The Untamed

Trust me when I say this series is the most perfect blend of fantasy, subtle romance and family drama. Everything about this series has me wanting to rewatch it more than a few times. From the actors Xiao Zhan and Wang YiBo to the cinematography, the costumes, the sets and amazing soundtracks. This series brings me so much joy to watch!

Would highly recommend this series to anyone that wants to appreciate a good Chinese drama.

I was looking for some Mandarin-language TV show to improve my Chinese, and I stumbled across the Untamed. The actors seemed okay, the scenography was cool and I started watching. However, after just a few episodes, I was so into the story. The relationships between the characters are beautiful, and the story keeps on getting more and more sad but I couldn't stop watching. I really liked the Lan Zhan and Wei Ying relationship. The way Wei WuXian says "Lan Zhan" in the beginning is so enthusiastic and kind of annoying, however - at the end of the series it becomes so gentle and caring. Ironically, the reason I started watching this TV show was just to improve my Chinese. But now I want to improve my Chinese BECAUSE of this series.

Literally the most amazing drama. I cried, laughed and fell completely in love with the entire cast. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable and they're such amazing actors that they completely brought the characters to life. 50 episodes, 44m each is definitely NOT enough, I was left wanting even more considering I binged this show and finished it within 3 days. 10/10 recommend and I lowkey want amnesia so I can rewatch everything.

I can't remember seeing tv series that afected me so much. I don't know if that is because of the different style (Chinese movies have a unique approach to the viewers) or because of the drama plot itself but it was so good. The first few episodes I've struggled with because there was so much information I had hard time remembering and a lot of names which I couldn't remember but after a few episodes it was easier for me to watch. I think the most interesting thing about the drama were the characters and their development through the episodes. There was a hidden message behind every scene which I found absolutely fascinating. The two main leads executed their roles perfectly. I was captivated by Wang Yibo's performance as Lan Zhan. To have a few lines and to have to count on the facial expressions it's the most difficult role to play. Good job! Abou the plot - it was interesting, it touched very powerful and meaningful themes such as family relationships, brotherhood and even love. Some the scenes in the series were one of the most romantic things I have ever watched, even though there were only hints. I found that approach very powerful. The costumes were great, the atmosphere was like a fairytale, the OST was perfect. And yes, after 30th episode when everything started to come to place I cried a lot and I'm not a movie crier at all. Every little detail moved me and after the last episode I can't stop thinking about that drama.

This drama started off slow for me but the story really came together. Just be patient as the story is unfolding. The two leading characters did an amazing job portraying their emotions. The Main character Wei Wuxian has the most beautiful smile. He is such a talented actor. I love their chemistry. There are so many twist and turn in the drama. The beautiful music really pulls at your heart strings. I cannot say enough good things about it. Clearly the world feels the same as this drama has been trending for quite some time now and have launched the two leads into super stardom. The loyalty between the two main characters is beautiful. One of the best drama I have ever watched and I have watched a lot of drama. I am completely obsessed and have been following their careers since watching it. Even after watching it so many times, I am still picking up new tidbits. Kudos to the cast and crew of The Untamed. What a masterpiece.
