It is still amazing to me that The Untamed is Xiao Zhanโs first lead role when he was a relative acting rookie. Depicting Wei Wu Xian with so much dimensionality and making the character his own while satisfying the devoted fan base of the novel Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is an incredible feat especially for someone coming from the idol background who could be easily dismissed. This is a fantastic compilation of XZโs portrayals of the heroโs descend into despair, with the dramaโs own gorgeous instrumental ost.
Chicken symbolizes quite a few things in the Chinese culture -luck, prosperity, courage, faithfulness to name a few! If I remember it correctly in the novel they actually brought the chicken back to the inn much to the dismay of the inn keeper! 😆
@kimbapnoona Oh, thanks for the chicken explanation. I knew it must have some symbolic meaning in Chinese culture but didn’t know what. The luck, courage and faithfulness says it all! And makes this scene a bit more meaningful.
I totally get it, @linda-palapala. Somedays our hearts just cannot endure being ripped out even on most days it would be considered “good” kind of pain.
I remember the pain from Bloody Romance, @linda-palapala. It was too much to bear, so much so that when I heard that the OTP wouldn’t get a happy ending I cowarded my way out of the show. 😅
@kimbapnoona But Bloody Romance, they might have gotten their happy ending. He left clues as to where he was (he didn’t die) so it depends on whether or not she was smart enough to figure out the hidden clues in the poem. He was waiting for her there – but you probably already knew this, right?

I love the chicken scene in the drama and novel. But I still wonder….why chickens? Like you he must want to make sure he is never with out.
His face is extra squishy in the drunk scenes.

But it did make me want to start watching all over again.
(I must have been extra emotional after watching the last episode of Bloody Romance).
