Take a Bow Sean Xiao and Wang Yibo for the Splendid Performance in Untamed
I absolutely LOVE this show.... I was quite stunned that I managed to watch 50 episodes of this drama. Usually 20 episodes in the maximum I can endure. And usually I watch Kdrama and I would definitely avoid any Kdrama which has over 24 episodes. But Untamed is exhilarating to watch. Sean Xiao as Wei Wuxian (WWX) and Wang Yibo as Lan Wangji (LWJ) are perfect. Whoever did the casting, did an excellent job, every actor they chose was perfect for their role.
I read the novel after I finished watching the drama series on Netflix. There are several deviations and understandably, because of the censorship restrictions in the country they filmed in, they couldn't show any BL scenes from the book. But Sean Xiao and Wang Yibo did a wonderful job showing the bond and love they have for each other without breaching any of these restrictions. Kudos to the director and the 2 actors and the writer who adapted the book to the screen.
I cannot stop gushing over how well everyone in this show acted their respective roles. The storyline is fabulous, there is no boring part in this show and it stayed true to the novel with a few deviations.... I am glad I watched the show first before reading the book because I could visualise every actor when I was reading the book. Now that I have finished reading the book, I will rewatch the entire 50 episodes again - it would be better the 2nd time because I now know what everyone is feeling and thinking!
I highly recommend watching this fabulous show. The actors are fantastic. The cinematography is great. The film set and the costumes are fabulous. The plot is gripping and highly engaging. It is one of those rare shows that I watch and feel fully satisfied after watching it. Sean Xiao and Wang Yibo gave a very touching and poignant performance when they showed in their subtle way how much they cared for each other.... It made me cry to watch that and my friends also told me that they too cried when they watched these 2 actors together. Their portrayal of WWX and LWJ was absolutely stunning. I cannot think of anyone else who could play these roles as perfectly as these 2 actors. Well done everyone!
