Heartbreaking yet still awesome storyline

I have watched and rewatched many dramas before, but this is actually the first drama I fell deeply in love with.

I did not expect myself to fall deeply into this dark hole known as "The Untamed" as I was actually spooked by the 1st ep (not a fan of horror/gore). I'm glad I persevered and now I'm still deep down in "The Untamed's" dark hole haha. So far, I have watched the drama 3 times, Special Edition once, currently on my 4th watch and reading the Novel.

As I have not read the novel before, the unexpected and intriguing storyline managed to capture my attention quick.

Points I love about the drama
- Storyline : The drama felt like an emotional rollercoaster and multiple scenes made me cry buckets of tears and broke my heart... :'(
- OST : "Unrestrained" was on repeat mode for about 6 months or so. ? I love it so much!!! I also have to comment on the beautiful instrumental OST which made the drama even better than it already is. Majority of the character songs are also pretty well done. I like Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Xue Yang's character songs the most.
- Sets/Scenery : The sets are all so pretty and/or majestic, especially Lian Hua Wu (Lotus pier?), Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu (Cloud Recesses?) and Jin Ling Tai (Golden Koi Tower?).

The only odd point for me is how some of the CG effects look a bit too fake haha. However, I understood why after finishing the drama, it was because they did not have much budget.

Just my own random thought : I accidentally saw 2 spoilers about the last few eps on Weibo while I was still on the first lap of my first watch, I really wish I can wipe away my memory and watch the drama again, just to experience what all my other friends did (shock, sadness, happiness). ?

I'm not very good with words, so I can only recommend everyone who has yet to watch or considering whether to watch, to give this show a shot. This is the first drama that stuck with me so deeply, and I hope more people will come to know it too. :)
