As a viewer who has seen the episodes more than 100 times and has a bachelor's degree in classical Chinese literature, I want to give some clues without interfering with watching. The show is very rigorous, though I don't know if that's intentional or not. Mo Xuanyu not only sacrificed his body to repair Wei Ying injured body, the price is Wei Ying must avenge for him, he in order to start a dialogue with Wei Ying, gave up the opportunity to be incarnated in pure land, this is the beginning of the flag people keep saying, when Wei Ying and donkey left , the wind, can be understood as his last look at Wei Ying. This is the whole tragedy of Mo Xuanyu. The big boss behind is Xue Yang not Nie Huaisang. Wei Ying's body is hidden by Jin Guangyao, after he died, the only person who knows the secret Xue Yang in order to repair Xiaoxing chen's soul, borrow Moxuanyu and Nie Huaisang resurrected him. The logic is very complicated and requires a lot of words, so I'll leave it out. In short, there is not a useless detail in this drama. I wish you all a happy viewing.
Have you seen this much hype of any other drama after 5-6 years!? Lol😂 people are still crazy about this show, because it's worth watching. I have watched it more than 10 time with the same excitement. 💃
hahhahah I've been rewatching the untamed for more than 10x, watch donghua 3x, read manhua 3x, read novel 1x and rewatching the untamed again, but with 4 different reaction channel lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
*NO SPOILER* (Just a little bit of an explanation). The thing is, Wei Wuxian, also known as the Yiling Patriarch (you'll learn later why he is known as the Yiling Patriarch), died 16 years ago by falling off the cliff you saw in the very first scene. & The person named Mo Xuanyu is their (mo family's) nephew, and he killed himself to bring back Wei Wuxian's soul. So, it’s not wei wuxian himself but his soul is in Mo Xuanyu’s body. & He had to act crazy because that's how mo xuanyu was pretending to be, to keep himself safe. Mo Xuanyu wanted to take revenge on his family/enemies for the bad things they did to him. He was not strong enough to take revenge himself, which is why he brought back Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian had to kill them; otherwise, his scars wouldn’t heal, and he might die. I know you probably kinda get that but I hope the explanation helped you a little bit. other than that if you're still confused about something, you can ask!! 😂 Edit: Slight correction. In the book, and animated show, he just brought back the soul. In this drama, he brought back Wei Wuxian's whole body. That's why he was worried about people recognizing him and that's why he wears a mask.
Yes good explanation, I hope TU fans in Patreon explain everything each ep they react to , also including the symbols and what happened in the novel for every scene, I think they should read the comments at the end of every reaction so they can fully understand as this is slow burn drama fr.

They didn’t have a big budget back then, which is why you might notice some funny CGI here and there a little bit. Despite that, they still did a great job with the effects though. The series had a relatively modest budget but still managed to deliver high production values and extensive special effects. "The Untamed" became super popular both domestically and internationally, getting praise for its storytelling, character development, and visual appeal.
Xiaozhan is an amazing actor, he's just too good to be true. That's why his hardwork worth it. Now he's one of the best actor & top actor in China. Even popular worldwide. Yes wang yibo too but as an actor xiaozhan has more popularity but as a dancer wang yibo is incomparable. Such an phenomenal dancer.
And to be honest, you're going to be confused until the third episode. 😂 It's not going to be easy to fully understand because it's the kind of drama where, no matter how many times you've watched it, you're going to notice new things every time. So, don't be overwhelmed; it’s going to be interesting eventually. By the way, it's more focused on mystery, fights, and cultivation rather than their relationship. That's why people consider it a bromance, but it's clearly a BL with censorship. Those who have read the novel and know about it understand very well what it actually is. Their relationship is very subtle in the drama, but the novel is R-rated. It's an adaptation of the novel, with a little bit of improvisation and obviously some censorship, but it’s not completely different.
I always stand by the fact that even if it's considered a bromance in China it's still a BL. Like, I feel like it doesn't have to be said outright to be able to obviously tell that it is.
Case in point: I was like, "Holy shit!" just now when the storyteller got his gold. You're not meant to fully understand the first two episodes until, like, the 2/3s of the way into the series.
@@sophiainthebuilding censored romance is still romance. just because a couple is banned from kissing in public, doesn't mean they suddenly aren't a couple anymore 🤷
Following Xiao Zhan for a long time calling this drama unfortunate for him is funny bcs it can be anything but unfortunate. He wrote a letter to his characters WWX, took ribbon ( costume hair accessories of WWX ) home so he can have memories for a long time. Whenever he speaks about these dramas he always says positive and huge praises. This drama made their career huge it's fortunate for them to work on it, it got both of them huge loyal fandom and promising career that other celebs wish to have
Only 1 or 2 special effects are hilarious not even cringe, at the first scene & when they were in flying carpet, but other than that every special effects are pretty amazing. Despite having low budget they did an amazing job.
Lmao actors will always be thankful to this drama not just main leads but everyone this changed there whole career life for better yes 227 incident was very créul but now Xiao Zhan is thriving like no one else that guy is #/1 celeb in China very much loved globally as well. Wang Yibo doing amazing as well so pls don't call it unfortunate in my opinion its blessing for them. Not to forget Stiphanne over extragratted and gave some wrong info so don't believe everything. Xiao Zhan even took Wei Wuxian red ribbon home that how much he loved his role.
The confusion had me in tears lmao To clear the confusion I'll try to explain the best i can, please bear with me on this one im not that great with explaining things Mo Xuanyu was the og owner of the body, he sacrificed his body and summoned Wei Wuxian. Now Wei wuxian is now in Mo xuanyu's body or to be clear Mo xuanyu's body is his now. The cuts on his arm represents the people who mo xuanyu wants to get revenge on and if wei wuxian doesn't kill them, directly or not, the wounds wont heal and he might die and his soul will perish like what happened to mo xuanyu's soul after sacrificing his body. I tried lol Next, Mo xuanyu is known in his village as a madman or a psycho so wei wuxian uses that to his advantage and acts like it so ppl wont get suspicious of him, thats why he acts a bit childish. He was feared by everyone and almost the whole world wanted him dead, its understandable why he didn't wanna get found out Ppl here has like 2 to 3 names so u might get confused there for example Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan is his Birth name the "Lan" being his Family name or Surname and then there's some ppl calling him "Lan Wanji" thats his courtesy name, Courtesy names are traditionally given to chinese men but its no longer a practice in modern times. And then "Hangguang-Jun" is like a title bestowed to him👌 As for the powers thing its not magic or powers it's called cultivation and you guys might wanna do ur own research on that to avoid confusion or just continue the show and just learn it from there
To tell you so you don't mistake him, he was putting an act as the "stupid lunatic weirdo" so no one discover or doubts on his identity, he can obviously beat the shit outta all of them lmao so it's kind of hilarious to see him putt on the act. Wei Wuxian's character is that he is extremely smart and very strong but very childish sometimes ,the act was him tryna not break the character of the guy who sacrificed his body to exchange souls so that Wei Ying (Wei Wuxian) revenge him which is what he tryna do (also to get rid of those scars) The act he putt on at the start was indeed necessary cuz he was trying to humiliate and take revenge on the Mo clan lmao
Both Yibo and Xiao Zhan have emerged as fighters out of the 227 incident. They’re now part of the highest paid actors in China now and honestly, with all the hard work they’ve put in, they deserve it.
I don't think the actors were unfortunate 😂 because I believe it was fortunate that they worked in this drama. I know that phase was unfortunate for a short period of time, but after the show, the love, popularity, and success they had were incomparable. To be honest, the incidents are over-exaggerations of what you've seen. Yes, he had to suffer because of that incident, but some things are just over-dramatically explained.
Exactly 💯! The untamed was a life changing experience for them in a good way & a little bit bad Way. But everything worth it. The untamed is still one of the best BL drama ever. Still popular among fans.
Absolutely 💯. I can't even imagine any other actors playing Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. It's honestly a blessing for their careers to be in that show. Imagine if they hadn’t done it! They’d probably still be struggling, and it doesn’t mean they were bad actors, but sometimes our luck isn't on our side. Anyway, each and every character has its own fanbase; that’s how big the show is.
The best drama I've ever watched, not from any category but the best story I've ever watched, like nothing can beat this masterpiece even after 4 /5 years ‼️
I think someone should explain this to you because you will be hearing a lot of names in the show.. From my understanding, in ancient China, someone, especially in the elite family, can be known by a lot of names. I'll give an example of the 2 main characters in here. 1st lead: Birth name: Wei Ying (used by family and really close friends to call you. If someone who is not close to you uses it, it can be considered rude) Coming-of-age name: Wei Wuxian (usually given by parents or teacher during your come-of-age ceremony, used by colleagues and public to call you) Official name: Yilling Patriarch (more like a title name given to you because of your reputation and achievement so not everyone has it) For the 2nd lead: Birth name: Lan Zhan Coming-of-age name: Lan Wangji Official name: Hanguang jun
Mo guy sacrificed his soul (his soul never would be reincarnated. Completely gone) and brought Wei wuxians soul into his body. Wei wuxian is now legit owner of this body, because original soul is no longer there. Mo guy who was a small child when Wei wuxian was alive, heard that Wei Wuxuan was a powerful demonic person so he hoped Wei wuxian would take revenge for him. That scar is like a contract. Wei wuxian has to take that revenge otherwise that scar would never heal. After granting Mo's wishes he can live in that body however he wants. In drama it is confusing because directors didn't want to change the main actor in the middle. In the novel Wei wuxian looks like Mo because he is in Mo's body. His own body died 16 years ago.
LOWVIES, OUR REACTION TO THE FIRST 5 EPISODES (EP.6 COMING LATER THIS WEEK ) ARE AVAILABLE ON PATREON UNDER THE DIAMOND TIER AND ABOVE!! WE WILL ALSO BE POSTING THE UNTAMED ON YT, BUT WITH ALTERATIONS. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW www.patreon.com/posts/ep-1-untamed-102670237?Link&
Thank you for making it available on YT, I was able to enjoy it with you guys even with the alterations..I’m 100% sure you will see more n more engagement as you go to further episodes… this drama has got a pretty loyal fan base❤
I hope u will read my comment first of all u should know about chinese cultivation and people who cultivate are cultivators or practitioners basically spiritual cultivation is practicing martial arts with sword, archery, blade, etc... and mystical arts like talismans, spells, instruments(u can see lan zhan played instrument it's gu qin chinese instrument) in cultivation world people cultivate to a certain level to attain immortality it will take 100 years or 200 and more this is about spiritual cultivation did u see those blood arrays on ground that is blood magic means wicked tricks which are not allowed in cultivation world and all are not cultivators major clans which are 5 (wen clan, jin clan, lan clan(lan zhan's clan), nie clan, jiang clan(wei wuxian's clan he is not a jiang because he is adopted by jiang clan leader) and minor clans only have cultivators but if anyone have any connection to a cultivation clan like mo xuanyu he is illegitimate son of jin clan leader jin guangshan they can also be cultivators mo xuanyu is also cultivator
@@ShivaShakti89073 I don't think so, usually sects also accept disciples from outside the family, of course they are selected people, they must have the potential to become cultivators. But if you is a cultivator's descendants you have more potential to become cultivators. This is similar to the concept of wizards in Harry Potter, the difference is that if the power is not trained it will not come out. Btw, even if Mo Xuanyu is a son of Jin Clan leader, his Cultivation is not that good,(its not good actually, the main reason is probably because he started at the age of 13, even though generally cultivators start practicing from the age of 5, but if i remember correctly his potential is actually not high) maybe you can say its like squib in HP (but squibs really don't have any magic)
That's slow burn drama the first 3 ep is confusing not just for u but everyone who started it so dw, cgi is not so great bcs it has very less budget but story, acting, visual, set, etc are so f good. It's a drama that made people read novels of f 199+ chapter so u would understand how good it is
I'm from India but whenever watch Untamed series I am considering myself from part of this series and I dont even understand chinese but I just want to watch this series from chinese language😅 watched more than 7 times this series is something like painkiller to me. masterpiece ❤
BY THE WAY it's totally okay for you guys to not being used to it bcs the storyline is kinda complicated and chinese dramas tend to have a lots of timelines at the same episode . But i assure you this is one of the best plots ive ever read (ive read the novel, watched the anime and watched the show, and believe me ive watched literally %80 of asian dramas, thai japanese chinese korean and even taiwanese included lmao) it really progresses slowly but its realllllllllllllly good
So... like everyone said it's confusing at first but later on, you just wanna watch to solve the mystery. When I started watching this, I wasn't sure about will I watch it till the end, but it keeps getting more interesting. And after watching the whole drama I can say it's worth it! So I hope you keep watching this show!
The producer said in an interview they had a tight budget for this series that's why most cgi here are kinda 😅 Yang Xia said that they focused their budget to the set, costumes and soundtrack rather than invest to the CGI
This was my first series. Thank goodness online folks helped me find it and get through it. 30 some series later it’s still number 1 for me. Good choice!
The best drama of all time! You just need to give it a chance! It's really good. Don't pay attention to the cgi. It's quite unique, but the plot, acting, scenery and music are perfect! I love The untamed so much! You will get everything later)))) just don't stop watching! Please )
You know, today feels tiring for me but when I see your video on my homepage it makes me feel very happy 😭 really you have to continue to the next episode
The budget was low for this that's why cgi looks so cheap. But the story is worth it. It'll be interesting as you go on. And also if you like music you can pay attention to some background tracks playing in episodes cause one of the reasons I rewatch the untamed is for the bgm apart from the storyline.
Btw now that I am doing a rewatch myself, I don't understand why I was so confused back then. The only thing that's confusing is the many names otherwise they do a pretty much good exposition and world building in the first 2 eps
Just wanna give some information, this drama story was about cultivation which is common in Asia ancient, that starring wei wuxian as cultivator that have bubbly personality and still kind despite of the rough way he chose as cultivator that people hate(demonic cultivator) this show us how weiying a.k.a wei wuxian living his live while people hate him so bad. This is what Weiying said to Lanzhan that I loved "when people praised me over my demonic way of cultivating you are the only one that stood to stop me, but when people hate me till they want to kill me you are the only one who stand with me."
Censored romance is still romance guys, it's a BL, not a bromance lmao. It's made obvious enough in the show despite the censorship. but hey there's nothing that says you can't relate to the characters anyway when it comes to stuff other than the romance :) so excited for this reaction, this show gets better and better every episode! Also i really hope you react to A Tale of 1000 Stars next!! It's in my top 5 BLs right alongside The Untamed!
I’m only here on TH-cam unfortunately and not Patreon due to it being on a higher tier. But I like the idea of switching untamed around to the $5 tier once KP is done. I would certainly join the tier as I am already planning on joining for KP once you guys approach the end!
let me explain (without spoiler ) : after 16 years of the death of wei wuxian , mo xuyan a man of the mo familly who has been treated so badly by the mo familly and treated him like a mad guy had enough so he gave his body to wei wuxian ( the mo family didn't know he wasn't mo xuyan because since he was young he used to wear that mask so no one knew how he actually looks like ), so he sacrificed his body to wei wuxian in exchange for him to revange him of all people who opressed him , the scars on wei wuxian's arm represent the people he should kill to take revenge of . in this world not all people have powers , only the cultivators who have been training since they were child who has powers ) wei wuxian = wei ying ( his cultivator name) = Yiling Patriarch Lan zhan = hangunjun
Untamed is so good... Never seen a drama like this ever... I already finish watching this & reading the whole book for more than 10 times... It's the same feel watching it every time...
The person who adapted this bl novel did a fantastic job to get passed Chinese censorship. I think most of us in the west thought this drama as a "bromace" until things were explained to us. Either way, it was a great drama with wonderful cast, adaptation and ost. It was my introduction to Chinese dramas and it remains my all time favorite Cdrama and it's been 4 years. After this, the Chinese government's hard crack down of other bl related dramas were pulled or never made. Sad.
It's because Mo Xuanyu, the body that Wei Wuxian possessed decided to offer a ritual to Wei Wuxian and the price is offering his body to him. That's why Wei Wuxian possessed the body, Wei Wuxian doesn't have a choice but to be in the body. The scars are equivalent to life, means a life of a person. Each scar corresponds to the people that hurt Mo Xuanyu. Mo Xuanyu wanted to kill those people so We Wuxian needed to kill them. It's like, forcing Wei Wuxian to possessed the body while binding him into a curse of having scars forever that will never heal as long as you didn't achieve Mo Xuanyu's wishes. He tried to humiliate the Mo family, the one where he act stupid and a fool. Humiliation might achieve Mo Xuanyu's wishes but as you can see, the scars still didn't heal so he thought that he really need to kill them. That's all, hope that it was helpful.
about the world bild up: it's a magical world where The Cultivators cultivate Chi energy and can do magic things like fly, fight spirits etc. It's common for the c-ent. There are many genres. This one is knowns as a mix of wuxia and xianxia. There are elements of magic, cultivators, ghosts and folklore but also heroes, martial arts and chivalry. The series is worth watching. You need to push through the first 3-4 episodes. Everything will be explained eventually but there is no instant gratification. It will be done at the right time. And that is a good story telling.
I think the first thing to understand about the story is to know more about the genre of this drama, which is "Xianxia", so that you wouldn't be confused about their world. Xianxia, meaning “immortal heroes,” is a Chinese fantasy genre that focuses on characters who undergo meditation and training to become transcendental beings. It is often called “cultivation fantasy” by western readers, and the people who learn it called as "cultivators". They are immortals, that's why the characters from 16 years ago will still look the same.
he was just like me at the beginning of this series, I hadn't liked it, I wasn't even a little intrigued, the Special effects didn't please me and I gave up on the first few episodes, then I was blessed with the desire to try to continue watching after a good while, when I I forced myself to watch it again, I FELL IN LOVE, I didn't stop watching, I just watched it all day, I was dying to know what happened in the next episode, nowadays I've already watched this entire series 4 times or more and now I'm watching it again, I don't regret it and you won't regret it, the characters are incredible, the story is perfect, you won't even bother with the Special effects
i promise it gets so good as you guys keep watching hahah i know its confusing at the beggining but i swear that when it comes to an end you will need more haha. Nice video hope you keep posting the untamed
Another thing that will make it easier for you to know going into this drama is the clans and places where the clans reside. A clan is basically an accumulation of smaller families with the same ancestry, so they have the same family name. Or it can be formed by a family taking in desciples and they have a master-student relationship. However, there will be a main family (usually the biggest or most influential) that leads the clan while the other members of the clan might be from the other smaller families with the same ancestry or people adopted into the clan as desciples. There are a lot of clans, but there are 5 clans that are the main and biggest in this drama. These are the clans and the places where the main family of each clan reside in. - The Wen clan at Nightless City of Qishan - The Lan clan at Cloud Recesses of Gusu -The Jiang clan at Lotus Pier of Yunmeng - The Jin clan at Golden Carp Tower of Lanling - The Nie clan at Impure Realm of Qinghe
Hi, I have seen this series 18 times and still it keeps me enthralled. What you see in the first few confusing episodes ithe meaning of which is unveiled bit by bit throughout the series - with the last 3 episodes blowing your mind. this is a MASTERPIECE in all ways . Because of the censer of anything BL in the making they have used inuendo, Chinese cultural implications (so it is confusing for non Chinese ) - YES one watching needs to pay close attention to the nuances - which actually tell the actual story. Each time i watch the Untamed i find snippets that clarify and fill out more of the story. See this as a grand mystery to unfold with sprinkles of hidden bl that uses idioms, etc... of Chinese culture to hint at BL. Enjoy yourselves. It is NOT a fast burn - it takes its time with solid story telling to shape this MASTERPIECE. It is my # 1 watch. Hope you stick it out and fall down the rabbit hole of this show.
Regarding Netflix vs Viki: I think it depends on what you're trying to get out of the subs. I personally prefer the viki subs because they respect usage of honorifics, so for example when a character calls his sister "jie" they'll actually put "sister" there instead of just putting the sister's name. The Netflix subs are made with a wider target audience in mind who aren't necessarily familiar with such forms of adress, meanwhile Viki subbers know that a large majority of their audience will be very familiar with these.
Yeah you just have to go through the first episodes bcs of the confusion but after that it picks up and will pull you in like crazy!! Thanks for the reaction im always looking for reactions to the untamed since there arent that many online, i know you'll really like it!!
This is def one of those shows where you really just have to trust the process. I wasn't fully invested until around Ep. 10 or so, but I hung in there because friends kept telling me to and it's SO worth it!
The Untamed is one of those shows where going in blind and watching it the first time you generally dont have a huge inclination to what's going on. Like i watched the show, read bits and pieces of the book, listened to audio drama clips, watched the anime, and looked things up on Google to fully understand what was going on. That's how well thought out the storyline is to this show. You watch it multiple times and do research, and you still find new stuff about it every single time. It's good that you have viewers explaining it to you along the way because i think having some clarification will allow you to enjoy the show more and allow you to focus on the drama with minimal confusion. The Untamed will forever be on my top three list of favorite shows I've ever watched!
Okay lemme give a quick explanations of this episode. So we have the guy in black who threw himself off the cliff and died. That's Wei WuXian. Then we have the guy who tried to save him in white with a forhead band (which is a symbol of his clan). That's Lan Zhan. Now, Wei Wu Xian dies, however 16 years later a boy in an abusive household, Mo XuanYu, decides to sacrafice his body to WeiWuXian's soul. Meaning his soul exchanged with Wei WuXian. He did this because, he was abused to the point that he wanted revenge on the whole family, and Wei WuXian who was known as the greatest evil 16 years ago would be perfect for that. Wei WuXian's soul gets sucked into Mo Xuan Yu's body, so based off appearances no one should rlly recognise Wei Wu Xian in Mo Xuan Yu. Mo Xuan Yu was also crazy, literally, and always wore a mask to hide his appearance. So when Wei Wu Xian came back to life, he just continued acting like Mo Xuan Yu so he wouldnt be caught (which is why he's so crazy). We see WuXian (now in mo xuan yu's body) avoiding the clan (Lan Clan) with the blue forehead bands, he is scared they will recognise him or more accurately he is scared Lan Zhan (the man who tried to save him) is also visiting the Mo Family with the youger disciples of the Lan Clan, may recognise him. Since the disciples are the younger generation of the Lan Clan, they end up not knowing who Wei WuXian is, they didn't experience (or remember) the time when he was big 16 years ago. That's about all for now😊 Oh yea each scar on him, is a reminder of the enemy's he needs to kill. An enemy that Mo Xuan Yu wanted him to kill in return for giving his body up to him. So his scar heals up every time he kills one enemy. 1 scar stays, meaning he he still hasn't found Mo Xuan Yu's last enemy he has to kill for the scar to heal.
as someone who watched this series multiple times i say you'll have to be bit patient at the begining as it is your first time watching some thing like this but i swear it's worth it
Think of it as a live action of a manga/anime. Then you wouldn't feel so weird. It's actually a fantasy world where people cultivated to get super power and slow down/stop their aging.
The story takes 7-8 episodes to kick in, but it's SO WORTH IT! It takes time to get to know every character and to understand the premise, but then everything makes sense, I promise
Bro I totally get them not being as hyped because it's too much to take in at once, but after you get engaged with the story, know all the characters and understand the dynamics of this fantasy world there is no coming back. I watched 50 episodes like it was nothing, and I know people who have watched it multiple times. Just take your time to pick up on everything
gracias por subir el episodio para youtube, espero que suban mas . gracias por su reacción, es cierto que los primeros ep son confusos pero si ya vieron mas de 5 espero que hayan empezado a disfrutarlo. cuando lo vi por primera vez fue tan confuso que me propuse dejarlo al tercer episodio pero doy gracias que no lo hice, fue la mejor decisión que tome.
funny how wei wuxian is the best character ive ever seen and the most powerful at that, has the kindest nature and beautiful soul, merciful thoughtful loyal plus he's really cute and funny AND people remember him as the merciless cold blooded demon king lmao
Ok I *subscribed* 😅 You'll be hearing the word CULTIVATORS a lot..and those people are the ones with powers The Untamed is a bridge between BL and Bromance 😂 Originally it's a BL
Here the summary of first episode Wei Wuxian is the main character, he died after falling from the cliff but Mo Xuanyu take the body and keep it. Mo Xuanyu is known as lowly child of his family, he been tortured and treated like a mad man so he become one to hide his pain. While Mo Xuanyu can't take it anymore he did chants to revive Wei Wuxian from the death just for revenge. So it's a new life of Wei Wuxian but to keep on living, he need to fulfill Mo Xuanyu wish
I have to say, this was made for a chinese audience, and probably largely fans of the novel. There's a lot of Chinese Xianxia and wuxia tropes that are meaningless to us in the West, hence the confusion. The cultivators are the ones with powers, but this exits in a cultural context of animism, where even trees or animals can cultivate to consciousness and have powers. It is A LOT to adjust to. But we love it so much
Trust me after 2 or 3 episodes this will become ur fav show. But litwrally everyone who loves this show had to deal with doubting it and being confused for the first 3 to 4 episodes. If you pass that boundary, ur loving the show.
So not everyone has powers, only cultivators. There’s five major cultivation sects: The Jiangs, the Lans, the Wens, the Jins and the Nies. Lan Sect wears white/blue, the Jiang Sect wears purple/blue, the Nie Sect wears black/tan, Wen Sect wears red/black, Jin Sect wears gold. They’re called cultivators because they cultivate something called a golden core which gives them their spiritual powers. In the novel and animated version, Wei Wuxian is summoned into Mo Xuanyu’s body. However, in the live action they changed it so that Wei Wuxian was resurrected in his own body. This is why he wears a mask - to hide his face. Mo Xuanyu wanted revenge on the Mo family because they were incredibly abusive towards him; in the book the abuse is way worse than what you see here. The abuse drove Mo Xuanyu to madness, eventually leading to him killing himself to bring Wei Wuxian back since he believed Wei Wuxian was evil and would exterminate the Mo clan. The deepest cut is revenge for someone unnamed as of currently. Cultivators also age EXTREMELY slowly, to the point where they can stop aging completely depending on how powerful they are, they can also become immortal. This is why they look mostly the same age even though sixteen years has passed. In the beginning of the flashback we get in the next episode, they are around 15 years old. This series is absolutely amazing and brought both main characters to international fame, and even some of the side characters. Despite the drama that happened to Xiao Zhan, he still loves the show and none of them regret working on it.
5:35 I can't deny IT IS HAHAHA but I ignored it because it was said that it's not a big budget production. But the story makes us love the drama so LOL ignore the CGIs.
Like you said, the first few episodes are VERY confusing! But the rest of the show is great, one of the best shows I have ever watched! ❤🔥 I'm so happy that you're watching it too now! 🥰

As a viewer who has seen the episodes more than 100 times and has a bachelor's degree in classical Chinese literature, I want to give some clues without interfering with watching. The show is very rigorous, though I don't know if that's intentional or not. Mo Xuanyu not only sacrificed his body to repair Wei Ying injured body, the price is Wei Ying must avenge for him, he in order to start a dialogue with Wei Ying, gave up the opportunity to be incarnated in pure land, this is the beginning of the flag people keep saying, when Wei Ying and donkey left , the wind, can be understood as his last look at Wei Ying. This is the whole tragedy of Mo Xuanyu. The big boss behind is Xue Yang not Nie Huaisang. Wei Ying's body is hidden by Jin Guangyao, after he died, the only person who knows the secret Xue Yang in order to repair Xiaoxing chen's soul, borrow Moxuanyu and Nie Huaisang resurrected him. The logic is very complicated and requires a lot of words, so I'll leave it out. In short, there is not a useless detail in this drama. I wish you all a happy viewing.
"Who's the bad guy here"
You just summed up what The Untamed is about without you even knowing it.
Jin Ling's uncle is the bad guy.

@@bravedeadbirdsI see what you did there 😂
@@bravedeadbirdsthen Jin ling’s uncle, uncle, and uncle had a conflict… ( I wish I can say more but…there’s too much information)
@@8KEYsTales careful not to spoil
Have you seen this much hype of any other drama after 5-6 years!? Lol😂 people are still crazy about this show, because it's worth watching. I have watched it more than 10 time with the same excitement. 💃
I just watched it the other day for probably the 100th time.😅 It's just that good!
I'm currently watching now❤😂 such a masterpiece ❤😊
I’ve watched it more than 10 times… I was obsessed at one point 😭
I have a schedule to watch it every six months
hahhahah I've been rewatching the untamed for more than 10x, watch donghua 3x, read manhua 3x, read novel 1x and rewatching the untamed again, but with 4 different reaction channel lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could lose my memory of this drama so that I can watch it all over again like the first time
that's how good it is
Same like literally I've never felt that way about a show until the untamed
TRUEE!!!!
