Does she fall in love with the actress she's a bodyguard for? Or some male? I'm confused from the description (it sounds interesting either way though, and the small number of episodes make it more attractive).
You should give it a try. I did it with my mom and it work like a charm. Start out at episode 3-32 then go back…
Thank you for your encouragement!!! I'm actually hopeful she would like it, or at least get into it after some episodes!! I mean the characters *should* draw anyone in (right?), even if the story doesn't do so at the start! And the stunning visuals, and the music, and and... :)
So, I'm planning on dragging one of my best friends into the world of The Untamed, but this person not only have never watched an Asian drama, but also isn't particularly fond of fantasy. So I'm open to ideas. And I'm thinking of we start to watch together from the 3rd episode on, and then go back to the first two after the flashback ends, so as not to confuse her with the opening episodes... what do you guys think of that??
The ending wasn't just sad imo, but stupid, and completely out of character. But I like to pretend it never happened, because the rest 95% of the drama was brilliant!!!
I thought it was just a story he was writting for a contest to tell about living your life to the fullest if you…
I haven't read the novel either (yet), but from what I've read from the description & reviews, in the novel, the protagonist has a degenerative disease (that's also the case in the drama, it's briefly mentioned on the 1st episode), he dies, and transmigrates (transmigration: inhabiting an existing person's body after migrating across worlds, unlike actual reincarnation in which the character is literally born again) into the body of an infant during an assassination attempt.
In the drama, they used the plot of the man at the start writing a story about such a character, as a clever ploy to merge modern ideas into ancient Chinese culture (which is, conveniently, both one of the main overarching themes of the novel and one of the reasons for the Chinese government's ban on time travel tropes on tv, so as not to "pollute" their imposed narrative on historical China and the consequences of it into the modern era and into the current regime), and we're conveniently watching his story unfold.
Warrior Baek Dong Song!! . . . (I won't even mention The Untamed, because for me (Lan WangJi/Wei WuXian) it's Romance, not Bromance -- though the bromance between the Actual brothers (ok, adopted brothers) Wei WuXian & Jiang Cheng is great too (and heartbreaking)..
It's been over 25 days since I watched this show for the first time... and I still haven't moved on.After this,…
This is one of the very rare cases that the novel will not spoil the show! In fact, it will make it even better, and you'll be able to appreciate the hidden nuances, and the way the creators got around the censorship without disrespecting the source material, even more!!!
Despite negative criticisms the drama received when it was still premiering at the time, I'm really glad that…
Jiang Cheng is my favourite character (besides WangXian couple), I love his flaws, they make him so humane, and the fact that he remained alone (in canon) breaks me every time!! At the very least he had his nephew... :((((
Wow, they just informed us from the Sword Dynasty volunteer team on Viki that this one has been licenced as a Viki Pass exclusive title & the expected start date is SOME TIME THIS WEEK!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!! :)
