Initially, I found out about The Untamed through a compilation list of BL shows. Although the drama adaptation of The Untamed is not really BL, the novel adaptation is another level of BL (?). Still, you can find subtle hints in the drama series. (chickens, wearing bright red unlike the Wens, bowing three times, etc.)

I actually stayed throughout the drama thanks to the music, characters, storyline, cinematics, basically everything about the drama. Even if you intended to watch The Untamed just for BL, you should still watch the entire drama because it is really, really interesting and perfect.

The drama is not only based on the two main characters. There are multiple arcs in the drama that was presented and all of the arcs are linked to one another. Viewers will get to know a bit about the families, the different clans, the characters' backgrounds and personalities. The drama is not entirely about romance, and at the same time, not entirely about fighting.

The acting and cast are perfect. Some of the characters are monotonous/ does not have any facial expression because of their personality. Do not misinterpret the lack of facial expression as bad acting! At times, the back-up actors and actresses have their own funny moments (there are some compilation videos on Youtube).

There are actually two albums on Spotify about the songs or SFX played throughout the drama. I like how some of the characters got their own songs, instead of not only limited to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

It could be a hassle for some viewers who want to rewatch the drama. Some viewers may procrastinate due to the number of episodes. Personally, I would rewatch only some episodes at once and not the whole entire drama. There will be times where I rewatch the Yi City scenes, there will be times where I rewatch Sunshot Campaign scenes, there will be times where I watch other scenes.
