I’ve succumbed to the peer pressure: Untamed ep 1-5 done. It’s only because my hubby is on a business trip and I have nothing better to do. I’ll save you any gifs or screenshots though. But the more mature, stoic lead is only fracking 22-years-old! How is that even possible? It’s like when I first saw Yoo Jin-Goo in Jackpot/The Royal Gambler and thought he was 30-years-old and he was like 18. 😳
I was watching it while finishing up charts for work and the episodes (after ep 1) are all less than an hour. It zipped along quicker that I expected. I had seen half of the first episode several weeks ago with my husband and he didn’t want to continue, so I was able to skip that too. I’ll probably be able to get another 5 done today as my kids will be at a fall party tonight. And then my husband comes back home and I’ll be watching MY COUNTRY again. It may be a couple more weeks before I get to watch this again (when he goes on another trip). I intermittently binge watch, I guess!
Welcome to The Untamed Club! I struggled with the first few eps, sat on the fence over the next few and at some point and fell into the rabbit hole. Hang on @ally-le it gets better and better!
WYB was only 20 when he started filming The Untamed, he celebrated his 21st birthday on set.
Well, that’s not any better. 😆 I’m terrible at guessing ages of Asian actors in shows. These shows have them acting so much older that their real age. I guess it’s a testament to their skill though! I always think to myself that if my mom had me when she was 20, I could easily be this guy’s (and YJG’s) mother in another life (which is crazy).
I googled both leads before I started the drama. I thought he’s gonna be the typical idol actor plus he looked like totally a kiddo to me. I was so wrong.
If you get into this drama, you will get to enjoy all the awesome BTS that comes with it.
It’s crazy that the one who acts younger is 6 years older then the one who acts older. They both did a phenomenal job though. They both became their characters for me. I couldn’t see anyone else in their roles.
But the first few episodes are confusing. Then they are a little slow as they establish the characters and world and then the obsession hits. I started getting addicted around ep. 15 and then I just got more and more obsessed as the drama progressed.

During my first watch, I had a hard time getting through the first few episodes but wow, you finished 5 already!

You’ll get past the slower parts soon then. It was really hard for me to not press the play button for the episodes after that. 😉

You haven’t even gotten to the good parts yet! You need to hold out until about ep. 15 when all the action starts happening.

Like the BTS of how Xiao Zhan chased poor Wang Yibo around with a ‘cute’ bug on his birthday. They are like brothers 🤣
