Well, some people are really really against same gender relationship. As far as I'm concerned, this type of relationship is natural and harms no one. Why do we want to condemn it?

Yay!

I guess this would pass eventually when the actors have new dramas, associating with different actors/actresses. The Untamed is now so hot world over that everyone is talking about them. So I guess it's unavoidable. Maybe the hosts do it just because everyone enjoys their relationship so much, and they (the hosts) are not consciously trying to undermining them.

It finally dawns on me that the song "Wu Ju" (The Untamed) sung by Xiao Zhan and Wang YiBo at the end, is supposedly composed by Lan Zhan for Wei Yi (Wei Yi keeps asking Lan Zhan for the name of this song). The lyrics describe Wei Yi and the last 2 lines indicate that they should travel the world and experience everything together. OMG! This epiphany is so satisfying!

If you watch game shows and talk shows where both Xiao Zhan and Wang YiBo are invited, you'd see, they are being teased over and over again for being, erh, 'gay' or insinuating that they are. They (the hosts) make them do stuff as couple, wanting to portray them as gay couple. I don't know this is good or not, though, sometimes it can be funny to see their reaction, but at the same time, stigmatizing them.

Hahaha, indeed, you're funny!

... and also the last episode at the lake/waterfall where LZ plays the qin and WY plays the flute. The visual is heavenly!

After this drama broke so many hearts, the production company decided to put up a modern day version of the couple to heal our mushy hearts. Watch the videos if you haven't yet. Maybe they could help you heal. Then move on to "The Untamed". You'd feel much better.

Here're the links to the modern day videos:
Ep 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CJ6j7hp1P0
Ep 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrlMbjJWu5s
Ep 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ_kaKBNS8E
Ep 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qz8i1QA6yU

BTW, if you do't like the beginning episode (The Untamed) so much, skip to the end of episode 2. Do this so that you don't drop it too soon.

No, not just you. Same here. However, I'm into "The Untamed" now. Absolutely love it especially the OSTs. Check it out if you haven't yet.

To tell the truth, I'm hooked to the visual and the music first before the actual drama. Those two are just so beautiful together and the music is so calming played by the flute and guqin.

I don't think WY is mad at LZ. I think it's because LZ thinks WY has adopted an evil path and he's worried that he (WY) may become demonic. He keeps asking WY to turn back to the bright path and use back his sword again, but how can he because he doesn't have a golden core anymore (for cultivators, it's important to have a golden core to carry a sword). But nobody knows about this fact. Everyone just assumes WY has turned evil. Instead of explaining the real reason to LZ (which he can't), he tells LZ not to interfere with his choice.

ahh.. don't get me started. I'll be going on and on until you get fed up with me. Yes, there are so many scenes I love, including all those you listed.

1. Gusu Lan Sect leader throws stuff at WY because he gave him unacceptable answers.
2. WY sticks a drawn tortoise on the teacher's backside.
3. WY draws a portrait of LZ, and adds a flower on his ear.
4. WY is punished after having a fight with Jin Zi Xuan. From his back, LZ thinks WY is sobbing, but when he gets to his front, he finds WY playing with ants.

WY is simply adorable.

ok. This is part 1 of many parts to come :)

Depends, some like it a lot, some don't. There're no boy-girl romances like in AOL and TMOPB. But the story is good and the characters are inspiring. The relationship between the characters is sweet and heart-warming. It's supposed to be a bromance or BL but no explicit scenes. They just googoo eye each other and I love this googoo eyeness (hope you know what I mean). There could be a few holes here and there, but overall the acting is good. If you don't like the beginning or get confused by the beginning episodes, skip to the end of episode 2. Then come back to episode 1 after episode 33. I don't normally watch bromances, but I love this one.

You've captured everything exactly how I understand this drama. It's my all time favorite. Until today, I still come back to this forum to talk to people who love this drama as much as I do. The music is beautiful too. It's so hard for me to move on to another drama. Wonder if it is the same with you. Have you watched "The Untamed"? If not, you may want to check it out.

To answer your questions, I don't think XF was pregnant but when LCY grabbed her, I'm not quite sure if she was violated against her will. The drama didn't show it clearly. I believe XF lived in the palace for 2 years, if I remember correctly.

Happy drama watching!

I can feel that Lan Zhan feels for Wei Ying and vice versa after their first meeting even though they fight and argue all the time, probably to hide their feelings and fondness for each other, especially for Lan Zhan. Wei Ying is more open about his feelings.

Agree, they are special to each other and they don't treat others this way. They have total trust in each other and they care for each other deeply. Well, if it is romance, bromance, or BL, so be it. It's simply a beautiful relationship.

Yep! My all time favorite!

Yes, your comment about your profile pix is hilarious. Hahaha!

I know nothing about bromance nor BL, but if what Wei Ying and Lan Zhan share is being called such, then so be it. In fact, I like it. I wish we have more caring relationship like that among friends, family, co-workers, students and so on.

I don't know, I've not read the novel (starting to read it now), but I feel they're kind of attracted to each other from the very beginning when they first met. Even though Lan Zhan was cold to Wei Ying, he was, like, swept away by Wei Ying's unconventional personality and his affinity to flout the rules. Lan Zhan is rigid and duty-bound, whereas Wei Ying is care-free and finds enjoyment in everything, even in the most dire situation (like he found some ants to play with when he was being punished). For Lan Zhan, he was always obedient and Wei Ying was always mischievous. And the give-away is, Lan Zhan seems to appear wherever Wei Ying is (like in the beginning of their meeting, he was waiting for Wei Ying to return and found him drinking on the roof top). He seems to enjoy listening to Wei Ying's outrageous ideas. This kind of opposite trait always attracts each other strongly.
