Incredible story with fire music and pour acting, but you will get used to it!!!
First of all, it´s one of my favorite Dramas. I already have watched it four times. Since it´s was released back in 2019 it does not need another review. I woult like to ad something nonetheless.The story is incredible! I did not read the book but I know it´s a BL adaptation. It´s got quite the fanbase. I watched it because of the recomendations and fell in love with it. I must say that even if you don´t know the source material, you can fall in love with it! And I personaly don´t mind, that it lacks any of the BL stuff, because of cencorship! In fact, I think it´s better of without it. You can feel the love between the two ML despite it!
Story: There is -1 Minuspoint for some plotholes, and -1 for the mess in the beginning. The drama did not need a timeswitch, even if it´s in the book source, wich I don´t know of. It woult have been better with a linear storyline. 8/10
Acting/Cast: There are some problems with the directing and major problems with excessive chinese overacting. So I have to deduct here more points! But you will get used to it, and if you make it till the middle of the drama, you don´t mind anymore. Xiao Zhan is one of the best actors here. Without him, the drama woult not been successful! But I must say, I´m not a fan of his acting in generall. In other drama´s he left me with a bad impression. I´m honestly surprissed, but I guess he´s just a better actor than the rest. The worst actors in major roles were Wang Zhuo Cheng (Jiang Cheng), Wang Hao Xuan (Xue Yang) and Zhu Zan Jin (Meng Yao). Zhu Zan Jin did remind me sometimes of the Terminator, and I had to hold my laughter when I saw his robotic movements! 6/10
Music: It´s one of the best composition for a CDrama I heard so far. 10/10
Rewatch Value: for me 10/10 ... love the story!

Really recommend watching it! It is very touching, sad and funny. You get to see the characters develop and change throughout the story which is very satisfying to watch. Very few dramas make an impact on me and this one definetly did and many scenes were so touching that I could not hold my tears back and I will definitely re-watch this. I had put this drama on hold for quite a while but finally decided to watch it and it was the best decision in my life. I cried, I laughed and I learned a lot.

Bonding between Main Leads!!!!!
I have rewatched TU and still I love it. I listen to its sound tracks every week, I like their music, their costumes and everything. Sometimes I connect to storyline somuch that I forget everything. It is my favorite C-Drama. I have eatched about 5-6 wuxhia dramas and this is still tops the list. The bonding between the cast is so excellent .... I just love it. The little naughtiness of the first lead and seriousness of the second lead makes me happy. sometimes chinese dramas have a bit of overacting but this drama is just love. I personally love it.Was this review helpful to you?

This review may contain spoilers
This is the best bromance drama ever and thus is coming from someone who doesn’t like bromance . If you read the book or know something happened between then they you can see the love between them it so cute that you forgot this is a bromance . Oh and the cute story of lan yuan and how he is pretty much the kid of them. But it is sad when everyone started to hate on Wei Ying but the only one that was always there for him is lan wang ji and his sister but sadly she passed away ?.But seriously if you’re someone you is begging in bl drama but want something for beginners this is the one for you. You will love the cemetery is so beautiful

THE BEST CHINESE DRAMA I'VE WATCHED EVER!
This is my first chinese drama and probably the first drama that I've dedicatedly and devotedly watched. I'm so glad it's on netflix. It introduced alot of new things to me and broke down barriers. I laughed and cried at certain moments and I also fell in love with the actors and how the drama was made craftfully with their best. Even tho it doesn't have a huge budget that doesn't lessen the quality of the drama. The actors, directors and all the staff of cql did a very great job despite of censorship under their noses. I'VE COME TO APPRECIATE CHINESE CULTURE MORE AND MORE IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CULTURE. 💖💖💖Was this review helpful to you?
I personally expecting a little more with the storyline after all the raving, but having said that still solid 8-9/10 story with absolutely amazing chemistry and acting between the actors. I can totally relate why xiao zhan become famous overnight with this one. His character WWX is so loveable that "IF" the storyline was bad, i would probably still watch it for the sake of him hahaha.
This is definitely a yes!! Must watch!!

Very worthy drama to watch
At first episode, I really have no clue at all. It seemed I cannot enjoy the story because it was confusing. Still, I re-watch episode 1, considering this drama gain high scores from most review platforms. Still didn't have strong feeling. I continued to episode 2, and starting get the idea. Episode 3 and so on, I really get myself into this series.I read the review from original novel, which is originally contains boy loving story. But in the series, adjusted to friendship. I really can say this is a brilliant idea, so most audience can enjoy the story without controversial issues, and passed from censorship as well.
I love the actors/actresses portrayed their roles. Especially Wei Wuxian, reminds me Jiang Xiao Yu of Handsome Siblings (I watched Handsome Siblings first, before The Untamed) who has resourceful, cheerful, and talented character.
Again, I'm falling in love with Meng ZiYi. She really got into the role. One of the reason I watch The Untamed is because of her. She really did it in Legend of Two Sisters in Chaos.
Love the music, either opening, ending, and music score. This series treated music skill specially. The music score made the scenes even more emotional.
Now I plan to watch The Untamed Special Edition.

I freaking LOVED it!!!
Unexpectedly the actors were awesome, the casting of the actors are amazing!!! The cast had very good chemistry!Recommend people to watch it, though I sped up x2 ><
The pacing was good enough that I was not bored until ep 27. But it was only for 1/2 ep that I was bored, then the storyline was back on track again.
This story really makes me think that although the villain is bad, they are not that bad. Likewise, the protagonist is not all that good (though everything he does was with good intentions).
What is RIGHT and what is WRONG? There will always be gray areas whereby we will always stumble into... Rumours are the true killers. But who started the rumours? Who spread the rumours? Who continued the rumours? We are actually all killers, saying without thinking and killing without feeling remorse...
Although this show might seem happy go lucky all the time, the underlying core of the show really made me think a lot:)

WANGXIAN INVENTED LOVE!
This is hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. Despite the censorship, the actors did an incredible job accurately portraying their characters and the relationship. In fact, I’d even say this was gayer than some of the “gay” shows I’ve watched before lmao. I once read somewhere that “the characters shouldn’t have to kiss in order for you to realize they like each other” and this show is the perfect example of how two characters can be so in love without having kissed each other. Wangxian invented pining, invented being soulmates, invented LOVEI know they’re officially married with a confirmed son (sizhui) in the book and I do love the donghua, but cql is still my favorite version. Seriously, the acting, storyline, pacing, visual effects & production, characters... amazing. I love it so so much!

good drama
I remember I first tried watching this and had no clue what it was based on so the plot was very confusing to me. But as with most dramas, after the first two episodes, I was hooked and had every day to look forward to when binging it. A very good fix.I love the leads and the story has something for everyone. The ost also feels very emotional when hearing it after finishing it. Although, the ending was a bit disjointed and I'd rec looking for an explanation on youtube as that's what I had to do. But other than that, it was great. At one point I thought I'd never be able to move on from it, that's how attached I was to the storyline. Also, some people have said the first half before it "resumes" where it left off at the start is boring, but I disagree. The backstory was absolutely essential for the present and would've been so nonsensical if they had jumped back in first without showing us.
