I'll just leave this here and won't say anything else for analysis to avoid Spoilers: The Untamed. If there was an Oscar for "Most Heartbreaking & *Realistically* Depicted Sad Characters' Stories (which includes all of the above and more) in the Highest Percentage of Characters (it's practically every single character in it) in a *Fantasy* TV-series/book", The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi should get it! :'(
I have the same question!! Plus, this is a webdrama, not tv drama, and I thought there wasn't a limit for them?…
My theory in general is that they cut what the censorship committee doesn't like for any (nonsensical) reason. I noticed in Renascence they've mainly cut side-characters' scenes, and more specifically, almost all of Kevin Yan's character's scenes (to the point we don't even know who his character is... or he's sent to investigate a group to find their leader, and 2 scenes later they talk about the leader of that group and what did he learn from him, like what? what did I miss? LOL!). So I'm thinking, maybe he did (or didn't do) something to dissatisfy the censors? :( Or maybe there were plot-points/hints of anything they may not like, I don't know...
so they cut out eps from 70 to 30, but why only 30?! i know that they limit tv dramas to have less eps but there…
I have the same question!! Plus, this is a webdrama, not tv drama, and I thought there wasn't a limit for them? Or was it? And even if there is, why is it some dramas able to have 50-60+ ep this year (both webdramas & tv dramas), whereas others cannot? (e.g. TV drama Serenade of Peaceful Joy: 69 ep., Webdrama Love and Redemption: 59 ep.)
Thank you!! I hope you do in the future, if you're still thinking about it; though for now you deserve your hard earned rest after all the projects you took on & the non-stop work for L&R!! (Thank you for all you do!)
Oh thank you!! <3 ChineseDramaFan fancy seeing you here as well, I'm seeing you everywhere lately haha & I'm loving it!! :) (Understandably since there is a drama premiering every other day lately!!)
Can someone who's watched the aired episodes comment on the role of my boy Wang Zhuo Cheng (Jiang Cheng in The Untamed) here? How is he in here, will this give him more opportunities to shine, or is his role mediocre/nothing to look forward to? Thank you in advance!
Actually it's funny when ppl give rating before watching the whole drama /episodes. Ofc in the story there is…
I'm so glad I found another like-minded person, I always complain that people shouldn't even allowed to rate a whole drama if they haven't watched at least 50% of it, but nobody wants to hear it!! I mean, that's why the episodes rating was implemented, if sb wants to check out how an airing drama's rating trends, it's the best way, it even has a graph for falling, rising, etc.!! But most people don't even know about it -- that's why I linked it above!!
Ok I read almost all the harsh comments & I actually agree with more than 50% of them, but surprisingly I still love this drama!!! Lol, am I a masochist? :D Or maybe it's because I read some spoiler-ly synopsis, both for the drama and the novel, so I kinda expected most of that. What I didn't expect was the fluffy romance for the first 10 episodes or so, that I enjoyed more than I should, so afterwards it was more painful from episode 11 onward! And also, I'm sad my theory, that she was pretending the whole way from the start to manipulate all people around her, was wrong, I guess she had actually lost her memories, oh well, at least I'm glad that the stupid amnesia arc is over!!!!
Edit: Also, obviously the Untamed has plenty of sect politics, a great story, and unforgettable characters, but that's xianxia/fantasy, so not sure if you're looking for something like that. Cheers! :)
I really like it, the production quality is high and the acting is great. Definitely worth a watch so far in my…
I actually love this kind of plots, at least in webnovels (I've read 1 or 2 with similar plot, but not this one), but I wasn't sure if the drama will be good, especially because I haven't heard anything about it yet, and because I haven't seen any of the cast in anything else. Heading in now!!!

On other specific recommendations, I personally enjoyed The Flame's Daughter (https://mydramalist.com/21920-liehuo-ruge) and Heavenly Sword Dragon Sabre 2019 (https://mydramalist.com/22656-heavenly-sword-and-dragon-saber), and I'm looking forward to First Sword of Wudang (https://mydramalist.com/27915-first-sword-of-wudang)!
