30 Day Drama Challenge. Day 6. Best Female Lead: Go Hye Ran
She was so flawed but very strong, determined, admirable, and inspiring…
Honorary mentions: Kim Sun-a as Jenny Jang (actually I like KSA in any role I’ve ever watched), Lee Young-ae as Jang-geum
Omg! I share this experience with you!
I used to have recording of this on VHS and watching them again n again! It was like a door to a whole new world!
I sat in the dark n cried my eyes out when Su-hyung died! Jang Dong-gun looked soOo gorgeous in that drama!
Seriously, The Untamed ruined my expectation of Drama Visuals forever… Since I watched The Untamed everything (and everyone #sorrynotsorry) looks so dull…
I can’t help you with any recommendations because I need help myself! 😛 But yes, the visuals are so beautiful! My favorite visual has to be Young Wei Ying in white robes – so innocent, so cute~
(but maybe give Diary of a Prosecutor a try? it’s the opposite of what I associated with the Untamed, but I’m enjoying watching the characters immensely!)
Kdrama “My Holo Love” was able to keep my interest and attention (a large part, because of the low episode count, just 12 episodes), and Cdrama “Fairyland Lovers” was good—but not amazing or brilliant lol—(but this one, you really need to give it a chance to get to the end of Episode 1 before it gets interesting) ☺️☺️
I know a few Cdrama/TWdrama watching Beanies have recently started or finished watching TW dramas “Yong Jiu’s Grocery Store” & “Some Day or One Day” and really loved it 😊 Some highly recommended them
Right now Itaewon Class has my attention.
Visually I find it appealing, it looks like a comic book. Complex characters especially with the 2 FLs. Also, a transgender character that so far is being treated with respect.
For me, it was Joy of Life that finally brought me to enjoy another drama. I always love a good and complicated court intrigues, and having Xiao Zhan playing a minor role in that helped a lot too. Besides, Zhang Ruoyun’s awesome acting won me over within the first 4 or so eps.
It took me a long 6-7 months before I could properly watch a c or k drama. I ended reading all 3 of MXTX’s novelS during this time and a couple of other BL novels. Then I slowly watched one drama at a time.
Of the dramas I watched, I do recommend Joy of Life. At least check out the first episode. It is a lot of fun.
I absolutely love the blue color scheme.
Nothing compares. But I thoroughly enjoyed Taiwan’s SOME DAY OR ONE DAY. It just finished and was good all the way thru the end. Loved the musical score too. My 2nd favorite drama after Untamed.
I watched thru ep 28 or so but now I’m going to have to start over b ecause Viki took so long to sub it I forgot a lot. I did watch the ending, since I already knew how it was going to end. But the episodes I watched were humorous, which Zhang Ruoyun can pull off very well, and they were excellently done. The only drawback is the weird cliffhanger at the end, which we’re told don’t worry, but it was just a weird ending since they hadn’t even started a 2nd season.
I will say that I think there is ONE drama that I feel can go against all the pretty-ness of the “Untamed”, and that is “Ashes Of Love” 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Not to say that one drama beats out the other, but it is to say that, imo, BOTH dramas are up there in the visuals department 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
@persianrose! I feel you…I managed to watch a couple of shows since.
My recommendations:
C dramas – Joy of Life, Finding Yourself. The former is one of the better period dramas out there and the latter is a modern noona romance which is miles better than any noona rom kdrama I’ve seen. It tackles many modern issues that women face. Fun and meaningful
TW dramas – Some Day, One Day and Sandstorm. The former is a time travel, doppelganger romance. You know this genre often ends up in a mess but not this one. The latter is more like a family sitcom, totally wacky but does have meaningful takes on relationships and life.
No kdrama – the slump is real.
Currently rewatching Nirvana In Fire(C drama) with peeps on discord.
Wow, we have similar taste!! I haven’t seen all that’s on your list but Sandstorm and NIF are both super high on my list of favorites!
I’ve rewatched NIF 4 times along with Season 2 lol.
I need to start over with Joy of Life. Subs took too long and I forgot stuff. So you rec’d Finding Yourself? Okay, I’ll try again… SomeDay/One Day, omg 2nd best drama after Untamed. I’m watching it again… Sandstorm? It’s taking Viki forever to sub it so I gave up. Now I’ll try again! I do respect your opinion on dramas. Except for NIF, I just couldn’t get into it, but I loved NIF2 (go figure, as I’m the only one who liked it better).
