Hi, I’m one of the million people who watch it so many times ( by the way still watching it)for me the Untamed is best drama ever, it’s superb in any angles, love the Wuji song, the piano and the flute is mesmerising, and the chemistry of the two gorgeous boys is out of this world, love I love it 💋🥰😍love it

All of dramas I've watched must say The untamed is the best I now binges rewatch 5 times and counting can't get out of guzu land ,trying others dramas but i rather go back and rewatch the untamed so glad that I'm not alone lol

2020 It is still POPULAR

Been rewatching the untamed perhaps more than 100times Im so addicted the chemistry of wang yibo and xiao zhan Congratulations to cast of untamed Indeed the most popular bl drama till now❤ Happy Chinese new year marcus

Just finished my 6th rewatch of The Untamed this week. Watched both on big tv screen on Netflix and on laptop. The theme song WangXian/Refrain its melody so hauntingly zen-like, nerve calming never enuf of listening. A beautiful composition by Lin Hai. Play the musical track followed by songs of various singers almost every a.m. of the day to revive/evoke the nostalgia of several poignant scenes espc betwn WY and LZ, WY and his snr. Jiejie (the song A-Xian). Will def rewatch when missing them grips me!

I was debating if I wanted to watch it thinking it was a gay drama, not my cup of tea! But I couldn’t find anything better to watch so I gave it a chance and instantly fell in love with it, especially the 2 main male lead 🥰. I still go back and re-watch whenever I have nothing else to watch 👍🏼

Not only the UnTamed that I’ve watched ten times or more, but also the animated version. I can never get over it

It’s 2023 already and I’ve just got to watch the untamed!! It was incredible and I’ve already rewatched it twice 🥹

I loved this drama, binge watched the whole 50 episodes in 2 days

My COVID memories will be full of WangXian 😁

I'm one of those people out of many millions who love this so much and have rewatch it about 10 times already or even more than that 😆.It's really so amazing and I love the characters so much, glad it's on netflix now. Ahhhhh.

Yes,, i am very agree. This film is really surprissed the movie beginning stories, actors at multitallen support, costumed at good performance etc I'm very2 happy every watching this drama CQL thank you so much for all supported about this drama i can't move on

i watch The Untamed 7 times and i didnt get bored of it :/

I’m waiting until I forget what happens and then I will watch it again :)

Before I watch this video, I want to say that this story is just amazing! I watched the show four months ago, then I read the original novel, and rewatched it a few times. I'm 25 years old and I'm just overwhelmed by all of this. I've never watched a full Chinese tv show before (I'm very fond of costume dramas, I've tried two or three Chinese shows but it was all just not for me, boring, sorry). The charm of the characters and their fates do not give me rest, I can say that I love them all. I think the aesthetics of the show was at a high level, it is impossible not to pay attention to all these details. I know it could have been better if they had a bigger budget (you all know what points I'm talking about). The acting was beautiful, they deserved all the compliments, but the most important thing is the story itself - the main reason to rewatch! I've been crying inside about it for too long and created a lil blog about the show/novel on one of the social platforms a month ago. Ancient Chinese men stole my life and I'm grateful.

I love this Drama and i have rewatched it so many times❤️❤️

I actually started watching The Untamed so I really appreciate this video.

I know I'm late but gosh i have repeated it for more than 10 times my heart

Xiao zhan is really really great actor... the way he act is so perfect... i love chinesse drama... tbh lots of Chinese drama good...but the prob is eng sub alots of international fan hope they put eng sub...

If I don’t have anything to watch, I go back and watch Untamed again.

Will binge watch soon... I need time to prepare my heart for Yi City arc/ episodes... it hurts too much

I love watching The Untamed for every reason u said; from the subtle bl romance between WWX and LWJ, to the nice, traditional flute music (I also agree that his flute playing doesn't match, but it didnt rlly bother me as much bc I think XiaoZhan faked it pretty well). One thing I think u could've mentioned is the complex story, and the tragic sacrifice for love/destiny, such as for XueYang, or JinYiXuan which I find so heartbreaking. Overall, I love watching The Untamed and I def recommend bc every time I watch it, I always discover something new.

Moral of the story: love is love and must never be underestimated just because the love story is between two men.

Also the concept of "mob mentality". Hi I'm huge fan of XZ and not to forget a fan of your channel. Yes, guilty here, can't move on from " the untamed". All the best & good luck.

