Qing yu nian (2019)
Smart, intriguing, mindblowing!
Really love the plot of this drama! So much twist, so much scheming. You thought and guessed one thing, what really happened is the other thing. Mindblowing! Once you get to the end, you will finally understand simple things which you take for granted before, like the meaning of the opening song, the hair accessories which I think is pretty unique for a historical drama, the modern cut/editing/transition.
I love the cinematography of this drama too. The composition is neat. The lighting is pretty dramatic but still natural.
Also love the costume. I notice that they differentiate the pattern for the different countries.
Applause for all the actors too, great actings both from the senior and the junior actors. Really brought to life the interesting characters. I hope they wouldn't change any actor for season 2.
Chen qing ling (2019)
It's not enough to watch it just once!
The best part of this drama is of course the story. It's intriguing from the beginning, from just the first scene. It has plot twist. Watching it once will not be enough. Because the next time you watch it again, you will notice different things you didn't see before. Once you go watch it, you will go deep and immerse yourself in the world and the story. It also has a great message that is very relevant in today's modern time, without being too preaching.
I would like to give my appreciation to the actors for their great acting too, they really have great chemistry. And I especially want to mention the actor of Wei Wuxian, Xiao Zhan, for the empathy and sincerity he brought to the character. These qualities will make you understand and love the main character.
Besides all these, The Untamed also has beautiful cinematography and production design. I especially love the costume and the location for each of the sect, all have their own distinctive characteristics.
The only things I find could be better are the CGI. Also it doesn't really have that many action scenes. So if you expect these things, maybe it's better watching the anime instead. I'm not disappointed though, I'm glad they decided to focus on the drama and the characters.
