I've regretted snobbing this drama for so long.
TO THE PERSON WHO IS WONDERING WHETHER THEY SHOULD WATCH THIS, PLEASE DO!It was such a shame. I've been seeing this drama before it was launched and I didn't even sneak peeked into it. For a year? Why? Because yes, I love Wang Yibo as an idol, but I have a prejudice into idol-actors. Also, I'm not so much into BL even though I have long been a cdrama fan, and even a long-time cnovel reader.
But damn, it feels so good to be proven wrong. First, the story was so damn good. The adventure is what really made this stand. The plot is truly complex that it will really run through your head like they are real people. The BL elements felt like so embedded in the story that you crave for more. It's not just an embellishment, and not even an issue. That actually, I've fallen into this hellhole of BL romance now. Truly, took me to a whole new world.
First, let's talk about Xiao Zhan. I've watched OME and I know he's brilliant, but I didn't became so obsessed to his character until he became Wei Wuxian. It felt like I actually feel the feeling of a producers after seeing XZ and realizing, damn boy this is the WWX we've been looking for. He is so amazing that it saddened me to know the controversies (that he has no fault of) after this. But I completely understand the fame. Because in this drama, you will fall for WWX first before falling deeper for LWJ.
Wang Yibo. Oh my god. All his microexpressions are on point. That even though he just moves maybe 10% of his facial muscles, you can actually feel his love. His concern. His passion. He really exudes the Lan Wangji vibe.
What's amazing in this drama is the rewatchability. Because of the intricate plot, it will be a different experience in every rewatch. You will focus on the levels of truth and the witholding of facts. The story is so great that spoilers didn't matter. It was about understanding why there are levels of truth in this story.
Every plant was paid off in a completely right pace. And you're just actually waiting for them to know and understand everything.
Soundtrack. Wuji has devastated me viscerally. Everytime I hear about it, I just want to cry.
Now, I'm so sorry for being late. CQL has celebrated its 1st anniversary just as I've concluded watching it, and I really regret not knowing CQL earlier. But I'm glad that now I finally watched this.
And upon seeing the earlier reviews, I know it will take a long time for me to get over this. God knows I don't want to get over this.

ok, I'm not a fan of C dramas, especially xianxia one.I'm a reader of the novel, and I'm having so much doubt about the live action as I don't think any actor can pull wei wuxian and lan wangji role, as a complicated role they are.
but, I'm so wrong, xiao zhan and wang yibo did excellent job! we couldn't ask for better actor!
it may be confusing af at first, but keep going on and at some point you'll get hooked without no return point.
the original novel is BL but worry not, the drama is only deep friendship / bromance, so it won't get uncomfortable.
I recommend this drama to my male friend, and they're fine with it, and totally love the story.
I won't make a long comment as there are so many already, what I want to say is:
GO WATCH THE UNTAMED!!!

Mulai dari Chen Qing Ling ( The Untamed ) saya mulai menonton fiilm Cina kembali setelah sekian lama hanya menonton drakor...
Hubungan persahabatan yang wow... Sulit untuk bisa move on dari Xiao Zhan & Wang Yi Bo... ( personal saya prefer to Xiao Zhan as Wei Wu Xian ) dan Yibo as Lan Wang Ji juga cool ...Mereka memiliki bakat yang wow... :)
Best film for me... Di mana semua pemainnya masih muda tapi bisa menampilkan karakter mereka dengan baik sekali...
Recomended banget... Jangan ketinggalan untuk menonton film ini y...
thanks....

Lives up to all the reveiws
This was my second drama to watch. My first reaction to it was...what the hell am I watching? My second reaction was who the heck is this drama's visual/special effects supervisor - and why did they hire him/her -I think a child could do better? My third reaction was - bawling my eyes out. Fourth reaction was - oh my God! Why have I been missing these drama's and where have they been all my life! I'm not a huge fan of long series as I have the attention span of a 'flea' but this one kept me fixated. Xiao Zhan's acting was so intense - and how he managed to remember all those lines?! If there was anything like the Oscars in China - I sure hope he won it as he took me as the viewer on one hell of a ride.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

The main leads have very good chemistry both on and off screen. It is a bit confusing at first because of all the sects and families but once you start understanding everything, it's heartbreaking to see what everyone goes through.
I definitely recommend a rewatch (you will) since you can get all those tiny details you missed the first time and you will be surprised at how neatly everything comes together.
The OST is incredible as well, must listen to every song on Spotify!
If you end up falling in love with this, good news is you can get a lot of BTS content, concerts and a lot more. Just you see how obsessed everyone became!
Literally made an account just to leave a review for this drama, you definitely have to watch it! Promise you you won't regret it!

