Sixteen years after the cultivation world declared him a villain, the resurrected Wei Wuxian reunites with the only friend who never doubted him.
What makes The Untamed worth watching
The C-drama that broke into the global mainstream.
The Untamed represents a strong example of china wuxia from the 2019 production cycle. Chinese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Wuxia and Fantasy elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Meng Ziyi, with strong supporting work from Wang Zhuocheng. It originally aired on Tencent Video, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
