taecyeon playing a crazy CEO serial killer pretending to be a naïve lawyer is by far the best part of the show but I literally hated everything else. Vincenzo is a self impressed self righteous sum bag with thinks he's hot shit when he's just as bad as the villain's and not even half as fun. does terrible shit and facing no consequences for his actions and is honestly rewarded for all the bad things he does. the female leads and the tenants of the apartment building are all in a different show. the tine is all over the place. not fun the only thing I cared about was taecyeon and anything he was doing he's the only reason this was not dropped

This is by far my favorite Korean historical dram I've ever seen i love the balance between the romance and the conspiracy. the political intrigue was interesting and it went in a lot of interesting directions. Eunwoo got to play a different character to what i usually see him doing. Glad to see him show a little bit of range . This is a show that could have been a very basic love story and that is what I was expecting but it took it's concept a different direction and elevated it's story to something truly special and I loved every second of it. None of the characters are basic they all have motivations and you can see why they do the things they do. It know where to add humor and where to be serious and for Korean drama that is always a plus.

I was actually very excited to watch this show. Reading the descriptions and seeing how other had rated this show I was expecting an at least pretty decent show. That however is not what happened. Honestly, I thought about dropping this show about half way through, the only thing that kept me watching was the hope that the plot or the characters would get better as it went on but that did not happen.

This show starts very strong. Main male lead gets into an accident and meets a tribe where the female lead lives. This section of the story is actually very good. I like the dynamic of this couple and the story line is interesting. Where the show really takes a turn is when the leads go into the city and the real plot starts. There are two main issues with this shoe. The first is that the plot is convoluted and did not keep my attention . The second issue is the biggest problem with this show. I cannot stand this female lead. She is the stereotypical fish out of water, wild girl who has to learn to adapt to the big city and modern life and this is fine for a few episodes but after about 15 episodes of this it gets old. She is this childlike ultra naive girl who does not understand the basics of the world and must be protected at all costs. She is the type of character who's childlike and naive nature is seen as the right way to be and thus this character does not grow or change in anyway. She is perfect and it's everyone else around her that has to chance both to accommodate her and to fit more into her worldview . Now I've seen these kinds of character before and they haven't been as big an issue for me this issue with this FML is that she is just so annoying. While the other characters in the show aren't bad they don't have the charm or charisma to make us for this FML

I was extremely excited for this show when it was announced. As a BL fan, I was excited that Korea was producing a BL drama and this show did not disappoint. This show is a beautiful love story between these two characters and it was heartwarming and heartbreaking to watch. The skin ship scenes were very well done and showed a lot of chemistry between these two actors. The plot is very simple. Two friends who have been pinning after each other for some time finally start to realize and work though their feeling for one another and I think that for a short show like this a simple plot was a good decision. Simple plots allow for the story to fully told and to focus on the emotions.

I am very happy to see Korea producing more LGBTQ drama and I hope this is a trend that continues cause if they are of this quality they will be spectacular

This was one of the most fun shows that I have seen this year. The story is quite a basic episodic murder mystery show nothing really new is added to the genre but what it does do it does very well. I like to describe it as Sherlock meets Murder She Wrote meets Scooby Doo. What the story does really well is that while it is basic it has very little fuller (unlike many Chinese drama) and transitions well from case to case and the cases themselves are well paced and don't drag. The downside of this show for me was that the romance was a little forced and out of nowhere for me, I would have preferred if they kept this show focused more on the friendship of these characters. Also the female lead was a but annoying in my opinion but her character got better as the show went on. The acting was get Hu Ti Tian is a delight in this role and he really come alive as this character, he really is the highlight. Leon Zhang also does and amazing job. Honestly, if you enjoy mysteries this is a show I highly recommend

Ok so objectively this show is not a 9. The story is a mess, the character, especially the side ones, change at the drop of a hat and much of the plot is rushed and fast passed. However, even knowing all this my heart won't let me rate this show lower. While i can see the flaws I still loved it and it takes a very special show to have so many flaws but it's good parts are so good that I do not care about these flaws.

While the story aspect of this show the actors and the characters that are in this world truly shine. I don't even want to go into how many plot treads are just dropped (being a novel) or just change without any rhyme or reason (blue and Dew's relationship) but the actors just portray these characters in such a way that I go along with all the bs that the story tries to throw in. Honestly, The only thing that was a true negative for me was how much more of the plot was dedicated to Tutor and Fighter compared to Zon and Saifah. While a lot of that is due to situations beyond the control of production I still think it could have maybe been more even since I feel like we don't see them of episodes on end. Other then that this show was lovely and I really enjoyed it.

I had such high expectations for this show. It was one of the most talked about and hyped up series of last year and I couldn't help but have expectations going into it. And this just met and exceeded my expectations. I feel in love with this series, it's story, and most of all it's characters. This story is original and unique one of the best in any bl series I've come across. It just hit so well, it's funny heart breaking, heart warming and charming all at the same time. The acting is incredible, everyone just embodies there role to perfection and you feel the pain al of these characters are going through. Special attention should be given to Fluke who's emotional scenes just kill me every time. Every In and Korn scene just breaks my heart. I adore the friendship between Pharm, team and Manow they are just the sweetest. Also, I now want a a series about Win and Team's relationship. I have nothing but good things to say about the acting in this show. The Ost is also great these songs have been on repeat on spotify since I first heard them. aThis show is a slow burn and is very character and emotion based, their isn't as much of a focus on plot. The real drama comes from these character coming to terms with their past and while come may find that a negative i think it's makes the show different and an interesting story

I was genuinely excited and had a lot of hope for this series. Two childhood best friends meeting again and falling in love, with the added flavor of farms and horses. This should be a perfect combination for at least an entertaining show. Where this show takes an absolute nose dive is with it's main lead, I can't stand this guy. The beginning of this show has a lot of promise and I was really enjoying it. Their cat and mouse game dynamic was enjoyable. However, then they made the main male lead bipolar about here personality. One minute he is pursuing the FL, the next he ignores her for his girlfriend, then he get jealous of the second ML, so jealous that he commits sexual violence to the FL one 2 separate occasions. He literally holds her down as she is crying and kisses her and it was at this moment that I was done with him no amount of apologies made these scenes ok for me. Other terrible things he does include, getting together with the FL then gas lighting her by telling her they are not actually dating and he can flirt with any other girl, plus he also cheats in her when they finally get together.
The couple is cute when they are together but the ML pulls so much BS in the middle that the rewatch value of the show is so low.

This was a very cute and fitting ending for this series. I feel in love with this show and it is my favorite BL series and am so happy to have more content with these characters. It's such a sweet add on and it's really interesting to see what happened to this couple after all they went through in the series. After what happened in the main series I was just glad to have an hour and half of them being a happy couple, it's really want I needed after the series. Type's parents are a highlight and seeing just how strong Tharn and Type's relationship has become just warmed my heart

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.

This show feels like a half baked idea for a fanfic made by people who wanted more of the Mean/Plan couple but couldn't wait for LBC 2. I know these actors are good and know what they are doing I've seen them do better in so many other show. However, there is only so much you can do with the subpar nothingness that is this material. This show is short but even for a show that is only about an hour long nothing happened and it felt like the waste of hour. If you want more of this couple just watch reminders or a LBC compilation on youtube it'll be a better use of your time.

This is by far the best BL drama I've ever seen and has a place in my heart as one of my most favorite drama's I've ever seen. I feel in love with everything about this show. I adore the story and the grow each of the characters go through. Type has he's big arch however, I like that Tharn has his own flaws and thing he has to work through. This had become one of my favorite couples in any drama I have ever watched, I feel completely in love with them. All the side characters are mainly there to serve to the main couples narrative and I think that choice worked for this series to many subplots would have taken to much of the already limited time away from the main couple and I feel that in this series I would have been to the shows detriment. Lastly not to spoil anything the villain was so well handled and that story line had me at the edge of my seat. The casting was phenomenal. You can feel the chemistry between Mew and Gulf and I would love for them to do more together. The acting in the last two episodes of this show from them had me literally crying. All the characters that were recast from LBC were phenomenal and brought something different to the roles while still feeling like the same characters from LBC.
However, It must be said that this show tackles some very serious topics and while I think it was well done I can see how some could be triggered by it and have different opinions and that is completely understandable.
Overall this is now one of if not my favorite BL of all time. Would I rewatch it Absolutely!!! I'm already planning to multiple times. I cannot recommend this show enough.

This series warmed my heart. A lot of BL is very slimier and falls into cliches and in a way kind of blur together. This one stood out for me. The characters and the acting were very well done, all the actors I found were well cast and fit their roles quite well. Ae and Pete had one of the most healthy and sweet relationships I have ever seen in a BL show. There story was simple and which I found really refreshing. The obstacles in there relationship weren't there big things that cause major issues but rather the every day issues that a couple like them would face, and they handle them well and like a realistic couple with good communication skills which is a something I would like to see more of in drama. The side couples in this show are also a highlight. Not to spoil but I am so excited for season 2 of this show and to see more of tincan's relationship. Overall, a really fun and cute show that I can see myself re-watching in the near future

This show is super fun and cartoonishly silly at least for the first half. While not all the jokes landed, I did laugh at parts. However, the story for the first half didn't really interest me and seemed just like a vehicle for more jokes. In the second half of the show the story picks up and becomes more plot focused however this came at the expense of the humor which is this shows strong point. This show does not work as a serious fantasy drama, while the actors try it just doesn't come together and feels forced. It was also a total tonal shift to just cut out also all the comedy and just be a straight up drama in the second half. I should have kept the same tone it had in the first half while the comedy wasn't amazing it would have made the overall show a more enjoyable experience.

This is the first of the History series that I have watched and now I want to watch more. Usually the teacher student relationship isn't my thing but this show is the exception and I think the way they handled the relationship was really well done. I adore just how domestic this couple is and they family dynamic that they have with Yoyo. They tackle real life issues and the realities of this type of relationship. Also I'm always into bi representation and I like that this isn't about a man being traumatized and heartbroken from his ex wife and then turning gay but it's man who got divorced from his wife and just so happened to now fall in love with another man. Also how they handled the ex-wife was perfection. The acting was good they only criticism i have is that some of the crying scenes weren't great and kind of looked like the actors were more laughing as apposed to crying.
