This is such a beautiful and sad story. My heart aches .....

I was a teenager once, and I wasn't as smart as you guys are. I chose poorly, thinking only about love, which in retrospect I knew nothing about. So I can empathize with Huirou; she's like the millions runaway girls in today's world when their boyfriends are being banished by their parents.

She's actually the one who has the best personality. She's kind, thoughtful, and upstanding, that's why Huaiji loves her so much. Imagine if you're not allowed to love the one that you love very much but forced to marry someone you don't love at all, how would you feel? She's heart broken, feeling hopeless and helpless. If not for the encouragement from Huaiji, she has no will to live at all. It's really very tragic. I think she dies young too, probably due to unhappiness after her marriage. It's so sad. Life was harsh.

Good drama.

What you say make so much sense. Yes, a younger man falls in love with an older woman normally it's because he's attracted to her maturity - she doesn't behave like a girl his age and she's not naive. But for this drama, the FL is so immature emotionally whereas the ML is the more mature one, hence balances out the overall relationship.

I'm watching this because I like Arthur Chen though he didn't act very well the last time. This time, he's matured a lot, but still his acting confuses me. The dialogues in this drama is so childish and lack substance. I guess the high rating is because of Arthur Chen's fans?

I don't know what to make out of this. Is it supposed to be silly and comedic?

When I finished my first viewing, I came out and asked, "What BL? Where? Didn't see any." I know I was slow catching on :)

Like many viewers who still haven't watched this drama, I shied away from it when I first saw the BL tag. Then I tiptoed back, and oh boy, I was so wrong! This drama blew me away. There was no obvious BL. I only caught the BL parts upon multiple viewings because they are so subtle and cleverly hidden in symbols, music, gestures, naming of items, clothing, etc. Re-watching this drama is like peeling an onion, you find more hints each time. It's an eye opening experience for me to see how beautiful things can be even it's not a hetero relationship. Have I also mentioned I cried a river for the sad as well as the happy scenes? Yes, ask anyone who has watched it. The two main leads are so captivating, the music unforgettable, and putting everything together, yes, this is indeed a masterpiece. A MUST-WATCH!

As much as I dislike Zhang Bihan, she is pitiful. What a tragic life!

We feel you ...

Story? Sigh! Acting? Sigh! Logic? Sigh! After 2 episodes, can't continue anymore. Let me know if it gets better.

I'm totally confused. Why is everyone speaking American English in Barcelona and not Spanish?

How's this series so far? Worth watching?

Yes, the poetic dialogues are beautiful. Once translated, the feelings are totally gone.

IKR! I love that scene! That's epic! XD

Cry? This is an understatement. I weeped throughout the drama. When it was sad, I sobbed. When it was happy, I wailed. I cried so much that I told my family I had a cold (in the middle of a hot summer). Together with the music, I just felt so touched, and cried uncontrollably. Never in my life a drama, despite all its flaws (CGI or whatever), has touched me like this. So yeah, unless you're void of emotions, most of us did cry.

Thank you for that important parts that are missing here in the drama. I haven't even taken a good look at Cui Bai except that glimpse from the bridge. Despite Cui Bai being Huirou's art instructor as well, there's no characterization of him at all except he's super talented. What a shame! This part of the story could have been so intriguing. No wonder I've always felt something amiss: why the Empress keeps pushing Qiuhe to Cui Bai as Qiuhe doesn't seem very committed herself. Rather in the drama, it feels she's more inclined to the Emperor. This gives the viewers a totally wrong impression of the Empress, and this view may coincide with the Emperor's (of keeping Qiuhe away from him). This is really doing injustice to the Empress.

He's also the one whose poison has hurt Duo'Erla and he later sends the antidote to her, saving her and Tang Fan.

Want to cry some more? Watch The Untamed. :D
