10 is not enough to rate this masterpiece

100/10 for the rewatchability.

Rare are the moments that we find such gem in the sea of dramas. I was very very cautious starting this. I don't really like costume dramas, and BL is not really my thing, but there was some spell that changed everything in me.

The lightness of the start, even though it began with WWX dying. But all the happening in the Mo Mansion was so light that already gave roundness to the protagonist bubbly personality made me push into knowing what else is there in the cultivation world.

It was amazing to find idol actors who really can star their roles like this. I honestly didn't think I would like Yibo in here as I didn't like him so much in his other hetero dramas LOL. But he was born to play Lan Wang Ji. The grace. The presence. Just the mere presence is enough. I can imagine the producers looking at him come through that door and say, we found Lan Zhan! And it actually happened. I saw in one interviews of Yang Xia that they really didn't think they will find someone to cast for Lan Wangji. Through pictures they passed Yibo twice already, but when he came in the audition, it was really the end of it. The coldness without the arrogance. The reticence. And Xiao Zhan, my dear Xiao Zhan. I've seen him in Oh My Emperor, and I liked him. But in here, he simply owned the show.

The contents of the story is so intricately made. If somebody is reading this review, and has not watched this, please please do yourselves a favor and try. Everything works in here. The story and the casts are amazing.

Like the others who have convinced me to watch this, yes, I'm eating my words now, I may also find it hard to get over this drama. And its very rare to find something like this if you've been a drama watcher for 15 years or so.

I love The Untamed!
