ShortCircuit

Go watch Study Group 'cause Kim Min (Pasin) has a guest role there (ep. 4 if you just want him, but the drama is pretty good on itself, already :) )

OMG Pasin!!!! Pasin is here.

... Wait is Pasin a bad guy LOL?!

.... Nevermind, GaMin has had enough hahaha~

ETA Lee Jun sends such Sanosuke vibes with that hairdo and that flag :D

They're three different books, with different characters :D

MDZS is the one most adapted - there's the novel, the audio drama, the donghua (three seasons, it's complete), the chibi donghua (MDZS Q). And obviously the drama.

The other two of her novels only have donghua adaptations (SVSSS one season in, not finished, TGCF two seasons in, not finished) and I think there are audio dramas too.

I HIGHLY recommend reading the books (or at least MDZS) because the drama, the donghua and the audio drama are all censored (the audio drama the least of all) and there are way more interractions between the leads than what is shown in either adaptation. And because they're really sweet together (when WWX isn't dumb LOL). And because of the extras :D

The books (all three different novels, LOL) have all been officially TLed into English, and there's still the fan TL somewhere floating around the internet, I'm sure.

MDZS is Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation :)

The author (Mo Xiang Tong Xu, shortened to MXTX) only wrote three books so far - MDZS, on which The Untamed is based, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (SVSSS) and Heaven Official's Blessing (HOB or TGCF). They're all great - and so are a lot of other danmei novels :)

The books are all officially TLed (in ebook and on paper, they all look amazing, but they're a bit pricey and there are a lot of volumes. Let me know if you're in need of some help ;)

That bird was everyone's favourite joke target. What is it exactly? Is it an owl? Is it an eagle? Is it a crow? It's.... (whateverthehellthatwas) Bird!! :D

Myself, I love the actual hidden puppeteer in the later parts (won't spoil who). He is the very best gray-hero-definitely-not-really-cool manipulator xianxia ever saw :)

(Also, the part where LWJ raises kids among the bunnies is not made up, LOL. And the bunnies DO interract a lot more in the chibi donghua MDZS Q, but then they're animated so it can be done :D)

Oh-ho... you're nearing the point of no return and seem to like it enough. Enjoy the journey, it's (very probably) going to break your heart.... then mend it again :D

They didn't LOL, it was a joke. HE did nod to them as he was leaving, so that counts though :D

Both are main characters, so in dramas you'd shorten it to MC. But in danmei, usually the gong (seme/top) would be called ML, and the shou (uke/bottom) would be called MC. They're just most-used references, so that people easily identify their roles, if they're so differentiated. I guess at least for danmei, it transferred to drama too.

There are some novels where the leads switch, but most of the time, since authors are mainly women, there's a clear separation and it matters who's gong and who's shou because of the tropes (particularly in historical danmei).

Where do you think all those white bunnies waving goodbye to LWJ came from? They're all from the cave, he takes care of them - and later he'll raise kids between bunnies LOL - and he likes everything bunny (this isn't going to be the only bunny depiction that WWX finds and BRINGS to LWJ to show, LOL. Poor LWJ must suffer in silence because WWX is so dumb about these things :D )

(There's a hilarious BTS where Xiao Zhan is cuddling the bunnies and being a LOT more gentle with them than WWX, and one of them drops a gift in Wang YiBo's hands while he's handling the bunny, LOL. The rabbits must've loved WWX in secret :D WYB didn't even seem mad at all about it.)

This is their Saint Protector, LOL, and the protector of everyone in danmei: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu%27er_Shen

The rabbits and the cut-sleeve moments come a lot in novels - AND dramas, LOL - and yeah, they're kind of in-your-face in spite of censorship :)

What's the word of mouth? Was it released in China already?

Please don't be a knock-off of Descendants of the Sun, please don't be a knock-off of Descendants of the Sun...

I almost didn't go on because of the first four minutes with that empty but perfect highway in the desert and then suddenly a full-blown war-zone in the city that somehow appeared on that highway, LOL. But one takes everything with a big grain of salt.

As usual in a drama about doctors, most of them appear to live in the hospital (almost no home scenes at all), most don't have any family (none of them call home to tell people they're late or not coming over), or if they do, their family gets to use the hospital due to accidents or illnesses etc. All of their relationships (as in, friendship or enmity) are with other medical staff, LOL, all their romances are with other hospital staff... And obviously they're working 24x7, barely catching a few minutes of sleep here and there.

Dramas about doctors are meant to scare off med students, LOL.

I haven't read it yet, (because Priest). SO FAR, my favourite characters in danmei are Chu WanNing (from 2ha), Wei WuXian (obviously), Shen QingQiu (from SVSSS), Shen ZeChuan (from QJJ), Bai Lang (from Rebirth of a Movie Star) and Wu XingZi (from You've Got Mail). And there are many others, but these above all others. And I have many more stories to still read, some of them well-known titles :D

Ah, the saga of epic Jiang Cheng side-eye rolls, LOL. He is SO fed-up with WWX's antics.

And on the other side of the fence, Lan XiChen is reading LWJ's mind and tempting him with our hero being a total come-get-me... errr, I mean being so unscholarly and fun. WWX was born to annoy people.

There are quite a lot of youtube selections of JC's eyerolls caused by WWX, once you're done, you could look them up, they're hilarious :D

PS You do know the significance of bunnies in danmei, right?... And why it's so funny that LWJ LOVES bunnies and WWX is completely oblivious to it? :D

Well, that's called taking your ball and running away with it, what're you gonna do, chase me? :D

I know you're not supporting her "redemption, what redemption" arc, LOL, I was just ranting because I just finished this mess. But now it's over, I can let go and try to forget I even watched this, which I hope on everyone who forced through. We should all go find new, better stories. Peace, out.

I know. I'm venting, sorry. I am not replying to you, just talking at the internet, LOL.

ETA The very BEST thing about this drama is that it is now OVER. Phew.

No.

A whole clinic of them.

WHAT redemption arc?! She took a few years' of vacation. Abandoning her family, from senile mother to troubled son, all in the same mess. That side story didn't go anywhere. And the husband presumably paid back the loan he took in HER interest. Also another pointless plot device.

The MC's suicidal ideations went away because they took him to see the ocean once. The selective mutism went away because the kids who said he was a bully got him a cake and took big smiley pictures with him. Then he went and got a blow-out career and all was fine out of the blue.

And the frenemy became bestie with the husband who is now deciding kids' futures by staring in their eyes. For reasons.

And the other JinWoo was in highschool two years ago but now he teaches painting out of the sudden. Because of reasons.

And Chris went in and out of the prison with his hair still stylishly cut. They do that in prison (we won't talk about how he dealt drugs in the club but he's out in two years. Because that happens in South Korea).

I should've not wasted 12 hours on this. Too bad for the new actors.

As for the production team and older cast - take that vacation but this time for real. Make it about 10 years, please, and thanks.

They put a big velvet ribbon over the whole hot mess and called it a day, the end.

This drama. I am so sorry for all the young cast actors who did their best. All for nothing.

I can't even
