the minuted u called the untamed ridiculous.. you lost me entirely.. bye
Figures. Pretty boys in waist-long hair and lovely silk robes flying around in the air with swords and exchanging longing glances. The Untamed is the perfect show for people who think they're BL fans but are uncomfortable with actual, real gay love. Plus all the fox-tail and spirit-world stuff is mind-numbing.
I'm fine with the politics, but I don't get the demand for "exposition" when the acting clearly tells you what…
The acting clearly tells me nothing because the actors are restricted from doing or saying anything meaningful. WHY were the leads having that odd fight on the floor, over the headphones? What was said that led to the fight? You're cool with just being expected to make that up in your head?
Boring satire of a real BL. It defies logic to watch a romance with all the romance cut out of it and still call it a romance. It's weird, is what it is.
One meaningless filler scene after another with two teaser cheek-kisses. And zero exposition about those kisses and what the characters thought about that.
This is the first Chinese censored BL I've tried to watch since the ridiculous The Untamed. It will be the last, unless there's a revolution that overthrows the Chinese government and its bigoted philosophies.
now the bl fans when they enter here and read the tags they will definitely refuse to watch this series until…

Stupid beyond belief. Spinning its wheels with silly side-drama that no one cares about. This show has deteriorated so radically from about the 13th episode forward it's hard to believe it's the same series.

Perhaps in S3, if there is an S3 and I'm on the fence as to whether there should be one after this mess, Joon Ho and Ho Yul (see? They already share half their names!) will realize they are already in love with each other. Actually, that would be about the only reasonable excuse to do a third season.
This should have been SO much better.
This "season" (five hours is NOT a season, it's a long movie) feels as though Netflix came up with big bucks for actor salaries (great cast!), production expenses (nice look, feel, sense of reality) and then hired a few neighborhood moms who watched the first season to write the second.
Did so many of these great actors have such busy schedules and Netflix spent all its efforts on organizing that the script was written on the cheap and lazy?
Just lame upon lame upon lame writing/plotting. There's not room here to list all the improbable events, coincidences, plot holes, absurd character interrelations, etc. so I'll just repeat that the writing is awful.
Honestly, the time I didn't spend tearing up and being deeply moved (I didn't say ALL the writing was lame), I spent rolling my eyes and thinking how stupid the whole thing was.
Oh, he's totally hot! Those lips, that body... a gay man's dream.
To be honest I like a man to be a little more filled out, but Bluebem's still growing, I think. :) But yeah, something about his style of handsome is catnip to me. :) 10/10