Come to think of it, there’s j-drama I’ve now watched 4 times “The Novelist” which really should be titled “The Pornographer”. Don’t know why, but I find it tenderhearted, subtly humorous and I love the OST. It’s only 6 episodes/20 minutes each. I’m going to watch it again.
The quality edit on that IG post though! I would love to watch The Untamed again with this filter *___*
I’m currently watching Put Your Head On My Shoulder. It’s a light watch. Lots of cute moments. Just what I need during our community lockdown.
If we are talking about the not-too-big age difference between XZ & WYB, then yes, it’s cute…. But if we’re referring to the 16 year age difference between WY & LZ—assuming that WY never aged in the 16 years he was gone, then not so much 😅😅😅😅
I just want to protect what you’ve given me with all my heart
The little things about us are everything to me
Even if our memories become blurred
I won’t forget our beginnings
Once you learn to face loneliness, there’s no turning back
Because of your smile, I won’t be let down
Regardless of how hard it gets in the future
As long as you’re by my side, I’ll be satisfied
I love this song that he’s made and dedicated to his fans, and what I love more is just how much weight and emphasis he chooses to put onto this song and how he always remembers to go back to it from time to time when he knows and feels like he needs a reality check and to bring himself back down to earth on the midst of all the craziness and all the glitz and glamor
Haha, I’m not sure how we can actually protect him?!! Being an Asian celebrity in the crazy world of media and paparazzi and obsessed fans… It must be really overwhelming!! Let’s just have a faith that he can tackle all the difficulties and challenges on the way of achieving his dreams 🤞🤞🤞
Anybody realised that they change The Untamed ending in special episode 20? So WWX moved in with LWJ at the end!!
they named the final episode "wangxian" and gave us the original ending cql rly kicked censorship in the face n said wangxian gay pic.twitter.com/R7iic51zLk
I haven’t had the chance to see the full 20 ep special. I’m hoping to get through them soon now that we’re on community lockdown. I’m still watching a lot of BTS footage. The never ending behind the scenes! OMG.
I had read a theory and watched an interview in which one of them said that the waterfall scene was the original ending. It seems it was true. Much better.
Now I believe that all those CQL fan speculations are ABSOLUTELY true! Yes, they changed the sequence of events in the original version because of censorship… but they used the right sequence in the special edition for international fan
I thought the waterfall scene was meant to be the ending when I watched it the first time. Now it’s validated and that’s where I’m going to stop.
Guess at some point I’ll have to try the special edition.
Any of you had enough of Untamed yet?? Not me.
@linda-palapala the wording wasn’t changed much, mainly the events sequence was changed: after they separated at top of the hill, LWJ went back to Gusu to become the Gusu Lan chef cultivator (i.e. to have authority to bring WWX to Gusu)… at the end WWX and LWJ moved back to Gusu… the waterfall scene and a reminder to their oath is the last scene…
Yes, like in the novel they move back to Gusu and WWX takes up housekeeping and training the boys.
I love how you say the waterfall scene is a reminder to their oath and that’s the last scene. That’s much more special.
Do you mean the words in the ending credits in this IG video? They are thanking the author of the novel MDZS for giving life to these characters and may they(WY and LZ) have their wishes fulfilled from now on.
Ah, thanks! So that was the same as this clip… “May they have their wishes fulfilled…” almost cry-worthy.
I’d actually re-arranged this whole last sequence in my head from the first watch, and now it’s validated!
The focus of the fanfic is on Lan XIchen but it mentions Lan Zhan and Wei Ying’s wedding. The writer shares the same view I had about the practicalities of LZ and WY living together. I think they will come to a common place or compromise but it isn’t something which just easily falls into place.
Hahaha he was still oblivious to his feeling:
GDC Chapter 11: “Wei WuXian was definitely not stunned and unable to avert his gaze because he was looking at a bathing beauty!! No matter how beautiful he was, he wouldn’t actually be ‘attracted to men’!! Really, it was the things on the person’s back that made him unable to avert his gaze. There were dozens of intersecting scars.”
