The plot is amazing- there are so many twists and turns. The character designs make you expect certain things of certain characters but they pull a full 180 on you- which makes the show even more engaging because of these twists. Most TV show plot twists aren't the most realistic and don't fit the original character design, but with this show, they make so much sense and they're foreshadowed so far ahead! Bravo to the OG writer of the book and the scriptwriters for this show!
The acting was questionable with some characters, but Sean Xiao (Wei Wu Xian), the actor for Wen Ning, the actor for Ze Wu Jun- were amazing! So many others but I can't list them all (and I don't remember actor names, so I'm so sorry about that). However, a few were questionable (Wang YiBo at first and Jiang Cheng's actor), but overall, it was full of great acting and engaging storytelling.
Speaking of storytelling, the director(s) was/were amazing. I'm not a cinematography student or anything, but the shots in this TV show were phenomenal. They gave us the warm, the cold, the happy and the sad, all delivered in an unhurried and engaging manner. I watched this entire show because of one shot (episode 25, arrows ;) ) but I fell in love with the way the story was told.
The OST and original music was amazing as well. The OST was sung by Sean Xiao and Wang YiBo and it's AMAZING in my opinion. For any Chinese speaker, the poetry is amazing. I think its incredibly beautiful and meaningful.
Overall, definitely recommend watching and definitely will rewatch.

I could write hours about this drama, but let me say it short: Don't miss this one!!
BEAUUUUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY!!!This drama tore my heart apart, stiched it together , just to rip it out in pain again - still, I enjoyes every second of this pleasure.
The story development is a MASTERPEICE!
All actors do a marvellous job in portraing the characters.
The main cast could not have been choosen any better.
The cast, the scenerey, the ML chemestry - everything just blindening beautiful.
The only thing one could wish for more, would be more distinct BL scenes, but the ambigious, subtle and graceful way of portrayal are just as blissful to the soul.

If you back off from this drama because of the rumor LGBT/BL, please read this review
I am novel fans. I thought so many times before I harden myself to watch this live action adaption (I mean, I was disappointed a few times before with live action (not Chinese live action 'tho)).The result? I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED. Thank you so much for making one of my favorite novels this beautiful live action!
As for the rumor LGBT genre... Well, although the novel this drama based on is indeed BL, the drama itself is not. Unless you have a rotten mind, like fudanshi and fujoshi (I don't mean insult. I, myslef, am a fujoshi). Why am I so sure? There aren't even any romantic hug! At most, it's a very very beautiful friendship/brotherhood.
As for the disappointed fujoshi/fudanshi... NOPE. I am not disappointed.
Plus, the plot itself is a number one selling point for this novel/drama (not the romance). Second, it's the characters.

THIS DRAMA IS TRULY A MASTERPIECE ♡
Don't know where to start talking about this drama. To be honest at first I didn't want to watch this drama because it was a BL, and I was not so impressed with that. But my friend who was suggested me this drama, kept urging me again and again to watch this. So that's why I started to watching. But in the end I can't even imagine what happened to me, look at the poor me writing paragraphs about this drama like a stupid ಥ‿ಥ.There are no words to express how much I love this drama. This drama was a complete journey of emotions for me. Everything about THE UNTAMED is indeed beautiful ♡. It was such a emotional roller-coaster, it breaked my heart again and again and I cried a lot like it was all happened to me ಥ_ಥ. It's so hard for me to explain the feelings this drama gave me, like one time I cried a lot, one time I laughed, one time it filled me with love and one time I was angry and just wanted the villain to vanish and let everyone be happy..it's just truly indescribable..throughout the drama various emotions have flooded me. This is truly the best drama I have ever seen in my entire life, I promise !!!
The two lead roles, Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi, made me feel so many emotions that I never knew was possible. Their story made me realize that love can be found in many different forms, and it's also change my view for many things I believed till then.
When it comes to my favourite character, yeah of course he is Wei Ying my love (Wei WuXian) ♡. I think he is too good for this world, he always think about others rather than his own self, which sometimes makes me angry like why can't you think about yourself at first ಠ︵ಠ. Never have I ever loved a fictional character this much and I don't have enough words to express my love for him ♡.
You know, I get over things very fast when I watch something. But this one is the first thing in my entire life that still binds me with it. It's almost been a year since I've known this beautiful art..but I still can't move on from this. THE UNTAMED will always have a special place deep in my heart ♡.
This drama is truly a masterpiece !
The casting was absolutely PERFECT, everyone fitted their roles extremely well and I couldn't imagine Wei WuXian & Lan WangJi as anybody else. Everyone did an amazing job !
Just wanted to tell you that don't you let the "BL" stop you from watching this AMAZING drama, like if you are thinking oh I don't like BL (like me at first). Let me tell you, this drama is way way way more than that. How AMAZING this drama is truly indescribable..You must definitely need to watch this to know what I mean ♡.

