The Untamed (2019)

It's a story which doesn't get old for you. I, myself, am one of those guys who can't watch a story twice but I usually watch each episode three or four times and still like to watch is again. If it was not the curiosity of what's going to happen next, maybe I was still watching episode one again and again.

Story is filled with tiny delicate detail both in content and form. Eyes, regards, smiles, musics, sounds, and breath sounds filled with special mean makes the story amazing. I advise you to watch it personally and use headphone.

While watching the story you laugh, you cry, you get scared and mostly feel all those feeling in a same time which is wonderful. It drives your heart laughs.

As you may saw characters biography, Wei Wuxian, the main cast, is inventor of mixed cultivation. He gives you this point of view that you can cultivate your soul without being so boring and following stupid rule. SO THE STORY IS FILLED WITH FUN MOMENTS.

Must watch!!! (even if you've never seen a chinese drama)

This is actually the first time I'm writing a review which shows just how good this drama is.
I started watching The Untamed because I was looking for a chinese drama to watch to improve my chinese skills. And since The Untamed was the best rated drama on here I just went with it! Little did I know I would become completely obsessed with the characters, the plots, the music, everything basically. It's the highest rated drama for a reason after all.
To be honsest, I have had some trouble understanding the plot for the first few episodes but once the flashback starts everything starts to make sense. That is the point I became obsessed with the drama and hold myself back from just watching one ep after the other without stopping.
The actors did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I honestly couldn't have imagined better actors for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji... Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo absolutely nailed it. Their chemistry on screen was amazing. For all the BL fans out there who are worried that the romance got lost because of chinese censorship laws let me tell you: These two characters have more chemistry than any other couple in a BL I have ever watched (and that is quite a lot). It didn't really bother me that there weren't any ROMANTIC romantic scenes because the amount of affection they showed for each other was just enough and the way it was portraid by the actors turned it into a love story (without being one officially). You will get what I mean, especially in the scenes after the flashback ends.
But I was not only getting attached to the two main characters, the other characters all had their fair enough amount of screentime, while always staying connected to the main plot. This is the reason I got never bored during any scene of the drama and also enjoyed watching episodes that wasn't featuring one of the main characters (lan wangji), even though he was my favorite.
Another great thing about The Untamed is the OST. There's an OST album with all the official sountracks that features the iconic Wuji (main theme) and character songs for all the characters! The songs not only fit the character's stories perfectly they're also beautifully written. Besides the OST album there's an instrumental album with all the instrumentals used as background music and trust me when you listen to those instrumentals after the show ends you WILL cry and feel all emotional inside. I have honestly never watched a drama that had such beautiful instrumentals playing in the background.
All in all I can confidlently say that this is the best drama I have ever watched.

Amazinggg, there is no other way to put it. One of the best shows I have ever watched. The characters work together so well; the actors are chosen perfectly. No exaggeration, they are legit perfect for each other. The setting, the outfits, the expressions. The actors are soo talented in this aspect. Those subtle hints of emotion, especially Lan Zhan's tears had me bawling multiple times. Normally when the main character dies, the watchers can become bored with the show and I was suspicious that would occur with this drama, however, the way they managed the plot, the interactions between the characters, the scenes and situations, I felt nothing of such. I finished the whole series in 3 days. Yeah, cuz I just couldn't stop watching. But the one thing I really wished they would have done is added more sensual scenes between Lan Zhan and Wei Ying. But I do understand that due to existing homophobia within China, having such scenes may have canceled the show and I definitely don't want that. But still, through eye-catching, longing stares between the two characters, their actions towards one another you can most definitely, see a spark. I really hope and wait eagerly that they continue the series into a second season. I researched online but couldn't find anything about such yet but, I have high hopes. The series blew up in the publics eye and has great ratings. It has remained as one of the top Chinese shows these last couple of months so I have hope that season 2 will surely arrive.
Whoever wants to start this series and is unsure, look, listen to me, it will blow your mind. People say that you can get confused with the first three episodes since they play around with time but I didn't feel so. It was easy to follow. But it changes per person and his/ her perspectives of each scene. You will love it, trust me.

" The Untamed " managed to balance many characters and genres and end up with a decent result.

The story was nicely presented, with a perfect pace that didn't let things to get boring or confusing. They did a nice job with the many plot lines too and they even wrapped up everything in the end, leaving only very few open endings. The action scenes were plenty too and well choreographed. The characters, in addition, were interesting and had good chemistry that helped the drama a lot. The twists were unpredictable, as well, and entertaining. Finally, the performances were pretty good and the settings and costumes were beautiful.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

The best of the best!!!

