The Untamed (2019)

yes, this is worth watching if you haven't yet

okay I came for BL but got more of a bromance, but after rewatching it I realized I was being dense and ther were a lot of ambiguous scenes so its making me happy. also the fact that I'm so whipped for Lan Zhan is just sjdlskfdjkdf. anyways the acting is really good like the actor who plays wen ning, it was his first drama and I think he managed to act all all the character's layers. ALSO THE MUSIC!!! I usually don't notice drama osts but wow I loved this one so much. basically, if you have the time, watch this. (if you want you can watch the special instead as the main plot is still there and its just more watered down than the drama.)

AFTER WATCHING THIS DRAMA, YOU CAN'T JUST MOVE ON. YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE MORE.

This is a great drama with a great story line. The actors portraying their characters so well, they are so perfect for the role!

The OST is so good as well, even sung by the actors. They are so talented! I am LSS with the song <3

For the first episodes just hang in there, watch it very well because it will be needed to understand the story more in the late episodes.

Comparing to kdramas I watched, this Cdrama stand out more due to the great story and lovely actors. Because of this I am become more interested to CDRAMAS HAHA.

Watch this and you will never be disappointed specially if you want something new to watch after watching so much kdramas. It's refreshing and will change your opinion about cdramas.

Because of this drama I am become fan of Xiao Zhan and become curious of him. Well he is handsome and very bubbly in the drama and very talented too <3. After searching about him, He is naturally born talented, he can act, he can sing, he can draw, he can dance and he has a good, nice personality, very humble too. Hoping this crisis about him will come to pass. You have so many people loving you Xiao Zhan. Fighting!!

Your loving FAN from PH <3


PS. Even PH and China have some unresolved crisis, my love for Xiao Zhan will remained strong <3. Hoping PH and China will reconciled as soon as possible <3

I’M IN LOVE

The first 3-4 episodes were a bit confusing but every other episode was SOOO good. My love for this show is beyond anything I can describe.
Every character has their own story and development where every micro expression is important. The actors of Lan Zhan and Wei Wu Xian played their roles excellently. Lan Zhans character is something I personally have never seen before. He didn’t have many expressions yet he still had so many. I fell in love with this show and the two main characters, to the point where it’s hard to let them go now💔.
I’ll have to say rewatching the show is probably a very good idea though. Some of the details and names/plots might’ve fell though which wouldn’t be surprising taking its complexity into account.
Now that I’ve finished this masterpiece I can’t wait to read the novel to get a better feel of the story from its original “state” and obviously to experience their uncensored bromance😉

The story. The cast. The cinematography. I loved it. I loved how this c-drama is not like other c-dramas. I loved the relationship onscreen between the two main actors. This is easily one of my top c-dramas. I would not mind watching it for the third time in a row. I even showed this to my friend and she loves it. I feel that this c-drama is going to be more successful. I really loved the music and the OST. The ending song is really beautiful that it made me sad. I really loved the cinematography and the sets... Those are really beautiful. They even cgi the lanterns in one scene. I also loved the outfits.. My favorite outfit is the outfit that Xiao Zhan, (Wei Wuxian), wears which is the signature black and red outfit.

A perfect example of a series that can be made into a really interesting and incredibly addictive historical series without having to introduce or rely only on the great, moving romantic love. The drama is very well filmed. It captivates with its beauty and acting, widen the chemistry between the main characters. The set design and costumes created for the series are also enjoyable to watch. I am also pleased that the story is presented in a completely different way than expected. This is not a TV series for people who are looking for love raptures or romantic scenes between heroes. Although we are dealing with great feelings, they are an expression of fraternal, friendly love. I really enjoyed the drama. I also love the smooth transition from thread to thread without the viewer being unnecessarily confused.
I recommend watching the drama, you'll fall in love with it.

This was, hands down, the best Chinese drama I’ve ever seen. From the first episode you could see that it was made with love for the original material and the crew did their utmost to squeeze as much as possible from the money they had and from the amazing chemistry between the leads. Because as much as I loved everything else, the true gem of this story were Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo.

