Zhan got his heart broken so he wanted to watch the world burn.



>>>>>>>>>{{ SPOILERS }}<<<<<<<<<





I M SPEECH LESS.

literally started cause I wanted something light after Long Ballad
WHAT A BAD MOVE
BECAUSE THIS PAIN IS SO MUCH .. WORSE. PERSONAL.

I can't explain it, you just have to watch it.

Tbh the story is much better from the beginning from most bromances like Sci and My Roommate is a detective, I like them but SCI is majority lacking in a coherent story, and Detectives Bromance is good but I just the stories of crime solving is can get repetitive at times.

But Untamed is just perfection when it comes to a proper, coherent story and Guardian despite it's faults the Bromance, the chemistry is just epic.

I'm not even going to talk about stuff like advance bravely or beloved enemy they're just okay and Beloved Enemy feels like they're trying to say falling for a man ain't shit just go fuck a chick. They literally make you feel that way so let's just drop it.

But as I was watching KAH I felt a lot of things were just not paid attention to, especially the way people seem to die and no one cares in the next scenes or quite simply forgetting a character or story line but those were minor issues because this story is just so addictive and entertaining!

And despite it's faults it was growing on me, much like the two couples - Dr Chen and Jiang Yueleo and Zhan and Yu.

And here's the thing and maybe it's just me, I NEVER STOPPED SHIPPING ZHAN YU. It's true. You can hate me for it, but okay I'm noticing so many people in the comments section and otherwise are hating on Zhan but not Jiang lol

Here's the thing

Jiang HIT DR CHEN ON THE HEAD AND KIDNAPPED HIM when he refused to leave Hongkong.

He let him get so badly involved in their world Chen was imprisoned and tortured.

Jiang PRACTICALLY BEAT CHEN TO DEATH

JIANG ACTUALLY SHOT HIM. IN THE CHEST.



In comparison this is what Zhan did to Yu

Took care of him when he saved his life and pretty much had him living in the mansion

When his uncle was about to kill Yu Zhan saved him and chained him up in the mansion. But just like Jiang beat Chen and SHOT HIM Zhan VERY OBVIOUSLY did this so his uncle and insidious servants would think Zhan doesn't love Yu.

And okay CONSTANTLY there were references to the king and the concubine, THERE'S NO STRAIGHT EXPLANATION FOR THAT and Yu said those things because he was hurt because he DID SAVE Zhan.

And I don't want to get into the ending too much but I'll just say this - that ending made it go from a 7 or 8 show to a 10 rating.

I see so many Chinese bromance aka BL ending bittersweet, and I don't like it. Untamed as much as I loved THE CHARACTER AND STORY AND WRITING JUST PHENOMENAL - But wtf was that ending because it was so anticlimactic. WORSE than a high five lol

This whole I'll choose duty over love bs is just propaganda right but Guardian DID IT SO WELL.

Because when Shen Wei goes off with Ye Zun you get sad but when you see that scene where Shen Wei is saying to Yun Lan that he waited for him for 10,000 years, THAT'S WHAT GETS IMPRINTED ON YOUR MIND. And not the fact that these two also - well Shen Wei anyway - chooses duty over love. Because the sincerity in the two men, their entire body language, and even if they're not 'together' you don't feel cheated.

That's how I felt when I was watching KAH s ending.

Heartbroken but also relieved because the love they had for each other was BEYOND EVERYTHING.

BEYOND LIFE AND DEATH.

And so you know they're SOULMATES.

That all it needs is one resurrection, or one heaven, and they'll be together then, same as Guardian.

But, okay poor Zhan.

My heart.

Like okay when he shoots Chen and says to Jiang 'we both lost!'

And then Jiang shoots Zhan and he also dies and the same rosary that Yu carried he was now holding in his hand and the beads fall everywhere.

How POETIC was that like I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

everyone judging Zhan but look at the asshole who raised him.

The ONE person he was in love with couldn't even be saved.

I'm just devastated at all this loss only because Yu wanted to protect his dignity and kept everyone at arm's length because he hated the idea of being weak and sick and helpless. He should have trusted Zhan more because he was clearly willing to do everything in his power for him. I mean for all Zhans talk about power the guy died just as helpless HOLDING YU'S ROSARY BEADS. He died taking revenge because in his mind Jiang caused all his loss especially Yu because Zhan couldn't protect Yu because of everything happening with his uncle and the opium business. To him Jiang was the reason his attention was divided and he was forced to keep Yu chained up and then the way Yu basically became his ememy and blew himself up to destroy his uncle's plans.

But if Zhan was that enamoured with power he wouldn't have done what he did, instead he would have restarted the opium business and done his usual crimes instead of going on what was rather obviously a suicide mission.

Remember when Yu was holding the trigger and says then let's get blown up and die together ffs that's basically what Zhan did in the end. He didn't want power. He wanted Yu but no one cared.