2020 may still POPULAR

ahmmmm.. I lost count on the number of times I've rewatched it 👀👀 😂😂

OMG I love this drama

I first read the book, and as a fujoshi I obviously love it so much. And not just that, the characters had so much depth, the romance was amazing, and the plot was so great. And the drama actually managed to pull off the novel bcc they knew that without the original fanbase of fujoshis they wouldn't make enough money. I loved it

Oh I have watched it 4 times and I love it also read the book 3 times I'm on my 4th time so worth watching and reading 📖was 🔥🔥🔥

M gonna go watch it again... This is cycle for me.... Watch watch watch...

I have watched more than 5 time👍 Fev the untamed❤

Well, I've watched The Untamed for 11th times already. It's been 3 weeks already that I decided to somehow move on because I'm so into it, but somehow still watching some video clips on RU-vid. Maybe I'll rewatch it after Christmas and New Year. Well, since I don't know the real story of the book I just watched them as having strong friendship not really as romance. Actually, as I was watching it more than 10x, I was really remembering some parts of the story that's almost similar to The Hobbit series, it's also my favorite. Also, the friendship part is like The Hunter x Hunter a Japanese anime...well, just relating some of my analyses of the Untamed to these two great series also.

I CANT GET OVER IT

Wei Ying, come back to Gusu with me

Yes... I intend to watch it again. I also love the drama .. Ashes of Love. Seen it 5x. Ice Fantasy 4x. Can you give Amy more of those kind of tv dramas? Thanks.

It still is. Lol. I just watched episode 1-6!!!

Untamed popular because love and mantra

I’m one of those persons that has been re watching the drama for 5 or 10 times 😝

I was one of the people who specifically asked Marcus to make this video too. Yes I really like The Untamed's story, the two leads and the supporting characters and the music. I really like WWX, he's very multidimensional.

At first i told myself to only watch the first episode than I got addicted so I watched all the 50 episodes in 3 days but couldn't get enough I decided to read the novel, comic and even watch the animation version. Watch at your own risk this is addicting 👀 And I'm still not over it 😭

A total rewatching addict. Mostly because I kept discovering more novel Easter eggs. They Didn’t leave Anything to interpretation once you know what to look for. So many references to not to subtle scenes in the book etc. It’s glorious how much they got past censorship just because it wasn’t in your face or too obvious. I want to watch it again but my friend recommended princess silver so I really should get on that. XD

1st - BL Boy Love❤😘 drama 2nd - based on a BL novel named as "Grand master of the demonic Cultivation" 3rd - it's characters already has a huge fan base. 4th - the story is captivating because of the two characters are very charming😍 5th - story is made for all , isn't just bl but ultimate bromance 6th - OST is key, you gotta love the duet between wang yi bo and xaio zhan.... These are few of the key reasons why it works💪

I'm moving on, In a circle.👏👌

To be honest, I've actually watched selected episodes of the series around 10 times... I don't know why.

The untamed is one of the best series I’ve ever watched, trust me. The entire cast was amazing with the acting and the lead actors portrayed such a beautiful chemistry.

Believe or not i rewatched 5 times😍😂

Besides being incredibly gay, which was the sole reason I first watched it for; I can say it impressed me in many more areas. Let me count some of them for you. - Great integration of both fantastic elements and mystery / crime elements - A+ Character development - Multidimensional characters - Impressive and aesthetically pleasing visual effects, costumes, design, craftsmanship, etc - Detail. So much detail - GREAT ACTING and ACTORS/ACTRESSES. I've seen behind the scenes videos of them practicing the instruments that they play in the show, practicing fight scene choreography. So much effort has gone into it. - Interesting storyline. I personally love how everything was connected to the flashbacks and those were not just used to develop the romantic story. - Also, gay. Yes. That's the most important thing. I could sense multiple lgbt+ couples in the show. There was some kind of chemistry between Zewu Jun and Jin Guangyao, as well as Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan too. Don't think they were just very close friends. So wangxian wasn't the token gay couple, haha. Anyway, this is my interpretation of it. I have enjoyed this terribly. I started with the manga, and now that I've watched the series as well, I'm planning to consume any and every single version of the MDZS universe and then re-consume it all over again.

