Title I-LAND
I feel you. I, myself...I-Land was my first survival Korean show that I got fully immersed and integrated into.…
You can try to watch yg survival shows. Especially , in my opinion, YG TREASURE BOX is a really good show, it let us see the singing ability of almost each contestant, and the show feel real. The struggle to debut feel real, the trainees are themselves, they don't try to present a certain image, and almost all decisions are made by yg. The survival show that decided the debut of WINNER and the members of IKON are also good. I am a YG FAMILY STAN, but i really think this kind of shows made by YG are the best. I was also dissapointed by ILAND, since the beginning. I feel that because the show had given almost all the power to decide who will debut to fans, almost all the contestant has to behave how is expected of them, and then they had not choice but to continue to present that character that they have created. That's why the majority of them come across as restricted, and knowing that they have to act constantly, always being tense and cautious to not do something wrong. The only contestant that managed to attract my attention because he was acting natural, and that his actions did not seem fake was Jay, and i think this is the main reason why he managed to get so popular and debut, because i don't think he is very talented. Anyway i won't watch the next seasons of ILAND, because i don't want to spend so much time watching, voting for a show that make the contestants feel so pressured and feel necessary to act, because the show are putting them in that situation, and not be able to at least letting the viewers know who can sing the best. How the hell they didn't show even in a single episode the real singing ability of the contestants when they are singing in teams, how are we supposed to vote fairly then? I think the entire fault lies with the format of the show, it makes the contestants have not room to breathe.

First, I know it can be annoying when people keep bringing up the book version of a series when talking about…
Wann has little presence in the novel compared with the series but i like his easy going, optimistic, his vibe of always knowing what to do and say in every situation.
Pure has the biggest character development in the novel in my opinion, and is beautiful to see how is influenced after the encounter with all his friends, and Folk. Really, Pure commitment to Folk and his persistence to never separate and not give up without trying everything to mke their relationship work, especially when Folk is hurt because of that misunderstanding years after they are together, it makes the reading very satisfying.
Hope is not boring reading all my writing, as a avid bl novel reader, beside other things, i have moments when i want to share my views .

The things i like the most about the novel is:
- the relaxing atmosphere of the novel,
- the writing style of the author, it makes it very easy to understand and imagine what it is happening
- the fact that the author imagined the characters in various period of time, my favorite being when they are in the faculty and when they are working
- the inclusion of the relations of the couples with some members of their family; Pai and his many worries about the fact that he has to inherit his father place and continue the familly line, and how this conflict is resolved, Folk and how his close relationship with his brother are influencing the relationship with Pure
- not the last, the close bonds of Pai, Wann, Pure, Folk, Itt. It makes all the reading worth, they are always at each other side when needed and they are able to talk about almost everything.

Individually, i don' like especially the personality of Itt, i can't figure out exactly his personality, and it has many changes in behaviour, maybe the writer wanted for Itt to be a bit of a mistery, Pai is a bit too proper, he almost give up of his relationship with Itt to conform to what is expected of him, he tries to be perfect all the time, and that can be boring at times. Pure and Folk are my favorite couple, i just love Folk, he is the most honest, one of the best writted characters in the novel, his scenes have impact. Pure, in contrat is more practical and is the force behind the relationship, something like that, Unexpectedly after he is committing to Folk, he goes all the way.

FreshKicks is right, Itt is Mr. 950. It`s a bit embarassing now when i read again and i realised what i huge mistake…
Yes, I know. I discovered and started reading the hanayuki translation when the translator was translating the first chapters but i am spoiled by all the new or put in hold chinese bl novels, that are more easy to read, that i put a stop temporary in reading this novel. If i did not read before the translation with google translate and spoiled myself, it will be different, but i appreciate Hanayuki, it's better than nothing, and he is trying his best.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake, i hate to say incorect information to people, so you saved me. I originaly was not attracted a lot by the novel version of Pai and Itt , but in the series, for them is like they used the brackground and the main events from the novel, but made changes to characters that i will never understand why it is necessary. Itt especially, why the hell the writter made him to so mean and cold to Pai, that atitude will no work in attracting anyone to like you in real life. I iiked what you wrote, ``who would want someone like that as their boyfriend?`` Your really replied well to cath1995 , and because of the changes made to Itt in the series, compared with the novel, we can only hope that at least we will get a easy to shallow explanation of Itt behviour, but i will be dissapointed if Pai will just let it slide, and not ask for a proper explanation.

