Great Xiao Zhan / Wang Yibo Condensed Version of the Original Series

Having watched the original 50 episode series on Netflix , I really enjoyed this condensed version. The episodes are 60min long versus 45min in the original. I am not sure how Tencent landed on 20 episodes but they cut about 17.5 hours out which is apparent from the cuts between scenes. If you haven't watched the full length version, it might not be as obvious. While it's still a censored series, this version feels like a real BL series (even with the deletion of the final scene) because it focuses entirely on the two male characters Lan Zhan and Wei Ying and their relationship. This special edition will be my go - to for rewatching The Untamed. My only complaint is that the Tencent English sub for this special edition is nowhere as good as Netflix's for the full length series which is why I only gave this series a score of 9.
