The Untamed (2019)

First of all let's clapped for the live action~~
They can air this despite the tight new rules Chinese censorship....

Story:
You cant expect the same essence as the novel because not only they are gore but the homosexual content strictly banned. The epic battle that I wish to see between Nie MingJue vs Wen Ning they just pass it. Well they 80% follow the novel, in my opinion.

Acting:
For the first 10 episode they cant entice me, the main leads acting not consistent and the chemistry none but when it come to 11 until the end they build it up but somehow they still cant do a detail acting in some scenes. Luckily the teacher who play Jin Guanyao aka A-Yao portray him perfectly his mannerism, face details. He could bring almost all of us despise him and the actor who portray my baby Huaisang too. Good Job Guys

Music and Costume:
I love all the bgm and ost when I see the anime, flute music to summon dark energy still eerie. The ost sang by most of the main cast. The costume are okay it just what the H with the headband~~~

PS: I just realize the main bad guys in here Xue Yang and A-Yao so beautiful. Both have full eyebrows and long and pretty eyelashes plus their eyes too beautiful, damn~~ As a women I feel threaten teacher Zhu Zanjin and Wang Haoxuan beautiful face could ruin a kingdom, kkkkkk

This story was really epic ....

I got to know about this story when i was searching for some good BL in Chinese so it was suggested on top of the list with highest rating so i got a little curious as to what is in this series for it to get the highest rating... From there on i was hooked....like really hooked usually when i feel that the plot is going a bit too slow or it's getting boring i skip through some parts but when i started watching the untamed i couldn't bring myself to skip a single part of it...it was as if i was enchanted by the story also by the beautiful characters that had so efficiently played their respective roles... I was really memorized... The series went from showing how Wei Ying got his soul back after 16 years... The story went on and showed how Wei Wuxian was misunderstood by everyone during the fight at Nevernight... How lan zhan had broken rules for Wei Wuxian, how he trusted him when everyone was standing againg Wei Wuxian... Lan Zhan was the only one who Wei Wuxian trusted the most, they both went through so much together... The most adorable part was how Lan zhan has to to put up with Wei Wuxian who would always follow him, while Lan zhan was known for his calm and charming personality, Wei Wuxian was totally opposite of him, he was playful and known for breaking rules through the way both developed an unbreakable bond... Also Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yan Li's relationship with Wei Wuxian was so beautifully displayed even though they weren't related by blood they were close to eachother. Also Lan zhan raised Si Zhui and made him an excellent cultivator... The most important scene and one of my most favourite story is between Wen Ning, how their relationship developed from Wei Wuxian saving Wen Ning and how Wen Ning dedicated his everything to Wei Wuxian... Their friendship was pure... Ever emotions was felt throughout the series....

I really would suggest you all to watch it... it's really mind-blowing...

I would give 20 stars if I could!

I can write about how I loved this series in 10,000 words and still have more to say, but one thing I’d say at the very beginning, hats off to the author of the book, it is a fantasy and one cannot help but revel in the imagination of the original author. The drama adaptation could not have been better, and the drama version owes so much to Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, for foraying into a taboo genre but coming out with flying colours! I myself have avoided watching this series, despite of liking Xioa Zhan as well as Wang Yibo, because I had this mental block of not wanting to watch a BL drama. Now that I have watched it, it is a shame to restrict this drama in one niche genre. It is so much more than that, the difference between good and evil, or the lack thereof, the love between people not necessarily related by blood, the deep friendships one forms in a lifetime, the greed that makes one do evil without thinking about retribution, the sincerity of a relationship, the sanctity of mutual affection, there is all this in this series and so much more. Each and every actor performed so well and added to the series being such a big hit, here is a drama where I cannot hate the evildoers, and cannot completely admire those who seem righteous. The whole story ultimately condenses down to having a clear conscience, and that a clear conscience is all that matters in the end. The background score and the flute and guqin tracks of the series were exceptional, and I would be suggesting this series to anyone who is willing to watch, for a very long time, or till I can find something worthy of being added to this suggestion in Chinese dramas.

