Does the majority of the plot happen in the 1930s or the modern times?

In what time period is this movie set?
I mean is it modern times (2000s, 2010s+ it doesn’t really look like it tho, and at the same time it looks like it) or earlier, like the 90s??

I’ve got to say, actors here know how to cry.
Maybe it’s not always the most natural, everyone is different in reality, but it looks good in the series. I’ve seen many dramas, kdramas etc which had sad/melancholic scenes but the actor’s crying completely ruined the mood because it looked forced or unnatural, thus kinda “stupid” or insincere.
I’m halfway through this series and it hasn’t been a case here, so I’m glad.

Ah, I haven’t seen this one, but I heard it was funny 😂

He is so busy omg, best wishes tho! ❤️

what quotes?

Thank you! It’s very helpful

the poster got that older (circa 2000s or 2010s vibe? I don’t know but I feel it) historical drama vibe and I like it.

Did it pass censorship? Or is it never going to see the light of day (I hope not)?

I strongly recommend reading Mo Dao Zu Shi novel after (or before, if you like) watching The Untamed. The drama is good but they did change some things to have it better fit for the screen, and the novel is great, amazing. And the animated series (donghua) is fun too, it’s well made, but they changed some plot points a bit, from the second season on.
There’s also manhua (comic) and audio drama!

It’s a censored adaptation of a Danmei (BL) novel, it’s usually as far as you can get with Chinese adaptations so yes, I’d assume it a BL.

In large portions of his controversy he was framed (after finding sudden more fame after starring in World of Honour) and very quickly and effectively canceled.
From what I remember, he has friends or relatives who live in Japan and he went there for a wedding of a friend or something. He was taking pictures of the Sakura trees and in one such piaciute a part of the Yasukuni Shrine was visible.
It’s a Shrine supposed to commemorate anyone who died in service of Japan, among others in the Boshin Wars, Sino-Japanese Wars and the first Indo-China War.
The shrine lists data of people (names, origins etc) but among them there are more than thousand convicted war criminals (as Japan committed war crimes against other SA countries, China and Korea) from the Pacific War. Part of the shrine is supposed to commemorate anyone who died during World War II, but the enshrinement of war criminals, as well as the shrine's historical association with State Shinto, has made the shrine highly controversial within East Asia.
And especially countries like China or South Korea won’t tolerate visiting the shrine.
Zhang Zhe Han as a public figure, was accused of visiting it, he said he didn’t do it and (he was only in the general vicinity of it, there’s a park there as far as I know) and failed a criminal report for setting him up, but the damage was already done and he was completely totally boycotted for a year, after that he was able to come back as a singer/musician but I don’t know if much else and I doesn’t know what he is doing now.
That’s all that I know and remember from that whole scandal, I hope I didn’t mess anything up and that it’s helpful.

Same, same. At least they didn’t forget him at the end of the drama, like it sometimes happens to characters that “exit” mid-way.

So at the end, the problems got resolved, but not to the core… (for example, the president and his wife or people like the police chef go unscathed) …well, I guess that’s also how it often is in reality.

I wonder what happened to all those parents and children that took part in the program? I also wonder if the “defects” cleared their names and confessed their personal stories (and also cleared Seok Su’s name and shared what really happened to him - since he can’t do it himself anymore) so that the public knows what really happened to them (with their parents being public figures and all, and Seok Su for example being sort of a public figure too - his false fate was shared publicly before) and how bad their parents really were.

to be honest, no matter what is Kim Se Hui’s backstory, that woman is evil now and she needs to go down.

I’ve got to tell you: ever since you answered my question, all this time I’ve been hoping that you were trolling me…

Yeah, I’ve just watched episodes 6 and it’s been terrible.
Terrible times really… like it’s so unfair!
They show him having the literal worst time of his life (which constitutes of almost his entire life at this point too) and they ducking kill him in the same ducking episode too!!!
That is so unfair…

she is a mentally weak, and vicious woman

the character of Kim Se Hui has such a toxic, insecure and in practice, fragile mindset omg

Isn’t this drama a multiple-mains kind of one? Like with four main characters in this case.

I see what you mean, since Gong Myung looks a bit baby-faced compared to a Shin Hae Sun (I don’t mean that she looks old, in a bad sense, she just look more mature, still fresh and beautiful) but he’s actually only 5 years younger than her (their age gap is actually one year shorter than between her and Kim Jae Wook haha).
The other pairing however has an age gap of 15 years.
Personally, such things don’t bother me at all but I’ve encountered people who have some problems with such stuff.
I wonder, the casting probably is as it is because it might fit the nature of the characters better?
