Untamed: bringing the "ow"

[branchandroot]

Okay, I made it to ep 29 of The Untamed without too much more than a wince, and then 29 proceeded to a) kill me with the adorable and b) shatter my heart into tiny little pieces.

I mean, damn, that was some NiF levels of calculated cruelty to the viewer, there.

The pacing still suffers from drawing out every emotional moment about three times longer than it really needs to be, but this episode's one-two punch of "cute!" and then "ow, ow, ow" was very well executed.

Seconding all of what stultiloquentia said so hard! And there are so many amazing facial expressions for us to watch, too. *g*

The present day episodes are my favourites, hands down. When the flashback episodes ended in early episode 33, I stopped and re-watched episodes one and two, and then jumped back to 33 again and continued forward.

Yeah, I was really pretty impressed with the quality of acting, considering one of the first things I heard about this was "idol flick". Xiao Zhan is really good in this role.