Beside the story and the almost perfect set, The other reason why The Untamed is so popular is no other than the Chemistry of the two male leads. Whether they are Fujoshi or just straight fans, no one can deny the good chemistry between the two male leads. How they can bring the character alive. And since it's from BL novel adaption, I have to praise the crew for their hard work to be able to embrace both straight fans and couple fans. While the couple Shippers see them as romantic partners, the straight fans can see them as a very best friend who protect each other and walking together to whenever the chaos. Aren't the meaning of best friend similar with lover? Best friend is someone who can accept for whoever you are. And isn't that what should a true love do? I even start losing count to how many times I've watched it. Haha.

I lost count that how many times I watched The Untamed, is still can’t move on , Help!

I'm curious how popular is this internationally? Because I'm in the USA and I know people are crazy over it! I still cant move on so I rewatch it every once in a while

Need to explain why people would watch it so many times! For me, the mystery part kept me watch the 2nd time to get all the hints happened in the beginning. While watching the 2nd time, the tragic story line kicked in. All the emotion started to build up with each character. Then the 3rd time just to hang on to the emotions the characters expressed and still the story line was so intriguing with each characters. Found so many scenes that is more emotional then I thought b4. Then 4th times, I got into little details of how the story and the scenes reflect social agenda and how each character deal with the problems. Still after you know the story from watching it so many times, the acting carries the story and still find it so interesting at 4th/5th times. After a little break with researching and watching all the behind scenes and the actor's history, still came back to investigate each actor's acting in the Untamed. Now may be the 6th times, the acting and the story are still enjoyable. Still cried at least 3 times each episode from episode 25 to 33. Still surprised myself with the scenes I cried over the first time while watching it again. Just too much sorrow in each character...all the deepest emotion you can get as a human being... and the great acting brought out the emotion so well with all the dynamics of facial expression and body motion that is worse investigate deeply from your heart to interact with it. This is epic!!!

Lost count how many times I rewatch it, even until now still can't move on

As of this moment, I’m currently rewatching this drama. Taking a break after watching episode 33 (too tragic!) and happened to catch your new update! Thanks for doing a separate video for this! It really shows how popular The Untamed is! Honestly I came to love and appreciate this show more after a second rewatch. The plot isn’t much to rave about until the second arc of the story, that’s where all the mysteries ties in, but it’s truly the characters that made this drama come alive! Never thought I’d root for 2 guys, but their chemistry is undeniable and explosive and oh so delicious! Hope to see XZ an WYB collaborate again soon ! ❤️

Hi Marcus! Thank you for the new update. I loved watching The Untamed while it was on air. I loved the 2 leads, but I have to admit that it was Xiao Zhan's portrayal of Wei Wu Xian that got me hooked. I read the manhua and watched the anime before I watched the live action drama. I was a bit skeptical when it first started since I had the manhua and anime as reference -- I was happy that they did a good job of translating it into the live action drama.

1. The Untamed won the Asian drama of the year 2019 ( Starmometer poll ) 2. Wuji / Unrestrained OST sung by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo won song of the year at Kugou Golden Song Music Awards 3. Unrestrained OST was awarded for Hit song of the year at the Tencent Music Awards 4. The Untamed rank 1st as the most watched drama of the year by Tencent 5. Xiao Zhan won Asian Drama Actor of the Year 2019 ( Starmometer poll ) Congratulations to all the cast and crew of The Untamed , there are lots of awards pouring in , cheers :-)

THE UNTAMED IS THE BEST DRAMA XIAO ZHAN WANG YIBO BEAUTIFUL COUPLE 👍👍😊😊❤❤

How many times are you going to rewatch this? Me: yes

This drama is seriously THE BEST! I can't wait for "Heaven's Official Blessing" drama to come out! (Heaven's Offical Blessing is another BL novel created by the same author that did Mo Dao Zu Shi [The Untamed]!!!)

I’m a huge fan of wang yibo I kinda missed Uniq

I think (in my opinion) what we love about "The Untamed" is that the story just doesn't revolve around Wei Ying and Lan Zhan another character story were exposed not that much but it will give you an idea about their character. The moral lesson also and of course the great portrayal of both actors to the character, they really give justice to them.

I've watched this drama 7 times! and the bts of this drama is saved on my computer! Hardly moved on from this... Thanks for featuring this, Marcus! It's much appreciated! Cheers!!!

Because : Fujoshi's No but all joking aside it was a great adaptation.Costumes, acting , execution.Most BL novels when adapted turn into absolute crap.The only other BL adaptation that was able to somewhat effectively do what untamed did was Guardian.