C’mon…. The same branding scar that Lan Zhan inflicted onto himself (T……….T) would have done SOMETHING to Wei Ying’s heart, would it not????
….Obviously, I STILL have not read the novel and have only managed to complete 1 page of the manhwa because I don’t want it to end!!!!!!! I feel like if I complete everything– the drama, the donghua, the manga, the novel– then it will REALLY be time for me to say goodbye, BUT I DON’T WANT TO OMG OMG OMG
*goes to corner to pout and cry like a child…. particularly a 3-year old child* 😏
Hahaha… I finished everything twice or thrice but I still can’t say goodbye… I know this is not really healthy… but I CANNOT move on!! This is not helping that both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are doing an performance almost every single day…
Here’s how I let go: certainly not “cold turkey”. I’ve been able to start watching other dramas, but also get my daily dose of Untamed medicine, by watching – not favorite scenes or from beginning to end – but a story arc, like right now it’s funny because I watched the same scenes today and then saw this post!
@linda-palapala
I’ve been doing the same…. Moved and finished 1 whole other drama and started another one 2 days ago, but have returned back to “The Untamed” from time to time to watch random episodes 🙂
I don’t know… Kdramas are so generous to show abs and more, not sure why the Untamed PD was so stingy… Now I feel like such a pervert watching the special edition to find the censored scenes
😂😂😂
Haha if that makes you a pervert @persianrose, I don’t know what to appropriately call myself who read the extra chapters of MDZS before starting the novel……heh….
I like you’re confession @kimbapnoona … It makes me feel better!! Xiao Zhan recently won an award of “Heartthrob Actor”… It really made me feel less guilty that everyone confirms that he excites immature romantic feelings in most of women, we’re not alone 😳😳😳
I— I also admit to reading the extra chapters first /runs away/
/comes back for brief explanation/
In my defense, it’s because I was lured by a youtube comment pertaining to said chapters. I.HAD.TO.KNOW.WHAT.HAPPENED.
Okay, I wasn’t planning on watching the Untamed special edition…
Are there more like this??
Funny you should post today – I’ve just been watching ep 34 and the piggyback ride.
And I was just reading an article that mentioned one thing I didn’t know. When they did their bows in the Ancestor Hall, only married couples do that together (or something like that). I hadn’t realized…
Yup!! The drama toned it down and made it seem like Wei Ying was just bringing a close friend–his confidant– to pay respects to the ancestors, but we know that it actually has a double meaning to it :))))
I had previously heard the bows were the 3 bows in the marriage ceremony. But this latest post said the fact both of them were together in going into the Ancestor Hall and bowing together was something only married couples did together. So I was a bit surprised.
The other things they mentioned I already knew about: significance of the headband; what the rabbits signified and the chickens.
In Buddhist tradition, three bows are given during the paying of respects (just like this scene, but we know that it’s actually hinting at a marriage ceremony… dang censorship) and offerings– it’s just a part of the tradition, with or without a friend/partner/spouse, there’s just different variations of it:
Simply bow 3 times, bowing 3 times with incense in hand then offering said incense to the deceased, bowing 3 times on all 4s (2 hands & on your knees), bowing 3 times on all 4s with palms of hands lifted up or faced down (differs in time period…)
If it were a full on marriage ceremony, the 3 bows is sliiiiiiightly different:
Bow #1: Facing outward and bowing to the heavens
Bow #2: Facing family (most of the time, it’s the parents of the couple who are seated)
Bow #3: Facing each other
Ya, what they did aren’t marriage bows. The bows they do in the drama is typical to show respect to someone. Nothing special or hidden in what they did that shows marriage.
But he could also be saying that simply because Xiao Zhan is China’s “it” guy right now for everything, not because he thinks XZ is fit for the role 🤔🤔🤔
Lee Joon Gi always wanted to do psychopath role, and I’m glad that he got his wish… also the plot sounds very intriguing… LJG & MCW really deserve a good drama after that Criminal of a Mess

