LOL - I am not a fan of the fan either... It is just so signature Ouyang Feng I just never want the MLs to use…
It was the white robe and the fan that attracted me in the first place. I don't even remember who all these characters (Ouyang Feng etc) are anymore, but Tou's initial appearance did conjure up images of some of my favorite characters. The Tou character development is such a mess that I didn't enjoy his character very much by the middle of the drama.
Yeah, a hedgehog and a run-away groom. Sigh!BTW, did you cry in any of the scenes? I know they're supposed to…
I'm a cry baby too, but I find they (the director etc) have reduced the sadness for me when they injected too many of the repeated dialogues which dampened the pain. It makes the viewers want to fast forward hence not experiencing the effect. Though I didn't fast forward for any of the scenes, I just kept saying, come on, let's move it, or even urging the about-to-die to be dead.

Even at dying, Mu Yuan manages to give a long speech. I was rather amused at that because while his life seems to be slipping away, he comes back and talks (a lot), then his eyes close, he continues to talk, and talk some more. I was like, come on, die, though losing Mu Yuan is one of the anti climax scenes for me.
BTW, did you cry in any of the scenes? I know they're supposed to be sad which would have normally drawn rivers of tears from me, but this time, I just rolled my eyes, not that I have a heart of coal (XD), I just saw through the director's intention and didn't feel any sadness at all.

IKR? It's been almost 1 year for me and many fans here (we watched it while airing so we got to discuss the drama a lot, you can't imagine the fun we had) and we still check on The Untamed page every day, and try to comfort new fans.
Also search for the behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube. These videos really reinforce everything you see about the couple onscreen and also help to fill the void. Watch the concert videos if you haven't seen them.
They also have a manhua (manga). If you check on the original page (The Untamed) at the "Recent Discussions" section, there are links to the manhua and other various interesting videos and links. That's how many of us passed our days until we finally walked out of this rabbit hole :)
I woke up at 5 AM so that I can complete the whole thing before I start work (I must be crazy). Yeah, you guess it - I didn't get 'my' epic scene. What did I get instead? A runaway groom! Heck!
Sigh, the logic is for 3 years old (no intention in humiliating 3 years old).
So by Episode 47, the closest to 'my' scene is Tou has a 'pretend' fight with Mu Yuan and he just 'stands' there with his fan. That's it! And as for Xue Zhi, she jumps up and with one stroke, everyone falls. You're so right earlier when you mentioned about wishing those actors can really 'fight'. I don't even dare to wish them to fight, just some watchable, believable movements would do, and even this little wish they fail to deliver :( What a joke!
How is the rating so high when all of the comments either hate it or are lukewarm? Is it worth the watch?
I just downgraded my rating from 9.0 to 8.5. I may still downgrade further once I complete the drama. Having said that, the only reason I may maintain my rating is because of Luo Yunxi. Despite his extremely thin little body and extremely white ghost-like face, I love his visual. I love how he looks half hiding behind his big fan, with his hair flying and clothing floating. I guess that's about all I like about this drama.
The Pillow Book novel is better than Three Miles of Peach Blossoms novel imho. Although, the drama leaves a lot…
Yeah, I hate watching how they make girls look stupid and lovesick all the time, and care for nothing else but pursue their men all over the place. I feel it's degrading. Don't get me wrong. I love heart wrenching love story but pursuing men like this as if they itch to get laid is absolutely abominable.

If you haven't watched the anime, you MUST! It's super good:
