Is this love la la la laaaaa

I didnt know I was walking into a BL, so this goes to show how good the story and acting was to give me that signal. I fell in love with this drama cause Wang Yibo was so handsome (but I am now a hardcore Xiao Zhan stan lol). I finished the drama within a week in 2020, cause I keep seeing it be number one on mydramalist. My favourite is the Yicheng arch, man that was rough... if i wasnt bound by societal morals, then I'm the biggest Xue Yang stan. Maybe it was the Zhou Shen OST that really got to me, but yea RIP. I also read the novel (it's spicy ;)), that took me a week too it was goddamn long too. I would recommend this based on how much you care about looking at handsome guys, because even if the plot is great, it was confusing to me before I read the novel. The acting was what made me really enjoy the drama, the chemistry, the love and the hate. Yea, there will not be a second The Untamed in Chinese drama history, definitely one of a kind sort of drama.

I didn't watch the final ending until like 16 years later

So I watched this drama through tv broadcast and they didn't broadcast the secret ending. So all this time I THOUGHT THE FEMALE LEAD DIED. Do you know how infuriated I felt when I found the secret ending on youtube in 2020, but I was also so happy they finally got their wedding. This third my date with a vampire is a bit of a drag and money grabber from ATV (cause they were losing to TVB lol). But they did a good job planning everything together and making the plot make sense. I guess they were too infatuated with new technology, they didn't realise that the ancient Chinese horror is the most scary shizz, not some chucky ass doll pfft. The OST is bomb, love singing that for nostalgia. Ma Sui Ling kinda cried one too many times for my liking, cause in my heart she always a badass B. I want her sword weapon so badly, but her one from second season was cooler, this one was like a light saber, and I was like Dafuq. And what is with the dragon summoning in this series, i couldn't even see the hand symbols properly (I'm trying to learn it here dah).

My favourite out of the three from this series

This sequel was my favourite from the three of the my date with a vampire series. The childhood memories, the traumatic and haunting production. In terms of plot, Ma Sui Ling was just written beautifully as a strong female heroine, she's my idol till this day and Its been a good 10+ years since I first watched this drama. What also attracted me to rewatch this drama over and over again is the well written and complex relationships of all the characters, because they don't just focus on one relationship. Since the last time I rewatched this drama (which was a few months ago), I also see that there are so many moral boundaries that are taught, as a kid I think I learned very well from this drama. Sometimes dramas are not just entertainment, but they can teach us life lessons like this drama. I also like singing the OST, because it's just gold.

Childhood memories

Honestly got nightmares watching this drama when I was a kid but god I just loved the plot and the female heroine Ma Sui Ling. I guess as a child I just learned that females can also be powerful and strong, and that was the message I absorbed as a kid from watching this drama and the whole series. In this drama, her character was written a bit weak compared to the sequels, but this one was definitely the scariest. Like god that vengeful ghost in the building gave me nightmares for years (cause I rewatched this drama on the VCR tapes like 50 times over). Last time I re-watched this drama was just the start of this year, still love it haha.