There is a lot of Romantic stuff happen in the drama. You just need to pay attention. The way they look at each other, Wei Ying teasing, Lan Zhan love sick expression, Lan Zhan get jealous, Lan Zhan protect Wei Ying, Lan Zhan get a mark on his back and his chest after Wei Ying die. The most important of all no female love interest for any of them.

The Untamed is a chinese drama worth rewatching. I myself is watchig The Untamed again. I just love The Untamed!😊😊😊😊

Wei Ying Lang Zhan almost 4 months *Chen Qing Ling* was ended but i can't still move on. Stuck in my heart like the first time i watched.

it's NOT ABOUT A GOOD DRAMA it's ABOUT A GOOD CHEMISTRY OF THE ACTORS XIAO ZHAN and WANG YIBO really did well on this drama

Watched it 5 times from beginning to end. And still have the urge to watch again on wetv

Thanks for a whole clip on The Untamed. Confession: Yes still an addict of CQL & am those rewatching nth time. The Untamed: it is huge & now has more & more international fans. From being a Kpop fan now I’m a fan of Xiao Zhan. The actors & story are captivating.

It is now July 2021, and The Untamed is still very popular. I still can't get over them especially with the two lead characters.

Xiao Zhan is the key od this drama with his great expressions of feelings . You can feel how he suffer, has fun and being angry . He shows us a lot od different emotions

i watched because i saw xiao zhan's smile :) it is so sweet and makes me feel so happy and warm

LOVE YOU XIAO ZHAN WANG YIBO THE UNTAMED IS MY NUMBER ONE ⭐🌟👑👑

Thank you, Marcus for helping the non-Chinese speakers learn about the Chinese entertainment. The translation is simple and well summarized. I, as a non-Chinese speaker, really appreciate your hard work and time.

I binge watch #THEUNTAMED a lot of times and it is 1000% worth it... Awesome Story... I'm also hooked because of the STORY ITSELF... and at the same time reading the translated novel...

The untamed was my first Chinese drama that I watched and what I really loved and didn't expect was that all dark and demonic wasn't evil work ,I really loved this aspect and didn't expect from Asian drama , beautifully written story

until now im still watching UNTAMED everyday....thanks marcus for updting always my baby XIAOZHAN and WANGYIBO....miss THEM much..actually im still waiting the season2 of UNTAMED kht malabong mangyri

I just finished watching the untamed the other night. I'm planning to watch it again for the purpose of rewatching with more attention on the subtle expressions of the lead characters.

Is it rewatchable? Well I'd have to say yes, since its 2021 and I'm still watching it.

Untamed is really good drama ,I have never this drama in past .this is so good I like this drama alot.i like untamed theme song and actors also acting so good I will never forget this drama This is my favourite series 💕💕💕💕💕

The story is so unique and beautiful. and you will love all the casts even the villains.

Loved xiao zhan in the untamed.... yes people say it right that once you watch the untamed, it’s actually addicting and you not only fall for xiao zhan but you won’t be able to watch anything else for a good good while.... personal experience

I like Wang yibo very much.

I am someone who's seen The Untamed, read the novel The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and watched two seasons of Mo Dao Zu Shi. I am also a fan of Xiao Zhan since Fights Break Sphere. Now, I will say this, the first 10 episodes are a bit slow. It was said that it's because the actors were not familiar with the original material and therefore didn't understand their characters well enough to portray. This is where the novel can come in handy. Now if you're watching Chinese dramas, it's safe to assume that you would be aware that BL related stuff is heavily censored. So the director had to cut those scenes between the leads but seriously someone would have to be blind to not see those longing glances and the smiles. For me, I started feeling it when they stared at each other in the cave. It was mere seconds but I saw the sparks. I thought " This is it". I liked it and I have rewatched it.

I rewatched 10x hahaha i don't know either but i have to admit that this is my very first time loving drama so much. Watch and rewatched.😍

I just want a 2nd season! I think they can do it because at the end it kinda left an open window for more. And I don't think it would flop because the show it's actually getting bigger in my opinion, with a larger audience. I don't know if that is realistic because I haven't seen a lot of chinese dramas with more than one season. But the acting and the writing was seriously fanfuckintastic. The music was heavenly and the whole cast was perfect. One of the best shows I've seen period.

me after watching every possible videos about the untamed: *nooo noh i had enough of it* youtube: *here is another video about the untamed* me: *OMMGMGGGGG A NEW ONEEE I GOTTA CLICK IT RIGHT NOW. I GOTTA WATCH IT*

The actors' beauty and talent are mesmerizing. Also the story is so rich in emotion. It makes you laugh then catch your breath over and over throughout the series.