Para hacerlo diferente, ahora veo The Untamed viendo videos de reacciones, es como ver la serie con alguien más, jeje.
Frr
*NO SPOILER*
(Just a little bit of an explanation).
The thing is, Wei Wuxian, also known as the Yiling Patriarch (you'll learn later why he is known as the Yiling Patriarch), died 16 years ago by falling off the cliff you saw in the very first scene. & The person named Mo Xuanyu is their (mo family's) nephew, and he killed himself to bring back Wei Wuxian's soul. So, it’s not wei wuxian himself but his soul is in Mo Xuanyu’s body. & He had to act crazy because that's how mo xuanyu was pretending to be, to keep himself safe. Mo Xuanyu wanted to take revenge on his family/enemies for the bad things they did to him. He was not strong enough to take revenge himself, which is why he brought back Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian had to kill them; otherwise, his scars wouldn’t heal, and he might die. I know you probably kinda get that but I hope the explanation helped you a little bit. other than that if you're still confused about something, you can ask!! 😂
Edit: Slight correction. In the book, and animated show, he just brought back the soul. In this drama, he brought back Wei Wuxian's whole body. That's why he was worried about people recognizing him and that's why he wears a mask.
Pretty good explanation 💕
Yes good explanation, I hope TU fans in Patreon explain everything each ep they react to , also including the symbols and what happened in the novel for every scene, I think they should read the comments at the end of every reaction so they can fully understand as this is slow burn drama fr.
Slight correction. In the book, and animated show, he just brought back the soul. In this drama, he brought back Wei Wuxian's whole body. That's why he was worried about people recognizing him and why he wears a mask.
@@MavenCree right! Thanks for the correction!
more precisely, not only he will die again in the near future, his soul will not be able to reincarnated
They didn’t have a big budget back then, which is why you might notice some funny CGI here and there a little bit. Despite that, they still did a great job with the effects though. The series had a relatively modest budget but still managed to deliver high production values and extensive special effects. "The Untamed" became super popular both domestically and internationally, getting praise for its storytelling, character development, and visual appeal.
Xiaozhan is an amazing actor, he's just too good to be true. That's why his hardwork worth it. Now he's one of the best actor & top actor in China. Even popular worldwide. Yes wang yibo too but as an actor xiaozhan has more popularity but as a dancer wang yibo is incomparable. Such an phenomenal dancer.
And to be honest, you're going to be confused until the third episode. 😂 It's not going to be easy to fully understand because it's the kind of drama where, no matter how many times you've watched it, you're going to notice new things every time. So, don't be overwhelmed; it’s going to be interesting eventually. By the way, it's more focused on mystery, fights, and cultivation rather than their relationship. That's why people consider it a bromance, but it's clearly a BL with censorship. Those who have read the novel and know about it understand very well what it actually is. Their relationship is very subtle in the drama, but the novel is R-rated. It's an adaptation of the novel, with a little bit of improvisation and obviously some censorship, but it’s not completely different.
True
I always stand by the fact that even if it's considered a bromance in China it's still a BL. Like, I feel like it doesn't have to be said outright to be able to obviously tell that it is.
Case in point: I was like, "Holy shit!" just now when the storyteller got his gold. You're not meant to fully understand the first two episodes until, like, the 2/3s of the way into the series.
@@sophiainthebuilding censored romance is still romance. just because a couple is banned from kissing in public, doesn't mean they suddenly aren't a couple anymore 🤷
50 episode was not enough for me😂 I want more. Thank for reacting
SO TRUE!!!
Following Xiao Zhan for a long time calling this drama unfortunate for him is funny bcs it can be anything but unfortunate. He wrote a letter to his characters WWX, took ribbon ( costume hair accessories of WWX ) home so he can have memories for a long time. Whenever he speaks about these dramas he always says positive and huge praises. This drama made their career huge it's fortunate for them to work on it, it got both of them huge loyal fandom and promising career that other celebs wish to have
Special effects may be kinda cringey but the plot and characters are LIT! Hope you like it guys~~
Only 1 or 2 special effects are hilarious not even cringe, at the first scene & when they were in flying carpet, but other than that every special effects are pretty amazing. Despite having low budget they did an amazing job.
Lmao actors will always be thankful to this drama not just main leads but everyone this changed there whole career life for better yes 227 incident was very créul but now Xiao Zhan is thriving like no one else that guy is #/1 celeb in China very much loved globally as well. Wang Yibo doing amazing as well so pls don't call it unfortunate in my opinion its blessing for them. Not to forget Stiphanne over extragratted and gave some wrong info so don't believe everything. Xiao Zhan even took Wei Wuxian red ribbon home that how much he loved his role.
The confusion had me in tears lmao
To clear the confusion I'll try to explain the best i can, please bear with me on this one im not that great with explaining things
Mo Xuanyu was the og owner of the body, he sacrificed his body and summoned Wei Wuxian. Now Wei wuxian is now in Mo xuanyu's body or to be clear Mo xuanyu's body is his now. The cuts on his arm represents the people who mo xuanyu wants to get revenge on and if wei wuxian doesn't kill them, directly or not, the wounds wont heal and he might die and his soul will perish like what happened to mo xuanyu's soul after sacrificing his body. I tried lol
Next, Mo xuanyu is known in his village as a madman or a psycho so wei wuxian uses that to his advantage and acts like it so ppl wont get suspicious of him, thats why he acts a bit childish. He was feared by everyone and almost the whole world wanted him dead, its understandable why he didn't wanna get found out
Ppl here has like 2 to 3 names so u might get confused there for example Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan is his Birth name the "Lan" being his Family name or Surname and then there's some ppl calling him "Lan Wanji" thats his courtesy name, Courtesy names are traditionally given to chinese men but its no longer a practice in modern times. And then "Hangguang-Jun" is like a title bestowed to him👌
As for the powers thing its not magic or powers it's called cultivation and you guys might wanna do ur own research on that to avoid confusion or just continue the show and just learn it from there
To tell you so you don't mistake him, he was putting an act as the "stupid lunatic weirdo" so no one discover or doubts on his identity, he can obviously beat the shit outta all of them lmao so it's kind of hilarious to see him putt on the act. Wei Wuxian's character is that he is extremely smart and very strong but very childish sometimes ,the act was him tryna not break the character of the guy who sacrificed his body to exchange souls so that Wei Ying (Wei Wuxian) revenge him which is what he tryna do (also to get rid of those scars)
The act he putt on at the start was indeed necessary cuz he was trying to humiliate and take revenge on the Mo clan lmao
Both Yibo and Xiao Zhan have emerged as fighters out of the 227 incident. They’re now part of the highest paid actors in China now and honestly, with all the hard work they’ve put in, they deserve it.
Thanks for the information❤️
I don't think the actors were unfortunate 😂 because I believe it was fortunate that they worked in this drama. I know that phase was unfortunate for a short period of time, but after the show, the love, popularity, and success they had were incomparable. To be honest, the incidents are over-exaggerations of what you've seen. Yes, he had to suffer because of that incident, but some things are just over-dramatically explained.
Exactly 💯! The untamed was a life changing experience for them in a good way & a little bit bad Way. But everything worth it. The untamed is still one of the best BL drama ever. Still popular among fans.
