Xiao Zhan conveys his emotions through his vivid facial expressions and gives a very natural performance. Wei Wu Xian is portrayed in a way that makes him very easy to like and to root for. Xiao Zhan who plays Wei Wu Xian brings his lively, playful and good-natured character to life. There are many notable mentions for the cast, but let's first talk about the two male leads. The voice actors for the characters were phenomenal and bought depth and emotion that most normal voices just cannot achieve. The storyline is well-paced, exciting and balanced, setting a solid foundation for the show to build upon. Although the major focus of the story is the 'bromance/love' between the two main male characters Wei Wu Xian and Lang Wang Ji, the rest of the characters are interesting and layered as well. There is an emphasis on relationships, whether it'd be friendship, sisterly/brotherly love or romantic love. The show will take you on an epic adventure filled with action and battle, but also goes far beyond just that. The show may seem a bit slow-paced at first, especially in the few episodes of introduction, but then it rapidly picks up momentum and stays that way for the rest of its run. Moreover, there is so much more to the story than just the relationship between the two male leads.) The generous 50 episodes means that the show can set the background and flesh out all of the characters thoroughly. For me personally, this wasn't a particular drawback, because even without the direct display of affection, I interpreted the relationship between our male leads as something much more than just friends. The show is based on the BL(boy's love) novel 'modaozushi' (魔道祖师), with the only major change being the lack of on-screen BL scenes. The plot is complex and the synopsis does not do the story justice. Not trying to take anything away from the acting, execution or production of the show, but the story is what elevates this drama into the tier of the elites. This show has cemented a place in my heart and I feel torn having to part ways with Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji and the cultivation world. It only took a few episodes before I was completely hooked and now, 50 episodes later, I can confidently say that 'The Untamed' is one of the best Asian dramas I've seen to date. So I decided to give the show a chance to live up to its expectations. But after digging a little deeper and reading reviews and recommendations, it seemed as if everyone was loving this show. The synopsis seemed messy, the cast did not consist of any veteran actors, and the production value was not very high. At the time, I didn't get why 'The Untamed' was so popular and well-received. So when this massively popular show popped up under my radar, I wasn't sold yet. but I think Wang Yibo did a great job showing a cool but caring Lan Wangji~ >///<Ī once in a blue moon treasure that is enchanting, magical and extremely addictive After being sorely disappointed by the infamous 'Descendants of the Sun', I've learnt that the 'hype' surrounding a drama does not always translate to an enjoyable watch for everyone. there're not many expressions shown by Lan Wangji here. WWX IS MADE FOR XIAO ZHAN!! And for Wang Yibo. now it has reached 8.0!! I think it proves the beauty of this show.Īcting/Cast - Both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo did a great job in this drama!! At first, I though Xiao Zhan wouldn't suit WWX since he doesn't look like someone who talks a lot. like, at first, in China, many the original novel fans can't accept the show (because there's no BL or Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo don't have WWX & LWJ's charm, etc) and so The Untamed only got a low rating (4.8 in douban) but it keeps on increasing after the show airing. This drama really has exceed everyone's expectations. It was a big question in the novel HOW DID WWX LEARN DEMON CULTIVATION? And the story about Xue Chonghai is to answer the question. And I think they add a new character, Xue Chonghai, to smooth the story. it doesn't really change anything (maybe only more screentimes for minor characters like Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli). For the additional plots, I don't have any problem with them. (Trust me, they adapted almost everything except the confession scene and steamy scenes). they adapted many sweet scenes of LWJ and WWX. The story is rather faithful to the novel (not exactly the same tho). THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!! Story - For those who love the novel and dissapointed because there's no BL in this, DON'T WORRY!! The bromance is wonderful and will make you can't stop smiling.
