O Lobo (2020)

Plenty of Ups and Downs

Well worth the wait. All actors were amazing from the main leads to all the supporting actors. There are plenty of romantic moments, lots of angst, exciting fighting scenes, humour, friendship, even the baddies were not annoying, they drove the story. One of the few dramas where I barely fast foward scenes, I was interested in all the characters. The music was moving and really added to the mood of the scenes. Although I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, I am not sure if i could watch it again knowing what happens throughout, perhaps will revsit my favourite parts!!

Fantastic series to die for!

Firstly, I would like to appreciate everyone involved in this spectacular series. I must say I was completely overwhelmed by every aspect of this show. I finished watching "The Wolf" in less than a week without skipping or fast-forwarding episodes or scenes. So, you guys could imagine how I looked like after watching it. 😭 Two of the reasons why I loved "The Wolf" were simply because of the exciting story line and an unique love story between the two main leads. Darren Wang and Li Qin did a fantastic job with their characters and I was completely in love with both of them. Well, frankly speaking, watching Darren Wang as Bo Wang was the pleasure of my eyes as he was undeniably perfect for the role. The chemistry he had with Li Qin was also on point. They were so undoubtedly perfect for each other. I just could not take my eyes off them whenever they appeared on screen.

Finally, I would recommend "The Wolf" for all of you out there. I strongly believe you won't feel regretful after watching it. Trust me. It is indeed one of the best drama series you could possibly ask for. Thumbs up!!

EXPECTATIONS ARE PREMEDITATED RESENTMENTS.

Classic story of a big budget drama presented as an incredible journey and ending as a mere walk around the block.
Storyline: since the beginning I though that the wolf/human storyline was used way too much. On top they added another oversaturated plot of love triangles, betrayals, misunderstandings among the main characters THAT they never discuss.
Acting: here is the big blow. The male primary characters are short of "unwatchable", where the females protagonist, in spite of being much better, are too cover in blood and dirt with perfect hair and makeup to notice anything else. (The director should have learned from Kill Bill).
Screenwriting: OMG. The first episode is borderline offensive. I LOVE my dog and her IQ is super high. Wolves are creature of immense intelligence. Did you research before writing anything down for wolves impersonification ? Since the story is bloody and dark, then keep it such. Don't spray bits of grotesque on it.
I am awaiting the Yin and Yeng master after watching the OTS. Now I'm afraid it's going to be another blow.
The pariah of beautiful people do not cover the complete failure of this drama. Sorry for such harsh criticism, but there are actors in China very underrated.

49 Glorious Episodes of Wang Da Lu <3

I watched this drama purely for Darren Wang Da Lu. I’m a fan. Yes, I am. To me, he is a extremely hot, charming and handsome. I had to watch this drama for him!

I highly recommend this drama if u, like me, are a Darren fan. Please watch this drama to enjoy how tremendously handsome he is in it! I enjoyed seeing him on my tv screen. He is gorgeous.

Watch because:
- Darren is the male lead. He is so very manly and powerful in this show. He looks supremely gorgeous in his getup. He looks so suave and powerful on horseback. I love his side profile which we get plenty of. I love his kiss scenes which are tender and yet, hot and sexy! He is my main reason for watching and my fellow likeminded fan of Darren, pls watch to enjoy Darren. He is awesome in this drama.
- Great acting from most actors and actresses, especially Darren/ Bo Wang. I think that Darren deserves Best Actor Award for his performance in this drama.
- The sound track is well-made and I have been listening to it non-stop since I started on the drama. The best songs are the ones sung by Jolin Tsai and another two called Stone and Sirius. Well-made OST for sure.
- Storyline is fairly good - exciting and interesting.

The parts that I didn’t like much:
- Lots of bloodshed.
- The female lead got on my nerves quite a bit. She could have been re-cast and another better female lead would have been better. I can think of better/ more suitable actresses but I won’t name any.
- The nasties - meaning the bad characters - are awful. The King is mad for power. The second son is crazy and evil. There are a few very annoying characters in this drama.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this drama and I will definitely rewatch this drama for scenes with Darren/ Bo Wang. He is truly extremely handsome, charming and charismatic in this drama. I have seen him in movies and yet, in this drama, he is exceptional! Exceptionally handsome! Exceptionally powerful! Exceptionally great! Watch for 49 episodes of darling Darren/ Bo Wang. <3

Phenomenal Acting

I am delighted with the acting. I rarely see such dedicated actors. I know many of them from other dramas and I have the impression that each of them gave their whole heart to this drama.
I am not the first and the last person to love the character of Ji Chong. It is not about the phenomenal Xiao Zhan, but about how completely this character was built - his family relations, baggage of the past, personality. I get the impression that due to the fact that this is a character without supernatural elements, he was treated very gently by the censorship and it was cut out of it as little, or almost not at all.
Well, you can see that the censorship treated The Wolf ruthlessly, yet the producers saved what they could and for me the overall impression is excellent. Many elements were left to the viewer's imagination, but for me it only added charm to the drama.
Personally, I like this drama very much, mainly because of the actors / characters. The heroes have their advantages and disadvantages, they are very realistic and passionate. They make up for any other shortcomings.
Not recommended to people who like sweet romances. I recommend it to people who do not mind a certain emotional 'juiciness'.

