The Untamed

The Untamed  well, God bless the youtube channel that recommended it (and also warned that the first few episodes are not an indicator of the whole) it is like tailor made for me. I have inhaled all of the 50 episodes. I was in tears so much during and I loved all of it to bits. From the cast, art direction, costumes, special effects everything worked amazingly well. Oh but the story!! The story is amazing. Our hero (the titular Untamed) is an orphan boy who is raised by a clan and became a brother to the actual children of the clan master and his wife. These three are inseparable. The girl is the elder sister, a mature and loving person who gets along exceptionally well with our hero Wei Wuxian. The boy is a hot head with a kind heart who often causes arguments but also knows how to apologise and do good. The first few episodes can be a bit confusing but as soon as the story has a sixteen year old flashback we are with these three who are going to another clan for a course to learn more about their martial art skills. Wei Wuxian is a happy go lucky boy who is an optimist who likes to drink and generally enjoys company. At this course place is our second male lead Lan Zhan who is a studious student who hardly speaks a word and is very strict and rule abiding. Well it was love at first sight for Lan Zhan but it took some time for him to really accept it. Same goes for Wei Wuxian, he immediately likes Lan Zhan but then again he is inclined to like people. These two go from adventure to mischief during the course and the story takes of from there. Allow me to say Wei Wuxian is a tragic hero worthy of Yang Guo. And male/male romance is definitely not my jam but I fell for it here. The actors have amazing chemistry and both play their roles perfectly. And I was rooting for them every step of the way.

All in all I give this one a 10 out of 10. Thank God I was able to watch this one.