Loved the themes. The exploration of the complexities of good vs evil, injustice and hypocrisy, family, and of course love.

I binged and rewatched The Untamed twice (so watched it three times and second and third time was with reactors who did reactions 1-50 full reaction). Best tv drama until now, there won’t be a better one any time soon for me. Don’t know why it was so good, but I watched so many BT’s and fan videos about the two main leads and I couldn’t watch another tv show for 2 months. Now I’m watching anime I can’t even get into Chinese drama’s because they don’t match my expectations anymore... once I tasted heaven now I only want heaven nothing less 😢😭😭 I need 4 months and maybe I can get into Chinese costume drama’s again. I’m waiting for Sword Dynasty and Legend of Fei

Still rewatching. :) as soon as I think I will watch something else I return to scrolling on RU-vid for more the untamed related content now watching animation mo dao zu shi:) everything was captivating about the drama I stumbled on netflix by accident and I guess it part of my life :)

I have to agree with your insight as far as if the untamed is worth for binge watching. I personally have seen it three times and may see it again. To be honest when it came out I watched it but gave up half way because it was just airing and the episodes were uploaded weekly. But when I saw how many people commented on how good it was I went right back and started to watch it again. I recommend 100%. Thank you for your explanations of the dramas as always. Cheers

Yes the untamed one of the best drama ever all cause of yibo and zhan .the 2 play at a lover and very repectful way .as I has seen quite a few time over and over and never get sick of it. Seen untamed I has flowing yibo and zhan every where and every clips any one post about yibo and zhan I will drop everything and watch it first. This two young man gone thru shit in there life hard worker and faith bring them together. They are meant to be together. Thank you for telling us about our beloved boys .keep it up thank you..all the way from Australia here

I watch every one of your videos generally, but when I see the name of The Untamed, I can't help but watch it immediately. I am glad you did this separate segment regarding this drama so that people who haven't watched it yet would consider to give it a try. This drama is seriously such a treat to watch, not watching it means missing out on a great series. The cast did such an amazing job though they are mainly rookies. The story remained quite true to the original source which is a great delight. Thank goodness they did not show any unnecessary love line between Wei Ying and Wen qing. I fell in love with the explosive chemistry of the male leads, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. I am quite satisfied with how their relationship is portrayed in the drama. Though they could not show any explicit scene because of the censorship, but it was more than evident that their relationship went beyond only friendship or brotherhood. Overall this drama blowed my mind away so bad, that I still can't get over it. At last, thanks Marcus for this segment 😊😊.

Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo read the entire novel and successfully delivered the quality chemistry. Just a beautiful romance between two men without any explicit scene. Also Not only these two but also others' stories are there too. And full of philosophy.

The untamed Made me a into a huge fan of chinese drama..The chemistry of the two main leads is superb! Many Kpop fans turned into xiao zhan and wang yibo fans..

I already watch 3 times, and I am just began to rewatching again 😁. Love the cast and the story.I don't care about CGI.

This drama has captivated my heart so hard. I just love it. I’m not into BL stuff and was skeptical about watching the drama. After reading some reviews and watching some fmv I decided to give it a try. I start the drama but with the thought of not finishing it if it was uncomfortable for my taste. But honestly, I was hooked after the first episode. And I have watched the drama 4 times already. I know is not gonna be the last time either. Love how you can feel every single emotion from Wei Ying through Xiao Zhan’s acting. And you think Lan Zhan is a stone face but the little facial expressions captivate you. I love how Wang Yibo portrayed Lan Zhan. The cast of this drama was amazing. The writers, directors, producers, etc did an excellent job. The drama is almost the same as the novel. I love how you can feel and see their relationship and love without any kiss or explicit scenes. It was depicted better than other dramas with female and male leads romance. And even more amazingly is from China. They can make a season 2 and many people will love it. For me they can pair Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo again and I’ll be extremely happy. Thanks for the vid!

I'm currently rewatching for the 7x ..the best of all the best drama ..#YiZhan😍

Worth to rewatch it,,I'm the avid fan of untamed,,,,I love it very much I can't get over to this drama,,,xaio zhan and Wang yibo did a great job to portray there roles,,,,,😍😘😍😘😍😘😍 WEIYING😍LANZHAN,,,,,
