The whole story of both of the shows feels odly familiar to each other. The pain and suffering when watching the series, left big impact on me, i can't even explain why and how, it just did. You can find bromance in both of them, that's probably why you here. The Spirealm takes place in our world how we know it, but with some future developments. It tells story about people being stuck in a game, VR to be exact. However, The Untamed takes place in ancient China, which is totally different from The Spirealm, but it still has some similarities between them. The whole story is pretty comlicated if you ask me in both of the series. You'll have to really pay attention, if you miss something, you can get lost easily. There are lots of good side characters, which is not really common, they're very likeable and greatly played out. But, if i'm gonna talk about acting, The Untamed made me laugh by the worst acting i've ever seen. The acting doesn't include main characters, they were extraordinary. I'm gonna talk about side side characters. They weren't almost seen, maybe that's why it was so bad. Just look at some fighting scenes, you can see clearly what i'm talking about. I think they forgot that we can see them, i don't know.
The Untamed is lacking some good CGI effects, it's something that i hated when i fisrt watched it. But don't be mistaken, the show is really good overall, but this is something that stands out a lot. There's no way we can change it, let's just recognize the fact and move on.
I feel that if you liked one of these, you'll like the other. It has the same vibe and energy, terrifying and tension moments, sad and torturing scenes, but also some nostalgic and pleasant moments that makes you feel odly satisfying. Also, both of them are a threat to Chinese censorship, which led to some unexpected actions. So, if you like scandals, this two shows will make you cry because of it. I hope you'll enjoy it. Have a nice day

It gives the same vibe as About Youth, it makes you think and cry in the most beautiful way possible. Blueming left such big impact on me it's impossible to explain. About Youth made me to expirienced it all of it again in slightly different way but it left me broken with many thoughts, just like after watching Blueming.

- game and gaming
- nice, warm and welcoming main character
- greatly written side characters
- teamwork and friendship
- nicely done from visual perspective
- bromance (less/none romance in The King's Avatar)
Both dramas have this special splace in my heart, because they make me feel welcome and left me with pain, understanding, mixed feeling but also with regret of not watching it sooner. I enjoyed both dramas and as someone, who wathed The King's Avatar because they saw a bromance tag, but never get it from the show, I love it with my whole heart. I forgot about the romance part, the only thing that kept me going were the characters and the interesting view of the game itself. It makes me wanna live in it, feel it and also play it on my own, to just feel the excitement of the world that was created by these shows. I recommend both of thse shows, hope you'll enjoy it!!
