O Indomável (2019)

If you're tired of cliche and romance heavy plot, then this is the drama for you

If you're tired of cliche and romance heavy plot, then this is the drama for you. It sill start off a bit confusing in the first few episodes, but the story is worth the wait.

The cast was great especially the chemistry between the two male leads Xiao Zhan and Wang Yi Bo and I think that is the reason I've become so immersed in watching the drama. I've been watching dramas from as early as I can remember and for the 25 yrs I've watched television, this series really stood out for me and it's been unforgettable since. The story could have been explained a bit better but overall I think it's still solid as is.

Watch it. You won't regret.

Series that you should not miss. Watch it!!!

When I first watched this series, I only knew that it is popular. I know only it is from BL novel. So I am kind of interested how can the producers can make BL series in China, the country which strictly control about this type of relationship”

Surprisingly, I do not feel about BL at all, but It focuses on the beautiful friendship between 2 persons. It is like we found one true friend who we can depend on either when we are sad or happy.

I really enjoy the whole 50 episodes and did not press fast forward like I usually do for some series. After I finished the Series and started checking on Behind the Scene. I was very impressed more on how they can turn from the awkward moment then they first met to be very closed friend during they shoot this series together. I strongly recommend whoever have not watched it yet. Please do!! You won’t regret it.

It's So Very Good

So basically this show is really good, and here's why. First is the characters. Wei Ying is such an enjoyable main character. He never comes off as annoying to the audience despite annoying every character in the show. He's the most selfless person on the show and does things because he believes they're the right things to do. He literally leaves his perfectly fine life so he can live with the outcasts and give them a home. So when he attacks the rest of the characters, nobody watching believes he is in the wrong. Meanwhile, Lan Zhan is the perfect love interest for him. Their time together is great not only because their personalities are complete opposites, but because also because of the subtle ways they show they really care for one another. Those are the parts where the show is at its best. When it takes time to develop the relationship between the two leads. The actors have great chemistry and really give it all in their performances. The other side characters serve their roles. Shi Jie is the saint who never does any wrong and ultimately has to die for the plot reasons :(. Jiang Cheng is the sibling that always hates on Wei Ying but ultimately is completely justified in his actions, even if it makes him seem like a terrible person. The other side characters are not very important really, mostly just one-dimensional people who love to hate on Wei Wuxian.

So I would say the biggest weakness of this show is the plot. It's certainly still good, but some parts go by pretty slow. Like many Chinese dramas, this one didn't really pick up until about episode 15. The previous episodes all serve to set the characters and the setting before everything goes down. The part immediately after Wei Ying comes back to life also dragged a bit. I just remember not being very interested when they went underground into a tomb for blades. One last part that was slightly underwhelming was the finale, which is a shame. The build up was fine but at the end they basically just ended up talking in the temple while the evil henchman dude dug a hole. Then it was over pretty quickly. But the reveal that the little Nie guy was behind it all was pretty good, even if it was a very last second thing.

One last thing about this show is that the music in it is just amazing. It's one of the only shows/movies where the music actually plays a role in the plot. I feel like I should mention it because even though they basically play a bunch of variations of WuJi, it's still so good and never gets old.

It's just a really good drama.

It was so good, soo good, sooo good! I cant emphasise how much I loved it, it was always in my recommendation as it is super popular show but I was not in the mood to watch it because it has like 50 episodes plus I have never watched Chinese dramas esp historical, was a bit sceptical because I don't watch BL anime or dramas, so I just walked past it every time it came in my recommendation, but I had nothing to do so at last I thought I should just casually watch the first episode and then... boom I WAS HOOKED I watched the whole series in like 2 days, I loved it so much. This drama deserves all the love and praise it is getting. Actors did a great job in conveying emotions esp Main characters and supporting characters also did great, story was a bit hard to follow esp in later episodes but you can increase playback speed if it gets too lengthy for your taste, Music is awesome esp the main theme song.. Ending was pretty satisfying, prop ups to all the actors, production team, director and everyone who contributed to this marvellous season. It definitely is worth a watch.. *Just watch it guys*!!

The acting for this was really great. All of them felt exactly like their characters from Wei Ying's extroverted personality to Lan Zhan's "my eyes speak more than my mouth". All the actors perfectly suited their characters which makes watching the untamed so much more enjoyable. The music was also perfect for the drama as it represents the characters and their situations very very well. The drama shows how in life there isn't someone who is only evil and someone that is only good. It's shows the grey area of certain situations and characters in an understandable way. Characters like Xue Yang who have a complex story where you can't help but pity him and feel bad for him despite his evil deeds. I'm glad that the drama didn't really deviate from the novel and the romance/bromance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan is very apparent in the drama.

My only problem (minor problem) with the drama is that I didn't like how the entire past was shown in about 20+ episodes in the beginning rather than how the novel did it where it was flashbacks whenever Wei Ying got reminded of something. I personally liked that more than the drama but it wasn't a major issue. The untamed is a great drama to watch if you want to laugh and cry (Yi City arc breaks my heart everytime) and is worth rewatching again.

Superb in every way

This is how to provide high quality and uncompromised tv series. It has back story, beginning, middle, and end. If this would have been adapted by western producers, they might have stretched it to 4 or 5 seasons/years.

The cast and crew gave their all. Sure the visual effects could have been better, some actors could have performed a bit more, final 15 episodes could have tightened the flow with more actions than just mostly revealing conversations. No show is perfect anyway.

