I agree, and this drama isn't one to rate very seriously. There's lots of issues with it having outdated tropes from 2014, but it is still very entertaining. I watched it last year and even rewatched it a couple of times for a comfort watch.

UK resident here. Also trying to finish it on Netflix - but it's also on YouTube with English subtitles! I'll have to switch to YT shortly as I definitely won't be finishing it if it's taken down today on the 27th

We don't know at the moment. She doesn't often do dramas - the last time she was the main lead in a drama before WLGYT last year was in 2019. She has a lot of other things she does so I think she only does a drama when it seems great to her.

Finally finished it - just an okay drama. I actually didn't dislike it, but didn't love it either. I didn't really warm up to ML's character and didn't like much of the drama's pacing, but on the other hand there's loads to admire about it as well. Rated it an 8.

So it's like another drama like Immortality? BL drama that's filmed and everything but not passing the censorship. Such a shame, I wonder how many dramas they have filmed of this genre that can't be released!

My spirit animal is basically him, if I could I would be very useless with my fancy fan too 🤣

It helped that the actors in The Untamed had very natural chemistry. To the point you could tell they even had chemistry when the cameras weren't rolling.

Also in the original Untamed novels they weren't censored at all. Only the drama had to go that far, it just seems Word of Honour passed censorship for whatever reason.

Same I was low key panicking when I saw it's not on any of the other streaming sites even outside of Netflix. But no worries, the whole drama is actually on YouTube too. A huge relief as I was starting to plan about binging it in possibly 4 days 🤣🤣

I think PoJ was clearly meant to be more female centric from the start. There's also a lot being said that they had to downplay his character because he was originally more red flagged in the novel. And they didn't want that kind of lead for PoJ (as opposed to how Deng Kai played a completely unhinged lover as 2ML). Of course not all dramas go the same route, some will be more about both the leads, others more female centric.

That's just crazy because 7 isn't even a bad rating on here. 7 is considered an average rating, I give a 7 to many dramas if I considered it to be just decent/okay too. Idk why so many of the Lovely Runner fans act like it can only be given a superb 9+ rating and then bash others who do not do so!

Regarding that user, I didn't know that about the alts. Interesting to hear about though

😂😂💀

At this rate I'm checking more often than I would if it were my own due date 🙈

That's exactly what I thought this drama was and hence why it I rated it a 3.

Acting, plot, etc is also entirely subjective to the viewer. Someone might have thought the acting was amazing whilst others didn't. Some might have thought the plot was great but for others it was poor.

I also agree about not rating dramas low *just because it wasn't my cup of tea. * there are loads of dramas that fit in this range and which I rated around the 6 range. I just didn't think this was one of those dramas. Again, entirely subjective. You might rate another drama really low for being a disaster, whilst I rate it higher.

Yes no viewers would watch dramas where the leads cheat, and definitely not where the ML cheats. But still, a lot of the other red flag elements are generally allowed. Viewers generally don't mind force kissing, or fictional ML being jealous and possessive, etc. Much the way it is in dark romance. Xie Wei was this way too and considered one of the best red flags ever.

I have heard about Xie Zheng's personality traits being removed as they were from the novel. I think they made it more female centric which is why Changyu's character has more to her, more personality traits and more complexity compared to him.

Ha you're much more patient than me. I gave up after Ep 10. It probably made a difference that I didn't even care for the main leads whereas you do. But yes the crying kids and annoying sister on top of that! Made it hard to carry on. Rarely does a drama put me off within the first 10 eps 😂🙈

Pursuit of Jade is definitely better than this from start to finish. I think the tone of that is also different than this.

I've watched till Ep 24 currently and I'm disliking how blind the ML is. He's also unnecessarily petty towards FL and she has to treat him like a child just to appease him. Essentially he is a big manchild.

I like a lot of the other couples better, for example Xiaotao and Wei Liang, and Bhi Zhi with the cousin (forgot her name?) because they actually seem to love each other and behave maturely.

Definitely Love Like The Galaxy.
also The Double.

Those dramas are like each other but not really like this drama. This one has a lot more family politics, and also doesn't have fantasy.

But then why make the drama in the first place? The novel is right there to pick up and very explicit with how much intimacy or smut they have. It's just unbelievable that they FINISHED filming this drama's 58 episodes, and only THEN didn't pass the damn censorship.

Yeah and lots of scenes where Lusi is being cute 🤣😍 . I loved it first or second time watching, but the more I try to rewatch the more I'm over those scenes. I just go straight for the main story from Ep 7 lol.
