Being honest
the story its good, the cast its ok too, but i am not into this type of drama. Good action wuxia drama. i rating the story 8, coz its a good drama story. But for cast n music 5, rewatch 1. That's why the score come up low 5. I am just being honest. The story its good, that's it . I don't understand if people don't like my score, if i don't like the music and rewatch again the drama, its my own opinion though. You can score what ever you want, so does mine. Some people like jazz some people don't, some like blues some don't some like rock some don't.. its different taste for everybody. I found out in the others drama, with a high drama rating overall, Still a lot in the reviews score is 4,5,5,5.5 etc, Its a freedom to express their opinion about the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
This review may contain spoilers
After a series of updates, I still feel that Chen Qingling deserves my current four-star evaluation. Originally for Wei Wuenvy of Xiao Zhan, the outside world has heard a lot of voices, but as a strong inclusive fans, it even feels that the current adaptation of many additional plays is logical and rich in the main thread. It's not easy to have the courage to shoot such a theme well. With this intention and perseverance——I want to say, "Chen Qingling" is really fragrant.
Thank you for letting me know Xiao Zhan this summer.

WOW JUST WOW
LITERALLY THE BEST BL CENCORED DRAMA YOU COULD WATCH, I HOPE CHINA REMOVES IT BUT THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. I DEFENITLY RECCOMEND YOU THIS, THEN YOU COULD WATCH WORD OF HONOR TOO. I mean like c'mon china doesn't have much bl related dramas and this one is the best you could find. if you have some good dramas like this plz recommend me some. currently waiting for immortality, eternal faith and winner's king, which are also adaptions from a bl novel. i feel like this is something with alot of interesting plots and all. you would go on a emotional roller coaster while watching this. if you want to you could also read the manga version which has some kiss scenes and also read the novel which has very mature scenes, and i mean like 18+ scenes. especially towards the end. but if you are like me and likes to read like those parts, then its the perfect book for you.Was this review helpful to you?
Watched this because of Lanwangji
This drama is bare able only because of Lan Wangji. The effect was so awful. Totally low budget drama. Skipped all scenes without Lan Zhan, to be honest. The first scene when he walked down the mountain was so memorable, angelic and ethereal.The soundtracks were good. Prefer the story of Heaven Official Blessings.

THE BEST DRAMA!
I have to watch this again all the way through with no stops. The ending is OMG fearsome! Sean Xiao, I love this actor already. He can sing! His smile makes me smile! He is acting skills wow, what can I say? I'm very impressed by this actor. I have to see more of him. I'm trying to get that 10th Favorite Actor in... but it is definitely hard at this time and confusing. I have come across some really good actors who have great chemistry with their characters and cameras'. Wang Yi Bo is true to this character, I will also have to check him out and see what his personality is really like, I love his name. This actor is not just an actor, he sings, and hip-hop dances... he knows. I hope Sean Xiao and Wang Yi Bo remain friends after this. The actor Yu Bing unbelievable actor. The storyline.... is unbelievable! The Visual effects are absolutely amazing! The music fit this Drama with passion, excitement, and more. The rest of the cast also did an amazing job. The ending was a good ending! Thanking everyone that anything to do with this drama series!Was this review helpful to you?

bad cinematography
plot had potential but the cinenmatogrpahy was so badi’m reading the novel now
i’m a big fan of reading manhua/manga/manhwa/light novels/danmeis and just that stuff in general so that is why i was interested in watching the untamed. the positive reviews also made the story seem appealing.
in addition, there were a bunch of high profile actors starring in the drama so i was expecting something incredible. nothing could have prepared me for how bad the cinematography and editing was.
at first, i thought it would only be for the first few episodes and then i thought that maybe i jsut had high expectations considering i had recently finished watching my journey to you (had fantastic cinematography).
however, after talking about it to my friend who also tried watching it, i concluded that the cinematography was jsut bad. i do hope that i can finish watching it one day but if the cinematography remains the same throughout the entirety of the drama, then i would just have to leave it unfinished.

Word of Honor better IMO
To say Lan Zhan was such a boring character is such an understatement. Lucky enough the character Wei Wuxian more than made up for it. Even the villains were good. On further thought Lan Zhan’s brother was always boring. I did read the novel after watching the series and I must admit that Wang Yibo portrayed that character to perfection but I didn’t like the character in the series and that was due to censorship. Because the parts the character came to life couldn’t be shown due to censorship. Overall the series was good.Was this review helpful to you?
The songs are amazing and the relationship of the characters is very well done. The actors, especially the main ones, do everything even better.
Especially Xian Zhan who deserves a lot of recognition for having made such an amazing character and dedicated so much to it, the acting was wonderful!
I highly recommend it! I will probably rewatch the drama many times, ha!

