Can we all acknowledge this drama is best described as 'inspired by' the source material, and drop all expectations of it being a faithful adaptation?

I just finished watching it and I loved it! The plot twist in the second to last episode. Blew my mind but kinda…
I thought it was a perfect little gem of a series.

People be having different expectations, that's all.

I just thought it was a hilarious counterpoint to when the mask is taken off to reveal that really ugly scrunched up mug. Totally missed the double meaning there. ^^

PS ~ while you were on hiatus there was a drama called 'Maiden Holmes' which I quite enjoyed and highly recommend to you.

Keeps making me want to put on a tie-dyed skirt and smoke something questionable.
Just watching ep 21 with the walking scene ~12-15 mins in. lmfao. Not just the sound director! XD There is no way twanging Wu's hair makes that sound...

The most annoying Flute sound I've ever heard ,, What was the sound director thinking ? I love the drama so much…

The fact is not the sausage that make it vulgar but the chanting is. But i still like Oscar in whichever version…
I've been wondering whether they were trying to make the kiwi part of the sausage in-joke. That is, kiwis being oval shaped and hairy (wink wink), but I don't know why they couldn't just stick with the sausage line of joke.

I'm not against a novel being adjusted (so to speak) when it's translated on to the screen, so long as there is some reason or rhyme to the change. But what did changing to a kiwi achieve in the end?

Oh dear. I hope this isn't one of things where, once it's pointed out, from now on you'll always notice it. I'd hate to have ruined it for you. ><

Yeah. Slightly muffled enunciation. Kinda bland intonation. It's not to say I wouldn't like such a dopey sounding voice in a close friend. It's very soothing. But that's precisely the problem. A voice that'll send me off to a sound sleep better than a cup of camomile tea isn't exactly the voice I'd expect in a daring young protagonist.

It's just my opinion, and as apocalib mentioned 'to each their own'. It's not stopping me from enjoying the series.

Edit:
A good comparison is the voice of the character of the Master. Clear. Concise. Infused with ... I don't what the best word is... but infused with sufficient dramatic intent to be interesting and not send me off to sleep.

All you had to do is ask!

I have a vague recollection reading a translated article of a director (or some similar position) who was had hired Xiao Zhan before The Untamed came out and had become famous.

When I say vague, I mean vague. I don't have much confidence in my memory.

"....so I'm not sure which early work you are referring to...."

I reserve the right to be utterly wrong.

; )

It seemed to get a bit better and be a little less like someone speaking after they'd suffered a concussion after the 1 episode had past. Maybe I'm adapting. ^^

hmmm

Well I did hear this was like, one of his first acting gigs or something aong those lines, and I'm only 2 episodes in, so we'll see how it goes along as it gets further into the story. ^^

Mind, I don't speak Chinese, this is purely IMHO from the voice.

It's completely lacklustre. Bland. There's no character in it. More than that, he sounds like he'd have difficulty with an IQ test. It sounds like he's got half his throat closed, or has a cold and not only has his nasal passages blocked, but is just about knocked out from the cold meds.

Just IMHO.

Edit : Someone please tell me this isn't Xiao Zhan's actual speaking voice. I can't believe it.

I keep putting this on hold because of the obnoxious and annoying female characters around Tang Fan and Sui Zhou!!!…
Have never read the source material. Loved the series as it is.

What plot holes are you referring to?
Replying to 10katie01 Jan 17, 2021
If you're looking for bromance stories I highly recommend Sleuth of Ming Dynasty.
Totally a quality series. ^^

Kept reading and answered my own question.Damn. Can't believe they cut something so hilarious out of the live…
Would've been great situational comedy set up though, you gotta admit.

still hesitating because of the 0 romance and the 40 eps long. is it really worth it?
Stories don't have to be about OTP romantic relationships, they can be about other things.

Yes, it's worth it.
Replying to TheDarkAngel100 Jan 17, 2021
Is it good ?? Is there any romance or atleast some bonding and chemistry between the ml and fl
It's not a romance really, though you can read between the lines with some characters if you've a mind to.

It could be said it's a romance not of sexual love, but a romance of the relationships built, the growth developed and the trials overcome through specifically the world of online gaming, and competition.

Because it's not a romance it's not really a ML + FL story, however bonding is built with new relationships, and reflected upon by reviewing past relationship history of existing relationships (again, by relationship I'm not referring to the sexual kind).