Exactly it's like blessings for there career Xiao Zhan even took Wwx red ribbon home that how much he loved his character
Same I was shocked when he said that 💀
Absolutely 💯. I can't even imagine any other actors playing Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. It's honestly a blessing for their careers to be in that show. Imagine if they hadn’t done it! They’d probably still be struggling, and it doesn’t mean they were bad actors, but sometimes our luck isn't on our side. Anyway, each and every character has its own fanbase; that’s how big the show is.
Exactly I've said the same 🤣
The drama just gets better you guys will understand it as it goes by i swearrrr!!!!!😭😭 pls continue it
40:51 White to funerals and red for weddings
The best drama I've ever watched, not from any category but the best story I've ever watched, like nothing can beat this masterpiece even after 4 /5 years ‼️
I just came back from training, took a shower, and opened my phone, and boom, your notifications came. I clicked without hesitation.
This is alltime best drama in history ever 😭 guys you will get addicted to it❤❤❤
I think someone should explain this to you because you will be hearing a lot of names in the show.. From my understanding, in ancient China, someone, especially in the elite family, can be known by a lot of names.
I'll give an example of the 2 main characters in here.
1st lead:
Birth name: Wei Ying (used by family and really close friends to call you. If someone who is not close to you uses it, it can be considered rude)
Coming-of-age name: Wei Wuxian (usually given by parents or teacher during your come-of-age ceremony, used by colleagues and public to call you)
Official name: Yilling Patriarch (more like a title name given to you because of your reputation and achievement so not everyone has it)
For the 2nd lead:
Birth name: Lan Zhan
Coming-of-age name: Lan Wangji
Official name: Hanguang jun
Mo guy sacrificed his soul (his soul never would be reincarnated. Completely gone) and brought Wei wuxians soul into his body. Wei wuxian is now legit owner of this body, because original soul is no longer there. Mo guy who was a small child when Wei wuxian was alive, heard that Wei Wuxuan was a powerful demonic person so he hoped Wei wuxian would take revenge for him. That scar is like a contract. Wei wuxian has to take that revenge otherwise that scar would never heal. After granting Mo's wishes he can live in that body however he wants. In drama it is confusing because directors didn't want to change the main actor in the middle. In the novel Wei wuxian looks like Mo because he is in Mo's body. His own body died 16 years ago.

Thank you for making it available on YT, I was able to enjoy it with you guys even with the alterations..I’m 100% sure you will see more n more engagement as you go to further episodes… this drama has got a pretty loyal fan base❤
Thankyou guys for uploading on TH-cam now we can again enjoy this beautiful drama with you guys 🤎🤎
I hope u will read my comment first of all u should know about chinese cultivation and people who cultivate are cultivators or practitioners basically spiritual cultivation is practicing martial arts with sword, archery, blade, etc... and mystical arts like talismans, spells, instruments(u can see lan zhan played instrument it's gu qin chinese instrument) in cultivation world people cultivate to a certain level to attain immortality it will take 100 years or 200 and more this is about spiritual cultivation did u see those blood arrays on ground that is blood magic means wicked tricks which are not allowed in cultivation world and all are not cultivators major clans which are 5 (wen clan, jin clan, lan clan(lan zhan's clan), nie clan, jiang clan(wei wuxian's clan he is not a jiang because he is adopted by jiang clan leader) and minor clans only have cultivators but if anyone have any connection to a cultivation clan like mo xuanyu he is illegitimate son of jin clan leader jin guangshan they can also be cultivators mo xuanyu is also cultivator
@@ShivaShakti89073 I don't think so, usually sects also accept disciples from outside the family, of course they are selected people, they must have the potential to become cultivators. But if you is a cultivator's descendants you have more potential to become cultivators. This is similar to the concept of wizards in Harry Potter, the difference is that if the power is not trained it will not come out.
Btw, even if Mo Xuanyu is a son of Jin Clan leader, his Cultivation is not that good,(its not good actually, the main reason is probably because he started at the age of 13, even though generally cultivators start practicing from the age of 5, but if i remember correctly his potential is actually not high) maybe you can say its like squib in HP (but squibs really don't have any magic)
That's slow burn drama the first 3 ep is confusing not just for u but everyone who started it so dw, cgi is not so great bcs it has very less budget but story, acting, visual, set, etc are so f good. It's a drama that made people read novels of f 199+ chapter so u would understand how good it is
I'm from India but whenever watch Untamed series I am considering myself from part of this series and I dont even understand chinese but I just want to watch this series from chinese language😅 watched more than 7 times this series is something like painkiller to me. masterpiece ❤
The deep voice effect is sending me, this is too funny 🤣🤣🤣
BY THE WAY it's totally okay for you guys to not being used to it bcs the storyline is kinda complicated and chinese dramas tend to have a lots of timelines at the same episode . But i assure you this is one of the best plots ive ever read (ive read the novel, watched the anime and watched the show, and believe me ive watched literally %80 of asian dramas, thai japanese chinese korean and even taiwanese included lmao) it really progresses slowly but its realllllllllllllly good
Please continue posting this on TH-cam ❤
Trust me guys, you would gain more subscribers rather than losing.
Trust me no one will get bored. You'll gain more subscribers too.
So... like everyone said it's confusing at first but later on, you just wanna watch to solve the mystery. When I started watching this, I wasn't sure about will I watch it till the end, but it keeps getting more interesting. And after watching the whole drama I can say it's worth it! So I hope you keep watching this show!
I love this drama, ive only watched it 3 times not but it still makes me emotional
Finally!! You reacted to this. This drama is a masterpiece. 😍
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for you to read the novel to fully understand this drama.
The producer said in an interview they had a tight budget for this series that's why most cgi here are kinda 😅
Yang Xia said that they focused their budget to the set, costumes and soundtrack rather than invest to the CGI
This was my first series. Thank goodness online folks helped me find it and get through it. 30 some series later it’s still number 1 for me. Good choice!
The best drama of all time! You just need to give it a chance! It's really good. Don't pay attention to the cgi. It's quite unique, but the plot, acting, scenery and music are perfect! I love The untamed so much! You will get everything later)))) just don't stop watching! Please )
Untamed fans from INDIA 🇮🇳❤
You know, today feels tiring for me but when I see your video on my homepage it makes me feel very happy 😭 really
you have to continue to the next episode
Yall are ALWAYS on time, i always have my food ready when you guys post. im so lucky
The budget was low for this that's why cgi looks so cheap. But the story is worth it. It'll be interesting as you go on. And also if you like music you can pay attention to some background tracks playing in episodes cause one of the reasons I rewatch the untamed is for the bgm apart from the storyline.
Btw now that I am doing a rewatch myself, I don't understand why I was so confused back then. The only thing that's confusing is the many names otherwise they do a pretty much good exposition and world building in the first 2 eps
Why I clicked so fast after seeing just the name untamed 😐 I am crazy for this series awwww thank you so much guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just wanna give some information, this drama story was about cultivation which is common in Asia ancient, that starring wei wuxian as cultivator that have bubbly personality and still kind despite of the rough way he chose as cultivator that people hate(demonic cultivator) this show us how weiying a.k.a wei wuxian living his live while people hate him so bad. This is what Weiying said to Lanzhan that I loved "when people praised me over my demonic way of cultivating you are the only one that stood to stop me, but when people hate me till they want to kill me you are the only one who stand with me."
