I knew about untamed since 2019 but I never thought of watching it because I do not like blood and violence and I have never watched BL. I love Xiao Zhan to bones but I gotta say, I love Wei Wu Xian more. This is not just a story of 2 adventurers. It is a story of personality development and understanding the good and bad in people. Every dialougue in the show felt carefully crafted and the music and intense sounds resonated at the right moments to capture your heart.

Because of his character and personality, I could never imagine Wei Wu Xian with any woman. He is an untamed hero, unafraid of death for his loved ones, and most importantly someone who cannot be tied down by anyone. Even with a couple of female characters in the show, I could never ship him with anyone as he belonged solely to the audience. I could be wrong here, but their chemistry was more one-sided with Lan Zhan being more in love with Wei Wu Xian. There are no kiss or hug scenes between them and all of the acting is done through their eyes which is impressive. Thus, even if you are not a BL person, this show will be very entertaining. I watched Oath of Love before this so I got used to seeing XZ very straight but I still enjoyed seeing him with Wang Yi Bo.
