Thank you very much for this article!!! I was looking forward to it!! You did a great job explaining everything!!! ^_^
If there was one tiny thing that's missing is the explanation of the "code of honour" that most wuxia heroes have/ought to follow, but I guess that would take another full article to explain thoroughly, so I don't really consider it an omission.
I thought Untamed was a Wuxia drama but I remember it was in the category for xianxia. Although most of it has…
Yes The Untamed is a Xianxia, although it has many Wuxia elements as well! The difference with other xianxia dramas is maybe that there's only one sect with actual immortals (Wei Wuxian's mother's sect), while everyone else *tries* to become immortal... And a major clue that it's a xianxia and not wuxia is that they fly on their swords!!

You added Rebel thief who stole the people prelude (the drama special) instead of the actual drama! I noticed 'cause it happens to my lists all the time as well!! (It appears first in searches for some reason...)
One interesting thing I have observed in MDL is that each user has his/her own preference of where they like to…
Oh yes, we've talked about writing some kind of series of articles "Historical Drama Club Presents: ..." or something like that, but I don't know if this idea will come into fruition! Many users (like @WandereR, writing that post) are an information treasure themselves! :)))
Tried to watch it, but the subs on Mango TV are auto-translated! Managed less than 10 minutes & my head hurts already trying mentally to make the translation to their translations, lol!!
Seems interesting, but I'll wait until there are proper human-made subs to watch...
She was excellent as a villain in The Sword and The Brocade, I hated her character to the guts lol, and she nailed the role, up to the tiniest (hateful) expression!! So I can't wait to see her in a main lead role!!!
Anyone knows if Viki's going to replace the original 1-6 with the reshoot episodes 1-6 on their platform? I would like to confirm if they'll do (or have done) or not before I start watching it, I'd prefer to watch the finished product and not the inconsistent one (with two different actors playing the same character)!
LGBT on c-drama tv series = untamed 2019, love and redemption 2020, word of honor 2021, winner is king 2021, etc…
Winter Begonia (2020) Legend of Yun Qian (2020) = Lesbian Mini Drama
And the Winner is Love (2020) = FL had 2 fathers, plus a couple of lesbian side characters Eternal Love (2017) & Eternal Love of Dream (2020) = Gay side couple The Silent Criminal (2020) = In between queerbaiting & romantic subtext
"In the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, the cruel ruler, was replaced by Ji Wu. During the investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya gave up on his divine throne. He was willing to be the marquis in the human realm to ensure that his goddaughter, Duanmu Cui, could become the immortal. Thousands of years later, in the Song Dynasty, he became Bao Qingtian. At the same time, Duanmu Cui descended to the mortal world and established the Xihualiu Sect. Under Bao Qingtian’s order, fourth-grade-military officer, Zhan Zhao, was ordered to help Duanmu Cui. After sticking together through thick and thin for several times, love secretly grows between them."
I hope everything goes alright with this one at least!!! I believe that Kim Yoo Jung has really matured now & grow into a beautiful & even more talented woman, and I'll be thrilled to see her back in a sageuk!!

Regarding "Therefore, we need to see more articles on costumes, whether it's the clothing, makeup, and/or accessories, in modern or historical dramas (actually there is none written on historical costumes)." --> You can check out https://kisskh.at/discussions/general-asia-forum/59877-historical-dramas-club?page=4&pid=1618883#p1618883 (and other posts in Historical Dramas Club!!!) :)

For now, a good idea would be to send requests to someone like VIKI so they'll license this drama & add subs:
