momo

Not me, I can't affort to hold my tears each time I hear my ringtone ><

I kinda feel that's the reason why all other BL dramas were banned afer TU... As if they realized how much they fucked up with this one

If you are the type of person who can convince themselves that the MLs are friends and roommates, then I guess you can watch it. But otherwise, saying that this has a hint of a romance is an understatement - it has tons of romance, just very subtle. But it's the kind of drama where we don't need a kiss to see that there are sparks flying.

Yes, of course you are right, I might have worded it too harshly there haha. But I feel like even LWJ felt that he didn't show WWX enough support back in those days, so when WWX comes back, LWJ with no hesitation says I BELIEVE YOU repeatedly hahaha

Oh, for sure, especially during the rewatch, as I already knew what was gonna happen, it was so painful watching those episodes... even watching WWX happy in the Burial Mounds was devestating, knowing what is ahead. At least after episode 33 we finally get some more happy scenes of him and LWJ...

Yes, I started enjoying it right around eps 14-15. Before, I was overwhalmed with the names, the characters and so on. It gets the best after WWX changes into a demonic cultivator.

I have to admit, that when I was watching The Untamed for the first time, I thought that Yanli's character is kinda bland and boring. Especially compared to the myriad of other, flawed and outgoing characters. But now, during my rewatch, I really have to admit that I was wrong. She's such a courageous character, even though she's lacking in her cultivation and the physical acpect. Never lets anyone down and always gives them benefit of the doubt. She's the true backbone of WWX, when everyone doubted him in some way or another, even LZ. Never treats either of her brothers better. Never puts unreasonable pressure on anyone, even though we know how tragic her life is and how hard it is for her. A true fighter. She has my full respect.

I kinda get the split, I think it really hyped up dramas like the Glory, or series like Stranger Things. It's just that I kinda don't see the hype growing overtime with a melodrama or a slice of life. With the Glory we were all waiting desperately for the revenge arc. And here I feel like the hype is just going to die down. So I really hope that part one and two aren't more than a month apart. Or I just wish they did a typical weekly schedule.

True. He's pretty good at the roles he chooses. Nothing extraordinary, but does his job well.

Imo the screenwriter had a few novel ideas, but the producer just went "wait- we can't show that on kTV" and they had to butcher the hell out of it, even if the initial premise was left there. I feel the sexual innuendos were treated the same way - like, the characters talk about sex pretty openly, we (almost) see erotic toys, but when they get to it, we barely see any action? Like, not that I'm waiting for something really explicit in a kdrama, but many dramas do show a bit more than that. At least let them have a talk about it afterwards, let the FL banter with ML in her usual manner if the ML was really a virgin or not...

"a lot of man" -> 3 is a lot? XD damn, women just cannot win

It's reted 16 in Poland, maybe it depends on a country?

I suddenly remembered this year's Wedding Impossible, and realized that NGNL is exactly what I thought WI would be after first few episodes. It was cliche, but there was an incredible chemistry between the leads and it had a lot of out of the box funny moments. Sadly, the second half of that drama was disappointing to say the least. But NGNL is really holding up! I agree a bit with the sentiment that the main couple's relationship could have started with more of a bang, but I'm not mad about their approach either. I hope the next episodes are gonna be filled with a lot of fluff, and that the FL will check if the ML brings her no loss in the bed as well XD

That's why JMD wasn't on the list I guess, she's well-known for being a musical performer first and foremost

I feel more and more that this drama was written for 12 eps, and at one point or another they decided to make it longer. All of the below:
1. The murder case & everything tied to it
2. Starting own company
3. Romance plots (including the ONS)
feel like an afterthought. They aren't necessarily 100% bad, but just feel like a different show somehow - a really long epilogue?

Seriously? I feel that they continuously release thrillers / action, and that's it. No romcom, no comedy, or anything else

Yeah, mostly pathetic hahah. Tho I feel sorry for his wife, she's cool

Same, it suited his character so much

Ok, so I know that the FL does not want to be at a loss... but it's high time that she starts givin something to ML in return! he's been nothing but great to her!

I'm still mourning the hair tho. They gave a lot of character to the ML.

I am plannimg my rewatch too. When I was watching it for the first time, I actually had The Untamed wiki opened just to check what's going on >< I hope I'll understand more now haha