I’m so glad that this drama brought them both so much fame, they deserve it, they really do. Xiao Zhan for his hard work and for the many times he wasn’t treated right by the industry, from his own agency to variety hosts, and Wang Yibo for proving all the naysayers who didn’t trust his acting skills so wrong.

This drama pushed all my buttons mainly with Wei Ying and Lan Zhan’s story. Lovers or “just” soulmates, that never really mattered to me because their love was an almost tangible thing, expressed with tender looks and gentle touches and sweet, profound, everlasting loyalty and trust. And that’s what I found so glorious.

I admit I cried at the end of the final episode. Not because of the actual ending but because the drama was over. It felt like saying goodbye to a loved one. It truly had a profound impact on me.

This was my first Chinese drama - I'd only ever watched Korean dramas (and one Japanese drama) and wasn't sure if I'd like them or not. Well, I absolutely loved it! Now, I've watched several others and loved those too. Chinese dramas hit a little differently (at least the ones I've seen). Now, on to The Untamed :) This review will be coming from someone who didn't read the novel this drama is based on. That being said, I'm kind of glad I didn't. I loved how the show portrayed the two main leads and their relationship, and I believe it absolutely showed that they loved each other. The only thing I wasn't 100% satisfied with was the "vagueness" of the ending. Now, I firmly believe that someone was there when their voice was heard (trying to be non-specific here), but would it have hurt to show that person? I would have liked to see it xD I loved the fact that Wei Wuxian wasn't just a silly character, not that there was much time for being silly (prepare tissues), but he was so smart and they showcased it well. He was also really cool! Loved Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo as Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, respectively. They had great chemistry and did so well in their roles. Even though Wang Yibo didn't have many lines as Lan Wangji, he showcased his emotions so well with microexpressions. Loved it so much. I also loved the music in this series, especially the opening and ending. The duet with Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo is so beautiful. Okay now I'm just rambling. Go watch it!

Such a captivating story. Taking place over more than 16 years, the story is involved and complex. Characters grow and develop, and blur the lines as no characters are truly evil, and no characters are truly good. Right and wrong is tested and redefined time and time again. Xiao Zhan is a fantastic Wei Ying, bringing to life his playful attitude, and extreme confidence. Wang Yibo grows into his role as Lan Zhan, giving life to his stoic and upright, yet caring nature. While not perfect (the CGI isn't great, among other things), the story and its characters pull you into their world, and into the darkest (and brightest) moments of their lives. Definitely recommended.

Since there is a plethora of reviews for this drama already,
i'll just state why I really enjoyed it and how its different from other xianxia dramas.
First of all, I tried watching the anime version and never really got through the first few episodes. Not really an anime fan but after this drama I think I'll give it another go.
Back to the topic at hand, one of the reasons why I enjoyed this drama so much is that there's NO ROMANCE between male/female leads. The reason why I like that is cause I seen way too many cliche dramas of boyxgirl romance, PDA, etc. In a way, it can get really boring quick.
Therefore, The Untamed was a refreshing turn of events. No romance, but there's BROMANCE and even if there's no PDA involved. it's all in the emotions and the way the actors treat and look at one another.
Speaking of the actors, Wang Yi Bo and Xiao Zhan did a WONDERFUL job portraying their respective characters. This is one of the rare dramas where I enjoyed and loved all the actors/actresses because they played their part REALLY well. Even the actor who played Meng Yao, although he was irritating, I have to admit his acting was superb!
I love the that the drama display loyalty between the Weiying and Lan Zhan. Also include Wen ning and Jiang Yanli's love, dedication and loyalty for Weiying despite everyone else was against him. Despite whether or not he's wrong, they show us that you have to understand someone before you decide which side you want to be on.
Some of the sword choreography was lackluster, the editors focused too much how good it looks rather than letting us see more of the sword fights. Sometimes I was disappointed in that aspect, however I wouldn't dock points off of that.
The overall cinematography was wonderful as well as the scenery they filmed in were beautiful.

Definitely my no.1 pick for 2019. :)
