I keep putting this off for a while because of the unexpected ending. I've watch dramas like this where the female lead gets revenge by slowly building up her status. Her schemes and intelligence help her overcome many obstacles on the way and she succeeds in the end like [The Story of Yanxi Palace]. Finally, I start watching this it's pretty addicting. I keep on yearning for the romance between the two main leads rather than watching her sisters trying to frame her for the 3423758345th times. Their bonds are too strong and unbreakable no matter what stands in their way and I just FREAKING LOVE IT.

So like does Jung Won likes Gyeo Wool? They don't have many moments together but I just ship them so hard

I just hope the director will surprised us instead of following the WEBTOON [IF YA'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN]. If JoJo abandoned Sun Oh for the second time IMA HATE

AHHHH, I've been waiting for so long. I'm really looking forward to LITTLE FISH FAIRY AND DEMON PRINCESS <3

The major criticisms isn't all about the drama itself. I agree that the drama did start out well until episode 20~24 then it just went straight downhill. It became boring so I stop watching and didn't get to finish but I heard some spoilers that Qin Sang die. <- What's wrong with China and their sad ending, honestly ZZZZ. Anyways, that also become the reason why I don't wanna finish the drama.

The support casts did really well with their assign role. MASTER CHUL MIN DID A FANTASTIC JOB. SHE STANDS OUT THE MOST IN THE ENTIRE DRAMA AND I JUST LOVE HER. I don't wanna go to the details about Cheng Xiao's acting anymore. It's just bad. The two main lead did not meet our expectations. Most people have high expectation of Arthur and he didn't really show his potential which is why a lot of people are disappointed.

- There's no chemistry between both leads whatsoever and it's not even relevant to the story. She legit just there to follow him around then say some nice words to him to encourage him ig? [The character].I couldn't figure out the purpose of her character tbh. [I think it's because Qin Sang was so poorly portrayed that I don't really have anything good to say about her]. Her character was probably just there for a love interest. Most of the time, the drama just became plain and unwatchable if the love interests can't express their feelings and their eyes are just dull when they look at each other. Their scenes are truly just feels cringed and unbearable.

I find Gyu Ri annoying and I legit was so mad at her in the beginning. She's taking advantage of Ji Soo's nice personality and play with his mind then completely ruin his life by being nosy. I kinda forgive her for that because that's where we get the whole plot from. Gyu Ri's personality isn't bad at all. She did not abandon Ji Soo even though she totally can and get away with it because she's RICH ofc... Gyu Ri always finds ways to help Ji Soo when he's in danger and not a complete weak bitch who only know how to cry/ act like a victim. She lives up to her mistakes and tries to fix it somehow. She also helps Ji Soo in many MANY circumstances.
- Gyu Ri is a rich girl but I don't think she's spoil as her parents always set high expectations of her and want her to take over their family business. You could see that she's totally fed up with it and that's why she wants to do business with Ji soo.

I didn't expect this drama's rating to be this low. I thought this drama was really interesting. Full of mystery, and not as predictable. The writers playing with our minds about Ji Chul and Jong Bum's connections. I guess Jong Bum's character isn't everyone's cup of tea.

LOL? Is this a joke? First or not, it's a lead role. You should have known that people have a lot of expectations for a LEAD ROLE. Her acting is just plainly BAD. If your argument is FIRST TIME then I know a lot of actors who act in their first drama as a small support role and despite that, they did a splendid job. Every actor will receive praise and criticisms for their performance, that's how the industry works. You're telling me she works hard for this drama? I'm not going to question her hard work, but her performance in Legend of Awakening doesn't prove otherwise. She can't even portray her character well or express her emotions. I hope she will reflect on her FIRST drama and improve in her future projects.

The cost production for The Untamed wasn't high, but they still manage to pull off and rise in popularity. BRUH, Not gonna lie but they casts hella handsome actors. The Untamed was highly anticipated by loyal novel fans and I'm glad they stick to the novel and doesn't change much except the BL concept. It was a nice drama tbh even though there are CGI/effects flaws due to low budget but I still love it.

Yea, that's why most of the Chinese dramas are ruined not because of the story plot itself but because of bad acting. If the actors can't portray the character well and live up to the audience expectation then the whole drama would just be a joke no matter how good it is. ZzzZ Feel the same way with Legend of Awakening, there are many good support casts who sway my emotions and they are the reason why I want to continue to give this show chances but when you keep seeing the MAIN LEAD WHO CAN'T ACT, it just become hella annoying.

My logic is that once you starred in a drama, the writer/ production crew can see your potential and casts you as main leads. I'm replying to the person above is that, because XiaoZhan and Yibo have starred in dramas before, they can show off their acting skills which are why the production crew casts them for The Untamed without going through the process of auditioning unlike Wen Ning, Xue Yang, Xing Chen roles. Those who are just starting out their career has to audition to show off their acting skills to the production crew so that they can be cast and my argument tied to Cheng Xiao who also just started out her acting career but did not go through any audition probably because of connections and a big company of course, does my explanation make sense now?