The first ever cdrama that I am stuck. I find myself watching the drama repeatedly for its good story, the characters , ost and the whole plot. At first episode, I wasn't sure if I should continue watching this because of its long episode for I am only used to 20 episodes in kdrama for I am a fan of kdrama before. But to my surprise I find myself hook up in the drama and I even recommended this to my friend and she likes it too. What made us hook in this drama is that each character has their own views which we are eager to know of what's behind of their actions. As for the main cast, Wie Wuxian which is portrayed by Xiao Zhan and Lan Zhan portrayed by Wang Yibo are both characters that I really love in this drama. As I love their characters in the story I also love them as themselves. They made me stream their songs on spotify, watch videos related to them and I even join a lot of fan page for them. This drama is really the best of the best for me .


Sorry for the typo I'm not so good with words .

yes, this is worth watching if you haven't yet

okay I came for BL but got more of a bromance, but after rewatching it I realized I was being dense and ther were a lot of ambiguous scenes so its making me happy. also the fact that I'm so whipped for Lan Zhan is just sjdlskfdjkdf. anyways the acting is really good like the actor who plays wen ning, it was his first drama and I think he managed to act all all the character's layers. ALSO THE MUSIC!!! I usually don't notice drama osts but wow I loved this one so much. basically, if you have the time, watch this. (if you want you can watch the special instead as the main plot is still there and its just more watered down than the drama.)

AFTER WATCHING THIS DRAMA, YOU CAN'T JUST MOVE ON. YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE MORE.

This is a great drama with a great story line. The actors portraying their characters so well, they are so perfect for the role!

The OST is so good as well, even sung by the actors. They are so talented! I am LSS with the song <3

For the first episodes just hang in there, watch it very well because it will be needed to understand the story more in the late episodes.

Comparing to kdramas I watched, this Cdrama stand out more due to the great story and lovely actors. Because of this I am become more interested to CDRAMAS HAHA.

Watch this and you will never be disappointed specially if you want something new to watch after watching so much kdramas. It's refreshing and will change your opinion about cdramas.

Because of this drama I am become fan of Xiao Zhan and become curious of him. Well he is handsome and very bubbly in the drama and very talented too <3. After searching about him, He is naturally born talented, he can act, he can sing, he can draw, he can dance and he has a good, nice personality, very humble too. Hoping this crisis about him will come to pass. You have so many people loving you Xiao Zhan. Fighting!!

Your loving FAN from PH <3


PS. Even PH and China have some unresolved crisis, my love for Xiao Zhan will remained strong <3. Hoping PH and China will reconciled as soon as possible <3

I’M IN LOVE

The first 3-4 episodes were a bit confusing but every other episode was SOOO good. My love for this show is beyond anything I can describe.
Every character has their own story and development where every micro expression is important. The actors of Lan Zhan and Wei Wu Xian played their roles excellently. Lan Zhans character is something I personally have never seen before. He didn’t have many expressions yet he still had so many. I fell in love with this show and the two main characters, to the point where it’s hard to let them go now💔.
I’ll have to say rewatching the show is probably a very good idea though. Some of the details and names/plots might’ve fell though which wouldn’t be surprising taking its complexity into account.
Now that I’ve finished this masterpiece I can’t wait to read the novel to get a better feel of the story from its original “state” and obviously to experience their uncensored bromance😉

The story. The cast. The cinematography. I loved it. I loved how this c-drama is not like other c-dramas. I loved the relationship onscreen between the two main actors. This is easily one of my top c-dramas. I would not mind watching it for the third time in a row. I even showed this to my friend and she loves it. I feel that this c-drama is going to be more successful. I really loved the music and the OST. The ending song is really beautiful that it made me sad. I really loved the cinematography and the sets... Those are really beautiful. They even cgi the lanterns in one scene. I also loved the outfits.. My favorite outfit is the outfit that Xiao Zhan, (Wei Wuxian), wears which is the signature black and red outfit.

A perfect example of a series that can be made into a really interesting and incredibly addictive historical series without having to introduce or rely only on the great, moving romantic love. The drama is very well filmed. It captivates with its beauty and acting, widen the chemistry between the main characters. The set design and costumes created for the series are also enjoyable to watch. I am also pleased that the story is presented in a completely different way than expected. This is not a TV series for people who are looking for love raptures or romantic scenes between heroes. Although we are dealing with great feelings, they are an expression of fraternal, friendly love. I really enjoyed the drama. I also love the smooth transition from thread to thread without the viewer being unnecessarily confused.
I recommend watching the drama, you'll fall in love with it.
