wei wuxian referred to jiang li as senior sister because she was not his own sister by blood but due to them being in the same clan she was his senior sister in the same way as wei wuxian was a senior brother to jiang cheng but due to really less age gap which is less than a year jiang cheng didnt refer to wei wuxian as senior brother much. thats why jiang cheng calls jiang li as sister but wei wuxian call her senior sister.
This series is full of interesting characters and dynamics between them, and the Yunmeng siblings are definitely one of the best out of all of the relationships in this story, platonic/romantic etc. They are all very complex and interesting characters.
Senior sister is the exact term 'cause she's his elder 'martial' sister or 'shi' jie, not his elder sister from a 'family' relationship. You can take this as being a school senior and a sister together. Wuxian was never officially or legally 'adopted' or given the Jiang family name, he was taken in as a direct disciple of Jiang dad. That's why Yanli is his 'shi' jie and Jiang Cheng is his 'shi' di instead of being just jie or di. They're considered more than just that because he was practically fostered in the jiang family as a sibling to them instead of just being schooled and their emotional bond is as strong as a blood bond.
One of my favorite movie. I wish you were watching the full series bc the storyline and characters so good than watching edited videos... Wuxian might be the most selfless character I've ever seen. He sacrifice everything... also Wangji's changing demeanor is very special when he comes back 16 years later.
The subtitles don't go that fast when you're watching this incredible series, but where you said it speed up, THAT was such an important part. That was when Wei made his ultimate, absolute sacrifice!! was made!!! Omg!!!
Basically Senior Sister is a term of honor in China for older sisters. This complication is like watching the entire series without watching it. You get used to the speed of the subs or rewind.
The Untamed is my favorite live action Chinese Drama (from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) Thank you for your reaction! Yunmeng Siblings -Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li are blood siblings , Wei Wuxian the Jiang Sect senior disciple raised with them, extremely talented and selfless thought out novel, my favorite character of all time. I mean who else but Wei Ying , could make Lan Wangji break any of the Lan Sect Rules. I have a soft spot for A-Cheng losing his parents and sister then Wei Wuxian to "demonic cultivation" having to renounce him( even if he didn't do anything wrong). I recommend the Untamed to anyone, great story!
So many stories with all the characters, but it's Beautifully pulled together at the end! YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!!! It's the best series I've ever seen! I keep saying!! 🦁🐰❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚💛❤️💚💛❤️💚💛
This video also reminds us to pay attention to our siblings as well. JC saw it more than YL did, but when they were back at Lotus Pier after the war, WWX was deep in alcoholism and PTSD. JC wanted things to be what they were before the war when WWX said he would be by his side and they would be the Pride of Yunmeng, but for WWX those days were never going to return. He wasn't the same. This drama is all about trauma one generation can dump on the other.
The sacrifice Wei did was to give his step brother his "golden core" extremely painful, and Wei's sword sealed itself. Only one who can unsheathe it was it's true owner. That's why he looks so shocked that he did it. All the truth comes to an incredible climax at the end!!
So glad I know Mandarin. 😂 I would have probably struggled with that rate of subtitles too. I think they were speeded up because of the song loop. Poor Wei Wuxian... he was done so dirty.
The hardest episode for me personally to watch is two characters Song Lan and his best friend Xiao Xingchen. Omg, that'll RIP your heart out! So much goes unseen. This series still today is highly rated. And you talk about the music. Wait until you hear the music (sounstrack) of this series. It's insanely beautiful!!! The love call song from Lan Wangji to Wei is the main one. It's my ringtone!! And the subtitles don't go by that fast when you're watching it. Have fun! It's my absolute favorite all time series!!
Wuchien gave up his " golden core" to save his brother (cousin) from dying ,so he basically was a shell of himself..until he was brought back and learned the dark arts.
JC wouldn’t have died, unless he committed suicide or led a self destructive existence because he could no longer cultivate. I WuXian’s sacrifice seemed one of love and one of service to Family- he promised to give everything, even his life to protect his siblings.
Just one thing about the names, because throughout most of the storyline Jiang Wanyin is referred to by the lathis birth name - Jiang Cheng - it sounds like the correct name to use for him is the latter. His courtesy name, Wanyin is the more polite one to use in the same way that it is more polite to use Wuxian and Yanli for the other two siblings. While not something you would have actually done in that time period it is definitely more polite to use courtesy rather than given names.
The battle was actually fake/ a set up between the brothers to protect the Jiang clan from the repercussions of Wei Wuxian's actions, which the video didn't fully show in the editing. Great reaction as always
all the relationship and character are complicated its not a 1 watch series as everytime you watch things get deeper and deeper meaning and complicated additions to the characters the minute expressions and actions you dont see on your first watch as the beauty of the actors the costuming and sets and the surface tale blind everyone to the depths to the weavings of backstories and underlying stories and the depths of the characters reasons learning some of chinese historical lores weaves even more richness lol i had to watch many fanvids to realise simple actions and items snuck in and flashes that 1st watcher always go that was weird and pass it by as nothing probly have a reason to be there :D
So far I've watched the series several times, and on every rewatch I see new little details or subtext that escaped my notice before. This amazing show is a very deep "rabbit hole" and once you fall down into it you may never find your way out!
Lol yeah I don’t love that song and I can’t even tell if it was looped or it actually goes that long - but the song does fit the Yunmeng siblings very wellllll 😢😢
Hi could you do “Alex & Henry - Their Story [Red, White & Royal Blue]” movie reaction. It’s about US President’s son Alex & UK’s Prince Henry queer love story