The best and my favorite Chinese drama is Love like the Galaxy. I finished watching56 episodes in two days.
Literally I am SOO close to get a membership because this series is insane
lmaooo,me too.But I decided to keep it easy xD
Censored romance is still romance guys, it's a BL, not a bromance lmao. It's made obvious enough in the show despite the censorship. but hey there's nothing that says you can't relate to the characters anyway when it comes to stuff other than the romance :) so excited for this reaction, this show gets better and better every episode!
Also i really hope you react to A Tale of 1000 Stars next!! It's in my top 5 BLs right alongside The Untamed!
I’m only here on TH-cam unfortunately and not Patreon due to it being on a higher tier. But I like the idea of switching untamed around to the $5 tier once KP is done. I would certainly join the tier as I am already planning on joining for KP once you guys approach the end!
let me explain (without spoiler ) : after 16 years of the death of wei wuxian , mo xuyan a man of the mo familly who has been treated so badly by the mo familly and treated him like a mad guy had enough so he gave his body to wei wuxian ( the mo family didn't know he wasn't mo xuyan because since he was young he used to wear that mask so no one knew how he actually looks like ), so he sacrificed his body to wei wuxian in exchange for him to revange him of all people who opressed him , the scars on wei wuxian's arm represent the people he should kill to take revenge of .
in this world not all people have powers , only the cultivators who have been training since they were child who has powers )
wei wuxian = wei ying ( his cultivator name) = Yiling Patriarch
Lan zhan = hangunjun
Untamed is so good... Never seen a drama like this ever... I already finish watching this & reading the whole book for more than 10 times... It's the same feel watching it every time...
The person who adapted this bl novel did a fantastic job to get passed Chinese censorship. I think most of us in the west thought this drama as a "bromace" until things were explained to us. Either way, it was a great drama with wonderful cast, adaptation and ost. It was my introduction to Chinese dramas and it remains my all time favorite Cdrama and it's been 4 years. After this, the Chinese government's hard crack down of other bl related dramas were pulled or never made. Sad.
It's because Mo Xuanyu, the body that Wei Wuxian possessed decided to offer a ritual to Wei Wuxian and the price is offering his body to him. That's why Wei Wuxian possessed the body, Wei Wuxian doesn't have a choice but to be in the body.
The scars are equivalent to life, means a life of a person. Each scar corresponds to the people that hurt Mo Xuanyu. Mo Xuanyu wanted to kill those people so We Wuxian needed to kill them.
It's like, forcing Wei Wuxian to possessed the body while binding him into a curse of having scars forever that will never heal as long as you didn't achieve Mo Xuanyu's wishes.
He tried to humiliate the Mo family, the one where he act stupid and a fool. Humiliation might achieve Mo Xuanyu's wishes but as you can see, the scars still didn't heal so he thought that he really need to kill them.
That's all, hope that it was helpful.
about the world bild up: it's a magical world where The Cultivators cultivate Chi energy and can do magic things like fly, fight spirits etc. It's common for the c-ent. There are many genres. This one is knowns as a mix of wuxia and xianxia. There are elements of magic, cultivators, ghosts and folklore but also heroes, martial arts and chivalry.
The series is worth watching. You need to push through the first 3-4 episodes. Everything will be explained eventually but there is no instant gratification. It will be done at the right time. And that is a good story telling.
The special effect is new to you but please keep going. The drama is really good and interesting
Saw this and immediately subbed, the wait for them all to be released is gonna be sooo painful.
OMG this drama is literally my roman empire istg 😭
See I have watched the untamed almost 20 times and it never gets old. Now I'll watch it again with you guys
I think the first thing to understand about the story is to know more about the genre of this drama, which is "Xianxia", so that you wouldn't be confused about their world.
Xianxia, meaning “immortal heroes,” is a Chinese fantasy genre that focuses on characters who undergo meditation and training to become transcendental beings. It is often called “cultivation fantasy” by western readers, and the people who learn it called as "cultivators". They are immortals, that's why the characters from 16 years ago will still look the same.
he was just like me at the beginning of this series, I hadn't liked it, I wasn't even a little intrigued, the Special effects didn't please me and I gave up on the first few episodes, then I was blessed with the desire to try to continue watching after a good while, when I I forced myself to watch it again, I FELL IN LOVE, I didn't stop watching, I just watched it all day, I was dying to know what happened in the next episode, nowadays I've already watched this entire series 4 times or more and now I'm watching it again, I don't regret it and you won't regret it, the characters are incredible, the story is perfect, you won't even bother with the Special effects
i promise it gets so good as you guys keep watching hahah i know its confusing at the beggining but i swear that when it comes to an end you will need more haha. Nice video hope you keep posting the untamed
Thank you guys i didn’t expect that you gonna upload it this early 😭
Another thing that will make it easier for you to know going into this drama is the clans and places where the clans reside.
A clan is basically an accumulation of smaller families with the same ancestry, so they have the same family name. Or it can be formed by a family taking in desciples and they have a master-student relationship. However, there will be a main family (usually the biggest or most influential) that leads the clan while the other members of the clan might be from the other smaller families with the same ancestry or people adopted into the clan as desciples.
There are a lot of clans, but there are 5 clans that are the main and biggest in this drama. These are the clans and the places where the main family of each clan reside in.
- The Wen clan at Nightless City of Qishan
- The Lan clan at Cloud Recesses of Gusu
-The Jiang clan at Lotus Pier of Yunmeng
- The Jin clan at Golden Carp Tower of Lanling
- The Nie clan at Impure Realm of Qinghe
Hi, I have seen this series 18 times and still it keeps me enthralled. What you see in the first few confusing episodes ithe meaning of which is unveiled bit by bit throughout the series - with the last 3 episodes blowing your mind. this is a MASTERPIECE in all ways . Because of the censer of anything BL in the making they have used inuendo, Chinese cultural implications (so it is confusing for non Chinese ) - YES one watching needs to pay close attention to the nuances - which actually tell the actual story. Each time i watch the Untamed i find snippets that clarify and fill out more of the story. See this as a grand mystery to unfold with sprinkles of hidden bl that uses idioms, etc... of Chinese culture to hint at BL. Enjoy yourselves. It is NOT a fast burn - it takes its time with solid story telling to shape this MASTERPIECE. It is my # 1 watch. Hope you stick it out and fall down the rabbit hole of this show.
Regarding Netflix vs Viki: I think it depends on what you're trying to get out of the subs. I personally prefer the viki subs because they respect usage of honorifics, so for example when a character calls his sister "jie" they'll actually put "sister" there instead of just putting the sister's name. The Netflix subs are made with a wider target audience in mind who aren't necessarily familiar with such forms of adress, meanwhile Viki subbers know that a large majority of their audience will be very familiar with these.
Yeah you just have to go through the first episodes bcs of the confusion but after that it picks up and will pull you in like crazy!! Thanks for the reaction im always looking for reactions to the untamed since there arent that many online, i know you'll really like it!!
17:05 HE, Wei Wuxian, possessed someone's body. Mo Xuanyu summoned him and offered his body as a vessel(?) to take revenge (k!ll his enemies) for him.
This is def one of those shows where you really just have to trust the process. I wasn't fully invested until around Ep. 10 or so, but I hung in there because friends kept telling me to and it's SO worth it!