This is a masterpiece!!!!
A masterpiece this is the only word to describe this drama.I watched it 3 times already and watched the whole drama in 3 days only.
The storyline to the production, ost, acting and visual was amazing and if I have to rate all of them I will give it 10/10.
The ost are amazing it suited the drama well and let's not forget to give credit to the singers.
The story line is prefect it talked about friendship, hate, injustice, betrayal and many things. Also It has unexpected events which surprised me actually. Not to forget that there was few funny scenes so that we won't feel bored or the events were heavy .
The actors/actress were amazing they made me live the events/moments and feel what they felt and I was happy to see how the characters are different from e/o and have different personality which made it good a lot.
The production was amazing too they did a lot work to make it good because most of the drama used photoshop and many other things. The effects they added was good too. the quality of the drama looked high and stanning.
In the last ep to be specific the last scene I wished if they showed Lan Zhan and Wu Xian after being separated and each of them went in his path not only Wu Xian smile and Lan Zhan voice cause I wanted to know how they acted after their reunite and what face expression Lan Zhan made??
Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan did a great job in this drama and they have a good chemistry between them in the series and in reality.
I hope we will see more works for both of them. I want them to work together even after what Xiao Zhan fans did. Hopefully after few years everything will be alright and they won't be banned to work together anymore, so we could see them work together in a new project and act normally as before in front the public.
Best luck for both of them.

The untamed ?
all time my favorite drama... 😘😘 spi Xiao zhan review Credit @Ai-chanStory - For those who love the novel and dissapointed because there's no BL in this, DON'T WORRY!! The bromance is wonderful and will make you can't stop smiling. The story is rather faithful to the novel (not exactly the same tho).. they adapted many sweet scenes of LWJ and WWX.. (Trust me, they adapted almost everything except the confession scene and steamy scenes). For the additional plots, I don't have any problem with them.. it doesn't really change anything (maybe only more screentimes for minor characters like Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli).. And I think they add a new character, Xue Chonghai, to smooth the story.. It was a big question in the novel HOW DID WWX LEARN DEMON CULTIVATION? And the story about Xue Chonghai is to answer the question..
This drama really has exceed everyone's expectations.. like, at first, in China, many the original novel fans can't accept the show (because there's no BL or Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo don't have WWX & LWJ's charm, etc) and so The Untamed only got a low rating (4.8 in douban) but it keeps on increasing after the show airing.. now it has reached 8.0!! I think it proves the beauty of this show..
Acting/Cast - Both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo did a great job in this drama!! At first, I though Xiao Zhan wouldn't suit WWX since he doesn't look like someone who talks a lot.. but I WAS WRONG.. WWX IS MADE FOR XIAO ZHAN!! And for Wang Yibo.. there're not many expressions shown by Lan Wangji here.. but I think Wang Yibo did a great job showing a cool but caring Lan Wangji~ >< The other supporting actors are new but really did a great job.. especially Yu Bin who played our little angel, Wen Ning~ like when he was stabbed, I can feel his pain too ugh.. ToT
Music - This drama has a set of beautiful songs.. the ending song, Wu Ji, sung by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and Yi Nan Ping are my favs.. Yi Nan Ping is a theme song for A Xian, A Cheng, and A Li.. the lyrics is so heartwrenching (I almost cried when the song was played).. and there are character songs too.. like Bu Wang sung by Wang Yibo for Lan Wangji's character song, Qu Jin Chen Qing by Xiao Zhan for Wei Wuxian's, Chi Zi by Yu Bin for Wen Ning's, Bu You by Liu Haikuan for Lan Xichen's, etc.. all of them have beautiful lyrics that tell the story of each characters.. MY EARS ARE BLESSED!!
Rewatch Value - DEFINITELY!! I can rewatch this wonderful drama again and again..
Overall - A must watch drama!! There is a complete set of genre inside.. comedy, mystery, friendship, family, romance..

