I'm not a vip member, only on episode 4. From all the episode that has been out, has there been a crying scene from Xiao zhan yet? It might sound weird but I'm dying to see his beautiful tears again.
I read to chapter 10 of the novel then drop so I don't know, when does Tang San start to form Tang Sect? Seeing…
You said you will wait and see why Tang San want to form Tang Sect. My question is when, around what chapter did that happen in the novel? If it happens later in the novel then don't expect to see it in the first season of the drama so that you don't get your hopes up when it doesn't happen.
U know what, I'm gonna sit back and wait for this show to explain (without his rebirth and without those Tang…
I read to chapter 10 of the novel then drop so I don't know, when does Tang San start to form Tang Sect? Seeing that it's a 40 episodes drama I don't expect them to cover that part unless season two come out.
So, I was curious and went to the IOTNBO discussion form. I seen that drama when it was aired and while it was good, never would I have imagined it be #1 in MDL. With that being said, let’s not feed on the negativities. For IOTNBO to be #1, I’m sure they have their fair share of negative comments from other users. Don’t let them use The Untamed as an excuse as to why some people are questioning IOTNBO being #1 right now. Like all dramas in the past, there will be another drama that will rank above it.
However, at this point, I have lost my trust in MDL. I used to somewhat agree with their ranking. But now, The Untamed is the only c-drama on top 10. NIF has drop to 8.5. Like, seriously, MDL what are you thinking!! How does this "new algorithm" of your even work?!!
I have also been struggling to figure that out. Like you, I’ve dropped and restarted it multiple times. I tried…
I feel the same way, I actually like Hae Soo. Her character can come off as too naïve and annoying for a lot of people, but I thought she has growth and potential. I rather see that then a character who have no development at all. Plus, I have a soft spot for cute characters and IU did quite well.
About why LWJ attacked WWX, my best explanation is that this is still a wuxia/xianxia drama. People talk with their fist -_-
Well, take your time in finishing The Untamed, no rush. But don’t give up since you’re already so close to the ending. After you finish it and let it soak in for a bit, feel free to let me know your thoughts.

I felt the same regarding ML and its political aspects. While I do love the dynamic of Hae Soo and Wang So relationship a lot, I think what resonated with me the most is the growth of all the characters in the story. Some turned out good while others didn’t, but you can see that almost every character has gone through some kind of character development from start to finish. And then by the end it did it right when it hits you with all the feels.
Yes, that’s how I interpreted that scene before WWX’s death. It’s ironic how the story started off with WWX seemingly like this evil and demonic overload, but the result was just people, the crowd, backing him up into a corner until he couldn’t breathe anymore. LWJ attacked WWX because he wanted WWX to stop his rampage, while WWX didn’t really attacked LWJ, more so that he just didn’t want LWJ to stop him. BTW, I just want to point out that WWX’s initial intention wasn’t to kill everyone, he wanted to defend his principles and what he believes in. I’m sure that WWX even stated near the beginning of the show that he’s the type of person that will hit back at people if they hit him first. I recommend going back and giving episode 32 a quick rundown again. Maybe it will shed some light to some of your inquiries.
This is my own opinion, but I didn’t love The Untamed for its romance or the conflicts between the clans. What appeal to me is its array of characters and the dynamic of the relationship each character has with one another. The Untamed prove that a relationship doesn’t need to be romantic or sexual to validate the bonds one has for another.
I understand what you mean by the overuse of slowmo and people swinging around in the back. It’s definitely a distraction. But I can overlook it because sometimes I’m too engage with the moments to bother with those stuff. However, if I were to watch this and try to nitpick everything that could have been done better, than there is no way I’m going to enjoy it. Maybe try not to put this drama up in a pedestal and examine everything about it. I know it can’t be help to have high standard for this drama, I think if you watched this drama when it was first aired then perhaps your judgement wouldn’t be influenced. Honestly, when it comes to things I like; be it a drama, movie, game, music, and even with people, a big part of it just come from instincts.

