I'm gonna give it a try though:
WOW
That's all I can really say.....
when I heard of this show a year ago I didn't think I was gonna love it as much as I did. BL is one of my favorite genres to watch and when I heard about the censorship in China I was doubtful that the script writers could pull off the love story between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji but boy did they ever! I knew of the novel before hand, I haven't read it yet but I knew enough to know and be worried as to how much would be edited out. While yeah a lot of their romance was cut due to the producers/writers probably being worried about getting banned I still felt how much the characters loved each other thru some of the writing's sneakiness lol. There were certain scenes that felt like they were really pushing against the restrictions the censorship to show the bond between WWX and LWJ. But that wasn't all: which brings me to the acting. I'm gonna say that it feels like Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo were born to play these roles. They certainty brought their characters to life. Not only them but the rest of the cast was magnificent too. I appreciate the time that was given into casting these actors because I was not be disappointed with any of them. XZ and WYB were amazing like I said(can't praise them enough lol) with how much(or how little) they were allowed to show in respect to their romance they did an excellent job. I was completely sold on how much Wuxian and Wangji loved each other throughout the show despite it being shown thru subtext and chemistry. Truly it was all about their chemistry they knew how to sell that love even with them being restricted. I can't picture any other actors in these roles tbh. Even my brother who knew nothing of the romance between Wangji & Wuxian asked me if they were in love? lol. He feels it.
But that wasn't the only reason I loved The Untamed so much. This was my first foray into Wuxia/fantasy and I got to say i was completely emerged in the story, setting, plot, characters, costumes, world building from the get go! There was no episode where I wasn't entertained completely. Though the some of the effects could use more work I can't complain too much everything on this show is worth it. I'm so glad I decided to watch this because It's now my favorite Chinese drama. Just reviewing it makes me want to watch it again, and I probably will. This was definitely a treasure which I'll always rate 10/10! From the costumes to the music, acting etc theres nothing I hate. Even some of the vile villains I can't 100% hate. So if anyone still hasn't watched the Untamed what are you waiting for?