A true masterpiece that takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions!
The Untamed" is one of the best c-dramas I've ever watched. I even read the novel "Mo Dao Zu Shi" while watching the adaptation, and I can confidently say that the drama exceeded the original text in every imaginable way.It's difficult to summarize what makes this drama so exceptional because it's something that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. The story and characters are complex and engaging, taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the 50 episodes. What stands out most about "The Untamed" is the incredible world-building and character development. Every character, whether good or bad, is given the respect they deserve, and the world they inhabit is painted in shades of grey rather than black and white.
The cast, particularly Xiao Zhan, who plays Wei Wuxian, is beyond incredible. His ability to portray a wide range of emotions with nuanced acting is simply awe-inspiring. The chemistry between him and co-star Wang Yibo is also noteworthy, but this is not a typical BL drama. Instead, it's a story about true feelings, devotion, family, and sacrifice, following a group of young people on a journey that will change their lives forever.
In short, if you haven't watched "The Untamed" yet, I highly recommend doing so right now. I only wish I could erase my memory and experience it all over again with the same sense of wonder and excitement.

What is evil?
I knew about untamed since 2019 but I never thought of watching it because I do not like blood and violence and I have never watched BL. I love Xiao Zhan to bones but I gotta say, I love Wei Wu Xian more. This is not just a story of 2 adventurers. It is a story of personality development and understanding the good and bad in people. Every dialougue in the show felt carefully crafted and the music and intense sounds resonated at the right moments to capture your heart.Because of his character and personality, I could never imagine Wei Wu Xian with any woman. He is an untamed hero, unafraid of death for his loved ones, and most importantly someone who cannot be tied down by anyone. Even with a couple of female characters in the show, I could never ship him with anyone as he belonged solely to the audience. I could be wrong here, but their chemistry was more one-sided with Lan Zhan being more in love with Wei Wu Xian. There are no kiss or hug scenes between them and all of the acting is done through their eyes which is impressive. Thus, even if you are not a BL person, this show will be very entertaining. I watched Oath of Love before this so I got used to seeing XZ very straight but I still enjoyed seeing him with Wang Yi Bo.

MASTERPIECE !!
This show is SO GOOD. The first few episodes are a bit confusing and slow but it quickly picks up and hooks you in. The acting in this show is incredible, especially the 2 main characters. Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan did an amazing job portraying the chemistry between their characters despite the censorship. Xiao Zhan's acting literally gave me chills in numerous scenes. I love how every character has a story, even the villains. I non-stop binged this show over the span of a few days because of how good it is. Currently rewatching it as I am now way too attached to this show and will be ordering the book series.Cet avis était-il utile?
New favorite show on mine
I loved this show and the whole story of it.I watched this after Word of Honor. I thought Word of Honor was really good, but at first when I started to watch The Untamed I thought it was a bit strange. When I go more into it I was surprised on how good of a show it was. I just love everything about this show. I would it give a better rating if I could. It's my new favorite show and I recommend for people to watch it. I made my sister watch and we are finishing up the anime, but I have watched anime several times. I like the anime because it has some really cool battle scenes.
I recommend for people to watch this show. It is very good. Because of this show my new favorite actor Xiao Zhan. I make sure to watch as many of his shows and movies as I can.
