I watched most of it in marathon. I did not read the novel, I don't tent to read many novel these days and I landed on this program by chance watching a review of some thai BL tv show. And boy I was hooked. I am litterally obsessed, so much that I am leaving my first review ever of MyDramaList.

The acting was amazing, all of them...well except Ji Ling perhaps.
Even if it wasn't BL like the novel ( that I went to read because I just cannot have enough of LWJ and WWX) there is no doubt of the feeling and the author sneaked on so many sweet moment and meaningful symbols. Everyone did an excellent and thorough job in building the story, in the acting, with the music and the cinematic the clothes.....

Sometimes, BL are adapted into screen because everyone have understood by now the value of the genera. But due to the Chinese censorship the meaning of the story sometime is completely lost. Well this is not the case for the Untamed, the director did not try to twist the feelings between LWJ and WWX and the viewer is left in no doubt that they love each other! And so many meaningful moment. Like the scene in which WWX wears the red night gown similar to first wedding night tradition.
I also would like the portrait of the relation between WWX and the family, the love, trust and forgiveness that the sister showed till the very end. I cried so much!!

It is totally worth to watch and re-watch and read.

I am currently unable to pull myself out of the world of the untamed.......so be aware while you watch that you might not be able to recover after the show.
