#mae overshares#anyways i finally started watching the untamed#8 episodes in and....well. i know who jin ling is now#(some irrelevant little brat is who he is)#i even know who some of his 3934 uncles are! wow!#(yes im still thinking abt that 'the untamed spoiler reddit post' video)#i also figured out which moffo is his uncle in law and which moffo is one of his uncles#this show got 50 episodes i honestly dont know why im surprised considering all chinese tv dramas are one season story#its been a while since i watched any chinese tv dramas tbh....and when i watched any. it was done against my will#(aka my dad put it on tv/my mom was watching it on tv before bed and wanted finish that episode)#jury is still out tho. ik i was talking abt how my mutuals r into mdzs/untamed and im not in the tags of a post the other day#well im still not...THAT into it. it's the world building that im meh about. and this isnt a criticism against this specific story per se#im generally not into modern chinese fantasy world building. and its literary traditions. if i have to guess. starts with jin yong#my dad likes jin yong. i certainly am not interested. its one of those series/books thats part of literary canon but i dont care for it#i didnt like the main character aka wei wuxian's personality that much when i watched mdzs (not untamed) earlier last year#but idk i guess his personality grew on me. i think he makes for a bearable protagonist this time around#im taking a break i dont think i can keep watching for a while but i might finish it#it was lunar new years and not that it has anything to do with this show but i just thought. might as well do something new and chinese rela#so i watched this show lol.
