The first 4 volumes are released (and they're GORGEOUS, they include inside art, glossaries, etc), the 5th and final volume comes in May 2023. BD sends everywhere, no postage costs (there might be some exceptions) and they have the best prices (and keep doing sales).
If you meant the official release in ebook form, I don't know, really, I went and got all SSE danmei books they're releasing LOL, and they're all on paper. But the quality is amazing.
If you want an ebook version... the fan TL might be around somewhere.
I thought they only had like 1 or 2 songs that they kept repeating.
Psycho, Feel You, and then the BGM - FoE Title, Flower of Evil theme, Switched Destiny, Truth That Must Remain Hidden, The Other Side of the Emotions - etc.
Nope, the OST is great. The love theme (Feel You) might've been too present in some melo scenes, but overall, the music hits just right.
Give a re-listen to the BGM if you feel like it :)
does mei chang su die at the end? cuz i really dont think i can grt attached to a character for them to die.
He does, offscreen though (important people get letters announcing it).
But he dies in glory, as a general, among his people, after succeeding in his life work after sacrificing greatly for it (which is exactly what his character deserved and why it's the best ending for it all).
Watch it anyway, it's a good hurt.
And there are plenty others to get attached to, and they survive.
After ep 13...Edit: PS And I can't stop. I think I'm gonna binge-watch all the released eps today OMG it'll be…
I don't even care the bromance fans will call me obsessed or not - MoWen is freaking in love with PeiZhi and nobody can convince me otherwise.
He was basically in tears when he thought PeiZhi will die because of Zhang Ping, and ready to take down the world so that PeiZhi is saved. That goes so far beyond bromance that you can't even see it in the distance any more, LOL.
Also, I think there's yet another chance that PeiZhi and Zhang Ping turn out to be brothers (which would be awesome.)
Your comment says a lot about how women are portrayed in xianxia/wuxia/historical C-dramas. Not a normal woman…
From all the xianxia/wuxia I've watched, it's only all the women in The Untamed that are self-determined, non-childish, decisive (and some even cruel because they feel like it). It's definitely a breath of fresh air, LOL.Unless we count movies too, where I'd also add Hero.
Well I caved in and just finished watching all released eps. Dammit. Now what?!
... At this point in time, my absolute favourite is MoWen / Wang Yan. I'm keeping fingers crossed he doesn't have ulterior motives for being BFFs with Lan Jue. I'm dying for those secret half-smiles (and the dimples). And he can make dough LOL.
Sadly I think Peizhi and Zhang Ping won't end up being half brothers in the end... If the mysterious woman didn't spend that much time around Peizhi's dad, then ZP might've already been born (and to someone else, too) by then, even if they end up related somehow. Oh well. It sounded nice, but we can't have nice things anyway.
PS Also, Jing BoRan's left ear is a whole story by itself.
I'm currently listening to the song you recommended and let me just say that every time the chorus hits I strangely…
Thank you for the friend add :)
(You should never encourage me when it's anything about soundtracks, I fall in love with some dramas just because of their OSTs and can talk about them for ages, I'm trying hard not to give you all the links to some of the most beautiful Xueran Chen OSTs I've listened to over the years, right now, LOL
...Okay, just the one. It's from the OST of Guardian - another censored danmei drama, based on the novel by Priest - also author of Faraway Wanderers, adapted into drama as Word of Honor, an actually almost open danmei if you can believe it). It's called "We Won't Be Falling" and it's pretty epic, IMHO :)
Which danmei are you reading, if it's not too much to ask? I've been gorging myself with danmei for the past three years, LOL. (I blame MDZS for it.) I am always in the mood for something new :) (Myself, I'm currently deep diving into Copper Coins by MuSuLi, it's been amazing so far, and the fan TL is also great!)
My first kdrama was Save the Last Dance for Me (also, another amazing OST :D), and Ji Sung being so, so young in it :) (but I can't rewatch anything but some FMVs now, LOL. I have no idea how I managed it then :D)
Hallyu dramas have progressed so much over the years, and I am pretty happy about it :)
Stupid question, who was JC? I'm ñot good with initials 😢(Taking a screenshot of your comment to save the…
I am so very sorry for your loss. It never goes away, but in time it starts hurting less. Most of the time. Here's a virtual hug, be well.
IMHO, JC's problem with WWX wasn't that he kept comparing himself to WWX and coming up short (though that too was true before he became the clan leader), but that he saw how loyal WWX was to LWJ and even Wen Qing and Wen Ning, and felt cheated. Because he's actually right - he doesn't know all the details, and WWX did leave the Jiang Clan for the sake of two renegades and some remnants of a traitorous clan, and he can't compensate the major loss caused by the Wen Clan even with his (JC's) life being saved by the two Wen siblings. It's a major betrayal no matter how you look at it.
And even more, JC lost his core because he was sacrificing himself for WWX and giving himself up so that WWX escaped. After the SunShot Campaign, given he didn't know anything about the core swap, he just couldn't rationalize what the heck was WWX doing, defecting to the conquered clan's side...
