Finished the show this week and I loved loved it, the acting from both male leads was nearly flawless, really loved the symbolic references and poetic lines, and the delivery was immaculate by gong jun. Plot became bit heavy and complicated with progression as compared to light hearted opening but overall it was beautiful. The thing a bit irksome to me only and not a big deal was not related to drama but by its title cover which seemed a lot like untamed even though both have nothing in common, but I guess it was promotional tactic and not important. May be the target audience is same. Well I will highly recommend it to historical/costume drama lovers like me. Cinematography/production was not exceptionally good or outstanding but it works and overall quality is not effected. So watch it, you wont regret it, it also don't have lots of episodes so less time consuming and easily watchable.
It was so good, soo good, sooo good! I cant emphasise how much I loved it, it was always in my recommendation as it is super popular show but I was not in the mood to watch it because it has like 50 episodes plus I have never watched Chinese dramas esp historical, was a bit sceptical because I don't watch BL anime or dramas, so I just walked past it every time it came in my recommendation, but I had nothing to do so at last I thought I should just casually watch the first episode and then... boom I WAS HOOKED I watched the whole series in like 2 days, I loved it so much. This drama deserves all the love and praise it is getting. Actors did a great job in conveying emotions esp Main characters and supporting characters also did great, story was a bit hard to follow esp in later episodes but you can increase playback speed if it gets too lengthy for your taste, Music is awesome esp the main theme song.. Ending was pretty satisfying, prop ups to all the actors, production team, director and everyone who contributed to this marvellous season. It definitely is worth a watch.. *Just watch it guys*!!
