I loved the The Untamed so, of course, I had to watch the Special Edition as well. The Special Edition is really for fans of the drama. If this is your first exposure to the Untamed and you're looking to understand the plot, this version may only confuse you as things are left out to focus on the two main characters WWX and LWJ. A few scenes between WWX and LWJ are extended in the special edition and the ending is simplified. This version also gives more depth to the character of LWJ. The novel and drama are from the perspective if WWX so it's sometimes hard to get a feel for the character of LWJ. A must watch for fans of the Untamed
