Are you not uploading these reactions anymore?

I assume the reason why the home of the Nie clan is called the Unclean Realm is because the family started out as butchers, as in cutting up the corpses of cows and pigs, making their place of residence covered in blood or "unclean" who learned a form of unorthadoxed cultivation. Their cultivation puts resentful energies into their sabres, making the sabres "Unclean". But that is just a guess.

Lan Zhan isn't an alcoholic. He's just hilarious when he is drunk. Wei Wuxian is an alcoholic. Also, a nice little easter egg Huaisang's fan has a poem written on it that roughly translates to "I'm not of this world". Take that as you will.

Not me in the comments simping for Xue Yang's actor 😂 For real though, he's fantastic. His first "big" role before this one was as a comedic relief side character, and he was a lead in another straight-up comedy series. He's got great comedic timing and seems to have a lot of fun with it, so hopefully he gets more work like that in the future!

Fun fact. Most of the male cast originally auditioned for Xue Yang first before they were cast as their characters. Even Xiao Zhan who plays Wei Wuxian says that if he was given the chance to play a different character he'd want to play Xue Yang.

Oh, yo estoy aquí disfrutando de tus reacciones, así que por favor continua. Gracias.

I agree that the actor playing Xue Yang is exceptional. He really nails that role!

The archery contest comes later on in the show. Wen Ning is introduced into the storyline much earlier here than in the book.

13:28 about the broken leg. I'd say it's not a spoiler, because the audience knows about it. Only WWX doesn't. Everyone is a little confused here. Yes, it is broken! BUT LWJ is too proud* to show it, so he pushed through. *or whatever you will call it. I'm also not an English native 😅 He may have multiple reasons.

Сцена, когда Цзян Чен и Вей Усянь стоят на коленях - прекрасна. Они такие любящие, такие милые, такие юные. 💔 Не оправдываю нападки мадам Юй на семью, но мне ее гнев кажется более понятным, чем спокойствие Фень Мяня. Это опасная ситуация для из детей, это опасная ситуация для клана и, кажется что любой шаг только делает все хуже. И он со своим "делайте, что надо делать, не делайте того, что не надо делать" как-то странно выглядит. И очень наглядно, что Цзян Чен учится реагировать на все агрессией у своей матери. И наследственность, и воспитание. Вообще влияние семей в этом сериале показано очень ярко - практически обучающее видео по тому, как не надо воспитывать детей. Ученик, рассказавший о клане Вень - это Су Ше, тот же, кто, подражая Лань Чжаню, послал свой меч в Водную бездну и потом его пришлось спасать. И потом у него будет свой собственный клан в белом.

There are some mistakes in the translation Madam Yi is the only wife of Jiang Fengmian he calls her third lady which means she is the third one among siblings not the third wife of him.

Loving your reactions Kiki .... every episode is a lot ! hahaa.... I think it's great that you already know the overall plotline... makes it a tad easier learning all the different clans/members... I'm really happy that you're enjoying it !

"Immortal cultivators" doesn't mean that they're literally immortal the way we'd think in Western culture. The goal of cultivation (aka martial arts and "magic", to define it somewhat simplistically) is to become immortal and ultimately ascend to godhood. Cultivators reach a point where they stop aging and therefore become "immortal", but that just means that they live for a very long time and could technically live forever IF nobody killed them, not that they're immune to being killed. This is also why everyone from the older generations in the donghua looked like they were in their mid twenties despite having adult children. They just stopped aging because they were very strong. The Untamed hired older actors for the older characters, so that makes it not be as obvious unless you remember that everybody from the main cast still looks very young in their mid-late thirties. The Chinese goverment doesn't like all of this to be depicted in live action dramas, so they always censor it in adaptations. As for the common folk in these type of stories, they don't really understand how cultivation works so, whenever they talk about cultivators, they tend to think that they've all reached that strength/cultivating threshold, since they all look extraordinary and powerful from their point of view. It's just one of those things where you need to know a bit about Chinese mythology and tropes if you don't want to be confused. Also, the reason why they didn't understand why Wen Qing cared so much about that village is that, while the translation saying "grandma" is not entirely incorrect, "popo" doesn't necessarily refer to your biological grandmother. It's just like how an older gentleman can be referred to as "uncle", or someone close to your age can be your "brother" or "sister". That lady isn't Wen Qing's biological grandmother; she's just an older woman from her clan whom she respects, so she calls her "popo". Other translations for this show use "madam" instead of "grandma".

