Actually, I did read the novel, and I remember the second half the story very well. Yes, I would agree that it was explicit. And yes, I could see why the Chinese government would not look so favorably with someone portraying their military in that manner. Perhaps the government didn't want it known that behavior such as that actually goes on in their military. Hmmm? That and much worse has been reported in the Russian military.

I'd heard that. It's just sad that China has banned traditional BLs and only allowing watered-down bromance series. I actually liked Advanced Bravely and Addicted Heroin.

Once again, totally agree on the potential folks. LOL As to a possibility of why some series garner more than 100+ million views, it could be that the population of the Asiatic region measures over 4.5 billion. From that perspective, a 100 million view potential doesn't seem so daunting... Just my opinion, though.

Totally agree. But, The Untamed, IMO, is on another level than traditional "bls" or even "bromances." for that matter. Epic period Chinese series have always been great, when done right. Also, with a potential 1 billion folks watching the series, how could it not be popular....
At a current 8.7 rating from posters, this series currently has surpassed many other very popular BL series commented on this site, even those of Tales of a Thousand Stars, Tharn-Type, We Best Love 1 & 2, and even I Told Sunset About You, just to name a few. If it continues on this pattern, Bad Buddy may receive the highest commenter rating of any other BL ever on this site. Wow! What an achievement that would be!
In the novel pat and pa live together from the start so they are in second year by then.
Oh! Okay! Thanks! P.S. In the novel, does the author make Pran and Pat have the stereotypical seme/uke relationship? I hope not. But, I wouldn't be surprised.
Time jump doesn't bother me as long as there is no important events took place in the meanwhile. Here, they both…
Interesting point! But, exactly how much time has passed, 6 months, a year??? What about Pa? Does she know Pran and Pat live next door again? How could she not, especially when Pran is in Pat's room, and she seems okay with it, as if she's known all along their "neighbors" again. Also, what about the feud between Architecture and Engineering? Each side seems to be behaving and keeping a "friendly" distance. Finally, there's the issue of Pat joining the Architecture Camp. Hmmm? No one from Engineering once has commented on this in the time that has passed?? I know I'm splitting hairs. But, it does speak the plot of the story between then and now. Just my opinion. LOL
Okay. There's agreement that this ep. was pretty good. Yeah, it had few directorial gaffs. But, that's okay. The only thing that really bothered me (but, I'll get over it), was we had a time jump, without any explanation or history as to what has happened in the time that has passed. Now, I don't know if that was intentional, one of those directorial gaffs, or if it is directly from the novel. In any case, when series do things like that, it makes the viewing audience want to know what happened in the meantime -- at least it does for me.
OK. On the eve of the ep. 6, I want to take this moment to go back to my previous opinion. IMO, I still believe that the scenes in ep. 5 were probably the most important in series thus far.
Ok, here my out. Up until ep. 5, Pat and Pran's relationship was mainly that of rivals. Then, all of a sudden, Pran makes it personal (with the song). Yes, the song is the straw that broke the camel's back, the line you don't cross, the unforgiveable sin (well maybe not so much unforgiveable, LOL). Alot seem connected to that song -- Pran and Pat co-wrote it; they were playing that song when Pran's parents came to concert and Pran left; and it was the memories surrounding that song that connected Pat and Pran. Remember the way Pran looked at Pat while he was playing "their" song. And, up on the roof, Pat admitted that didn't like Pran playing that song with anyone else (as well as was not pleased that Pran would call their song a "little thing"). Obviously, it was significant to Pat, and I believe Pran knew that. Not only did Pran win the battle of the bands, Pran also won the battle of the "wills." Pran used something that Pat emotionally had no defense, "their song." Playing that song with someone else hurt Pat, so much so, that finally, as a result of that song, Pat finally let down his wall and "confessed" to Pran.
The song seemed to be Pat's Achiles Heel!!! Ok. I'm done with my synopsis. On to episode 6!!!!!
The difference in a comment between here and YT couldn't be more diverse. I'm enjoying this because it breaks…
Totally agree with all of the points. Yeah, Weir is a flirt and a tease. But, as someone commented, they're all adults. Punn had absolutely NO right to slap Weir. A slap in the face (in many cultures) is the ultimate insult or challenge. Punn had the right words, just the wrong reaction.
The comic parts are played for comedy and the dark parts have their place. It has a good seperation with a slight…
Thanks! I can agree with this. P.S. Also, with sooo much child exploitation, enslavement, and abduction around the world, I wonder why a series would go down that path???
I'm not really sure what to make of this series. I was okay with the comedic elements of the mains, and then all of a sudden, the addition of a child serial kidnapper and murderer. I'm sorry folks... there's absolutely nothing comedic, in ANY way shape or form, about the kidnapping, torture and murdering of children, even in a BL.
I'm going to make one last comment about the last scene in ep. 5, and then I'll move on. All of the previous comments are really, really good. And, I don't dispute them. However, I still think one of the main turning points (if not the main turning point) of this ep., and Pran's and Pat's relationship up to this point, is the "song." Hear me out on this one. LMBO! As one poster commented, there were flashbacks about how Pran and Pat collaborated on the song. The song they sang and played together. The song to which partly lead to their separation, and the song which (I believe) began their reconciliation.
Think about it! Throughout the series, Pat and Pran had flirtatious moments, playful moments, fighting moments, and jealous moments. But, even with all of that, they were still somewhat reserved to admit to themselves that feelings were there and starting to come to the surface. Then, Pran plays the song. The song that has so much history for them. Why that song? IMO, it was because Pran knew it would really, really get to Pat, and it did. This action kind of made it "personal." It was a line that you generally don't cross. And, it hurt Pat! So much so, that Pat decided to let down that wall and confess. Although, I don't believe Pran meant for that to happen.
Just one person's thoughts and opinions. CAN'T WAIT TIL FRIDAY!!!!!
