I didn't know of any of the cast members prior to watching "The Untamed" but I stumbled upon some comments while I was watching "Ashes of Love" (drama I also loved and turned me into a Luo Yunxi fan) and I was like, why not, let me give it a try.

I decided to watch "The Untamed" during lockdown, probably like a lot of other people out there. I was still a bit confused by the time I finished watching it the first time as the story line seem like it was missing some bits of information, so I watch it again and the pieces start to fall into place. I read the novel and like magic, the whole picture became clear. Just so I didn't miss anything I also watch the "Mo Dao Zu Shi - Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, which I enjoyed as well.

Now I am in the same bottomless pit as so many others who got addicted, watching it on a continuous loop (watching alongside other shows). I even bought the DVDs straight from China, just in case one day it disappears from all media platforms. I got it so bad that I even sign up for Weibo (and I don't even speak Chinese/Mandarin) just so I can follow up and see if they decide at some point to make a second season, not to mention keep an eye on Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo new releases and media info as I became their fan too :) Fingers crossed for season 2!

I don't think there is a cure for this...Did anyone who watched it manage to get away from this really unhealthy obsession? I need professional help!!! Oh, and a really big supply of tissues, please!!! I think I will need to watch this until one day I won't be able to shed one tear! Would I be cured then?

On a more serious note, these dramas exposed me to a wonderful culture, gorgeous sceneries, decors and costumes, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous actors/actresses; made me fall in love with lots of songs, not just Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo and Luo Yunxi songs, and my list of great actors and singers is expanding daily. And for those inquiring minds, I love actresses too - Li Qin, Yang Zi, Bai Lu, etc.

Even if it is just for the hype around this drama and it is not your regular cup of tea, give it a try then come back and leave a comment. I am curious to see how many non-believers would hop on my wagon ;)
