Watched for the hype

Story is good but exactly not my genre. 50 episodes is too lengthy for me. Starting few episodes and direction is poor. Really hated that they converted bl to bromance due to chinese regulations. The novel is definitely great. Casting is superb. Only gave 8 for my favourite character Wei Wuxian. I want his chenqing and whatever lol.

Lan Zhan's headband was so cute including his poker face.

I hated the fact that every other person had 2-3 names. It maybe easier for Chinese people but it's difficult to remember all names by the international audience. Another thing, some names were too similar to be not confused. (Jin Zixun- Jin Zixuan) (Jin Guangyao - Jin Guangshan)

Maybe you can try this, it's good but just not my type.

Actors were so well chosen for the characters. Story was absolutely great.

I loved the story, I loved the characters and I just loved the overall series. This is one of those rare series/movies where it seems like the actors were made to play their parts. Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji were such beautiful souls in such different ways. The way their relationship was portrayed in the series was perfect. Not only were these two characters wonderful, the other characters like the sister, the child and so many supporting characters that just made you care for them, love them and feel for them - I think this is one of the most important elements in a good series.
So many scenes made me cry, made me laugh, made me go 'awww'. The story, the pace, the setting, the characters, everything, made this drama what it was. This is definitely one of my top dramas. I would absolutely recommend this.
There was a flaw in my opinion though. There was one scene that made me cringe because it felt forced and lame, it lasted only a few seconds but I remember it quite well. It would be interesting to know if anyone felt the same way about it or even know which scene I'm talking about haha.
Overall, one of my top picks.

FYI, I don't like 10 ratings and I think kisskh ratings are generally too high. So on kisskh I rate them relative to other dramas and which ones I would expect to see in the top rated selection.

Best film ever! The cast played their character well and music fit perfectly. I cried and laughed with each character. I've never been so addicted to any fantasy drama before but in this was another story. I love all about this drama. Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan have very good chemistry, and they're both very good looking. I mostly just watch the drama for their interactions.
Every things about this drama is beautiful and elegant , any post about it just touching my heart I love the main characters and others, thanks guys for this drama you made it so perfect, thank you for your hard work

EPIC!

Epic! I cannot say this enough. I was excited when I first read the synopsis and heard about this show. From the first minute of the 1st episode, I was hooked. I don’t think I slept more than a few hrs a day while binge watching.
The story is so well written, the CGI, script, locations ... everything done so well.
The cast, oh the cast. I thought everyone was great in this, not one slacker. But, the two main leads... stole my whole self, my whole attention! Major props to Xiao Zhan & Wang YiBo for portraying Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangji so well! The chemistry between these two...! ❤️
Xiao Zhan’s little teases and smiles, his laugh gave me life (especially when they were directed at Wang YiBo’s character Lan Zhan)..he was addictive...I got it Lan Zhan, I totally get it! With all the longing looks and smiles thrown at each other, I bought there was more between them (even if they didn’t show me the goods :))
Wen Ning & Lan Sizhui were a joy to watch as well.
This drama is well worth the 50 episodes.. it’s actually worth more. I could watch this for another season.
With the Perfect amount of drama, awesome humor thrown in, great action & a dedicated couple that redeemed themselves to each other (the only that matters :)) ... The Untamed was and is my favorite Chinese drama!
Loved every second!
I’ve already rewatched 5 times and counting!

I would give 20 stars if I could!

I can write about how I loved this series in 10,000 words and still have more to say, but one thing I’d say at the very beginning, hats off to the author of the book, it is a fantasy and one cannot help but revel in the imagination of the original author. The drama adaptation could not have been better, and the drama version owes so much to Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, for foraying into a taboo genre but coming out with flying colours! I myself have avoided watching this series, despite of liking Xioa Zhan as well as Wang Yibo, because I had this mental block of not wanting to watch a BL drama. Now that I have watched it, it is a shame to restrict this drama in one niche genre. It is so much more than that, the difference between good and evil, or the lack thereof, the love between people not necessarily related by blood, the deep friendships one forms in a lifetime, the greed that makes one do evil without thinking about retribution, the sincerity of a relationship, the sanctity of mutual affection, there is all this in this series and so much more. Each and every actor performed so well and added to the series being such a big hit, here is a drama where I cannot hate the evildoers, and cannot completely admire those who seem righteous. The whole story ultimately condenses down to having a clear conscience, and that a clear conscience is all that matters in the end. The background score and the flute and guqin tracks of the series were exceptional, and I would be suggesting this series to anyone who is willing to watch, for a very long time, or till I can find something worthy of being added to this suggestion in Chinese dramas.

Episode 50

I just finished this Amazing story! It was soooooo GOOOOD! The episodes fly by and the acting is superb. I'm curious to anyones thoughts in the last episode (50), where Wei Ying is playing his flute, which is such a beautiful melody, and he turns around, when he hears his name and he smiles. Do we get to make our own conclusion? I WANT it to be Lanz Han! They need to stay together! I'm going with that ending! LOL! Anybody agree?

Really don't hesitate to watch it....
We can mainly divide drama into three parts.
1. How the both leads grow their friendship
2. Main Leads sorrows and struggle time
3. Revenge part for their beloved ones
Everything is perfect in this drama, I like both leads their acting and expressions, I am looking forward to watch the drama Gank Your Heart as my favorite Wang Yi Bo is Main lead
Please don't hesitate watching this drama only because there is no female lead.
If you are reading comments and reviews now, please don't read anymore go a head and start watching. Everything is so good.

Enjoy watching

So this was and still is one of my favourite TV shows of 2019. It really struck a nerve with me. The acting was fantastic, as was the music and the lighting and the costumes. And don't even get me started on the chemistry between Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan. The relationship between their characters was so deep and incredibly moving. You could just see the love communicated in the littlest expressions and movements. There was absolutely no question that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were in love with each other, and that cannot have been an easy thing to convey under the rule of censorship.

Basically, The Untamed was awesome from beginning to end, not just for the quality of the acting and the story, but for its representation of LGBTQ relationships. Please, for the love of all that is good in the world, produce another season, because the world needs more stories like that.

The Story, Cast and the Acting...A series must to watch.!!

I watched this drama in the year 2020. The year of lockdown and I was new in the world of dramas. At first, I hesitated to go through this drama because of the many episodes it has. But I was tired of rom-coms and wanted to try some genres. And I found this epic series on Wetv. I was quite not clear about half of the story at first. But when I watched the specific episodes again and again I got a clear picture after a year about it.
The cast is freaking awesome. The costumes also depict their characters very well. Bromance is overflowing but it is up to mark. No showoff. A complicated yet interesting story. Once you understand the story, the linkages between the characters will be clear.
The story is epic. lots of characters. And the actors are freaking handsome and hot.
BGM and OSTs awwwwwww, I am in love with it.
It's been 4 years and still, I am not over it.
A story you will fall in love with. Give it a try who is in search of a drama with a blend of thriller, action, drama, adventure, bromance and many more.!

Very interesting adaptation of a nice novel

This Chinese drama is inspired by the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi. Despite some changes from the novel and censorship, I enjoyed it. The acting of the actors who played Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji was very good and the rest of the cast is great as well, the music was great too. The ending was very emotional. Overall, very good and lovely adaptation of a very popular danmei novel.
