the best thing that happened go me

i don't think words can describe how much i love this series. looking at the episode count it does seem a lot but once you're hooked it goes by all too fast.
all though The Untamed was filmed on a low budget, it is absolutely rich in story, acting and music and i don't know if i will ever love two characters as much as i love to two main leads.

i love love love morally grey characters and wei ying is everything i wanted and more. combined with a conservatively raised lan zhan, who starts tolerating wei ying even though it doesn't align with his beliefs = absolute PERFECTION.

it is considered BL (literally based on a BL novel) but the show itself doesn't contain anything that would allure to it due to chinese censorship. STILL!! AGHH you can feel love between wei ying and lan zhan, whether it's romantic or platonic, there is a deep deep love for each other - which is what i liked the most!!

don't get me wrong, i found the story really intriguing. you can hardly do wrong in the mystery/drama/adventure genre and again i liked the plot itself. BUT! the display of love between wei ying and lan zhan without them even as much as holding hand is truly something else.

the dynamic between all characters is something else really. loved the world building is great tooo?? 1000/10

DISCLAIMER: if you're not experienced in watchinf chinese dramas, the names can be confusing and following along can be hard. but if you hold om for like 2-3 episodes, i guarantee it will get easier and you will have the best experience of your life ☺️

basically in the drama they have two names, one "noble"/ formal name and their personal name. there also different clans. so yeah. keep that in mind and happy watching!!
