Indulge this masterpiece - read the novel and manhua, re/watch the animation and live adaptation

I already enjoyed the 50 episode no-cut version of The Untamed even before watching it without reading the novel first. I was so addicted to the story and romance of Wei Ying and Lan Zhan that urged me to start reading the Mo Dao Zu Shi novel. YES! The original flow of story from the novel was the thing that I needed the most, a true definition of masterpiece. Censorship ruins the romance yet the crew behind the live adaptation was awesome and I can still feel that they obviously made the main characters romance showy despite the China’s government forbidding film makers to explicit homosexual love stories.

After finishing the novel version, every scene keeps getting more and more understandable. Yet, some scenes disappoints me because it was different and some major scenes weren’t included but I clearly accepted it since they’re trying to limit the flow of the story because of the censorship. The actors were perfectly casted and played their role naturally. I visualized their faces when reading the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation -official english translation of the novel.

This special edition is the great show to binge-watch when rewatching The Untamed. Since the 50 long episodes were narrowed to 20 episodes that mainly focus on Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian’s story. Their roller coaster journey was so lovely. This is the best historical-fantasy story I’ve ever seen! No one can beat how majestic it is.

The audio, OSTs, background music and all other execution of musical plays was once again a perfect score. I listen to The Untamed playlist every now and then, this makes me feel like I also belonged to their cultivation world. The costumes, props, design, and venue of events was accurately carried out. The Computer Graphics and editing of their cultivation powers was fine as well.

To put it simple, everything about The Untamed was perfectly done. If you want to know more about the story, I recommend you to read the novel version since you can see how different it is from other versions of the story.

Let’s all live like Lan Zhan and Wei Ying, existing with a purpose. Always be kind since kindness is the root of human nature, treat others how they treat you, keep your loved ones by your side, and the most important thing is as we live, don’t forget to live your life being true to yourself as long as it makes you happy and secure.

Thank you to everyone who makes the characters come alive.
