My favorite drama ever. & I just wanted to say here for anyone else who is a HUGE fan of this show like I am, so you can also feel my pain, by OMG when Grandma cried a few times in the show (remember the few scenes???) ... I BALLED MY EYES OUT with her. Every. Time. (yes, I've watched it several times HA) What a FABULOUS actress. ALL of the cast was f*n amazing!
another thing as an FYI... on Amazon Prime & YT... the ENG Subs are subpar. Not sure why this is the case, but they were not good and you kind of have to at times "figure out" what they meant to say. Some words/ending of sentences just weren't there at all. After starting on Amazon, I tried YT to see if the subs were different, but they're the same. I'm unsure if they are better anywhere else. They aren't SO BAD you can't tell what's going on, but they can be a bit distracting.
Cute with no real plot... but fun to watch regardless. Definitely was distracted by the messy/blotchy makeup, visible hairnets, and visible netting where the wigs were attached to their heads/faces, and that one close up of our ML's eyes and you could see some kind of netting hanging from his lashes. wth? USUALLY I'm pretty forgiving and overlook that kind of stuff, but I've never seen it quite so "in your face obvious" before this show. Again. no plot or story to care about and yet somehow I still watched the whole damn thing and kind of enjoyed it. I have no idea what's going on in my life. LOL
Ditto. For ten nano seconds I thought he was hot but now he just gives me a stomachache. FF = best thing since…
@moondust that's the truth! HA! He came across as an intriguing/roguish character with a dangerous side who tried to help those in need and then turned into this whiney brat 5 seconds later. He does not get better, maybe even worse. UGH!
the ONLY episode/scene I really loved and busted out laughing was when they were all hiding from each other in MuMu's apartment. Hilarious. Other than that... the drama was way too boring/repetitive.
meh. how can it be SO boring compared to S1? Alternate Universe I am all for...but the universe must be at least somewhat as compelling as the previous one. I don't even care about/plan to watch the last two episodes. Pacing is weird too. Random "bad guy" plots stuck throughout and it feels like a big ol mess, imho.
On Episode 22 and I've come to really really dislike Xie Xiao as a character. What a jerk. Actually, as SOON as we see him after that first time, he becomes such an eyesore in the show. I haven't disliked a character this much in a long time. UGH. Spoiled. Selfish. Brat who puts everyone in danger because he has zero self control and foresight.
Hahaha! I hope you've already finished munching your popcorn and the show. Like you, I like the second male lead…
@chinesedramafan thanks! I am waiting for subs on Viki for Under the Power. I'm super excited about that one. I've been on the fence about The Untamed, but I'll bump it up and give it a go! Thanks for the recs!
I'm REALLY REALLY wanting to be on #TeamSecondMaleLead but they are making it AWFULLY hard and I'm on ep 25 :(
the REALLY sad part is... the NIGHT before the 2nd male lead uses the FL to set up a trap when she went to the river, she was just about to completely let go of the past and let him have a tiny piece of her heart which no doubt would have grown easily. But he didn't realize that and used her and she's too smart to not figure that out easily. That's where he f*d up. BUT let's be real... even if he hadn't used her THEN he would have LATER because his hatred/revenge was too strong, so they were doomed from the start. Sad Panda. :*(
watched this a second time to see if I was too harsh in my opinion of not really liking this show the first time I watched it (back then I didn't love fantasy based as much as I do now) but I still think this show just isn't the best. So far, of all the fantasy historicals I've watched, this still has to be my least favorite of all. :-/
on episode 36 and I have no idea why, but I'm completely bored with the show at this point. eh. I'll set it aside and try something else for the time being.
