This is one of my top list dramas. The story is not very original but the way it is screenplayed and filmed was just very interesting. Very beautiful scenes come out from this show that mainly deals with the eternal questions of knowing who is right and who is wrong. Different clans struggle for power and promote their own beliefs and values. Evil clans, rightousness clans, neutral ones. Can friendship grow among people from different clans ? Can love survive to forbidden rules and social pressure ? This is what a young simple mind and nearly idiot boy ( Xiao Fan/Li Yi Feng) is meant to learn. You don't expect this one to be a hero but fate will work for him. I was very much impressed with Li Yi Feng acting : I kept on asking myself for nearly half of the show if this guy was really a good actor or an idiot in real life because of his expressions and eyes ! Well, well... he is a genious ! As the drama goes on, Xiao Fan becomes a hero with suspicious inner power and forbidden love feelings for Demon Arch Lord's daughter... How can you deal with this when you are supposed to follow your clan's rightnouss rules and path ? How can you be sure that your heart isn't evil ? A pure heart and simple mind knows it. Evil comes from the one who wants to act evil. Demonic weapons can be used for achieving fine and noble purposes, everything dipends on your aspirations and your will to act bad or right. This is not only a wuxia fantasy romance it is also about friendship, power, bromance and learning about life while facing your own choises. The Untamed before the Untamed ! Very good show with great visual effects as well.
