One word for this drama: PERFECTION! I seriously couldn't tear my eyes off the screen starting from the first episode! The twist and and the cliff hangers were out of this world. They were amazing.

I gotta say when I first heard of the drama, it didn't capture my attention. I didn't know Lee Jin Wook and I really didn't like Jo Yoon Hee in Lie To Me. So I was doubting a lot. But boy oh boy was I wrong. Their acting was spectacular. Their chemistry was a plus!!It was so cute watching them together. I wish they were going in real life just like how Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na did. You never know ^^ In fact both of them became favorite actors now. It wasn't only them, also the friend, the brother, all of their acting were amazing.

THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA OF 2013 and also BEST TIME TRAVEL DRAMA.
Whoever didn't watch it please give it a try and I guarantee it you will love it!!

And if you're looking for intense kiss scene not like kissing a wall scene, then you'll definitely love this drama ^_^

All right I should stop. But what can I do!!;) This is one of this drama that you can write about forever and ever and ever :)

BOW DOWN TO ALL THE ACTORS< WRITERS EVERYONE IN THE DRAMA!!THANK YOU GIVING US SUCH A GREAT DRAMA XD

I really like Lee Sung Jae on Gu Family Book, believe it or not. His character was my second favorite after Choi Jin Hyuk's so I decided to look up other dramas of him and OMG! This guy is really handsome! They made him look old but in reality he's only 45 though he doesn't look like it to me. So I found this drama but o boy when I came to check the reviews, it looked like not that many people. My only question is why?? I know it's their opinions but I really liked it. It was a really cute drama with lot of cute light moments. It’s the small moments, the exquisitely-handled romantic scenes that pepper almost every episode, that lift this drama above average, but it’s not just that. It's also the characters. Lee Soo Kyung as lawyer woo did fabulous job portraying her character. And of course Lee Sung Jae as millionaire Min-Gook was amazing. I loved the way he portrayed the character. Well, consider me one of his fans now. If you're looking for a drama with laws and stuff then don't watch this but if you're looking for cute, light romance then go ahead. For me it was absolute delight from beginning till the end.

This drama is a precious gift that is going to be a timeless classic in future!

Adjectives like Enthralling, mesmerizing, captivating, intriguing , entertaining ,magnificent, lavish & utterly addictive can describe this gem of a drama. It is a precious gift that is going to be a timeless classic in future! This fifty-episode drama take us on a powerful path of complex storylines and heart-wrenching longing. It’s a story of self-sacrifice and betrayal, abandonment and retribution, guilt and forgiveness, and the acceptance of responsibility for actions. Choosing to stand together for love and for what is right no matter the consequences; living with regret, and living despite regret.

Story: Let me start out by saying initial few episodes might seem convoluted and confusing, but as you keep delving deeper into the drama, you will notice the fabulous story being unraveled & unfolded. It is an intricately woven tale of family, friendship, resurrection, retribution and everlasting love. The story is amazing! There is not one dull moment in the entire story. Overall, the story feels very compassionate. It wants you to love the majority of the characters and it sympathizes with the audience’s pain when those characters suffer. It rewards deeper thought. It rewards the viewer for caring about the characters, which is something I’ve really needed this year specifically, when it feels like so many shows have been punishing their audience for caring about the characters.

Characters: Each character and not just the two main ones, have been given so much care and you actually feel all of them experience growth from the events that transpire as the series progresses. Each characters are very complex and has so much depth, not to mention how emotional some scenes can be and yet, the actors managed to nail every single one of them. From Wei Ying with his dazzling smile and yet crushed with grief at his final moments, Lan Zhan with his poker face but softness and concern that you can see in the right moment, and even Meng Yao with his nuances.

Acting: Wei Ying and Lan Zhan is thoroughly justified –kudos to actors! Xiao Zhan really is the best Wei Ying and Wang Yibo the best Lan Zhan. They were born to play these characters. They are perfectly cast and do complete justice to their respective characters. Every emotion they portray is realistic. You laugh with them, you cry with them, you feel their pain, their vulnerability, most finely nuanced performances. The chemistry between them is so palpable that you forget they are just a couple of young Chinese actors. Xiao Zhan's acting is so versatile, he brings out the lead character's many many layers with such efficiency, it gives me goosebumps. Wang Yibo on the other hand is pure LOVE. His subtle expressions speak volumes for the character, making him irresistible. And the two of them get along so well, and their love just oozes out of every scene they share. It would be not fair if I don’t mention the contribution of all the supporting actors-who are all simply marvelous and are top quality assets to the whole plot! Alongside becoming completely invested in the two main characters, you start to love nearly the whole cast.

