If you dont watch this, youll regret it!!!
First cdrama ive watched in loooonnnngggg time with no cliche 3rd party, jealous/evil girlfriend wannabes, etc. Instead, the story is solid and unfolds at a beautiful pace. It had me angry with the hypocritical cultivators who thought it was ethtical to kill under the guise of justice. Wei Wu Xian's character is complex, multi dimensional and it makes the audience empathise with him, even if you dont agree with his actions. This is the first movie ive deen Xiao Zhan and Yibo in, and I'm obsessed. XZ put his heart and soul into the role and it shows. He even lost more weight and looked more gaunt/depressed after being exiled from his sect. Lan Zhan is a loyal friend who always helps WWX even when he doesnt fully agree with him.Although the overt theme of love between the male characters isnt portrayed, i think i love it more with the subtleties, side glances and furtive looks. Sometimes more can be said with less. And this film has portrayed that beautifully between both the main characters. It took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, and i cant wait to finish it but ill also be sad when its done.

Simply one of the best shows I have ever seen
I have no words, this show left me speechless. I watched this during the quarantine and WOW is all I have to say..While I was VERY hesitant about watching it at first as I had no experience with Chinese dramas, and it was too big for my liking, I don't regret anything. Everything about it is perfect, the story line takes your breath away, every single person I have recommended this to was unable to watch JUST ONE episode, myself included, even though I am a person who has a hard time watching more than one episode. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, from anger, to happiness, to sadness and literal crying, this show has everything. The cast could not be better, every actor suits their role perfectly and no one could do a better job. The costumes and the props overall are AMAZING and they make the setting of the drama breathtakingly beautiful. The only one thing I did not like was some of the effects, but believe me, everything else makes up for it perfectly, you will NOT be disappointed.

boring, draggy, overrated
wanted to watch this drama for it's plot and storyline but it just was too boring, not sorry. started out first few episodes was okay, I didn't had much thoughts about it but as the drama progressed, I found myself struggling to stay awake or focus on this drama. It was purely so mild, there's no kick and DEFINITELY overrated, how did it even get good reviews? why was this even 50 episodes honestly, what a waste of my time thinking I would watch a high end drama with good actors but turns out just to be a lame story. The actors were good, no shade to any of them but honestly this type of drama is a type of drama the older generation would prefer, lousy and draggy just nice for grandma or grandpas.how did this show get such good reviews though?! I'm so surprised, did the chemistry, bts, appearance of the MLs trick everyone's mind into give it 10 stars? honestly I already know the main reason for it's popularity, Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan ofc. They're popular everywhere and even BL category is hard to find nowadays in cdramas because of China's strictness, that's why their bromance is shipped by many and attracting many netizens to watching this boring drama..

Eh tapi ternyata saudara-saudara, demi apa ini salah satu live action yang bener-bener diluar ekspektasi jahatku selama ini!!
Mulai dari pemilihan cast yang menurutku cukup sesuai dengan penggambaran yang ada di novel (Xiao Zhan gemesin parahhhh), visualisasi kediaman tiap klan yang juga disetting dengan niat, dan pastinya alur ceritanya yang walaupun ada beberapa penghilangan, tapi masih nyaman untuk diikuti.
Intinya, pantas untuk diikuti sampai tamat.

Un Cdrama muy recomendado!
Personalmente no me gustaban los C-dramas, tenía un cierto prejuicio acerca de la calidad de guión y producción visual de estos puesto que antes solía ver de reojo series chinas en televisión y no me convencieron en ese entonces pero, luego de ver The Untamed cambié mi parecer, ahora soy fan de los C-dramas. Buenos actores en especial Xiao Zhan ¡qué capacidad de actuación! muy carismático. Me encantó la forma en que se desarrollaron los personajes, la historia en general y la banda sonora. Una serie muy emotiva y cautivadora. Espero que haya segunda temporada. ❤️Esta resenha foi útil para você?
best drama I’ve seen so far!!
This show is so fantastic!! from the acting to the score and also it has very beautiful sets!! I loved the two main characters Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian and because of them I watched the donghua ver. as well as read the comic and novel versions. the only (minor) set back for me is that the story is confusing at times and it was only after seeing the various other formats that I understood most of what was happening in the show. still it was amazing and it’s going to be hard for another drama to top this one <3333Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The two leads are very talented actors and bring the character of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji to life.The stoic demeanor of WYB and playful attitude of XZ gels up so well with the characters.
The story is complex and the direction has been top notch to edit the story in such a way that it follows the source material and yet bring in freshness.
The actor who played the main antagonist has also done a phenomenal job .I felt so appalled by his character and that's something.
The music is very soothing to ears and the lyrics are wonderful and suits very well with the mood of drama.
Overall a great watch.I am going to miss the characters so much.