Loving the reactions so far! Just some clarifications about their ages: The Untamed messed up the timeline quite a lot, probably because of Jin Ling (the nephew). He was supposed to be 14 in the current timeline, but they made him be 16 instead. I imagine that that's because of the fact that his actor is literally the same age as Lan Wangi's actor, so it would've been hard to make him look even younger. And it's also easier to work with adult actors rather than teenagers, but that does make it confusing if you haven't read the novel first. Basically, their ages are actually as follows: In the present time (before and after the flashback), Lan Wangji is 36. Wei Wuxian would've been a few months younger, and Jiang Cheng is younger than Wei Wuxian by a few months too, so he's likely 35-36 too. The flashback starts when they're around 15-16. Jiang Yanli is 2-3 years older than them. So instead of "16 years ago" the flashback starts more like 20 years ago in the novel. By the time Wei Wuxian dies, several years have passed, and he's resurrected 13 years later. So there's about 7 years of events between the Cloud Recesses arc and Wei Wuxian's death, which means that he died at 22-23. The Untamed actually omits a lot of time skips, so it looks like a lot less time has passed. It doesn't help that they said that this was 16 years ago and that Wei Wuxian *also* died 16 years ago. That's a direct error since they already said that they spent 6 months in the Cloud Recesses and, as you'll be seeing going forward, it's not the first time they declare how much time has passed between events. Hope this cleared up your confusion somewhat!

Saying Xue Yang is "a little bonkers" is the understatement of the century 😂I love that terrible little gremlin.

Congratulations! Episode 10! Woohoo!

"I forgot about Meng Yao!" Huaisang can't relate 🤣

Мне нравится версия, что дурное отношение капитана не было прямой причиной для его убийства, скорее причиной не ценить его жизнь, считать его смерть бонусом. Но план был именно про выпуск Сюэ Яна и как можно скорее, чтобы Вени не успели убить старшего Не. Т.е. на данный момент Мен Яо не хочет смерти Не, напротив, он пытается спасти ему жизнь. При этом поступаясь принципами, что конечно для самого лидера клана абсолютно не приемлемо и он это осознает, поэтому кидает в разговор любые другие варианты. И после этого он не залег где-то в сторонке, а бросился искать старшего брата Лань. Т. е. он все ещё расчетлив, беспринципен и мстителен, но если бы он остался с Не или Лань, все могло бы быть иначе... Хотя наследственность здесь все-таки отвратительная. Со стороны отца, разумеется. Какое-то золотое ядро у него всё-таки есть, а это значит, что ранения, опасные для обычного человека, не так критичны. Тут от ран не умирают 😊

This is still before the Sunshot campaign. Nie Mingjue gets corrupted later on after Wei Wuxian's death. Also, just a quick difference between The Untamed and the Donghua is Meng Yao's role. Meng Yao was introduced much earlier in the story in The Untamed, so they stuck him with Nie Mingjue. In the Donghua, Meng Yao isn't introduced until the Sunshot Campaign, which is where he meets Nie Mingjue for the first time.

The way they tell the story I call "Hänzel & Gretel", they are spreading the bread crumbs so hard. It's brilliant. The show is actually made to watch in a loop, in my opinion. Also, confusion is a big part of the story telling. It isn't ment to be alway understand right away. They could have shown Meng Yao as they mentioned him, but the explicitly choose not to. He is only a side character at this point and shouldn't get too much attention. Just accept stuff like that and give the show time. I normally over analyze stuff, but here I'd say "trust the story and just enjoy the ride". So much better of an experience. Even as you have seen the other version before, try to let the show surprise you. Thats also for the people that, in my opinion are spoiling too much in the comments. Don't do that. She already knows too much.

The story covers a number of years. Much later, Meng Yao DOES corrupt Nie MingJue and cause his qi deviation. You've got that 100% right. Also you've already guessed correctly that Nie Huaisang is the unseen guy with the fan in Episode 1. Most viewers don't figure that one out until the end of the series!

About Baoshan Sanren, who's still alive: she's the Immortal Master who raised Wei Wuxian's mother and also Xiao Xingchen (the soon-to-be-blind guy). Wei's mother, Cangse Sanren, left their mountain home long ago, married Wei's father, and was killed in a night hunt when Wei was 4 years old. And so technically Baoshan Sanren is Wei's clan master, although he has never met her. I can see how easily you might confuse CANGSE Sanren for BAOSHAN Sanren, but they're two different women.

The chicken is called “ Pheasant colchicus” and people in Asia used to go hunting it in the wild

Если учесть, что нелюбовь Не Хуйсана к битвам связана в большей мере с нежеланием связываться конкретно с саблями клана Не, которые накапливают энергию обиды и соответственно в долгосрочной перспективе опасны, идея с веером имеет смысл. Я читала несколько фанфиков с боевыми веерами Хуйсана, и это было хорошо. С другой стороны, объяснить старшему брату, что он будет тренироваться, но не с традиционным оружием клана, а с веером было бы сложновато. Ну и пока что он просто не видит в этом необходимости. Вы не смотрели "Слово чести"? Там Вень Кесин с боевым веером очень хорош 😊

Huaisang is a funny contradiction. He is stronger than non-cultivators just by being a cultivator (hence him being able to push away puppets +/- easily) and his clan is one of warriors. But he himself hates fighting and while he knows how to use one, he doesn’t carry his sword. Young him (flashback him) is a little bit of a coward as well - we all know what it takes for him to grow a pair and become… what he does become.* I love him and seeing him so young and bubbly and whiny hurts when you know. Hope KZbin will stop giving you hell every time and that real life problems lessen in numbers. Great reaction as always. (*Note that I use grow a pair while simultaneously believing not everyone needs to be brave and it was more to color my point than anything else.)

