ok tell me about the untamed, i might not get into it but i want to hear you ramble about it, the art you reblog is so pretty
oh boy when i saw the notification for this ask, i freaked out kdhalkdjsflhasjd.
ok the the untamed is a live-action drama based off of the chinese webnovel, mo dao zu shi by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. there are many adaptations to it, including a donghua, audio drama, manhwa, and drama. (there might be more, but those are all that i know of)
ok so the untamed follows our main character Wei Wuxian as he wakes up 16 (13 in the novel) years after his death in a new body. The person who did a ritual to give up his body (Mo Xuanyu) wants him to get revenge on all of the people who wronged him in his life.
Right as we start on this adventure though, Wei Wuxian meets a bunch of people from his past and we go on a 30 episode long flashback to his childhood and what events led up to his death.
I don't want to spoil too much in case you do end up watching it, but long story short, there are a bunch of different clans and one tries to take over everyone using this magical object called the yin iron, but they get defeated by the others. Wei Wuxian almost dies and in order to stay alive, and be able to keep fighting, he turns to demonic cultivation, which is a type of magic that is strictly forbidden and evil. This is eventually what leads to his death, although there are a lot of other variables. (this isn't really a spoiler, they show this scene in the first five minutes of the show)
he has this soulmate *ahem* very good friend, Lan Wangji, who's very uptight and repressed and they have this whole thing going on where Wei Wuxian will blatantly flirt with him, and he'll pretend like they're enemies, when we all know that they're in love.
there are a lot of differences with the drama and the novel, namely the way Wei Wuxian dies, but I think their take on it was really well done and interesting.
there are also a lot of amazing subplots and characters, such as the characters from the Yi City arc, Nie Huaisang and whatever drama is going on with him, and many more, but I won't get into them.
anyways i just love this show so much kajfl;dskfjas;ld