A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE (MUST WATCH)
First, let me just say that you don't even need to read my review to know that you must watch The Untamed! Just trust me, watch three or four episodes and decide if you want to continue (I guarantee that you will). But if you're still unsure, then read my review (or others) and I will try my best to keep this spoiler free for you (: (there's like one paragraph with spoiler so just skip that)I wanna start my review by saying I'm very picky and critical when it comes to films or shows. I don't give out 10/10's easily. I don't even give out 9/10's easily so it's even harder to get a 10 from me. Only three BLs (yes I'm including this even though it's censored) have ever gotten a 10 from me. Which are: The Untamed, History3 Trapped, and I Told Sunset About You. I've watched all 50 episodes of The Untamed THREE TIMES through. That's how much I love it.
Story: AMAZING. I can only come up with maybe two faults in this entire show and that's 1, the wigs aren't the best but you learn to ignore that, and 2, the graphics/sfx isn't always the best (like that dog/wolf thing lol - if you know, you know). But honestly, those minor things never take away from the magic that is The Untamed. At least not for me, and that's why I didn't deduct from the grade because of these minor flaws. Because other than that, the show as a whole is perfect. The storyline has so much depth and complexity. You find yourself completely invested in the characters and what happens to them that you'll find yourself crying into your pillow multiple times. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly, I went into The Untamed original just wanting to follow LWJ and WWX storyline since I knew it was based off BL source material. It took me a while to get around to watching it since I knew it would be censored and not outright obvious BL, but I eventually decided to just give it a go after hearing constantly how good it is. I'm glad I did because wow, the only way you'll be able to ignore the romance between WWX and LWJ is if you're not very observant to the subtleties.
[SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH and go to the next paragraph if you don't want to read SPOILERS] For example, the show is literally named after them because WU (from Wei Wuxian) JI (from Lan Wangji) roughly translates to The Untamed . Next is their song WUJI which Lan Zhan composed for Wei Ying and named it after their combined/ship name. Another example is them calling each other zhiji (which by the way, this scene replaced the scene in the original source material where they kiss) which has a lot of deep meaning to it. It would take ages for me to explain so I'll link this blog for you to read if you're really interested https://hunxi-guilai.tumblr.com/post/612161034673946624/all-right-guys-lets-have-a-conversation-about but basically, it's kind of like soulmates. To call someone your zhiji is to say they know you in a way no one does (not even yourself) and the meaning of 'knowing' here is apparently a big deal. Like, back in that time, it was better and more meaningful than to simply love someone because 'love' back then wasn't what it means today. A zhiji type relationship is one worth dying for. It can be platonic or romantic, but if you pair it up with all the other 'subtle' things in the series then it's obviously romantic. And WWX even says that it's more than enough to have one zhiji in his lifetime. Don't even get me started on how the only person Lan Zhan lets touch his sacred headband is Wei Ying when only his "spouse, parents, or children" are allowed to touch it. Or him basically proposing using two healthy chickens when he's drunk. Or how the morning after getting drunk, he was scared he may have let it slip that he LIKED him. Or Lan Zhan getting jealous over Wei Ying saving Mian Mian. Or the gay porn book Wei Ying pranked him with. Or all the freaking bunny references (the rabbit God in China is the God of homosexuality) like when there's a shot of two bunnies 'kissing'. Or after Wei Ying's resurrection, how Lan Zhan literally breaks all of his clan rules for him out of fear of not making the most of their time together - or that he was still wearing mourning robes after 16 years lol or that he brought up Ah Yuan for him when Wei Ying was like a father figure to him before ugh we love a happy family. OH and Xiao Zhan (Wei Ying) was calling Lan Zhan a "trash bf" for not standing by him etc, and the directors and cast talked about their love and yeah. ANYWAY.
Acting/Cast: PERFECT. Seriously. All the acting was great, by the physical actors and the voice actors. You could barely tell it was dubbed which *claps* well done to the voice actors, really. All the actors really fit their roles well and executed them perfectly. Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan will forever have my heart.
Music: BEAUTIFUL. I could write so much about the music in this series, and how freaking well they use it to impact the scenes significantly and beautifully, but I don't want to write an entire novel in this review. However, I have all the songs on my playlist, I love them that much. Especially WUJI. It can make me cry just listening to it, no kidding. Plus, every time you hear it in a scene (and the different versions), you instantly know it's a LWJ & WWX scene.
Rewatch Value: INCREDIBLE. I could rewatch this for the rest of my life and I'm not really someone who rewatches shows or movies unless it's been ages. But I love this so much that I could never get sick of it.
Overall: PHENOMENAL. All I have left to say is that you should give it a go because I highly recommend you do!

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, 'The Untamed' delves deep into themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of human nature. It's a story that resonates on a profound level, leaving a lasting impact long after the final credits roll.