The Untamed is one of those shows where going in blind and watching it the first time you generally dont have a huge inclination to what's going on. Like i watched the show, read bits and pieces of the book, listened to audio drama clips, watched the anime, and looked things up on Google to fully understand what was going on. That's how well thought out the storyline is to this show. You watch it multiple times and do research, and you still find new stuff about it every single time. It's good that you have viewers explaining it to you along the way because i think having some clarification will allow you to enjoy the show more and allow you to focus on the drama with minimal confusion. The Untamed will forever be on my top three list of favorite shows I've ever watched!
Okay lemme give a quick explanations of this episode.
So we have the guy in black who threw himself off the cliff and died. That's Wei WuXian. Then we have the guy who tried to save him in white with a forhead band (which is a symbol of his clan). That's Lan Zhan.
Now, Wei Wu Xian dies, however 16 years later a boy in an abusive household, Mo XuanYu, decides to sacrafice his body to WeiWuXian's soul. Meaning his soul exchanged with Wei WuXian. He did this because, he was abused to the point that he wanted revenge on the whole family, and Wei WuXian who was known as the greatest evil 16 years ago would be perfect for that. Wei WuXian's soul gets sucked into Mo Xuan Yu's body, so based off appearances no one should rlly recognise Wei Wu Xian in Mo Xuan Yu. Mo Xuan Yu was also crazy, literally, and always wore a mask to hide his appearance. So when Wei Wu Xian came back to life, he just continued acting like Mo Xuan Yu so he wouldnt be caught (which is why he's so crazy). We see WuXian (now in mo xuan yu's body) avoiding the clan (Lan Clan) with the blue forehead bands, he is scared they will recognise him or more accurately he is scared Lan Zhan (the man who tried to save him) is also visiting the Mo Family with the youger disciples of the Lan Clan, may recognise him. Since the disciples are the younger generation of the Lan Clan, they end up not knowing who Wei WuXian is, they didn't experience (or remember) the time when he was big 16 years ago.
That's about all for now😊
Oh yea each scar on him, is a reminder of the enemy's he needs to kill. An enemy that Mo Xuan Yu wanted him to kill in return for giving his body up to him. So his scar heals up every time he kills one enemy. 1 scar stays, meaning he he still hasn't found Mo Xuan Yu's last enemy he has to kill for the scar to heal.
Yea for me it took until ep 3 to get hooked
as someone who watched this series multiple times i say you'll have to be bit patient at the begining as it is your first time watching some thing like this but i swear it's worth it
Thank you for your reaction about Xiao Zhan. I'm already your follower.
Think of it as a live action of a manga/anime. Then you wouldn't feel so weird. It's actually a fantasy world where people cultivated to get super power and slow down/stop their aging.
The story takes 7-8 episodes to kick in, but it's SO WORTH IT! It takes time to get to know every character and to understand the premise, but then everything makes sense, I promise
Bro I totally get them not being as hyped because it's too much to take in at once, but after you get engaged with the story, know all the characters and understand the dynamics of this fantasy world there is no coming back. I watched 50 episodes like it was nothing, and I know people who have watched it multiple times. Just take your time to pick up on everything
gracias por subir el episodio para youtube, espero que suban mas . gracias por su reacción, es cierto que los primeros ep son confusos pero si ya vieron mas de 5 espero que hayan empezado a disfrutarlo. cuando lo vi por primera vez fue tan confuso que me propuse dejarlo al tercer episodio pero doy gracias que no lo hice, fue la mejor decisión que tome.
You have GOT to pay attention to the subtitles.... everything was explained as to how Wei Wuxian is in Mo's body. 😂
Everyone feels the way you guys do about the first episode 😅. I little just came across you guys and I subscribed because of this.
omg, my all time favourite show ever, nothing has beat this one so far
Lmaooo the utter confusion of the first few episodes of the untamed will never not be funny, dw we all went throught it
funny how wei wuxian is the best character ive ever seen and the most powerful at that, has the kindest nature and beautiful soul, merciful thoughtful loyal plus he's really cute and funny AND people remember him as the merciless cold blooded demon king lmao
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes on yt

You'll be hearing the word CULTIVATORS a lot..and those people are the ones with powers
The Untamed is a bridge between BL and Bromance 😂
Originally it's a BL

the untamed
Thanks for this reaction. I hope we get to the end of the series with you. ❤
Here the summary of first episode
Wei Wuxian is the main character, he died after falling from the cliff but Mo Xuanyu take the body and keep it. Mo Xuanyu is known as lowly child of his family, he been tortured and treated like a mad man so he become one to hide his pain. While Mo Xuanyu can't take it anymore he did chants to revive Wei Wuxian from the death just for revenge. So it's a new life of Wei Wuxian but to keep on living, he need to fulfill Mo Xuanyu wish
This is such a great drama. It is well worth the time. Yes it’s confusing to begin with but I’m fairly certain that you will become hooked.
I'm so ready and excited to watch you both finis this drama. It's epic
I have to say, this was made for a chinese audience, and probably largely fans of the novel. There's a lot of Chinese Xianxia and wuxia tropes that are meaningless to us in the West, hence the confusion. The cultivators are the ones with powers, but this exits in a cultural context of animism, where even trees or animals can cultivate to consciousness and have powers. It is A LOT to adjust to. But we love it so much
OMG Thank you for reacting this masterpiece ❤ please continue posting this on youtube ❤
OMG YEEEES! I WAS HOPING FOR THIS REACTION!
Trust me after 2 or 3 episodes this will become ur fav show. But litwrally everyone who loves this show had to deal with doubting it and being confused for the first 3 to 4 episodes. If you pass that boundary, ur loving the show.
So not everyone has powers, only cultivators. There’s five major cultivation sects: The Jiangs, the Lans, the Wens, the Jins and the Nies. Lan Sect wears white/blue, the Jiang Sect wears purple/blue, the Nie Sect wears black/tan, Wen Sect wears red/black, Jin Sect wears gold.
They’re called cultivators because they cultivate something called a golden core which gives them their spiritual powers. In the novel and animated version, Wei Wuxian is summoned into Mo Xuanyu’s body. However, in the live action they changed it so that Wei Wuxian was resurrected in his own body. This is why he wears a mask - to hide his face.
Mo Xuanyu wanted revenge on the Mo family because they were incredibly abusive towards him; in the book the abuse is way worse than what you see here. The abuse drove Mo Xuanyu to madness, eventually leading to him killing himself to bring Wei Wuxian back since he believed Wei Wuxian was evil and would exterminate the Mo clan. The deepest cut is revenge for someone unnamed as of currently.
Cultivators also age EXTREMELY slowly, to the point where they can stop aging completely depending on how powerful they are, they can also become immortal. This is why they look mostly the same age even though sixteen years has passed. In the beginning of the flashback we get in the next episode, they are around 15 years old.
This series is absolutely amazing and brought both main characters to international fame, and even some of the side characters. Despite the drama that happened to Xiao Zhan, he still loves the show and none of them regret working on it.
5:35 I can't deny IT IS HAHAHA but I ignored it because it was said that it's not a big budget production. But the story makes us love the drama so LOL ignore the CGIs.
Like you said, the first few episodes are VERY confusing! But the rest of the show is great, one of the best shows I have ever watched! ❤🔥 I'm so happy that you're watching it too now! 🥰
Thank youu for posting this on TH-cam 😍
YAYY!!! excited to watch it again with you!
