O Indomável (2019)

I’m a late bloomer to this story but I enjoyed every bit of it! From reading many reviews out there prior to watching, I did found out that the novel is a BL story, which I’m very new to. I don’t know exactly what it was but I can say I truly enjoyed the relationship that WWX and LWJ had, I smile when they smile, I laugh when WWX makes fun of LWJ and I cried when he cried. There’s not too many Chinese historical drama where you get the best of everything, leading and supporting actors, and enjoying the story that each character had to share.
I loved how each story developed, whether it was a good or bad character. And if it was bad, the story goes on to share why this character choose that path.
I simply loved the music!

I can say this is by far my new favorite Chinese drama for this year even though it was released in 2019. I’ve rewatched this 3 times now!

best chinese bl adaptation ever

best chinese bl drama i've watched, did not disappoint at all. different than the novel, but still keeps the romance. it's like watching a "shounen ai" anime/manga where its slow burn romance and they get together at the end, except there's no kissing because it's China so everything has to be implied. they did such a great job, it's not bromance, its definitely a romance. they're both in love and its glorious to watch. the slow burn and progression of their relationship is even better than the novel imo.

the special effects get some time to get used to because of the budget but whats more important is the wonderful story.

soundtrack is beautiful too.

if you're curious about the english subtitles, viki's is the best. netflix is too censored and a lot of things got lost in translation, the usa localization in subs is horrible.

I know that countless reviews have been written for this drama but it's so good that I had to write one praising it.

First, the music is phenomenal. Each significant character has his/her own song specially tailored to each character's experiences, with many of the characters singing their own songs!!! In fact, now I am listening to the concert that ran from 1st Nov to 2nd Nov. Highly recommended to listen to it!!! Some personal favourites: Lan Wang Ji and Wei Wu Xian's duet, Shi Jie's song [never fails to bring tears to my eyes], Wen Ning's character song

Second, the story. The story is decent, although nothing spectacular. Fans of the novel will be relieved to note that they stayed quite faithful to the novel, although they had to remove all the BL scenes. Personally, I am not a fan of BL so I was totally okay with the changes.

Thirdly, the cast. Wow, where should I begin..There were so many pairings that I loved...

1. Shi Jie x Wei Wu Xian: She was so adorable with Wei Wu Xian and their scenes were the ones most touching and heartbreaking. She was truly the world's best Shi Jie and always gentle and accepting towards Wei Wu Xian. When she died, Xian Xian's world ended :'((((((( no one will ever call him Ah Xian again.

2. Lan Xi Chen x Jin Guang Yao: Wow I never expected to like a pairing with the main antagonist in it. Jin Guang Yao was such an evil character that was so miserable. Maybe if at the start the person he met was Lan Xi Chen instead of Nie Ming Jue, he would never have done all the evil things that he did. Special mention: Jin Guang Yao x Su She..I have mixed feelings about the actor acting as Jin Guang Yao though, I thought he was good but something felt off about his acting

3. Lan Xi Chen x Lan Wang Ji: I never figured out how he figured out all his brother's expressions LOL

4. Wen Ning x Wei Wu Xian: Wen Ning is so adorable. Kudos to the actor for acting the contrasting personalities in Wen Ning so well.

5. The Yi City Arc: This was a bit short but good. It would have been nice if they had developed this more. I thought that the actor acting as Xue Yang had too exaggerated expressions..

6. Lan Si Zhui x Lan Jingyi x Jin Ling: These three are so cute together! It was so touching how they cried at the concert. Hope they stay friends after this drama.

Before I mention our OTP, let's talk about what I didn't like so much...

1. Wei Wu Xian x Jiang Cheng: This was the main reason why I didn't give the drama 10/10...I felt that Jiang Cheng's performance was not as impactful as I had hoped, but it could have been the nature of his character. It felt like he always had the same expressions. This was a pity as this was a very significant pairing, probably second only to the next one I am going to mention.

