Those girls are annoying. But I’m LOVING this series. Like, completely. 🥰The way the guys protect and look out for Hioki, defending him against the clingy and mean girls… Watarai’s “he’s mine” sign can’t be any clearer.

Worth the wait to watch E11 and 12 today. I would have been hella stressed waiting for 12 if I hadn’t.

This first series with KengNamping was worth the wait. I loved every episode. They did an amazing job, as expected. Chemistry was chemistrying all the way. And TleFirstone held their own with ease and confidence. I loved that they made each episode long enough to give time for everything that needed to be shown and then the best bow tied with all the potential viewer questions by Charn and answered by the Monk was 🤌🏽.

One of my pet peeves is when tattoos that are supposed to be old look brand new. The ink shouldn’t be black and shiny. It always makes me roll my eyes. But Peem’s tattoos were done right. I’m hella appreciative of DMD paying attention to even this small detail. The whole production was top quality. I loved it all. 🥰

And I’m especially happy with the mid-credit scene. Super sweet. Icing on my cake. 🎂 An overly 🌶️🔥 cake. Poor Master 🥵🤭🤫😋

I love rewatching Takara-kun and Amagi-kun, My Love Mix Up! (Japanese version only), and Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss.

I think you may have director’s cut versus edited mixed up with what they mean here in MDL land. As the last poster said, it’s referring to an uninterrupted version of each episode versus the ones on YouTube which are broken up into quarters. Tencent (WeTV) also cuts up Thai dramas. Uncut is less of a pain to watch, so people prefer it. It took me a little while to get this when I first started in MDL land. 😊

Unfortunately. 20 mins a week. 😫

It reminds me of other JBLs I love and rewatch frequently.

Sundays in the US.

Oh my God, I’m in LOVE with this already!!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍 10 episodes won’t be enough, I already know it. I’d love to find out that Watarai’s friends are helping him get close to Hioki because they know he likes him (ridiculously obvious to anyone with eyes). And it’s honestly one of the only believable explanations for the most popular group to invite a class loner into their group. I’d love to see the group’s conversation about inviting Hioki in. I hope we get it.

Damn. I was thoroughly entertained. The story, the plot twists and turns… The bonds built and tested. I loved the bond between the emperor and Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping had that childlike belief in justice winning over everything that he struggled with understanding how people in power could be corrupted, or not stand up for justice in the face of clear wrongs. The last statement from Shulin to him hit different, and showed his awareness of the “gray”.

Although I wanted something different for Shulin, it makes sense how it ended.

And the bromance. My BL heart kept thinking those long glances carried more than just “bro”fection. I’ll let my mind live in delulu-ville because the chemistry was chemistrying for me. Some scenes felt like clear jealousy, all centered around our poised and elegant Minister Lan. I know it’s not based on a censored same-sex novel; I know it’s not BL- I just don’t care.

It really was- I’m finding out. I am a newish BL fan (Jan 2024) and have consumed hundreds of BLs since then. But I only recently watched The Untamed, putting it off because of the episode count and my ever-growing watchlist. But when I finally watched it (last month)? It really is addicting. I can’t get enough. China bromance hits harder than most full BLs. And the few Chinese full BLs that make it out? Gold (I’m thinking of Revenged Love, Kill to Love, and ABO Desire). The Untamed is like heroin though. Truly- the episode count means nothing (I’ve rewatched it once already).

🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽💪🏽

You’re SO real for that. Keng watching grass grow for 8 hours…or him just reading a book. Or taking a nap. Really, the man is fine af. Like, it’s unreal. Those eyes hook you and reel you in so well you don’t even care about the hook. And him in those hazel contacts? Sweet gods! 🥵🫠

Your comment is making me want to wait to watch today’s episode until next week. I only did this one other time based on comments and I was glad I did because some cliffhangers are too much for my mental state (it was the episode Master goes in to kiss Khem for the first time, but ends right before their lips make contact- I waited so was spared the 7 day angst).

Your comment makes me want to wait until next Saturday to watch both.

I an actually glad the story isn’t built around their romance. The romance is a small part of the story that adds enhancement when needed, but otherwise is a background character. I prefer this in significantly longer series.

So true!

OMG The soundtrack! It was an interesting choice, especially credit tracks. Seems out of place for the time period but still oddly works…

1. There are quite a bit of funny and lighthearted moments. It’s pretty balanced.
2. A good amount of fighting, but also a good amount of sleuthing. It’s balanced.
3. Yes.

The twists and turns had me hooked! I figured out some parts but was floored with others. The villain I realized late but before the reveal- I was just in denial until the reveal. I didn’t want it to be that person AT ALL. I was hella entertained. I wish there was a second season.

What I especially liked was that it didn’t get bogged down with romance. I appreciate the focus remained on the plot and mystery rather than the ML and FL’s relationship- the relationship supported the story, but it was like a 3rd couple, if you get my meaning.

The confusion is high for me. What are they talking about half the time?