Not as good as hype
This review is done being 100% impartial, without any personal fan-favor spirit. Everyone has different perspectives, we should not judge each other. I am still very respectful to someone who gave this show 10/10.My review is like this maybe because that I watched this show after watching "word of honor". The BL theme got me here afterwards. But honestly, the two main leads hardly have any chemistry developed almost till the end. Its only looked like friendly banter and wei ying was almost clueless that Lanzhan may have BL type feelings for him. Maybe its because of censor board. From wei ying's point of view : he probably felt through the whole series that Lanzhan is a trustworthy reliable honest friend, but as soul mate? nah. Except that hunting episode a very short vague conversation between them was about "soul mate" thing. At least before death, wei ying was not at all in love with Lanzhan, he was same way playful and loyal friend as he was with other close person, as example to JC or Wen qing. In that case, if u think Lanzhan and wei ying as BL partner, I would say that about 85% volume of this drama Weiying had more emotions for his brother jiang C. And in that context, one can think of them to be BL partner, lol. Or may be straight relation ship between weiying and wen qing? Last few episodes, you can sense that Lanzhan has little one sided feelings for weiying and weiying is still clueless about it. Probably wei ying is not a gay at all.
I am also very disappointed about the fact that how others ( not wei ying, of course) not at all give any credits to the Wen siblings, specially JC. When those Wen siblings helped WY and JC and tried to collect their parents dead body, it was a huge sacrifice made from their side. And they initiated this kindness. WY only tried to return that kindness. They went against their clan and risking their own life, thats a huge matter of respect. They are proper hero of this story. Their loyalty, conscious, honesty no way lesser than WY. They save WY more than once. Like in prison also they helped WY to survive against that wild creature. Honestly, WY owe them his life, his family glory. In the same way, when WY blindfolded aim the arrows to the target without hitting any wen people, was a bit cruel side of him. He knows that he wont hit any but think about those people who were kept as targets and they might have never witnessed anyone to throw a bunch of arrows at a time without mistake? Although, WY tried to show sympathy and righteousness toward any normal people, but I really doubt, if he was not in debt of those wen siblings, will he still try to defend them going against his own clan? In that case, its not hard to say that whoever goes first to show kindness and righteousness is the actual one, and that is those wen siblings.
The story plot is very attractive thats why I watched the Anime version too after the drama, and in anime the BL theme is more clearer than this drama version. Chibi anime version was cuter and little more expressive about BL theme. I didnt have chance to read the actual novel yet, probably that is why I didnt feel much chemistry between main leads in the drama. Obviously, if people start this drama with pre-mind set then they can feel chemistry even in friendly banter. The way drama portrayed the emotions between main leads, if u consider that as BL then I think every guy is gay out there in this whole world. And any strong friendship means gay/ lesbian-ship.
I am not at all convinced with the "BL" tag with this drama, rather I would recon is as a drama of good friendship.
About the acting: come on! be honest: many actors could have done Lan zhan's role with almost no dialogue. Other actors are also so-so. What was the challenging role here to play that no other actor cant perform? On the contrary, Chasing by dog: the screaming acting by xiao zhan was looking soooo "fake", unless you are totally blinded by fandom you can't claim it as " funny" either. That was more or less over acting, i would say. The best acting done by is Zhu Zan jin and Meng Zi yi. Others are replaceable. Its sad that Xue yang's story part was presented so little and vague way that it almost lost the major contribution it had.
In several episodes, I felt that story was going very slow and it was at some point boring me out. Some scenes were not very necessary and draggy.
I loved the music, so 10/10. This is personal taste. So I wont judge if someone rate music 1/10.

The cast also very deeply fell into the characters of this drama. AN EXCELLENT ACTING FOR SURE!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING, THE MUSIC! A drama wouldn't be perfect if the music isn't good. But this drama has THE BEST OST FOR SURE! ESPECIALLY WANGXIAN AND YI NAN PING! OMG, I SUDDENLY REMEMBER YANLI. POOR MY HEART :"(
With this drama's addictive effect, you gonna rewatch this a thousands time for sure.
IT'S A PERFECT DRAMA!

First Cd i watched
This is the first CD I have ever watched, it's based on a super spicy BL novel. It lacks the spice of the written story but it's still a good story, while i dislike the editing and CGI its a bit crap imo it looks a bit shit.The story is a 6 out of 10 because when you have read the story this lacks quite a bit of things.
Acting is a solid 8 of 10 because while the story lacks the spice the actors are good at what they do.
Music is amazing as always 10 out of 10
I think it's a solid rewatch for me because i love anything based on the stories of the novel author.
Over all i recommend it but i have my grievances with it as its deviating a lot from the spicy novel