On January 1st, 2018, I was diagnosed with chicken pox. So I fortunately enlongated my 3-day New Year holiday to a 3-week break. During that period, I read the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation). I was touched and moved and obsessed. Tortured by the painful itchy pox, I was, however, comforted and calmed by the story of Wei Wuxian. In a word, I really loved this story. Though, I didn't actually got the core of WangXian at that time.
When I knew that it would be adapted into a TV drama at a time when rules banned homesexual scenes on screen (indeed there was an amazing show, Addicted Heroin, in 2016, which depicted the main characters as a couple. Since then the romantic love in BL novels has to be transformed into friendship to pass the unreasonable censorship), I was appointed. Besides, as many other fans of the novel, I was worried that maybe this would be another show that aimed to make money in this crazy IP trend in China's drama industry.
On June 27, I was trapped in military training and was not quite eager to watch the show. One of my friends did and teased about it. After finishing the semester around July 11, I started to watch the up-to-date episode about the destroy of Lian Hua Wu. I finshed watching the final episode of Chernobyl and finally got to watch The Untamed.
I think, this drama has done its best to portray love, WangXian. Many scenes, such as that trick in Cang Shu Ge and the conversation in Bai Feng Shan. My favourite one is that adventure where WWX and LWJ killed the giant evil turtle. How cute WWX appeared to invoke LWJ's congestion and the song of WangXian or the untamed whatever555 It truly brings the novel to life.
For a longt time I couldn't understand why WX is a heaven-made love! But this drama has enable me to do so!

The thing about this drama is that it’s more than just a drama. Weiying is more than just a character. Because of Xiao Zhan's amazing acting skill, I feel like I’ve known weiying so well as if we’ve been friends for years. All the characters are well written. Every role in this drama was portrayed very well. Not even an episode is boring. Yibo portrayed Lan Zhan so well. The weird thing is, lanzhan and weiying didn't converse much but u can feel their strong bonds as if a thousand words were spoken. The trust and love lanzhan has for weiying is so beautiful and pure. Looking at their first encounter, who would have thought that they'll be this close.
The ost are amazing. They got me crying all the time. The lyrics are so touching.
I don't think I'll ever get over this drama. The best Chinese drama ever! Truly a masterpiece :’)

The Story, Cast and the Acting...A series must to watch.!!

I watched this drama in the year 2020. The year of lockdown and I was new in the world of dramas. At first, I hesitated to go through this drama because of the many episodes it has. But I was tired of rom-coms and wanted to try some genres. And I found this epic series on Wetv. I was quite not clear about half of the story at first. But when I watched the specific episodes again and again I got a clear picture after a year about it.
The cast is freaking awesome. The costumes also depict their characters very well. Bromance is overflowing but it is up to mark. No showoff. A complicated yet interesting story. Once you understand the story, the linkages between the characters will be clear.
The story is epic. lots of characters. And the actors are freaking handsome and hot.
BGM and OSTs awwwwwww, I am in love with it.
It's been 4 years and still, I am not over it.
A story you will fall in love with. Give it a try who is in search of a drama with a blend of thriller, action, drama, adventure, bromance and many more.!

This show is actually based off of a really great book. However they differ in one major way. The book has a lot of lewd scenes. Well watching this show although the two mains aren't in every scene you really get to know a lot about them. One is outgoing and playful but you quickly learn there is a lot more to him then that. He struggles a lot with his choices but always follows his heart. The other main is soft spoken and strict. Although he doesn't say a lot his face tells you all you really need to know. Now I bet your wondering how two opposite dynamics such as these can create such a wonderful show and the only way to explain is chemistry. The two leads has such a strong bond on screen that you really can't fake unless the actors can bond too. That's why its so great nothing seems forced you can feel their pain their smiles and their cries. With many shows its hard to connect with the main actors but in this show its not a problem in fact its hard to find another show like this. I highly recommend this series for two main reasons. One its very well written . When shows get turned into books a lot is normally left out but that isn't the case. This show wasn't rushed and sticks to the original origins. The producers and script writers take the time to really fit every important moment from the book into the show so all the pieces fit perfectly . The second reason is the fact that all the characters good or bad have their own reasons for doing what they are doing and they explain that too. I really really admire this beautiful piece of work.

Best Chinese drama

Not a fan of long episodes but this drama made me stick to my screen. Main leads r fantastic. Story is very good. hesitated bcoz of bromance tag but it's not too much or too less, it's just PERFECT. Loved a drama after long time & willing to watch it again. All I have to say is don't hesitate by BL tag. It's close to original except SOME scenes. Music is too good. Acting is damn good. Every scene is connected & love btwn leads is.... No words. This will be my all time fav Chinese drama. I laughed, cried, got angry, felt butterflies... U have to watch it till the end. Don't leave in half just bcoz u r confused, it'll clear up at the end. I still listen to this music & even it's my alarm tone (wuji). That much I love this series.

