This tells us one thing: don't take these stats too seriously. Most can be manipulated. Since school, experience tells me not to look at the grades. A poor grade doesn't mean a person is stupid; neither a good grade to mean a person will be successful.
What matters for The Untamed is: It is successful. In fact, a HUGE SUCCESS. And our beloved Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are the highest ranking stars. What more do we want? Why be bothered by those outliers? They are so insignificant. Let's save our energy to talk about more fun stuff, such as things that make our noses bleed. Hehehe!
Hi, I am at episode 17 so far and tbh I am not impressed.Is it going to get better further along or is it just…
I guess it depends a lot on how much you enjoy watching this genre of dramas (xianxia) and to a lesser extent, how much you understand the Chinese culture (ie. what the Chinese people value). No matter how much I tout this drama, none of my own family members are impressed by it. So, you're not alone.
For me, this genre is very new. There were a lot of things I couldn't understand (hence appreciate). But as I became more familiar with the story, I started to see more deeply into the intricate relationships between the characters, and that's the fun part. Together with the music, I was totally engaged, and by the end of it, fell in love with it like with no other dramas. More than 3 months later today, I still cannot move away from it.
You may go through the same journey as I did, or you may not. But nonetheless, don't feel too bad for not enjoying something most of us do here. Like another viewer said previously, "It's just a matter of taste."
Hey guys! I don't mean to ruin your parade, but I would take this news with a grain of salt. Yibo has been rumored…
Thanks for the heads up. Actually as far as I'm concerned, I just want some news about Yibo and Xiao Zhan, any news at all because I'm missing them so much. :D
Heck! There goes my "pure" and "clean" image of our Zhan Zhan :((And after your video, this video of Wang Yibo…
The most hilarious thing is (towards the end of the video) when he was asked how many packs (abdomen) he is having now (he used to have 6 packs), he answered as a matter-of-factly, "one pack." XD. Silly and yet so honest Wang Yibo!
Wang Yibo will be shooting a new double male lead drama, Being a Hero (Ice Rain). Sorry to disappoint you, the other male lead is not Xiao Zhan but Chen Xiao. Shooting will start in February. For the two male leads, one will play a police officer, the other a drug dealer. Which role do you think Yibo will play?
would you recommend this drama for someone who is still a beginner to chinese dramas? I'm also on a huge drama…
You should watch this drama. But you should also need to understand that this is a fantasy, what we call "xianxia", therefore, there is a lot of things one may not fully understand right away, such as flying up to the roof/ flying on swords, invisible forces etc. There is a lot of information under the Discussion board that you can go read up for background if you are very confused with the terms used, names, or weapons etc. I myself was in a blur in the beginning, and managed to understand and love this drama. Hope the same for you. Happy viewing!
I'm still here too! I'm always here XD I just don't always have time to comment.
I know. Only when some badass comes along dissing our beloved drama, or when some innocent souls commenting not seeing any romance here, then you would come out in full force with your Qiankun pouch. XD XD XD.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I am sure that even if there was something, they would not show…
I wonder who this faggot is, forbidding the use of the term "sexy" to characterize Xiao Zhan. Who? Me? Guilty as charged (tongue sticking out).
Actually I wasn't banning the term "sexy". Just that Xiao Zhan comes off as a "perfect", "pure" and "clean" person and I love that image of him. Of course, he's still a normal human being who can make mistakes and go through highs and lows in his life. I just feel calling him the sexiest man on the planet doesn't really fit his personality and image. After all, this is just a frivolous label which I don't think he cares to own (or maybe he does?) Let's be honest, this is show biz. Everything is based on perception and image.
I know it must be very tired for him to have to always put up a perfect image for everyone to see. Every word he says he has to think through probably 100 times. It's really painful for me to watch him this cautious, fearing a mistake may be capitalized by those who want to bring him down. Yes, I wish he were just like the character he plays in Wei Wuxian - wild, fearless of what others think of him, and live a care-free life. As fans, all we can do is to wish him well.
Wow! Great analysis. You have to be an analyst or some sort.
Yes, from your clear analysis here, it does show that those votes of score 1 are indeed suspicious. Luckily there are only about 60 or 1.56% of them. And one can speculate they are likely coming from rival dramas or rival fans or simply bigots.
Actually getting an average score of 8.9 from the 44- 54 age group which represents slightly over 2% of the overall users who rated, is very good. Don't be too tough on yourself. :)

And after your video, this video of Wang Yibo auto-plays:
