This is seriously a must-watch movie!
STORY was a bit rushed. It was not a surprise there since the Original Drama has 50 episodes. It's amazing how they were able to cut it down to just 20! But still, the timeline here was more organized. It helped me understand some confusing parts of the Original Drama. Although, I couldn't say this Special Edition is focusing mainly on WWX and LWJ. Because they still edited some scenes that (for me) were really important in their (WWX & LWJ's) character development and scenes that made them grow closer to each other.
ACTING/CAST was superb! I couldn't get over how each actor played their roles. You can seriously see the difference between Xiao Zhan's acting before his golden core was transferred and after it was transferred. The shift gave me goosebumps! Wang Yibo's subtle acting is highly commendable as well. His eyes are so expressive. Totally fits LWJ's aura XD
MUSIC. Period. I don't have anything more to say. Chef's kiss! Wu Ji is on repeat in my mind. Help me. XD
I am definitely rewatching this. But I'm on the fence about whether to rewatch the Original Drama or this Special Edition. I'm spending hours on YT watching behind-the-scenes clips of The Untamed. Finished the anime and novel already. Now, I'm reading the manhua. I guess it'll be a never-ending cycle after getting hooked on this gem!