Please make season 2 and release it cause I want still to watch what will happen to them

Before I review the story please I beg to who the making the untamed drama please make another season or another project BL with the same actor of the untamed... please cause it's not enough to see in season 1 .... Please make season 2 I beg to you?????




Story - For those who love the novel and dissapointed because there's no BL in this, DON'T WORRY!! The bromance is wonderful and will make you can't stop smiling. The story is rather faithful to the novel (not exactly the same tho).. they adapted many sweet scenes of LWJ and WWX.. (Trust me, they adapted almost everything except the confession scene and steamy scenes). For the additional plots, I don't have any problem with them.. it doesn't really change anything (maybe only more screentimes for minor characters like Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli).. And I think they add a new character, Xue Chonghai, to smooth the story.. It was a big question in the novel HOW DID WWX LEARN DEMON CULTIVATION? And the story about Xue Chonghai is to answer the question..

This drama really has exceed everyone's expectations.. like, at first, in China, many the original novel fans can't accept the show (because there's no BL or Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo don't have WWX & LWJ's charm, etc) and so The Untamed only got a low rating (4.8 in douban) but it keeps on increasing after the show airing.. now it has reached 8.0!! I think it proves the beauty of this show..

Acting/Cast - Both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo did a great job in this drama!! At first, I though Xiao Zhan wouldn't suit WWX since he doesn't look like someone who talks a lot.. but I WAS WRONG.. WWX IS MADE FOR XIAO ZHAN!! And for Wang Yibo.. there're not many expressions shown by Lan Wangji here.. but I think Wang Yibo did a great job showing a cool but caring Lan Wangji~ >< The other supporting actors are new but really did a great job.. especially Yu Bin who played our little angel, Wen Ning~ like when he was stabbed, I can feel his pain too ugh.. ToT

Music - This drama has a set of beautiful songs.. the ending song, Wu Ji, sung by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and Yi Nan Ping are my favs.. Yi Nan Ping is a theme song for A Xian, A Cheng, and A Li.. the lyrics is so heartwrenching (I almost cried when the song was played).. and there are character songs too.. like Bu Wang sung by Wang Yibo for Lan Wangji's character song, Qu Jin Chen Qing by Xiao Zhan for Wei Wuxian's, Chi Zi by Yu Bin for Wen Ning's, Bu You by Liu Haikuan for Lan Xichen's, etc.. all of them have beautiful lyrics that tell the story of each characters.. MY EARS ARE BLESSED!!

Rewatch Value - DEFINITELY!! I can rewatch this wonderful drama again and again..

Overall - A must watch drama!! There is a complete set of genre inside.. comedy, mystery, friendship, family, romance..

Please I will waiting until another season or another project BL with the same actor of the untamed

THIS SHOW IS ART. this is an incredibly beautiful story filled with moments of pain but the love between the two leads fully shines through. Despite not actually showing the romantic connection between the 2 leads, I felt it in every scene they had together. Lan Zhan's love for Wei Ying was beautiful and painful. I've been searching for a show that can touch the brilliance of the untamed and the way it made feel after completion-i truly recommend you go and experience this work of art for yourself. I will forewarn that I cried at least 7 times while watching this show and that doesn't include all the tears shed while watching edits of the show

This chinese drama exceeds my expectations. It'll excites you in every episode. After watching the first episode it'll crave you for more. This series will make you laugh, cry, mad and wonder. This is a masterpiece. Stunning and spectacular.

The thing I like about this series is it'll bring you to a lot of realizations. It'll teach you to value and appreciate everyting. It'll teach you that greadiness and vengeance will just bring you evil. Don't be a mute, a deaf and a blind in the things that is obviously unfair. Voice out your opinions and perceptions. Be brave, be strong and bolder.

"Curb the violence and assist the weak. Have no regrets". The line that I cannot forget from the series because this expresses lots of emotions and promises.

And last and foremost, I truly admire the friendship of Wei WuXian and Lan Wangji. Their friendship is exceptional and real. A friendship that will make you envy. A friendship that'll make you wish and hope that you also have.
