This is the best analysis of The Untamed that I've come across, and you've described the show's complex themes and structure very well. I discovered this series on Netflix during the Covid shutdown, and it quickly became my all-time favorite show. To those people who haven't seen it yet please do give it a try. You won't be sorry!

Excellent explanation. This was my first introduction to Chinese drama several years ago. There is something that I can't define that keeps me coming back to this drama even after all this time and it remains my favorite Cdrama.

This was a joy to watch. It's always great to see one of my favorite pieces of media being talked about!!! As a huge Lord of the rings fan since I was a child, I felt the same sense of stepping into a huge, intricate world when I watched The Untamed and to this day I still think a lot about its themes 😊

Thank you so much, I also felt exactly as you described when first watching. It's like an untapped goldmine!

@@lowtemperaturehands forgot to mention in my og comment but if we're talking about immersive and intricate world building and deep themes I'd highly recommend Heaven Official's Blessings, which is another novel by this author! The protagonist is (literally) an 800 year old god and his life is very interesting to follow, both his past and present. Unfortunately there's no drama adaptation yet but the novel is fantastic! It's a LGBTQ+ love story as well tho unfortunately it would definitely get censored if it ever gets adapted :/

This is the best show I’ve seen. Have to watch a few episodes every day! Absolutely love it!!

I really like your interpretations and notes on this show. You wouldn't expect it to have as many layers and complexities as it does :D (Honestly just learning and the different names and sects was hard enough)

There seems to be a lot of gems in the Chinese TV & cinema market. Thanks for the recommendation.

Glad you like it. The main purpose of this video was to offer my 2 cents on new things to watch in times when what Hollywood has to offer can be so disappointing.
