No, it's from another very famous Chinese wuxia drama OST called "The Smiling Proud Wanderer":

Interesting enough, this drama (The Smiling Proud Wanderer) also refers to certain items that are similar to The Untamed, such as the Gusu liquor, Tian Zi Xiao. It's a prominent item in this OST.

Yes, one of my favorite of their public appearances together.

For all Wang Yibo's fans, I was checking out Wang Yibo's previous dramas. He was still an adolescence. So beautiful and cute. He's really funny, silly and playful. What an angel. Here's a clip of him taking shower:

I just hope this doesn't destroy your image of Lan Zhan.

You're so right!

I think your English is good. I can understand everything you say. Don't worry about it.

Actually I want to update my comment here - Xue Yang's Qianqun sleeve hasn't shield Lan Zhan's Yin metal detection, just that Wei Ying hasn't found the Yin metal on Xue Yang; he is not thorough enough, he doesn't search Xue Yang's non-existent pinkie.

So I should have said, Xue Yang's pinkie holder also acts as a Qianqun sleeve which I don't realize. Good work! @Kezia Nita Wijay.

I don't want to sound un-American and unpatriotic, but I'm feeling we're (I'm speaking of my own country) like the Wen Sect, and I'm Wen Qing, torn and helpless. I'm sorry for bringing politics onto this platform, but I can't help it when I see all these similarities of our current society as compared to the society in this drama. If I have offended anyone here, I apologize and I'm prepared to be admonished. On days like this, I really feel resigned to live in my little "Gusu" town. I need Wei Ying to come rescue me from all these chaos.

Wow! Really? So the Qianqun sleeve acts like a RFID blocking wallet, shielding the signal from Lan Zhan's Yin metal. This is extra ordinary! Did they give the hint somewhere in the episode that we have missed? Maybe I should re-watch that episode with slow motion. Thanks so much for solving this mystery. Thank you @Kezia Nita Wijaya. You guys are my Sherlock Holmes. :)

Thank you for your wonderful explanation. Now I know my understanding of the whole plot is not too far off, and I shouldn't really apply our normal logic to it; just take it as it is. Thanks again. :)

Your explanation sounds very plausible. Thank you for helping me solve all these mysteries.

This is too cute!

Agree, LOL! We were discussing watching Jade Dynasty and it's not showing in my little "Gusu" town. We're so side tracked. XD.

That's exactly what I meant. Where I'm, it's similar to Gusu Lan, no entertainment, no nothing (I love it though). I think given the chance, unlike Wei Ying, I can live in Gusu Lan for the rest of my life. I'm kind of like a hermit. :)

As far as the drama is concerned, it has no mention or any indication that JGY is acquainted with XY at all until XY is captured. JGY approaches XY for his Yin metal for his (JGY's) own ambition and XY makes a deal with JGY using his Yin metal. That's the understanding I have. It'll be interesting to see your perspective.

Now that I have more time trying to digest the story and make sense of the mysteries, I come to a conclusion, which is the same as my conclusion after my second re-watch: don't try to put conventional logic into the story; there is none.

Perhaps, this is exactly what the CQL team is intending - leaving it open to let us discuss and speculate. This way, we would re-watch and re-watch umpteen times, which they have succeeded, and then unwittingly, we bring up a furor of discussions on the internet, which they have also succeeded. This is indeed a brilliant marketing strategy!

Another confusing part for me is the left arm. It appears only in the first episode. It stretches longer in the anime and perhaps in the novel. But somehow, the left arm becomes the spirit of the sword later, and then the sword is actually Baxia which takes a different form. All these are so confusing, and I really empathize with non-Chinese speakers who are trying to make sense and digest this.

By friend villain, you mean Jin Guangyao? But at that time, they haven't crossed path yet.

My goodness! You're up early, and on this site already XD. Likewise. MDL The Untamed is my first stop of the day. Can't go through the day without checking on my fellow fans first. XD. Call me crazy, I know.

Thank you so much. You've clarified so many points for me. That's why I'm trying to read the novel to get more understanding. I'm not up to the point how Nie Huaishang has managed to get hold of Mo Xuanyu, but I guessed it more or less along the line. It's just so fascinating that a seemingly know-nothing guy turns out to be the mastermind of all these.

As for Jin Ling, does it mean his spirit is answering Han Guanju in the "Inquiry" because it (the spirit) has left his body? That's why he can't answer many of the questions ie. how he has died, where he is etc? But he knows he is 15 or 16 years old and from the Jin sect. But who has buried him in the wall? Why?

When it comes to the digging of the coffin by Jin Guanyao, the drama has never explained what he was doing. Unless the audience go read the book, it is indeed very confusing.

Like some critics brought up, audiences should not be expected to read the novel to be able to understand the drama. Granted, this drama is low budget and surely it has a lot of holes. But I do feel those critics have very valid points.

The way I see it, the name "Chen Qing Ling" has a romantic vibe to it. By reading this title, no one would have known it's the name of the flute. So why did they name it this way? I feel that this name gives a subtle message that it is a romantic drama, despite what the English title says, The Untamed, which sounds masculine. Let's break down the Chinese characters in the title. "Chen" can mean old or tell (among others). "Qing" means affection. "Ling" means order. It was the "Qing" character that attracted me to watch this drama in the first place. So you see, the producers/directors are so brilliant in this sense. They used the title "The Untamed" to attract non-Chinese or non-Chinese spoken audiences, and they use the Chinese title to attract audiences who knows Chinese, or very elementary basic Chinese like me.