It is a Decent drama

I just Finished it & have to say it was started so well but the plot messed up by the second half of the drama specially I didn’t like the character development for the FL , I was expecting better than that. But overall it was watchable for me . Many things had made it up for the flaws like the nice second leads & their side stories, the BGM , OSTs, AND The CG ! Despite it was produced in 2017 but in my eyes its way better than many of recently produced dramas. I am fine with any kind of ending except surely the vague non conclusive one so the ending of this series was ok for me & I like even how they gave a glimpse of what everyone of them is upto in their lives which is not the usual case for many dramas. Would I recommend it ? For me It is a decent drama would recommend it if you want to kill time or you are a fan of the leads .. I think If I wasn’t a fan of Li Qin & Xiao Zhan , I wouldn’t watch it till the end.

Came for Xiao Zhan, stayed for Darren Wang and Li Qi

About the storyline, I don't think I've ever watched anything like this. Maybe because I also never really watch historical dramas, but this. This one really did it for me. It's just so original, touching and overall a masterpiece. Nothing was expected or just cliche, no cringe at all and I give the actors a big round of applause for this.
The acting was SUPERB. I honestly came here for Xiao Zhan, but the two main leads' performance, Li Qi ans Darren Wang's, was amazing. I got to know knew actors and I'm looking forward to other future works.

Gosh the relationship between Li Qin and Darren Wang is just mind blowing and so perfect. It actually gave me chills, especially at the end. You'll fall in love with the ml trust me, from the very first episode his smile just did it for me. He is also very handsome. The acting is great and these two just have such great chemistry together, that's maybe one of the relationships everyone dreams about. The trust, love in their eyes, going through pain together and all the sacrifices. I just loved it. My heart feels heavy and light at the same time, I don't even know anymore. If you are hesitating in watching this, just jump on it, you won't be disappointed.

The music is also a great aspect of this drama. It's not too loud, so it doesn't overlap the actors' voices and it also fits the scenes perfectly. I'm sure you'll find the ost really pleasurable and soothing.

There is one thing I didn't like though.
The MAKE-UP: some of you think some of the actors are naturally tan, especially the male actors. But that's not it at all. The make up wasn't really my cup of tea. If you want to make a person tan then please cover up the ears and hands too, at least when there's a scene in which they do appear. It looked as if the face and the ear of the ml belonged to two different persons.

That's all for my review, I hope it helped. Don't hesitate in watching this, you won't be disappointed.

Bittersweet ending but the only way it can end

I've never really liked bittersweet endings or where the main leads or lead die but this one didn't bother me. It was the only ending it can have that made sense especially for me who felt so bad for Ji Chong. I've never really seen a lot of second leads or part of a love triangle where they do not plot against the male lead to win the female lead. His character was mature, understanding and supportive. In the end, he gave up his love so she can be with her love. He really lived up to the saying, "If you love someone, set them free." I was so heartbroken for him. All the things he did for her and I don't think she really appreciated it that much. At least, we know Ma Jing knew it. Anyway, this ending of Zài Xing dying frees him from seeing Wolfie and Zai Xing living so happily and Zai Xing being sad and alone when Wolfie dies. I know it would have broken his heart even more to see her that way. Am I a fan of Ji Chong? Looks like it. Haha

I enjoyed the other characters also like Ma Jing, Wen Yan, Mo Xiao, Hai Die, Yao Qi and Bao Na. The latter, I'm not sure if I wanted her to be with Ji Chong. She seems too young or immature for him.

The story has a lot of misunderstandings that sometimes, I just wish, they would just explain their reasoning so it would clear it up. But yeah, if that happens, no story. It was a sweet story of a girl and a boy who grew up meeting each other again but in totally different situations that have them hate, love, hate and love each other.

I enjoyed it.

The Moral Lesson of the Wolf

If you have watched all the way, great. I'm sure you will know what I am trying to get to here.

This drama is meant to tell us that not everything goes the way we expect it to go. The tragic ending leaves us in shock. Same with life. Life is unpredictable and uncertain. The Wolf is an example of it. This drama is intense and fills us with excitement. As watchers, we can predict what's happening next and what's going on. But in the story, none of the characters know that there is a huge misunderstanding. Technically, all dramas have misunderstandings in them. If not, there will be no conflict, right?