And now our OTP..
Lan Wang Ji x Wei Wu Xian: Wow I was blown away by their performances. I started out loving how adorable Xiao Zhan was as Wei Wu Xian but in the end Wang Yi Bo was the one who stole the show for me. Lan Wang Ji is a character that has barely any lines but he manages to convey all his inner feelings through minor tweaks in his expressions. The one where he smiled at the rabbit painting was my favourite. And they have SO MUCH chemistry. And the way he defends Wei Wu Xian!!! However, I must admit that Xiao Zhan as Wei Wu Xian put on a much more complex performance. His character was a tragically misunderstood hero that truly embodied the adage 明知不可为而为之

This drama basically made everyone like Literally EVERYONE who watched it to re-watch it again and again. I will say the first few episodes were kinda confusing and had to memorize so many names for the same person and really i wanted to give up watching this drama(which i still regret). BUT the reviews and the comments for this drama was the main reason which made me watch it and not give up. As the plot kept progressing it got better and better and the last thing you know- i got hooked in it. Starting from the casting,plot,costumes,directing,... everything was amazing. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo did give 100% justice and gave life to their respective characters. I cant imagine wei wuxian and lan wangji being played by other actors other than xiao zhan and yibo.

Spent a few days just watching this

Oh. my. god. I just finished watching it. I have read the novel too, but a while ago. Ever since then, I have been somewhat avoiding the series, I somehow hated the way they did the hair close to the face - stupid I know, but I felt like I don't want to add cringey details to the story in my head. In any case, I highly enjoyed this series, I marathoned it and trust me, it wasn't easy, as there are 50 episodes. I loved most of it, truly. But the ending really shocked me, I was blown to bits. I know they wanted it to be less romantic, make it less intimate, but that is truly impossible with these two, you cannot separate them like that it doesn't make any sense and I was feeling sick to my stomach watching them as they were in the end, especially because a the very end we never see LWJ. I feel unsettled with this ending, after the whole terrible build up. Don't get me wrong though, I feel like the series was definitely worth seeing, but now I just have to go back to the novel to calm myself. There is some rewatch value (I won't revisit it that soon, it is too powerful, but I see lots of other people rewatching immediately), but it is hard to imagine rewatching a 50 series piece - especially since along the way a lot of other characters had very long winded speeches and we all know what and who we came here for. In any case, the series has its appeal for different types of audiences and I can appreciate that. I also liked the goriness and all the blood spilling, why not. Ok folks, I am off to re-read the ending of the novel.

Storyline - Excellent story with intriguing plots and mystery that makes you think.
Acting - Excellent acting and casting.
Production - Excellent production with good direction and special effects. Fighting scenes were good and chemistry between actors were excellent.
Skipping scenes - I didn’t skip any scenes because the plot and story were intriguing.
Overall - an excellent drama however I could not relate to the chemistry between the main actors for obvious reasons. Not an even higher rating because of the supernatural content which is not really my cup-of-tea.

The Untamed is a drama that's going to ruin all other shows for you forever. Sheer brilliance at every step. The acting is exceptional. The storyline, plot twists, complexity of even the most innocuous characters blew my mind. The scenery and the set designs are a visual treat. The music will give you goosebumps. This is a show that will stay with me for as long as I live. A huge thank you to the author and the entire cast and crew for making this show. Wei Wuxian is going to be my spirit animal - making me smile and giving me confidence whenever I feel down. Also, if you don't have a love that's this strong in your life- a love that doesn't need a kissing scene to be felt, a love that transcends hardships and decades of separation, then is it at all worth having it? Lol it's ruined real life love for me.
I highly recommend this show to everyone. Please, please watch it and do not expect to understand what's going on in the first episodes. That'd be preposterous. Just give it a shot. It's a masterpiece. I sincerely do not understand why some mediocre shows have extremely high viewership and this show does not. It deserves all the love and recognition in the world.?❤?

a truly (i wish) bl

"Enquanto o mar lavar a areia e as estrelas estiverem no céu, nos encontraremos de novo."


não existe frase melhor para definir duas pessoas que nem mesmo a morte foi capaz de quebrar o elo entre elas.

parece ser uma experiência universal se deparar com os 50 episódios da série e pensar se realmente vale a pena assistir, tal como parece ser também uma experiência universal que ao terminar os 50 episódios desejar que tivesse um pouco mais.

assitir the untamed foi uma experiência muito interessante, eu engatei nos episódios e assistia todos os dias até que a história ficou um pouco lenta demais e eu precisei diminuir o ritmo para não largar tudo. ritmo esse que voltou nos 10 últimos episódios. sobre a história é algo muito divertido de se acompanhar, existem muitas reviravoltas e acontecimentos na maior parte do tempo então é difícil de se sentir entendiado. os personagens são interessantes e tem uma trilha sonora muito bonita. fiquei apaixonado no lan zhan e no wei wuxian e pensando no que poderíamos ter tido se não fosse a china...

