The Untamed

Damn I rarely watch 50 eps kinda drama but this is def worth the watch, I haven’t read the novel nor watch the anime yet since it’s both ongoing, but reading threads and some spoilers, this drama is mostly similar to the novel n anime perhaps just some extra scenes, and I think they did a super good adaption of this whole series. Though the visual makeup eg the zombies and stuff and do better, but the characters acting are very good. The FEELS MAN. Even though it’s not Shounen Ai or Yao I but “bromance” you can feel the feels between the mc and ml and it’s perfect!!!

First of all let's clapped for the live action~~
They can air this despite the tight new rules Chinese censorship....

Story:
You cant expect the same essence as the novel because not only they are gore but the homosexual content strictly banned. The epic battle that I wish to see between Nie MingJue vs Wen Ning they just pass it. Well they 80% follow the novel, in my opinion.

Acting:
For the first 10 episode they cant entice me, the main leads acting not consistent and the chemistry none but when it come to 11 until the end they build it up but somehow they still cant do a detail acting in some scenes. Luckily the teacher who play Jin Guanyao aka A-Yao portray him perfectly his mannerism, face details. He could bring almost all of us despise him and the actor who portray my baby Huaisang too. Good Job Guys

Music and Costume:
I love all the bgm and ost when I see the anime, flute music to summon dark energy still eerie. The ost sang by most of the main cast. The costume are okay it just what the H with the headband~~~

PS: I just realize the main bad guys in here Xue Yang and A-Yao so beautiful. Both have full eyebrows and long and pretty eyelashes plus their eyes too beautiful, damn~~ As a women I feel threaten teacher Zhu Zanjin and Wang Haoxuan beautiful face could ruin a kingdom, kkkkkk

On January 1st, 2018, I was diagnosed with chicken pox. So I fortunately enlongated my 3-day New Year holiday to a 3-week break. During that period, I read the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation). I was touched and moved and obsessed. Tortured by the painful itchy pox, I was, however, comforted and calmed by the story of Wei Wuxian. In a word, I really loved this story. Though, I didn't actually got the core of WangXian at that time.
When I knew that it would be adapted into a TV drama at a time when rules banned homesexual scenes on screen (indeed there was an amazing show, Addicted Heroin, in 2016, which depicted the main characters as a couple. Since then the romantic love in BL novels has to be transformed into friendship to pass the unreasonable censorship), I was appointed. Besides, as many other fans of the novel, I was worried that maybe this would be another show that aimed to make money in this crazy IP trend in China's drama industry.
On June 27, I was trapped in military training and was not quite eager to watch the show. One of my friends did and teased about it. After finishing the semester around July 11, I started to watch the up-to-date episode about the destroy of Lian Hua Wu. I finshed watching the final episode of Chernobyl and finally got to watch The Untamed.
I think, this drama has done its best to portray love, WangXian. Many scenes, such as that trick in Cang Shu Ge and the conversation in Bai Feng Shan. My favourite one is that adventure where WWX and LWJ killed the giant evil turtle. How cute WWX appeared to invoke LWJ's congestion and the song of WangXian or the untamed whatever555 It truly brings the novel to life.
For a longt time I couldn't understand why WX is a heaven-made love! But this drama has enable me to do so!

The thing about this drama is that it’s more than just a drama. Weiying is more than just a character. Because of Xiao Zhan's amazing acting skill, I feel like I’ve known weiying so well as if we’ve been friends for years. All the characters are well written. Every role in this drama was portrayed very well. Not even an episode is boring. Yibo portrayed Lan Zhan so well. The weird thing is, lanzhan and weiying didn't converse much but u can feel their strong bonds as if a thousand words were spoken. The trust and love lanzhan has for weiying is so beautiful and pure. Looking at their first encounter, who would have thought that they'll be this close.
The ost are amazing. They got me crying all the time. The lyrics are so touching.
I don't think I'll ever get over this drama. The best Chinese drama ever! Truly a masterpiece :’)