The writers took advantage of the censorship and turned it into opportunity to be more creative and unique story telling.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! GO WATCH IT NOW!!

I have come back to edit my stupid comment from a few months ago! This drama does not deserve any critics from me!

I LOVED this drama so much that I have started writing fanfictions, created a tumblr just to be apart of this fandom!!! It has been months since I've watched it, but I'm still going through fanfics after fanfics trying to fill the hole that this drama has left behind in my heart! There was never a moment where I felt that the story was getting boring or going downhill... Every single person in the entire cast is very handsome and beautiful and this made the drama totally worth it!
The bromance (ROMANCE, FUCK YOU CENSORSHIP!) between the 2 leads was just too much for my poor heart to handle.. The real story is supposed to be a BL but this stupid Chinese Government just can't let us enjoy some romance... Although there weren't any heartwarming hugs and kisses, if you looked closely you would find certain moments between the main leads that's just too precious... The directors and producers have done a wonderful job at canceling the romance with bromance! But the hoe in me needed some romance and I ended up looking for the novel... I read the last few chapters which focused on the love between Wei Wu Xian and Lan Zhan and it's safe to say that it was like a much needed Fanfiction after an amazing drama...
Xiao Zhan who played WWX is sooo beautiful... His smile is everything! And Wang Yi Bo, good Lord! I still can't believe that dork managed to pull of a complex character like Lan Wang Ji! I've truly got not words! The drama has very few female characters but every single woman in this drama was absolutely stunning and they've done justice to their characters! Actually, all the actors have done justice to their characters and the drama! And I've become such a fan of Liu Haikuan and his character Lan Xi Chen, that I am completely bonkers for him! And Jiang Cheng is my favorite character too!

The title of the drama The Untamed is also well suited as the entire story wouldn't have happened if the main lead wasn't untamed! Go Wei Wuxian!!!
Overall it was an amazing journey and I'm glad to have witnessed it.. 10/10

I can't rate a lot of shows a 10 but this show deserves an 11. I absolutely enjoyed it and was completely captivated by it. It is 50 episodes which are all about an hour-long but it is definitely worth the time. I binged watched the shit out of this, can ask my best friend she barely saw me while I watched it. I was so sad when I finished it I wanted the story to continue. I know it is based on books but I never read them so I had no idea what this was about going into it and omg the roller coaster this takes you on. The story was so interesting and the casting was amazing. I love Yibo with all my heart and he did amazing in this. The chemistry between the characters is showstopping, you don't even feel like you are watching a fictional tv show you get so invested. Please watch!!!!!

Meu império romano.

Eu assisti The Untamed em 2020, e desde então minha vida nunca mais foi a mesma.
A série é baseada no romance de Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, Mo Dao Zu Shi, é uma novel chinesa sobre o romance entre Wei Ying e Lan Zhan, é uma história longa, complexa e muito bem escrita, apesar de ainda não ter terminado a novel eu super recomendo.
A série é uma adaptação dessa novel que infelizmente recebeu uma censura gigante da china, tendo que cortar boa parte da história por causa do romance homossexual dos protagonistas, mas apesar disso continua sendo uma série maravilhosa e digna dos melhores dos elogios. Apesar de não ter um dos melhores efeitos especiais os produtores conseguem entregar cenários e figurinos incríveis, que só deixam a história mais emocionante.
Todos os atores se entregaram totalmente ao seu papel e fizeram um trabalho incrível dando vida aos personagens e transmitindo muito bem todas as emoções ao telespectador. Apesar de toda a censura, você consegue perceber o amor entre os personagens pelos olhares, gestos e frases marcantes, o Wang Yibo e o Xiao Zhan tiveram uma química tão boa que nem a censura conseguiu apagar a linda história de amor entre os personagens.
A série contém 50 episódios de pura emoção, que são acompanhados de várias músicas que passam contém toda a energia da série, The Untamed foi o único drama no qual eu não pulei a abertura, você se envolve tanto no drama que em poucos episódios a música de intro te faz cair em lágrimas. Apesar de ser considerada uma grande quantidade de episódios, assim você termina de assistir fica querendo mais e mais episódios, e acaba achando os 50 muito pouco. Assim que terminei esse drama fui imediatamente buscar mais sobre a história, e você acaba consumindo todos os conteúdos sobre esse universo, e mesmo assim fica querendo mais. É uma história tocante que te deixa pensando sobre dias, e mesmo após anos você nunca se cansa.
Cada personagem tem sua história, personalidade e foram muito bem feitos, nós criamos um certo afeto até mesmo por personagens que seriam considerados os vilões da história, mas isso se dá pelo fato de que a história de cada um foi muito bem feita, nós conseguimos entender os sentimentos e os motivos do personagem apenas pela tela. As amizades e situações desse drama são todas muito complexas, e esse é um grande ponto forte do drama, todos os personagens estão ligados de certa forma, e no começo é um pouco confuso de entender mas ao decorrer dos episódios tudo vai se encaixando e fazendo sentido, e mesmo sendo muitos personagens, depois de um tempo você vai aprendendo sobre cada um, e todos tem sua importância na história. Anos vão se passar e não vou me esquecer da sensação que foi assistir a esse drama maravilhoso pela primeira vez.
É até hoje uma das melhores séries que assisti e sempre permanecerá como meu número 1. Essa série me mudou completamente, e acredito que cause esse efeito em qualquer um que assista também.