Cast: Phenomenal. Every. Single. Actor. Was incredible to the point where it was as if they were meant to play their role. I honestly can’t get over how good the cast is, and it makes me really sad knowing that they won’t all be together again for anymore future shows. I just gotta support them individually now????
Soundtrack/music: I’m really sad because I didn’t realize how much I LOVE the soundtrack until after I finished the show. Don’t get me wrong - I recognized how good the music was, I just didn’t realize it to the full extent. Most - if not all - of the characters have their own songs, but I’m upset because I never really focused on that while watching. It’s so much fun going back to rewatch scenes/episodes and recognizing all of the music. I highly recommend searching up the songs on YouTube - the entire soundtrack has been translated...and when I tell you the lyrics are so beautiful, I mean it. It’s crazy how much emotion was put into every single song. I’ll definitely keep listening to the entire soundtrack frequently.
Rewatch value: ...You guys probably know what my answer is???? I would definitely rewatch it - and am going to. You don’t know how hard it was for me not to restart it after the last episode...I literally had to go out of my room???? It’s such a good show that deserves to be rewatched over and over and over again.
I’ll be honest - when I first saw that there were 50 episodes, I never thought I’d finish it because I have a really bad habit of dropping things in the middle (I get bored easily). However, not only did I watch the entire show - I finished it in 3 days. I can’t even tell you how much sleep I lost, but it was a significant amount. A lot of people are probably put off by the fact that a good portion of the show is just backstory - I’ll be honest, I was hesitant on watching because of that simple reason - but when it came time to jump back to the present I was really sad to see the past go...which is strange because I was counting down the episodes (until it went back to the present) in the beginning????
Overall: WATCH. THIS. SHOW. I kid you not - you will be missing out on *such* an incredible experience, and I really would have regretted not watching it. A lot of people are put off by the fact that it originated from a BL novel, but there’s not really any of that in this show...at the most it would be called “bromance”, but even that might be too much considering China’s censorship laws. While it may have probably been an awkward concept in the beginning for some actors (depending on their beliefs), you can really see how they all bond together, and all have such beautiful relationships with one another.
P.S. I’m sorry for such a long review...but I just had to say it: this show will make you adore even the enemies. Some of their backstories are so tragic that you just can’t help but feel love and pity for them???????? It’s truly amazing how the director (and everyone involved) was able to garner so many emotions from the audience????????????

Awalnya heran kok drama ini trending banget, populer banget, bahkan punya score 9.4. Iseng nyoba aja sebenernya, karena temen-temen di Facebook juga memuji drama ini. Bahkan temenku yang hobinya ngebacot, bahkan menguliti drama, bisa bungkam saat nonton drama ini. Seluar biasa apa? Penasaran dong saya. Padahal sebelumnya aku penggemar drama Korea. Setelah nyicip beberapa episode, ternyata nggak bisa berhenti nonton. Drama ini bener-bener luar biasa.
Nggak tau mau ngomong apa lagi dah. Cast, sountrack, alur, semua mantul.

Lovely show with a great story ☺
Hahaha at first I checked this out because a lot of other people were tweeting about it but it's actually really good.One thing I can say about it though is that the timeline got kind of wonky after a few episodes. I was confused when they transitioned from the present to the past without any indicator of when it was going to go back to the present and without working seamlessly enough in my opinion. It is addicting though, even when I was so confused about it I managed to finish it all and I really liked it!
WYB and XZ's acting in the series really managed to elevate the acting into a whole 'nother level and ZZJ managed to perfectly deliver the balance between a good sworn brother to ZWJ with a rotten core to anybody else. Also one of the best parts here for me was the Yi City Arc. WHX may sometimes act exaggeratedly but SJY really acted well with him!
Another note is that you should really watch this on Youtube or WeTV... because the subtitles on Netflix... hahaha it's abysmal and it won't really help you on remembering the different titles each character holds and can somewhat affect your viewing experience. The OST for this drama is REALLY good. I would recommend you to listen to it even if you aren't familiar with the drama but don't watch the subtitles because it's full of spoilers!
The reason I gave low rewatch value is because I never rewatch shows... so yeah
