A perfect balance of heartwarming relationships and frustrating and twisting plots
I just finished watching The Untamed and it's currently the highest ranked out of all the dramas I've watched
1. The storyline: The storyline was well thought out, rich, and thorough without major plot holes. I really enjoyed how the drama went back in time and then relapsed, then continued after Wei Wuxian's reappearance. I also really enjoyed the side plots, my favorite being the one with Xiao Xianchen, Jing, and Xue Yang. Although most Chinese dramas have a tendency to dissipate and have a terrible endings, I actually really enjoyed this ending. By the ending, the story was unique in that the typical villains were actually backed by other unsuspected characters which kept me hooked the whole time. This drama is one to watch the whole way through and not skip any parts.
One of my favorite things about this drama was the character development and character relationships. They were rich, exciting, and incited many different emotions for the characters. The villians weren't as fleshed out as, say, Ashes of Love, but I don't think that's a major pitfall for this drama because I enjoyed the other character growth. I
2. Production: There weren't any glaring problems with the set or greenscreen, and I liked how they used stunts and special effects in moderation. When they used greenscreens or digitally produced backgrounds, they did a very good job matching the lighting so that it wouldn't be horribly unsettling. I usually skip through asian drama fight scenes because of how repetitive they get, but for this drama I watched through each one because it was choreographed and executed beautifully, and also didn't over/underuse stunts and special effects.
3. The soundtrack: I love the original song for the characters, especially the main theme song. It fit in well with the storyline, and created a more dramatic mood when watching. The motives that were repeated alone or in the music helped bring a "togethernesS" to the whole screenplay
4. Acting: The actors are wonderful at portraying their given characters, and I didn't see one flaw or awkward moment. Sometimes the tears did look fake but that is a pitfall of most screencasted dramas. However, Xiao Zhan did a wonderful job portraying all of the aspects of Wei Wuxian, from carefree, confidant to dark and troubled. Wang Yibo did a wonderful job with the stony-faced Lan Wangji, and there were subtleties in each of his facial expressions that brought out the emotions of his character without going too overboard. Also, the fighting and stunts were flawless, as expected, since the two main actors are stage performers. I could feel their "stage presence" from the screen and it gave them a better quality of acting on the screen. The actors are all super good-looking too, which definitely helps. Xiao Zhan's smile is to die for.
