I have watched several Chinese dramas (such as Yanxi Palace, The Dragon Sabre and Heavenly Sword, Rise of Phoenixes, Eternal Love) and I find The Untamed very intriguing and the story draws you into the characters. The Untamed is the best C-Drama that I have watched so far. The storyline is uncommon, the characters are engaging, the music is soothing and pleasant. Overall, I enjoyed watching this particular C-Drama that does not involve having a villainous woman being evil to another woman because they like the same guy or because she wants to be the empress. I am sick and tired to watch Chinese period dramas that always involve a man being the object of interests of many jealous women. The Untamed has a refreshing storyline that focuses on brotherhood/clan loyalty/friendship. I know that a lot of people said it's based on BL novel but when I watched it (without knowing it's based on a BL novel), I did not think it was BL or gay at all. I never read the novel so I don't have any expectations or over fantasizing on them being together as a couple. To me, they are loyal friends like sworn brothers type of relationship. So don't be afraid to watch it if you are scared to see any BL scenes. I am sure the Chinese censorship would not approve the series if it does.