Story: The story is amazing! Every subplot was interesting, especially when you get to the Yi City arc. The overall story was well done and although when you start watching, you want WWX to travel to the current timeline, as soon as a few episodes past, the more you want to see the past between him and LWJ. In addition, this drama is a BL novel so because of China's restriction, they couldn't show BL romance but the bromance was still there.

Casting: Wonderful cast as even the minor roles and support roles were praised. Xiao Zhan portrayed WWX so beautifully and Wang YiBo also portrayed LWJ beautifully. I cannot imagine anyone else portraying them. In addition to the main, Wen Ning was amazing. He was so innocent and it truly aches my heart that he had to go through all that BS so props to Yu Bin for being so cute lol. Xue Yang was legendary as well. His character was suppose to make me hate him but I just couldn't; I feel pity towards him and the actor Wang Hao Xuan did so freaking well portraying such a character.

Cinematography: The scenes were beautiful although there were certain scenes where you can tell it's a green screen like the boat and the lotus scene lol but other than that, everything was beautiful.

Overall: I genuinely love this drama and it's a drama that when you start you have to binge in order for it to fulfill you but when I finished this drama, I was having withdrawl symptoms because it just felt like I lost something to look forward to. However, I highly recommend this drama and you will definitely fall in love with every character.

Highly Recommend!

This is my first review on MyDramaList, yes that's how much I enjoyed this drama that I must write a review about it.

Best chinese drama ever seen!

Each one of the characters in this drama is very well played and not over-acting at all. Although I dislike the evil characters in this show, however, I have to give credit to them because they bring the evil out from that character they portray.

Obviously, the two male leads are amazing, can't even choose one over another, they both are super awesome together. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo definitely bring Wei Wu Xian and Lan Zhan characters to life.

I was a little confused in the beginning, the first couple of episodes but as you should because you need to let the drama tell its story. It's hard to explain all in words how the relationships between the brothers, the friends, siblings and the two main leads in the dramas are, you have to watch it to understand and experience the emotions the drama brings you. This drama stirs up a different kind of emotion in me which I’ve never experienced before in other dramas.

I love Wei Ying and Lan Zhan relationship, how they care for each other, trust each other, and support one another without questions or reason. I'm glad the script writers didn't overdo or under-do their relationship and kept it so beautiful. I highly recommend this drama if you're debating on watching this drama or not.

Love the theme song throughout the drama!

BEST C-DRAMA EVER

Unbelieveable. That's the only word to describe this whole drama. I watched some best drama, But this one is very crazy.
Story : The storyline is very good and has many plot twist in it. Initial Episode (16 years later) indeed made time confused, and also episodes 10-20 was a little bit boring. But what happened next really covered all the flaws in the previous. Complaints above can also be overcome when you watch The Untamed Special Edition (cut version to 20 episodes).
Acting : As a beginner at C-Drama and not familiar with actors like Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, I was fascinated by their acting. Plus another supporting cast that is also very good, especially Jiang Cheng, Wen Ning, and Wen Qing (because I've seen Meng Ziyi on Ever Night and The Legend of Condor Heroes). After watch The Untamed, I made Xiao Zhan as references in finding films and finally found some, like Joy of Life, Oh My Emperor, The Wolf, and Douluo Continent.
Music : Wonderful. All the music in this drama is very very great. From Opening music to the Closing "WuJi" Soundtrack is very wonderful.
Rewatch Value : This film is worth to be watched again 1000 times (Although some scenes might I skip like when Wen sect attacked Yunmeng,etc.)

I dont know why, but Some scenes will always be in my head, Like when Lan Wangji drunk at 36th episode and almost stole 2 chickens for Wei Wuxian (I can tell that cold people are very funny when they are drunk)