Bruh, You stated that Xiao Zhan and Yibo didn't have any major role and my point is that they do and have starred in many dramas whether it's important or not. MY POINT STANDS that the production crew sees their potential in those dramas and cast them because of their skills not because of connection. WHICH MEANS WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT they have TALENT and THEY CLIMB IN POPULARITY BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN POTENTIAL NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE KISSING THE PRODUCTION CREW ASSES.

I'm not comparing The Untamed with Legend of Awakening because they are very different. I'm just arguing about the casts and actors in Legend of Awakening. The Production crew spent so much money for this drama but the casts does not live up to expectation. Cheng Xiao just started her acting career and already have many main leads which makes me wonder if she even audition for the drama and the production crew did not see that she lacks a lot in acting before casting her but then again, there are many connections that can overlook talents like another person said in the above comment.

I'm saying they show off their potential in acting which means they have the skills that's why the production crew casts them for The Untamed. I did not say anything bad about their acting?

My argument was that there are actors out there who just started their career but already have many main roles in their upcoming drama without going through the process of auditioning and just straight up getting cast. They can't show their acting skill or portray the drama at all. Unlike other actors whom start out as supporting roles and slowly climb up to gain their popularity. Please read my original statement.

"Xiao Zhan also has many support roles that greatly impact the drama" <- Many, 4 dramas is considered many for me [before The Untamed] TO SHOW OFF HIS POTENTIAL AND ACTING SKILLS THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN INTERESTS IN HIM AND CAST HIM FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. If you're here to argue about XiaoZhan and Yibo then you can go because that's not what my argument about.

After all, Xiao Zhan and Yibo has starred in many dramas whether it be supporting roles or main roles, it doesn't matter if they are lead or not. They still play a major part of the drama they are in, not guest role but support role that has an impact in the drama if you know what I'm saying. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT EVEN MY POINT? MY POINT IS THAT THEY DEBUT AS ACTORS BEFORE THAT'S WHY PRODUCTION CREW TAKE AN INTEREST IN THEIR SKILL AND CAST THEM UNLIKE OTHER ACTORS WHOM JUST START OUT THEIR ACTING CAREER AND HAD TO AUDITION FOR THE ROLE. COMPARE TO THE ONE WHO STRAIGHT UP HAVE SEVERAL MAIN LEADS ROLE WHEN THEY JUST START THEIR ACTING CAREER LIKE CHENG XIAO. My argument is still relevant whether Xiao Zhan or Yibo has big project or small project. Why can't you understand my argument? The whole point wasn't even about Xiao Zhan or Yibo but apparently that's all you care about LOL.

I never said many dramas as in main leads. They are starred in "MANY DRAMAS" as in support and main leads not just the main lead alone.
Read my statement again "Xiao Zhan also has many support roles that greatly impact the drama"

Yibo has many main roles before The Untamed to show off his acting skills. He was in Love Actually and Gank Your Heart. Xiao Zhan also has many support roles that greatly impact the drama. (Main roles in Super Star Academy and Oh My Emperor). Even if they didn't have any main roles, that doesn't change my point here. They appear in many dramas that show their potential as great actors which is why production crew specifically casts them for other dramas. unlike some actors who just start out their acting career but already have many main roles in their upcoming dramas with out potential or skills in acting.
[ Please look at my point, does not have anything to do with Yibo and Xiao Zhan having main roles, they were just there as examples ]

I was looking forward to every episode because the plot was very interesting in the beginning and mid ep. Everything went downhill when Lu Ping's master die. I legit find no joy in watching this series after he die. I love the suspend and major twists that the story provide to keep the viewer on their seats, but it just die down and became boring.

Yibo and XiaoZhan made their acting debut way before The Untamed with many dramas. They have the potential that's why the production crew specifically casts them without going through the "audition" stage for the role unlike other The Untamed characters like Wen Ning, Xue Yang, Xing Chen, etc since they just starting out their acting career.

I'm giving Cheng Xiao as an example, she had just made her acting debut in 2020 and already have lead roles with many upcoming dramas. Did she not go through audition stages for the leading role or did the production crew just specifically cast her without seeing her "acting." Well, I guess you are right about connections that can overlook talents. I would just feel bad for other talented actors who only get small supporting roles and slowly climb up the ladder then there's someone who just starting out and already at the top of the mountain with no sweats. But I guess, being an idol with a population can be a major impact on your acting career as well.
NOTE: I don't hate Cheng Xiao, she's talented when it comes to singing, dancing. AN IDOL.
