Amazing Drama !

One of the best dramas I've ever watched. It made me discover Zhang Ruo Yun who is very talented. That was the first drama I watched with him in it and it felt like I've always known him. I loved the plot and I'm eager to see how the next season is gonna be like.

My favorite character was Li Cheng Ze, the second prince. His personality did it all for me. I loved the fact that he was likeable but annoying at the same time. Like I really wanted to both hug and slap him, yet, I couldn't explain this feeling. Talking about princes, I hope they develop the crown prince more in the next season : he's like THE CROWN PRINCE so I feel like we should know more about his story.

The emperor of Qing, Fan Jian, Chen Ping Ping and Fei Jie were just WOW ! They really carried a big part of the drama and the chosen actors were just excellent. I absolutely loved that each one of them had a unique type of relationship with Fan Xian with their very own hopes and projects for him.

The only thing that bothered me (might be an unpopular opinion or me being weird lol) was the romance between Wan'er and Fan Xian : it ANNOYED me ! Like I'm sorry but I was shipping Fan Xian more with any other female character of the drama BUT Wan'er. It just wasn't it for me. I felt like Fan Xian needed (and looked better with) a woman like Duo Duo by his side but that's just me and this detail didn't ruin the whole drama for me anyway.

Yan Bing Yun really intrigued me from the very moment he got introduced in the drama. When we finally got to see him, I found him really... "bland" ? Not in a bad way but more in a mysterious way. It felt like it was intentional that his character was written like this and with the end of the drama, I have even more questions about him and can't wait for the second season to answer them. I hope we'll be able to see more of the acting skills Xiao Zhan showed in the Untamed.

Anyway, all of this to say that I recommend this drama eyes freaking closed with cement (I'm sorry...).
