I am so happy that i finally decided to to watch this show, I have wanted to for a while now however, due to all the hype I had very high expectations and I was worried that there was no way I show could meet these expectations so I put off watching the show for a while. However, I finally watched the show and I can say not only was I not disappointed but this show blow my expectations out of the water in every possible way. The story was amazing I was glued to seat and just could not stop watching.
While the show is a lengthy 50 episodes it never felt like any of it was fuller or like the story was dragging at any point. The show takes you on a journey with these characters and it really develops them very well over the long length of time the show is set over. Speaking of characters I absolutely feel in love with all these characters. It was that perfect combination of good consistent writing, perfect casting, and great acting that creating one of those shows that will be remembered and live on. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo both really carry this show. Even though they had to get rid of the BL aspect of the story, they both still had a chemistry that really came through. Xiao Zhan really brings a lot of heart to this series and I dare anyone to not fall in love with him after watching this series. Wang Yibo really impressed me in this show. He is able portray so many emotions through the subtle changes while still maintaining his stoic expressions and not having many lines. The supporting cast is also absolutely incredible. This show also had some incredible villains. They stuck that right balance of evil and sad that made me want to stab them and give them a hug at the same time, especially Xue Yang. There are to many of them to talk about individually but really just know that there was no bad one in the bunch and I was extremely impressed with everyone.
The ost was beautiful and fit the show perfectly. The instrumental pieces really set a nice mood and always fit the action that was happening on screen. Also the main song from the ost is amazing I love it and have not stopped listening to it since i started watching this show.
Overall, this was just an absolute delight of a drama to watch an emotional roll coaster. With all that dramas that come out per year it's easy to watch them and then let go and never give them much thought again. The Untamed is different this is a show that leaves in impact that you remember it. You remember the world, the story, and the amazing characters and you want to revisit it. It's a show that leaves you wanted more and just wanting to go back and watch it over and over and over again.
