The Untamed the couple has incredible chemistry and the story has a lot of time to be well developed, it's really worth giving this bl a chance, even if there are no kissing scenes.

Xiao Zhan combines both productions. Both have become a huge success, among others thanks to the special charm of this actor / singer. Both brought him great popularity and publicity. Xiao Zhan received an invitation to "Our Song" because of the success of "The Untamed". It is this drama that NaYing speaks after the first meeting with Xiao Zhan.
Ayunga also had a small share in "The Untamed", specifically in the music CD released as a promotion of "The Untamed".