I still think he - JC - would hurt all demonic cultivators he caught because they were NOT WWX, not because he was hunting down WWX while he was gone for all those years. And that's true (brotherly) love right there.
JC is one of my favourites there :) (though nobody comes close to WWX, naturally :) )
Stupid question, who was JC? I'm ñot good with initials 😢(Taking a screenshot of your comment to save the…
Jiang Cheng, the vastly misunderstood brother. Not that he isn't a bit extra tsundere at times, LOL. (But wouldn't you be, too, if YOUR brother was WWX and he was dug out and eaten by LWJ? :D)*
*I've been reading a lot of Chinese webnovels these past few years, and they have lots of idioms, one of which is the precious cabbage being dug out by a pig (a patiently-raised son or daughter is taking up with someone the parents wouldn't approve of, LOL).
Yes, they are worth the wait. I am on the verge of watching 5-10 raw just because I'm curious. I mean, I won't…
Take the trailer and multiply it with 35-40-mins long episodes (29 of them). The drama is very much delivering what the trailer promised. This is going to be a good one :)
The quality is amazing, yes please, may I have some more!I think I like Peizhi, the venomous little snake with…
Is it any chance Zhang Ping is Lan Jue's half brother? They already mentioned the exotic woman, and then there's Xiao Ping wandering around in a maze with some really exotic hair plaits, would a 20-year lap be enough for them to be siblings?
The quality is amazing, yes please, may I have some more!
I think I like Peizhi, the venomous little snake with PTSD. And I kind of think Zhang Ping's past isn't so simple either.
I'm fine with the simple bromance (TBH, first four eps are selling WangJue way harder than anything, which makes me definitely suspect Wang Yan of being another snake in the grass.) I'm fine with polite enmity too, if it comes to that. I like Zhang Ping's stubborness, LOL, he's going to be SUCH a PITA for everybody. Can't wait.
I'm still absolutely amazed at the quality. The art director - and basically the whole tech team outdid themselves. Every episode feels really polished. Even the OST is pretty good (the first ep had the creepiest songs LOL, loved it.)
Can someone who read the novel help me figure something out, please?
A good movie. Not sure I followed EVERYTHING (did Gong Gil sleep with the emperor? why did he want to stay behind?…
1. Probably not (though it's heavily implied in the movie that the King is very interested, and Gong Gil is not a virgin in that sense either.) There was an actual Gong Gil in the times of King Yeonsangun, but there's no more information than that, so there's no way to tell if the king and his favourite clown actually had such a relationship. The king did have at least 4 sons, who were all executed in childhood, after their father was deposed, so even if he did like his clown, he liked his harem too.
2. Well, he finally had a fortune and a safe haven, and probably thought the king was just a misunderstood person (his mother had been killed like that, and he was obviously still hung up on it.) And while Jang Seng and the others would have thought a life on the road and out of the kingly cone of attention was better, their previous life meant stealing and prostituting himself for Gong Gil. He was barely literate, had no actual education, and aside from his relationship with Jang Seng, he had nobody. Why would he leave the place where he was fed, clothed, praised, etc, just to go back to that?
3. Any of the king's counsellors could have ordered that paper written, to accuse Gong Gil. All of the counsellors - maybe not CheonShin - wanted him dead. Jang Seng takes the blame to save Gong Gil, not because he's the author.
With gratitude comes great responsibility, so to speak. I like it when the trope of doing something kind once in a while becomes a pleasant duty for the one doing it, even if they're pretending it's a chore.
Like SooHyun pretending that being around Yeo Joon is the worst, but dropping everything and running out to find him because he calls when almost suicidal (At A Distance, Spring Is Green).
And then there's the regular tsundere breaking his heart over his foster-brother having to sacrifice for him, the outsider (I Don't Want to Be Brothers With You). (Applause for the whole small city people, though, they all made him feel it, LOL).
Or going to prison just because you want to save your best friend who had the worst life because of something you had no control over, but still feel guilty for, in which case you've taken it a bit too far, but still, he's grateful and at the same time, mad at you over it (The Silence of the Monster).
Or finding ways to express what they mean to you when they manage to move the clouds that threatened you your whole life and finally make you king (Mr. Queen).
And definitely going way too far, and too fast, and leaving you behind just when you finally managed to get on the same page with them, so that you never can repay that gratitude - so you pay it forward instead (Nirvana in Fire).
Or being grateful for your chance at being included, but becoming the gatekeeper, until nobody else is allowed in your circle and you destroy everything because you don't want to lose that feeling (Weak Hero Class 1).
(TU is already mentioned, and nobody does redemption / sacrifice so efortlessly as WWX. Though JC deserves a hi5 too, for keeping his own side of the story to himself, in the end.)

I'm betting Mu Yesheng is the flower-pruning, bird-training carefree Mr Tao, LOL.
