Would somebody spoil this drama for me please?, I tried to watch it , but it was so confusing that I stopped.…
It's a butterfly-effect type of time travel drama.
FL was in love with a man who died in a plane accident and can't let go of him, even years later. One day she falls asleep listening to the song in an old walkman she found and wakes up as a girl many years in the past who is deeply depressed and maybe suicidal, and who also might be the target of a killer. FL discovers there's a young man in the past who looks remarkably like her lover...
In that girl's body and using her older personality's wisdom she manages to turn around the destinies of a few people, until she and the girl switch bodies back. The ripples of the past changes keep moving back and forth in time, not settling down and causing larger and uncontrollable destruction, and she and the girl in the past switch a few times more, each time amplifying the effects of the time adjustment, until one day it all cames to a head.
I won't spoil the actual ending, because it's worth watching.
It's a bit like the movie "your name.", and also a bit like the cdrama Reset. Also a bit like "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (I've only watched the animated movie, though I heard there are more versions).
Okey Question: I've known of the untamed since its release but I refused to watch it because chinese censorship…
They kept 95% of the story in, and left out only the most blatant PDAs and the final few out-in-the-open actual 18+ scenes. (If we don't include the gore, but that's only my personal hang up, not everybody else's too).
The visuals are amazing, the chemistry is off the charts, the voice actors are the same who voiced them in the audio drama, the soundtrack is beyond belief, there are actual female characters who have arcs of their own and don't depend on men to be relevant, the raw drama is there in all its magnificent glory, and it's fun. Particularly when it involves the juniors - but WWX is always the chaotic god of well intent and strange outcomes, even if there were no juniors around. And they also nailed the Yi City arc, too.
And Xiao Zhan looks exactly like you think WWX should look like, up to and including that mischievous devil-may-care full-toothed grin.
I'm after ep 3 and I couldn't care less who and why they did it all. That's not a good sign for such a short series.
The only interesting bit up so far is the reason of Gu DoHan's switch from lawyer to police officer and I have this feeling they're not going to expand much on it for now anyway.
is this good? should i start watching it? give me some reviews.
It's good. Don't start it now, wait til next Monday when all the rest of the eps are released and you can binge-watch it. (You will probably want to).
It's not BL, censored or not, but it's a good mystery/costume drama with nice bromance and an all-men main cast LOL. But hey, Guo Cheng (Lan JingYi) has a not-so little role in here too :)
Hong Yao. The character's name is Wang Yan, I guess MoWen is either his given or his courtesy name (I think it's…
He didn't appear yet, or so I think. But I'm at ep 17, I think he's making an appeareance now. He might be the mysterious Mr. JingHu, who can also play with the Water Illusion. But I can't tell yet, as I haven't seen him so far.
Hong Yao. The character's name is Wang Yan, I guess MoWen is either his given or his courtesy name (I think it's his courtesy name, since he's calling Lan Jue, "PeiZhi", which can only also be LJ's courtesy name - his father used to call him Lan Jue as a child.)
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 :)

And why did those kitties look like they're purebreeds?! I want one too! (I have kibble and tuna cans!)
That had better not be a motivator for him to go against the Dowager Empress. He doesn't need one, he's stubborn and righteous enough on his own.
(Also, hi, MoWen! Missed you!)

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