I still don't understand a thing about ep 9, even when it's the most interesting episode... Can someone explain…
FreshKicks is right, Itt is Mr. 950. It`s a bit embarassing now when i read again and i realised what i huge mistake i made. I don`t know why i was so sure that it was Folk, maybe because when i read the novel it was from google translate from thailand and i didn`t like very much Pai and Itt as characters, i was more focused in reading the story of Folk and Pure and i did lot of flash-forward for many of not essential events. I still hope that someday will be available a good translation of the novel, it`s worth the reading, and having actual live action counterparts make`it more easy to get attached to the characters. I always ended up liking more the novels that are adapted in series/movies.

The book version of Pai is sassy and more confrontational. For some reason the series version is more passive.…
The thing that i am the most disappointed from the series is the way Pure is described, and the actions he seems to take in the next 3 episodes. He still not changed ever a little from how he was before, how will they make the audience believe he really changed in soo little time, why the hell the writter get him involved the relationship between Beau and Wann ( Wann did not find anyone he was interested in this period of time in the novel). I am waiting for a really believable story to explain his change of mind in the next episode. I mean Pure was really an asshole to Folk in the novel for not making his relationship with Folk clear enough, and spending a lot of time with Folk, taking advance of Folk not telling him to fuck off, and that he is hurting not knowing where he stands with Pure. But i feel in the series, already Pure is making more stupid actions by pursuing Beau after getting with Folk, and he seeems too used to his way of sleeping around and not being open with falling in love with someone, that i am afraid that even when he is getting together with Folk, it will not feel naturaly, genuine.

Folk is Mr, 950, not Itt. The hint is in episode 7 when Folk asked Pai to tell him where room 950 is, but Pai…
It is the the novel too. In the novel Folk was the the Mr.950 too. If i remember well, but i'm not very sure, in the novel don't explain in detail too how Folk knew what Pai likes But i guess Folk managed to find a way to know.

I really believe that this series would have been much better if the characters and the succesion of the scenes resemble more with the ones from the book. The depth, complexity of the characters and believity of some of the actions pales in comparision with the novel. Some actions the characters do, come across as childish, immatureor nosense, i don`t think they are, but they seem to be. I think Wann is the more down to earth, consistent and the best writted character in the series, and is different from how is described in the novel. I`ts to early to make a firm opinion about Folk, but seems to be portrayed similar to how is in the novel. Itt is acting to creepy, what the hell man, if it was in reality, i will never accept his actions, and be able to believe in his feelings after all his manipulations, even if it is for my sake ( again Itt is portrayed as to mean and agresive compared with the novel). Pai come across as to passive, depressive even, and with to much lack of confidence in himself compared with the novel, Pure is to messed up, broken and with to many things to fix to be able to make me believe that he will he totally invested in his future relationship with Pure and really deserving of his love, I am thankful to this series because it gave me actual persons to imagine as the characters from the novel, it makes the reading always much more enjoyable

Folk is Mr, 950, not Itt. The hint is in episode 7 when Folk asked Pai to tell him where room 950 is, but Pai did not remember that moment, so he don`t know for sure who really Mr.950 is. He will find out soon.