Costumes: When it comes to costumes and props, the producers aren’t here to play. Each character’s costumes have their own unique style, it depends on what state they are in the story. The costumes have around 5-6 major themes, each corresponding to the clan they belong in.

Cinematography: The breath-taking cinematography captured all its beauty, but still focused on the story. I just really love how they directed the cinematography, as it’s one of the elements that keeps the audience watching. The cinematographers took their time in making this element perfect.

Fighting scene: Fight scenes are common scenes throughout the drama and they happen to be some of the scenes I enjoy a lot. I have no exact word of explaining this, but gravity physics is different in this show. The fight scenes are not your typical sword-to-sword fight scene because there’s no fight scenes as graceful as the ones in The Untamed. No matter how gruesome it is, it will always be graceful, as if they’re dancing instead of fighting but somehow still give the vibes of suspense, aggress, and domination.

Music: The music for this drama is ridiculously beautiful. Each of the main characters have their own song. The composition of all the songs are amazing. The lyrics of all the songs tells you the stories of the characters. I love Wuji but to be honest, I love all of them. It’s hard to pick one over another, that’s how good they are. The background music is very melancholy (in a good way). One will want to keep going back to listen to them just to calm down or distress or even just to go down the memory lane of this beautiful drama. Every single one of them is strong enough to give different emotional vibes.

Finally the BL part of the show: The production team seems to have fought for the most romantic interpretation of the show it could get away with. They’re brilliant. Even without stating the relationship as explicitly romantic, this drama managed to show how pure the love between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan is. There are simply too many amazing scenes with them where their relationship transcends the limitations allowed in the script, as seen in the actor’s choices when delivering not only lines, but body language choices and implications behind movement in general. It shows that love can be shown and felt without saying the words “I love you,” and sometimes it’s trailing off sentences that imply more than they are able to say. The Untamed heightens every interaction between them, cementing the idea for me that this is one of the most epic love stories I have ever witnessed. It isn’t every day you see a slow burn like this, and I for one, cherished every moment of it.

I cannot stress this enough: the efforts put into this show is amazingly huge and well thought over. It’s not that type of fantasy drama where they’re just in one studio and overuses greenscreen. The Untamed really went on their way filming on different settings, making well-designed costumes, composing music, and making fiction feel real to make the fantasy its best version. This is one of the many reasons why CQL/The Untamed is one of the best dramas ever. It’s because the efforts of the producers, cast, and anyone who contributed to this drama is impossible to disregard.

I can’t believe I finished this drama! Is it really over?? Sadly it is. I really wish there more than 15 episodes. There wasn’t a single episode I was bored at all! To be honest I didn’t really care about this drama when it came out. First of all the manga didn’t end, second I hate dubbings especially knowing how their real voice actually sounds like so that’s the biggest turnoff for me. Of course can’t seem to forget the fact that dramas don’t usually don’t justice to mangas/book and since this is one of my favorite manga, I was like No, thank you.

But no no!! This drama is amazing!!Love loved it!! Yeah Siwon and Donghae’s acting could’ve been better specially Donghae’s. Feel like he didn’t give expression to the character he needed. Like the time when he was falling down from the tower and saw Gong Xi crying. His face was suppose to be shocked but Donghae couldn’t really do that. But Siwon was much better. Some of his expressions were amazing like the time when he speaks to the president and doesn’t admit his feelings for Gong Xi, loved him! He has the long face, body like ren has in the manga. And the way he walked and his attitude I liked it. And am I too stupid to realize that I just realized he one of the cutest dimple ever!! Yes they still need to improve their acting a lotttt especially with their expressions and the dubbings were really turnoff and took me to get used to it or else everything else was fine.

And Ivy Chen…OMG loved her since the beginning. She portrayed Gong Xi so well! It was exactlyy like the manga version! Loved the way she got mad at Bo Pho Shang, the way she get’s confused and of course her devil spririt!! Hehehe can’t forget them. The way she get's hyper. Her growth as a character was really good. It was like how it was in the manga. Also the friend Qin and manager, Mr. Du so perfect!! Couldn’t have imagined anyone better than them! If you didn’t read the manga at first you’d think she’s gonna be the bitch but turns out to be something else!! The manager ayoooo so cute!! His expression, his glasses, so cute! And of course the bromanc…I meant sismance between Gong Xi and Qin is one of the sismance I’ve seen and that’s really rare to in dramas. Overall this is a really cute drama! But I would recommend to read the manga first before starting the drama since it could get a little confusing and you might think it’s little exaggerating. Would’ve given this drama a perfect score if not because if not because of the short episodes :(

PS: The OST! No wonder they were so popular! Can't get solo out of my mind! Especially with the strating credit and they show every characters' hillirious!