persianrose❤️战哥
February 4, 2020 at 4:23 PM
@linda-palapala the wording wasn’t changed much, mainly the events sequence was changed: after they separated at top of the hill, LWJ went back to Gusu to become the Gusu Lan chef cultivator (i.e. to have authority to bring WWX to Gusu)… at the end WWX and LWJ moved back to Gusu… the waterfall scene and a reminder to their oath is the last scene…
Linda Palapala
February 4, 2020 at 4:42 PM
Yes, like in the novel they move back to Gusu and WWX takes up housekeeping and training the boys.
I love how you say the waterfall scene is a reminder to their oath and that’s the last scene. That’s much more special.
Linda Palapala
February 4, 2020 at 4:45 PM
But what was the wording? There are chinese characters after the last scene – what does it say?

Do you mean the words in the ending credits in this IG video? They are thanking the author of the novel MDZS for giving life to these characters and may they(WY and LZ) have their wishes fulfilled from now on.
Linda Palapala
February 4, 2020 at 5:37 PM
Ah, thanks! So that was the same as this clip… “May they have their wishes fulfilled…” almost cry-worthy.
I’d actually re-arranged this whole last sequence in my head from the first watch, and now it’s validated!

This ending is angst free and lovely but I still think the drama ending is realistic for reasons I put in my fanwall post.
A discord beanie just shared this fan fic yesterday https://archiveofourown.org/works/22530670
The focus of the fanfic is on Lan XIchen but it mentions Lan Zhan and Wei Ying’s wedding. The writer shares the same view I had about the practicalities of LZ and WY living together. I think they will come to a common place or compromise but it isn’t something which just easily falls into place.

Hahaha he was still oblivious to his feeling:
GDC Chapter 11: “Wei WuXian was definitely not stunned and unable to avert his gaze because he was looking at a bathing beauty!! No matter how beautiful he was, he wouldn’t actually be ‘attracted to men’!! Really, it was the things on the person’s back that made him unable to avert his gaze. There were dozens of intersecting scars.”

January 21, 2020 at 3:04 PM
C’mon…. The same branding scar that Lan Zhan inflicted onto himself (T……….T) would have done SOMETHING to Wei Ying’s heart, would it not????
….Obviously, I STILL have not read the novel and have only managed to complete 1 page of the manhwa because I don’t want it to end!!!!!!! I feel like if I complete everything– the drama, the donghua, the manga, the novel– then it will REALLY be time for me to say goodbye, BUT I DON’T WANT TO OMG OMG OMG

Here’s how I let go: certainly not “cold turkey”. I’ve been able to start watching other dramas, but also get my daily dose of Untamed medicine, by watching – not favorite scenes or from beginning to end – but a story arc, like right now it’s funny because I watched the same scenes today and then saw this post!

January 21, 2020 at 2:57 PM
And I was just reading an article that mentioned one thing I didn’t know. When they did their bows in the Ancestor Hall, only married couples do that together (or something like that). I hadn’t realized…
bebeswtz❣️Xiao Zhan is the sunshine in human form ☀️
January 21, 2020 at 3:06 PM
Yup!! The drama toned it down and made it seem like Wei Ying was just bringing a close friend–his confidant– to pay respects to the ancestors, but we know that it actually has a double meaning to it :))))
Linda Palapala
January 21, 2020 at 3:12 PM
I had previously heard the bows were the 3 bows in the marriage ceremony. But this latest post said the fact both of them were together in going into the Ancestor Hall and bowing together was something only married couples did together. So I was a bit surprised.
The other things they mentioned I already knew about: significance of the headband; what the rabbits signified and the chickens.
bebeswtz❣️Xiao Zhan is the sunshine in human form ☀️
January 21, 2020 at 3:22 PM
In Buddhist tradition, three bows are given during the paying of respects (just like this scene, but we know that it’s actually hinting at a marriage ceremony… dang censorship) and offerings– it’s just a part of the tradition, with or without a friend/partner/spouse, there’s just different variations of it:
Simply bow 3 times, bowing 3 times with incense in hand then offering said incense to the deceased, bowing 3 times on all 4s (2 hands & on your knees), bowing 3 times on all 4s with palms of hands lifted up or faced down (differs in time period…)
If it were a full on marriage ceremony, the 3 bows is sliiiiiiightly different:
Bow #1: Facing outward and bowing to the heavens
Bow #2: Facing family (most of the time, it’s the parents of the couple who are seated)
Bow #3: Facing each other
Trinity 🍆
January 21, 2020 at 9:40 PM
Ya, what they did aren’t marriage bows. The bows they do in the drama is typical to show respect to someone. Nothing special or hidden in what they did that shows marriage.
Linda Palapala
January 21, 2020 at 10:39 PM
@trinpie So I should discount what this article said about the bows, guess they weren’t right. Oh, well…
