I just had a sudden realization that Wei WuXian once said that "the two most important phrases you have to say…
Well, that's one of the main differences with the novel actually. In the novel, some of the most heartbreaking moments for LWJ are those that WWX says "Thank You" to him, cause usually what follows is them being apart. He also despises it in various moments throughout the novel, when he says "Thank you" to him & it makes him believe WWX just feels gratitude to him for what he has done/does for WWX, like they are strangers, or random acquaintances.. For WangXian, when some people are really close, and both know the other loves them, there's really no need of "thank you" or "I'm sorry", because it's already a given that one will do everything for the other, there's no need for gratitude, and there's no need for apologies either, they understand each other without words... It's the magic of WangXian relationship, but also an oxymoron of sorts, because yes, one of the most important lessons of this story is the importance of "Thank you" and "I'm sorry", you have to say these words while you still can, 'cause your beloved people may not always be with you! And a lesson he tries to impart to Jin Ling, too. :)
While the novel The Untamed is originated from is BL, the adaptation is not. The nature of the relationship between…
I've already made one in a notebook actually. It has Plenty of questions, but I don't have all the answers, or not objective enough answers. So I'm thinking we should make a thread with it, and inside it people can contribute the answers, and then we can vote/discuss on an objective enough answer to each of the questions... (Yes I'm a freaking nerd xD )
I love your article!! I love Outlander (though I like the books more), and I was glad on your input on the historical details parallels in a Korean version of it. I also like all your cast choices EXCEPT Jamie!! Like omg Yoo Ah In is extremely talented, and he can get away with many roles, but he just doesn't cut it as Jamie Fraser for me, especially visually!! We need an actor who's tall & stout in body, and also oozing sex appeal (I personally wasn't that satisfied with Sam Heughan either, but at least he's tolerable in that area), and who's also talented enough to be able to pull off Jamie Fraser's complexity, charisma, darkness in time, leader qualities, passion & undying love for Claire... I don't think I know of any Korean actor who's matching the role, maybe as you said bellow, if Koreans do end up adapting Outlander, they should hold up an open audition & find new or relatively unknown talents to pull this off!!
Omg, last time I came here asking about the drama, should I watch or not because I'm not into BL thingie. But…
I'm so glad to hear that!! Glad you decided to try it, despite your initial reluctance!! Feel free to share your experience to other people who ask the same question constantly :) ("Should I watch this if I'm not into BL?" --> I think we all should make an "Untamed F.A.Q." here soon!!!!)
First of all, HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY my fellow Suibians! To those of you that have been here since July 2019, and to all that just finished this today and it blew their mind, and to everyone in between, I LOVE YOU, and THANK YOU for accompanying me in this journey, it seems we're forever "Lifelong Confidants" in our perpetual ardour for this story & WangXian!
Secondly, please for the love of WangXian, verify your account to rate this drama if you don't mind, so your rating will count for more in the final score, according to the newer MDL updates! Thank you! :)
At least 90% of all Chinese historical dramas are dubbed. But in most cases you can never tell the difference anyway, 'cause they're very well done!
In this drama, I think many characters dubbed their own voice (they were their own voice actors). I can't confirm, but I think Rebecca Tang's voice at least was her own!

Or the spicy congee, I love spicy (but normal spicy, not WWX's level spicy! xD )
