Yk the Untamed is also a bl to bromance right and was it bad? No, Is it worth to binge? Of course. So this one is the same. I honestly didn't like the the drama now that I know it's originally a wonderful BL but then it was actually a hidden Gem.
The actors showed the complexity of their characters and kudos to the script writers/director of that cause they really put life to the characters and not just categorized them as black & white like the Bully who got his redemption arc which was intense at the finale. The drama is filled with talented good looking actors, no plot holes, and it's actually relatable. The bromance is also genius like instead of romantic interest they made it into real friendship which is very pleasing. If they did not cut the bl part I think it will be more lovable to watch but regardless The novel, manhwa and Kdrama are all worth to binge
The untamed is based on very popular novel tho. It also have anime. The author is same as the one who wrote Heaven Blessing Official. And the story is genius I say. Romance between the two is very much as bromance but when we get the flashback, wangji has been in love since they were students. Tbh, both anime & drama adaptation is toned down the scariness. The fighting, the zombie, the ghost, the demon are all very very creepy in the novel. And wei wuxian is super ruthless when he attack his enemy.
The thing is China was severe censorship laws, like production can go to jail or heavy fines if they make gay shows... That's why they make bromances. It's DADT (dont asl, dont tell).
Korea doesn't have those laws, that why we can get Korean bls. But, this is a mainstream production, Korean is still a conservative cpuntry, so if u want to make a TV drama, u need to censor it.
Right I love Wei Wuxian's evilness too like they described him to be so cruel yet bewitching sadly both adaptation tone down the gore but still delivered and slay them visuals anyway HaHa
there's also another reason why they don't pursue BL genre that much. It doesn't fit the actors image even after Untamed the actors still got some backlash from viewers because they are sus. There's R18 Chinese drama too but not that many, mostly filmed long time ago and the latest are either bromance or subtle romance
Actually if u pay attention, there are way more censored adaptations. Some productions are even moving to Taiwan or Thailand (Unknown based on Priest's Dage is Taiwanese bl, My Standin is a Thai bl based on Professional Body Double).
There are even mini bls that are released directly online.
Still different. Korea doesn't have any censorship rules. Untamed was good even with so much government interference. Korea directors just don't wanna take the step.out of that heternormativity even if they don't have any banning.
I'm actually not pointing out the genre but the quality of their production, cast, acting and plot haha also it's totally chill to never watch that show we all have our own preferences and opinion.
Someone asked me why I'm forcing it but I'm not maybe it came off that way because I'm defending the show. I'm a fan of the two actors and they didn't fail to give me a good show so I wanna voice out that the straight Washing is indeed awful but not the show. To Minnie, I'm not forcing anyone to watch it we all are free to drop or pick so chile bae

Show is done shooting. It has also finished airing.
The production house that made it has made proper bls before. Won Taemin, who plays the Deuk Pal's right hand, is a well-known K-bl lead with 3 bls, and one which is shooting right now.
The drama was changed from bl to bromance with a bit of straight-washing BECAUSE of fans of the actors. International fans dgaf, but Knetz threw a tantrum (as they do, bécause the leads are idols). This was when the casting and the source was just announced. Then the production house came out with it's a bromance, not a bl and the inter-fans got pissed. But the drama is made for Knetz and they are happy with, so
That's a shame. Why do Knetz bother with shows they don't like even or that's not their cup of tea? I really liked the novel and was excited for the LA. I would have been happy if it had unknown actors who can play according to the story without the straightwashing. Oh, well. (￣∇￣")
Well I see some comments doesn't like the rae part but it's just a scheme, it didn't really happen and no such thing will happen but just like any other period dramas this one got biatch fights concubine schemes, politic struggle, and annoying stubborn characters. Overall it is a good story to read with pretty art.
The Female lead forced to marry the Crown prince whom she treats as her brother, because of a false story that she lost her innocence to him. The moment she wed to the Crown Prince a bunch of schemes uncovered and she suffered a lot. She ended up becoming the Empress but at what cost? Blood has stained her innocent hands in order to survive her cruel destiny. The male lead comes back and still remains the naive, idealistic and upright man he is, she slowly recovers from her tyranny with his tender loving care and I guess they had a child ... That's all I know so far but I hope it was a tragic end instead of a happy one
I like this unbothered young master lol at the end of ch 20 he just ran instead of fighting till the end. Since releasing that much power is suicide why bother fighting the opponent? he's gon die anyways
Sami is so cute~ does anyone know what app this story is originally from? Im so curious I just wanna purchase the og and it seems worth my money such cute art and lovable characters~

I think they look like typical characters at first but the more I read the better they looked and their personalities are great too. The flow of the story is smooth as well. I really like this stoey I hope it gets better and better~
Their face card is absolutely my type. Clean, charming and hot
everytime the brothers and maid yap their trap I get so edge and just wanna punch em to death
(╬￣皿￣)凸
The eldest bro is so biased and altho the storyline is basic yet extraordinary, there's nothing so special about the characters except for mc I mean the others are supposed to be like that cuz it's inside a novel, that is how they were written.
Im not looking forward to her families character development but I do wish to see them suffer.
The art is so pretty so I will read the original and support the artist~
this is a real love triangle lmao maybe they're gon hav 3some soon omo that'd be crazy
At this point anything is possible ╥﹏╥
nah nvm i was about to mtl the raws then i got chap 67 and mann it was crazy that blonde is obsessed with mc. Blonde is "If I can't have you, then no one can" kind of psycho
The kind of stuff I can except from him and this story. Yet I can't stop reading it
it's good I just finished it and now I'm waiting for the side stories. The blonde reflected on his crime and mc got his happy ending. Actually everyone got better esp the brother I misjudged him haha he is the best sibling
He ended up with blonde?

no. he went abroad instead
Oh okay thanks for replying back!!
Wait I'm not ready for development and happiness
It's just chapter 1 but I'm already dying from laughing too much omg the second hand embarrassment lmao hilarious
Well it felt rushed but it made sense so this is acceptable. You guys support the author please even if you don't understand the korean ver hehe
Speaking of rushed I feel like there should be more. I mean..not to drag the story longer but yk some sense of security between mc and Jaehyuk but looking back to what their rs is like maybe starting a fresh is also a good ending. They sorted out their regrets and grudges and now they're trying again as official lovers(not openly tho) yaayyy hihe
I hope there's spicy scenes in the sides or at least a VERY VEERRYY cute moments of Yeon-ho and Jae-hyuk
Very Lana Coded baby
Jealous, jealous, jealous boy
If I can't have you baby, no one else in this world can~
Same baby I'm also quite the possessive type. Male, Fem, all the colors of rainbow even the animals ..I get jealous of them. If my person compliments a flower I would wish to be the flower or maybe destroy it so he won't see any beauty but me...or dig out his eyes JK!!
Your JK is very cute and not convincing. But i trust u