I could be wrong but I think you’re not grasping what the story is trying to portray. Which is understandable because there are some scenes that doesn’t seem to hit the mark for some people.
The battle before the end of Wei Wuxian’s first life is debatable rather it was well executed or not. I personally didn’t have a problem with it. Since we were talking about Moon Lovers before, I will use it as a comparison (not that I’m trying to criticize it or anything, just using it as reference). If I remember correctly, there is a big battle scene near episode 16 or so when there was a rebellion in the kingdom. Even though it was an important point of the story, it was not very well executed with very minimal amount of soldiers and buildup, seemingly unrealistic. However, I can overlook that because I get the idea of what they are trying to do. When I watch that scene before Wei Wuxian committed suicide, it seems that instead of making it into an epic battle scene with great CGI and such, the production team when for a more emotional approach.
When Wei Wuxian hit his breaking point, he didn’t kill out of self-defense. The sequence of events before that led to the most desperation point of his life. Personally, I never hit that point, but I believe that nobody in this world is an exception to hatred and anger, even only for a bit. I’m not justifying that killing is right in any means, and I don’t think the show is doing that either. What Wei Wuxian did could have been wrong, a mistake on his part. He is the anti-hero in his own story. I think Lan XiChen mentioned at one point in the show that what is right and wrong is not as clear as black and white. Suicide, murder, a lot of these things people do it at the heat of the moment.
My explanation is based on my interpretation of the drama, since the book is somewhat different. Actually, I would say the drama focus more on the emotional factor while the novel is more suspense and thriller. That’s also one of the reason why I think some of the scenes turned out the way it did. Well hopefully you will understand what I'm trying to say. It's okay if this story isn't your cup of tea, maybe take a break and come back when you feel like you're ready.
This drama is very dear to a lot of people. Also, it looks like you haven't watched it, so why are you judging…
Yeah I guess my rating scale is pretty high since I generally want to give a project at least some kind of credit. I can only imagine how much work and effort people put into it.
Maybe I'm used to good starts and terrible endings so I didn't have much expectations for The Princess Weiyoung and a lot of other dramas.
Lol awww I knew there was some kind of connection there.
This drama is very dear to a lot of people. Also, it looks like you haven't watched it, so why are you judging…
Really, a 5.0? Honestly, anything below 6 is consider not even watchable for me. The story much have no meaning, no orders whatsoever that I can't even bear to watch it. The Princess Weiyoung is at the very least watchable.
These rating websites general just give a ballpark of things. Even reviews and comments can be biased. I can easily love a drama that only have a 7ish rating over a drama that's 9ish. I would say don't put these ranking to heart.
You probably got the wrong idea, I'm not saying that you will not like it. I'm just saying that IF you ended up not liking it for whatever reasons, then I would like to know why. Since you haven't seen the drama yet, no point in lingering around here.
I have also been struggling to figure that out. Like you, I’ve dropped and restarted it multiple times. I tried…
Good! I'm glad to know you're not a 6 years old just watching drama for the hack of it and don't know what's good and what's bad (not saying there's anything wrong with being a 6 years old). I agree with you, there is some flaws with Moon Lovers but I can overlook those things if the overall outcome is able to resonate with me.
The Untamed is the same, it has flaws, and perhaps even more noticeable flaws than Moon Lovers. If you're already at 31 then definitely finish it. The Untamed is those type of stories that have minor details that may seem irrelevant at first but will be brought up again and put it into a new light as the story progresses. Even after finishing The Untamed over a year ago, I still find myself uncovering details I missed on my first go.
I have also been struggling to figure that out. Like you, I’ve dropped and restarted it multiple times. I tried…
Wow episode 31 huh...Do you still remember what happened up to that point? Is there any characters that you specific like?
I'm gonna assume that you like Moon Lovers (which is one of my favorite drama btw) can you tell me why you like that drama? If we like that drama for similar reasons then there might still be hope for The Untamed.

In a way, maybe it's a good thing that its not #1 anymore. At least now we don't have people coming in asking why this and that blah, blah, blah.