You needed to stop to read... you are human, thx good 😅 Nice to get a new reaction.

While this branch of the Wens is Wen Qing and Wen Ning's family, I think the "Grandma" is more of a title for older ladies than it is actually her grandma. Meng Yao is the one that Xichen was infatuated with in episode 4 who came with Huaisang to the lecture and left early.

They call it an "owl" but actually that's not what the thing looks like. Wei WuXian later calls it a "crow" and then a "chicken." My guess is that it started its life as an unidentified black bird, probably a crow, but since then it has mutated into a monster.

just a note jiang cheng i believe is the older of the 2 boys not wei

Lan Zhan is so jealous every time WWX interacts with literally anyone but him it's so sweet 😍😍😂

You're so cute ❤

This is truly the best drama I’ve ever watched 🥰

I love Wen Ning. He such a big little kid brother

Xichen can read Wangji. He's the only one who can read Wangji. 😂 He knew Wangji wanted Wuxian around despite what he said

I'm really glad the show developed more of Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisung's friendship

In the book it is stated that the compass the guy was using was a prototype design and WWX had made better ones later on and fixed the bugs with the original. In the books he was an inventor. Totally a mad scientist. He even invented the spirit flags, and the paper man, and the empathy technique. In this version of the story he even invents a couple more things than he did in the book. MX, the guy who sacrificed himself to bring WWX back, is Jin Ling's uncle, not cousin. He's one of the many bastard of Jin Ling's grandfather (jin guashan? something like that). I'm not sure, but I think in the book it states MX was too young to fight in the war.

They said in the animation that Wei Wuxian invented the compass of evil, the sirit capture flags, and the standardized categorizations for evil spirits that the Juniors are taught

I love this show so much ❤

idk if I remember correctly but I think it was mentioned in the novel that Lan Clan's robe has some kind of incantations embroidered into it that is protecting whoever is wearing it from spiritual attacks. Keeping this in mind, the talisman WWX stuck on LWJ's robe should've not worked 👀 So, LWJ might've willingly went along with what WWX was up to 👀

Loving your reactions 💕 Welcome to the world of C-dramas where an episode ends on an abrupt cut edit even as a character is in mid speech 🤣 You’ll never get a resolved ending to a plot in one episode. C-dramas typically make money per episodes hence the long length of them and the random endings. The boys are suppose to be about 16 when they were at Gusu. Hence all the immaturity. I know you didn’t show the clip in your video but the flower petals falling on LWJ comes directly from the novel and was an Easter egg for the novel fans 🤭 Though the reason for him being showered by petals is different in the novel 🤭 Can’t wait to go on this journey with you.

They are all teenagers, basically. And Wei Wuxian is just annoying (i mean that with love), mischievous, and enjoys teasing Lan Wangji. To me, it is clear that Wei Wuxian much prefers inventing new talismas and spells (and drinking and flirting, and chilling) to cultivating the "right way" all the time. Not being related to the Jiangs by blood and the clan's vibe being more lax than the other clans makes such behavior more acceptable. Although he's obviously a smart and naturally skilled cultivator with a strong core. All this to say that Wei Wuxian wasn't exactly known for his swordsmanship. But he is good! Lan Wangji, on the other hand, is a skilled swordsman and has a VERY high cultivation level. They are a bit green here, though. Still more talented than most of their peers. Nie Huaisang is the name you couldn't remember!

Yes, I am here keeping watching your reactions, sometimes I forgot to leave a comment here, sorry. Please, keep the good work! Thank you

Ох, какие же они всё-таки дети. Вень Цин ощущается старше, но это скорее опыт выживания в клане Вень и груз ответственности за младшего брата. А там может быть и ровесницей остальным мальчикам. В любом случае она прекрасна. Цзян Чен рядом с ней кажется неуклюжим щенком.

I would guess that Wei WuXian, Lan Zhan, Cheng and Nie Huaisang are all about 16 years old, which would explain some of the immature behavior we see, especially on Wei's part. Lan Zhan, however, has been trained to be very serious and responsible and so APPEARS older than his contemporaries. Elder Sister Yanli is maybe 18 or 19 whereas Lady Wen is probably the same age, or at least close in age, to the boys. Wen Ning is still too young to attend lectures at the school, which would make him younger than 15. I'm enjoying your videos!

Enjoying the journey with you. (Thumbnail saying episode 7...)

Excited for the next episode! Hopefully it will be a bit longer! 😊

Perhaps, you could try covering the TV logo in the upper right corner.

Please react to Word of honor fmv beautiful mess

this was probably the first smile of LWJ in a very long time if ever. I think he was caught unaware himself that he can smile. From here on his transformation is unstoppable. This is also the moment where I felt in love with Wang Yibo - the actor playing LWJ. That smile was so beautiful.
