I have re-watched this series multiple times but always stopped at the massacre scene and couldn't move on. It's so unbearable.

IKR? This series has haunted me for months. Until today, I still listen to the OSTs - one of the best.

You've summarized it up so well here.

You're lucky to have watched the director's cut version instead of the other which was aired. I watched this series while it was airing and I just couldn't empathize with Li Chengyin at that time, like so many other viewers. I wish they had released this version instead.

Yes, the ending is so appropriate and moving. A great watch!

I'm up to Episode 18. Haven't seen any serious love triangles yet, though someone does have a crush on the FL and is still very protective of her.

I love this drama for similar reasons as yours - no air head girls chasing after men after conveniently fallen into their laps.

Admittedly there are some plot holes here and there, and in later episodes you'd come across. Comparatively, this is still a better watch than what is out there at the moment :)

I don't get you. Please elaborate.

Huh? You cried? For me, it scared the shit out of me in the first few episodes. I'm such a scaredy-cat. Despite some plot holes here and there, this is indeed a wonderful drama. I love it :)

Yayaya, Gu Long's Chu Liuxiang, flamboyant and flirtatious. I can visualize Leo in the character.

It was the white robe and the fan that attracted me in the first place. I don't even remember who all these characters (Ouyang Feng etc) are anymore, but Tou's initial appearance did conjure up images of some of my favorite characters. The Tou character development is such a mess that I didn't enjoy his character very much by the middle of the drama.

.... and a psycho ..

Luo Yunxi's injury, yes, that's why I've never got my epic scene - the couple combating hand in hand.

I'm a cry baby too, but I find they (the director etc) have reduced the sadness for me when they injected too many of the repeated dialogues which dampened the pain. It makes the viewers want to fast forward hence not experiencing the effect. Though I didn't fast forward for any of the scenes, I just kept saying, come on, let's move it, or even urging the about-to-die to be dead.

Hahaha! I can't imagine in future dying scenes, my mind conjures up all the Italian opera scenes and start laughing. People think I were mad. XD

Even at dying, Mu Yuan manages to give a long speech. I was rather amused at that because while his life seems to be slipping away, he comes back and talks (a lot), then his eyes close, he continues to talk, and talk some more. I was like, come on, die, though losing Mu Yuan is one of the anti climax scenes for me.

Yeah, a hedgehog and a run-away groom. Sigh!

BTW, did you cry in any of the scenes? I know they're supposed to be sad which would have normally drawn rivers of tears from me, but this time, I just rolled my eyes, not that I have a heart of coal (XD), I just saw through the director's intention and didn't feel any sadness at all.

Getting up a 5 AM to pursue a crappy drama? Let me know when you've done it XD

IKR? It's been almost 1 year for me and many fans here (we watched it while airing so we got to discuss the drama a lot, you can't imagine the fun we had) and we still check on The Untamed page every day, and try to comfort new fans.

If you haven't watched the anime, you MUST! It's super good:

Also search for the behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube. These videos really reinforce everything you see about the couple onscreen and also help to fill the void. Watch the concert videos if you haven't seen them.

They also have a manhua (manga). If you check on the original page (The Untamed) at the "Recent Discussions" section, there are links to the manhua and other various interesting videos and links. That's how many of us passed our days until we finally walked out of this rabbit hole :)

Have fun!

Hahahaha!

He's a psycho.

You're right. After completing the whole drama, now I understand why Tou was supposed to be in a mess in those scenes.