Usually I'm ok with a bestfriend being the wing person but not when you're purposely getting in the way of someone…
Yes, i mean i feel they give Pure too many scenes that makes him look bad, even put him in situtions when it don`t mess up things in purpose, and the scenes from the next episode made him seem that he will not change that easy. I`m afraid that the change for the better will not be believable and realist when it will happe, if they keep adding scenes when he keep messing up. The scriptwritter made Pure to be much more affected and messed up from the past relationship and hard for anyone to trust him compared to Pure from the way he was described in the novel. In the novel the issue that prevented Pure to realise quickly that he love Pure enough to want to finally commit to relationship to Folk, it was his belief that no one will love him sincerely. It took for Folk to decide to put a stop to their uncertain relationship and tell him that being with him hurts, because he can`t take being another of his sexual encounters, for Pure to change. Pure never looked at anyone and never persued anyone after he is sleeping with Folk in the novel. I feel Pure is used to add a spice to the relationship between Wann and Beau, to make Wann fight more for Beau, but is making Pure be the bad guy again and it give him
real motive, not a misunderstanding for Pure to hurt Folk. It is unfortunately that Pure have to be used in this way, when originally in the novel did not do these things.

I'm more afraid of the Chinese fans now. It's really popular in China now but just looking back at what happened…
I want to share the fact that, this is a japanese series adapted from a manga, so you can`t assume that what happened with the series writed by you above will happen here. In general, and this is really a rule most of a time, when Japan decide to make a series/movie from a manga. the adaptation is following very faithfully to what happened in the manga, only changing the succesion of some scenes or adding some scenes similar to the tone of the manga, to make the series a bit more realist. But the tone, crucial scenes and the endings are very similarily to that of the manga that is based from. The best example i can give yoe is the series: Life Senjou no Bokura( is made almost exactly the same like the manga) and Pornographer ( even trough here, the series did end a bit earlier than the ending of the manga, but i believe is a more believable and realist ending and it fit with what was happening until the ending) and the movies: Seven days (the movie is very similar with the manga) and No Touching At All and the upcoming movies, that from the trailer seem to follow the events of the manga for who they are adapted: Restart After Come Back Home, The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese, The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window. I observed that the authors of the mangas most of the time get to participate in the writing of the script too., especially when it comes to movies. I think these faithful adaptation to the source material, if the movies/series are based from mangas/noves, are possible when it comes to Japan, because of their culture, and deep respect for the authors, the belief that the manga became popular because the story and characters were writed that way, so they have no right to make toughtless changes.
In conclusion, it the manga has a happy ending or a bad ending you can be 100% sure that the adaptation will have the same ending. This manga is not completed, but for the happy/ everything will be alright tone of the manga, i am sure it will be a happy ending, and with more than just an affirmation of their feelings, because japanese actors are very professional, if they have kiss scenes to do, it will not disappoint us.

People seem hung up on the flashback aspect of the series. I wonder if there'd be as many complaints if they'd…
The complaints are not only because the story is presented as a continuous storyline, from high school to faculty, but because they`re using too many episodes to show the past( i mean what happened in high school). The scenes in the faculty, at the start of the first episode, may as well not matter, because they are like four minutes and it didn`t spoil many things that happened in the past , before the story are taking us to high school. In reality, if we skip the first 4 minutes, and until episode 7, it is just a single long flashback that is showing all that happened in high school, so the story is continuous. It is not like in Friendzone2 where the story are alternating between the flashbacks from the past and the events from the present. When they get in faculty, most likely we will not see scenes from the past anymore. It is possible the series will be appreciated more if they did`it like in Friendzone, but we will never know now.
Or if you wanted to say that, if they started from high school, without these first 4 minutes, i honestly don`t think these minutes makes that much of a difference. I personally think it was better that they were included, so as they wanted us to gives us a taste of what is happening//will happen in the present, but i think it had more chance to make a difference if they returned to the present more close to the first episode (like in ep 2-3), now the series has losed some of the anticipation from the audience.

the untamed print
Yes, The Untamed, like the majority of chinese series is draggy. Thanks god for the special series because not matter how much i like Wei Wuxian/Lan Zan and YIBO/XIAO ZHAO i didn `t have patience to watch the whole series. The majority of others characters and plots are boring and at some point the plot gets very sad and it makes you have a hard time to continue watching.
