There's supposed to be no spoilers, so I'll just share my feelings right at this moment. And will write a review after finishing the drama.

I found my all-time favorite Chinese drama. OK... It stands on the second or third place among Chinese dramas, but the others top it for different reasons.

'The untamed' has an amazing plot. I like every bit of it. The storyline is so well thought out, what is mistery is that for a reason. And everything has a logical or philosophical reason. You can think it through and figure it out.

Totally badass cast. Like, attractive. Over the top. Ok, you know when you want to decide if the drama is ok to watch...? When the plot is okay, but not too inviting, and the acting is okay, but not the best and you have an inclining that maybe this isn't your drama... Well, this would be my drama to watch even if the storyline would suck and the acting would be really bad. Because the actors are freaking attractive. That's what I mean :D

I think here is one of the best acting I've ever witnessed in Chinese dramas. The emotional turmoil they attempt to show is paying off big time. There are great Chinese actors, who act awesome, no doubt about it. But as acting in a collective state of mind, I like this almost as much as I do my top favorite dramas. They not only act well together, but the actors leave you with a feeling that if one of them was missing, everyone else would do as well and no hole is to be felt... Usually, when I watch a drama I feel like.. if that particular actor would leave the set, then the others would not be enough to fill the script, to play it out... And if I take the main actors as a whole, this cast does not make me feel that way.

And the 'bromance' part of the story.
The two main characters, I think I will want to write them a fanfic.. not gay-themed... They have such amazing chemistry... I want to act on that... The thing what pulled me to this drama was the eyes. The two actors eyes on the poster. Not the plot description, not how handsome they were, nothing of sorts. The eyes. They have amazingly intense eyes. I think I will probably move them very up in my Chinese actors list.. maybe 3-4th place...? So the bromance I felt from their gaze. It feels mesmerizing, and fond and kind, and worried and hopeful and pleading... like everything all at the same time. I would probably be the best person in the world if I had this kind of friend beside me.

Forgive my emotional review. I can't make it shorter and everyone has a right not to read this. I just wanted to share my emotions of this drama with more people, than there are in this cafe, I just finished 26th ep in. As I'm sitting here I have to hold my mouth shut forcefully to not scream or laugh or cry... Well, I did cry already... but it's acceptable when you shed a few tears in public, but they will probably freak when I laugh out loud right now or thrill a loud shriek :D My mind is bubbly.. And I'm glad there is this place like this awesome page like 'Mydramalist' where I can enter this kind of reviews too :)

Hope many of you share my sentiment.
