ok.. this was irritating me.. so i was thinking who bright reminds me of..becuase he does look familiar and i realize his looks/appeal is similar to the male lead in After (young voldemort)

anyway..since he has a girlfriend.. gonna keep away from fangirling him .. support the actor and his craft..but no fangirling :(

what!!!! untamed is worth it.. ashes of love is worth it.. so many chinese dramas are worth it
for that matter i actually dropped pillow.. its good but couldn't hold my attention

Plz share the link to the novel

don't think its cowardly to not stray from original book.. if you had to stray , might as well make a new drama then why do they need to use the name of the book - to pull fans and for commercials? - which would be selfish and such a corporate move

adaptation has to remain true to the storyline and major character motivations.. even established series such as agatha christie's remakes stick to what it was.. or sherlock ( which has inspired some of the biggest adaptations both in terms of novels and live actions..even there the core semblance of relationships between characters is maintained)

i'd say cultural because it is not BL thing..you find that in straight dramas too..and then the whole existence of slap kiss genre

PM plz

where to read in english?

It appears that your only exposure to this story is the drama UNTAMED..
but if you really want to enjoy a good piece of writing, read the novel..

MDZS is a huge fandom.. and the novel does warrant this.. it broke stereotypes at so many level and this drama does too..
While you may compare it with fantasy and may find things not appealing.. but drama has also contributed in its own way to a lot of other aspects of society.. 1) treatment of danmei IN China 2) Adaptation 3) quality content even if budget is low

and lastly, as with any adaptation - those who go into watching drama/movie after being aware of original content.. will obviously perceive way more than a new viewer (in terms of layering of characters and scenes) (take LoR or Harry potter world for example)

ha ha.. and there is me.. who really tried hard but was so god damn bored of guardian.. couldn't survive 10 episodes..

Untamed gains momentum at ep 13-14.. and better still you should read the novel so that you can understand the hints and hidden clues and clever workarounds

plus this story is so much more than romance.. it has solid character building and hence the huge fandom

you sure? yu bin calls XZ ge ge in some bts video

in essence.. not scene by scene

romance picks up or becomes obvious in ep 13 onwards.. for most people the drama clicked at ep 14

Don't you give an expresssion when you remember something nice ..

he thought he heard his voice/ echo.. and smiled remembering that - "Wei yeing" in LZ's voice..

See offscreen i don't deny WY and LZ keep in touch.. and the doors are always open for both Gusu sect and his original home.. and the other two clans too (because NHS is a freind and JL is now the leader of the 4th sect) .. and then there is WY and LSZ..

but still.. being there traveling like XXC and SL , the way WY wanted.. :P not so sure

lol.. no author made sure ONE person is ALWAYS RIGHT :P
no wonder he is the light bearing sword :P

You don't know if he returned.. it could be an echo.. him remembering something
it is a stupid ending.. meaningful ending would have been, when LZ went his separate way and heard wuji being played.. he could have stopped and turned around

plus.. i honestly don't get it.. he is again left all alone.. has no home, no money, no friends, no family

I am pointing out fallacy in your logic.. you look down upon JGY because he is born out of wedlock.. there are so many born out of wedlock.. technically JL is too, Mo is too..

alll is moot point

Exactly what i said

if at episode 43, people don't know who JL's maternal and paternal side is then it is their problem.. this is not spoilery content

Do you know how many were born out of wedlock :P
like 1 seme fertilized every month.. or every week
