Yes, I do agree with you, the nuances, that make the whole thing feel differently. Let me run another direct translation for you:
LZ: You treat me as what? (verbatim)
(This is definitely closer to "Who am I to you" than "Who do you take me for?" because "Who do you take me for" feels accusative, whereas "Who am I to you" feels like LZ really wants to know his position in WY's heart.)

The words WY uses for confidant are "zhi ji" meaning "know self" ie . someone who knows deeply about me. I feel soulmate is perhaps the closest in English translation.

For exactly the same reason, the translations for the song lyrics lose out a lot of the deeper underlying feelings of the songs. The English lyrics maybe flowing and may sound beautiful, but the loss of the Chinese characters totally change the feel of the songs.

This is one of my favorite scenes too. Lan Zhan always finds all sort of excuses to approach Wei Ying. He lets his heart carry him and he has no control over his heart. Oh man, I want to cry.

LZ: Who do you take me for?
WY: I had once taken you as the soulmate (confidant) of my life.
LZ: I'm still that (soulmate)
(Deep gazes, love and longing conveyed ......)

The English translation here is good.

Again, the term horror has very different meaning for different people. For example, "Poltergeist" freaked me out. This drama's horror is nothing compared to that. You can say the "horror" here is quite, err, (.....), well, I don't really want to say it out or else get my butt kicked. I can assure you, even demonic, it is beautiful! You'll want to watch it. You'll come back and tell us you're glad that you watch it. :D

Amazing! This is new to me. See, I'm picking up another new thing in The Untamed journey. Whoever that skips this drama doesn't know what they are missing. :)

Yes, I know, I know. When the CQL team was trying to do it subtly, you are giving us the raw stuff (which I love though XD). It's really a "teaser". BTW, how many of those character faces have you got in your Qiankun pounch? :D :D :D

There're tons of Xiao Zhan's videos on Youtube. Search under "Xiao Zhan".

Piggyback scene - one of the cutest scene ..... missing it already. Goal for the day - re-watching that scene. :D

Oops! I'm not shouting. Well, kind of, just a little bit :D

IKR!

Hahahaha! Naughty, naughty!

Yep, completely relate and agree! I saw the videos appearing on my subscribed Youtube Tencent channel, and I thought, "Wow! Hot men." I had no idea who Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo were. Never heard of them. Never watched their dramas. But the visual of them on the video thumbnails was too irresistible - they were too beautiful, too ethereal.

I was also curious with the titles of the drama - the Chinese and English versions don't match. I could understand the English title that hinted there would be a character that didn't abide to rules and I love this type of character. But what was the meaning of the Chinese title, I wondered. I knew there was love as "Chen Qing" means old flame. So I was thinking, "Is this going to be a sad romance?" And I love romance dramas.

Like many viewers, I was confused at the beginning scenes, but as Mo Xuanyu entered the Mo hall and causing all the ruckus, I started to fall in love with that cute character, and everything that followed became history. I watched all the aired episodes (like 10) in one sitting. I was so hooked.

Like what @DogmaticPrincess correctly said, "how such an insignificant decision opened up a whole entire world of awesome". Yes, I feel so blessed that I chanced across this drama, and now it has open my eyes to another world. This experience is truly amazing!

If you need to talk about this drama, we are all ears. This page is my first stop of the day, before my daily news scan and cup of coffee. So, feel free to share your heart out. We all understand. We've all been through what you're experiencing right now. :)

Yeah, I was one of those attracted by the ethereal looks of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying at the very beginning scenes. I thought they were unreal, so beautiful. I don't believe I've ever seen men as beautiful as this pair.

.... and if you miss Wei Ying, try some lotus roots with ribs soup or lotus seeds. Really good not only in taste but great for health. Chinese people love lotus; every part of lotus is edible and healthy. :D

Are you sure it's "后会无期" and not "后会有期"? The latter is a more common term to use.

Because of the censorship they have in China over BL/bromance type of dramas, the production team had to play it very carefully and yet not losing the appeal of the story. That's why everything is very subtle and hidden. They drop hints here and there, especially in the music. One may not pick up everything on the first watch, but after multiple viewings, it's like, "voila!" over and over again. I have watched the drama multiple times, like many of my friends here. We not only love the 2 main characters, we also love the actors because we think they are the most perfect actors to play those roles.

How do you find the music? Both instrumental and vocal? I feel they are the best I've ever heard in a drama. They have a song for each character. I pick up so many details from the songs about the characters which I miss while viewing.

If you're like us, can't get over this drama, do come back to this page and talk to us. We've been in this rabbit hole for more than 2 months since it finished airing. :)

Both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo have agreed to attend.

I totally agree with you on getting some basic information on the discussion section to guide new viewers particularly those who are new to Chinese dramas and the xianxia genre. I think your English is good and you convey your message very clearly. So, please don't second guess yourself.

I love your profile picture. The drawing is so good. And I love your profile message too. So true that "a hundred years of bloody struggles couldn't compare to a moment's enlightenment".

Yes. If you listen to the Wuji song, it also gives a clue at the very last line. They are together to explore the world. Isn't that the sweetest and most beautiful ending?