This show is actually based off of a really great book. However they differ in one major way. The book has a lot of lewd scenes. Well watching this show although the two mains aren't in every scene you really get to know a lot about them. One is outgoing and playful but you quickly learn there is a lot more to him then that. He struggles a lot with his choices but always follows his heart. The other main is soft spoken and strict. Although he doesn't say a lot his face tells you all you really need to know. Now I bet your wondering how two opposite dynamics such as these can create such a wonderful show and the only way to explain is chemistry. The two leads has such a strong bond on screen that you really can't fake unless the actors can bond too. That's why its so great nothing seems forced you can feel their pain their smiles and their cries. With many shows its hard to connect with the main actors but in this show its not a problem in fact its hard to find another show like this. I highly recommend this series for two main reasons. One its very well written . When shows get turned into books a lot is normally left out but that isn't the case. This show wasn't rushed and sticks to the original origins. The producers and script writers take the time to really fit every important moment from the book into the show so all the pieces fit perfectly . The second reason is the fact that all the characters good or bad have their own reasons for doing what they are doing and they explain that too. I really really admire this beautiful piece of work.

Best Chinese drama

Not a fan of long episodes but this drama made me stick to my screen. Main leads r fantastic. Story is very good. hesitated bcoz of bromance tag but it's not too much or too less, it's just PERFECT. Loved a drama after long time & willing to watch it again. All I have to say is don't hesitate by BL tag. It's close to original except SOME scenes. Music is too good. Acting is damn good. Every scene is connected & love btwn leads is.... No words. This will be my all time fav Chinese drama. I laughed, cried, got angry, felt butterflies... U have to watch it till the end. Don't leave in half just bcoz u r confused, it'll clear up at the end. I still listen to this music & even it's my alarm tone (wuji). That much I love this series.

Please make season 2 and release it cause I want still to watch what will happen to them

Before I review the story please I beg to who the making the untamed drama please make another season or another project BL with the same actor of the untamed... please cause it's not enough to see in season 1 .... Please make season 2 I beg to you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏




Story - For those who love the novel and dissapointed because there's no BL in this, DON'T WORRY!! The bromance is wonderful and will make you can't stop smiling. The story is rather faithful to the novel (not exactly the same tho).. they adapted many sweet scenes of LWJ and WWX.. (Trust me, they adapted almost everything except the confession scene and steamy scenes). For the additional plots, I don't have any problem with them.. it doesn't really change anything (maybe only more screentimes for minor characters like Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli).. And I think they add a new character, Xue Chonghai, to smooth the story.. It was a big question in the novel HOW DID WWX LEARN DEMON CULTIVATION? And the story about Xue Chonghai is to answer the question..

This drama really has exceed everyone's expectations.. like, at first, in China, many the original novel fans can't accept the show (because there's no BL or Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo don't have WWX & LWJ's charm, etc) and so The Untamed only got a low rating (4.8 in douban) but it keeps on increasing after the show airing.. now it has reached 8.0!! I think it proves the beauty of this show..

Acting/Cast - Both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo did a great job in this drama!! At first, I though Xiao Zhan wouldn't suit WWX since he doesn't look like someone who talks a lot.. but I WAS WRONG.. WWX IS MADE FOR XIAO ZHAN!! And for Wang Yibo.. there're not many expressions shown by Lan Wangji here.. but I think Wang Yibo did a great job showing a cool but caring Lan Wangji~ >< The other supporting actors are new but really did a great job.. especially Yu Bin who played our little angel, Wen Ning~ like when he was stabbed, I can feel his pain too ugh.. ToT

Music - This drama has a set of beautiful songs.. the ending song, Wu Ji, sung by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and Yi Nan Ping are my favs.. Yi Nan Ping is a theme song for A Xian, A Cheng, and A Li.. the lyrics is so heartwrenching (I almost cried when the song was played).. and there are character songs too.. like Bu Wang sung by Wang Yibo for Lan Wangji's character song, Qu Jin Chen Qing by Xiao Zhan for Wei Wuxian's, Chi Zi by Yu Bin for Wen Ning's, Bu You by Liu Haikuan for Lan Xichen's, etc.. all of them have beautiful lyrics that tell the story of each characters.. MY EARS ARE BLESSED!!

Rewatch Value - DEFINITELY!! I can rewatch this wonderful drama again and again..

Overall - A must watch drama!! There is a complete set of genre inside.. comedy, mystery, friendship, family, romance..

Please I will waiting until another season or another project BL with the same actor of the untamed

THIS SHOW IS ART. this is an incredibly beautiful story filled with moments of pain but the love between the two leads fully shines through. Despite not actually showing the romantic connection between the 2 leads, I felt it in every scene they had together. Lan Zhan's love for Wei Ying was beautiful and painful. I've been searching for a show that can touch the brilliance of the untamed and the way it made feel after completion-i truly recommend you go and experience this work of art for yourself. I will forewarn that I cried at least 7 times while watching this show and that doesn't include all the tears shed while watching edits of the show

This chinese drama exceeds my expectations. It'll excites you in every episode. After watching the first episode it'll crave you for more. This series will make you laugh, cry, mad and wonder. This is a masterpiece. Stunning and spectacular.

The thing I like about this series is it'll bring you to a lot of realizations. It'll teach you to value and appreciate everyting. It'll teach you that greadiness and vengeance will just bring you evil. Don't be a mute, a deaf and a blind in the things that is obviously unfair. Voice out your opinions and perceptions. Be brave, be strong and bolder.

"Curb the violence and assist the weak. Have no regrets". The line that I cannot forget from the series because this expresses lots of emotions and promises.

And last and foremost, I truly admire the friendship of Wei WuXian and Lan Wangji. Their friendship is exceptional and real. A friendship that will make you envy. A friendship that'll make you wish and hope that you also have.

I watched the first few episodes and gave up, but after people raving about how great this series was, I stuck with it past the 13 episodes and it had me!

I don't think it's perfect - but pretty near it! There are still points where I am scratching my head - but could be due to the poor translation? (Maybe I should read the book but that's probably still not as good as the original material in Chinese!).

The actors Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo omg... amazing. The chemistry these two had *swoon*. I can't get over these two, and I love the way they are with each other, how dedicated, how loyal... soulmates, and an amazing friendship. I cannot get over how great they were, and I have rewatched series for a second time focusing on them because it is just so so amazing. I am at this point where I am feeling so empty and missing watching this series, living this series.

Also the familial relationship of Shiji and Jiang Chen with Wei Ying omg... again, this will always make me cry and hurt my heart.

I have been replaying the OST because so many of the songs are so great! But it almost makes me so sad because I can't experience their story again afresh.

I would have rated this 8 when I first finished it... but after not being able to stop thinking about it for the last week, I have to put it up to 9. I won't give it a 10 because there are some small parts where I wasn't sure what was happening, how this or that happened.

I am not a fan of Chinese Historical drama. This one made the exception. In my 34 years, this is my 2nd treasure find for chinese tv series(Legend of Fuyao was the first). The Untamed is Unique, ticklish to the Imagination and awkward, actors are good and not trying hard nor OA even though sometimes they act childish. They still look adorable????. I find this tv series exciting and not boring like most Chinese Historical that i watched and made me stopped watching while in the middle of watching. The untamed made me watched him over and over, including the behind the scene And so crazy with the ost(i wish however they created more better ost and since some of their actors are singers, they could have created songs for them). The OST is so few and that is the sad part. I like that they improvised it instead of following the script of the anime version. The visual effect is good but still hopeful for improvement with the help of technology. I am so in love with the characters. I cried and laugh and crazy about every scene. I felt sad when I am about to finish it.

I am hoping for tv series that emphasizes on friendship, bravery, magic, fantasy and more twist and unexpected ending without too much romance(bored with it, so common).
