THE UNTAMED Blind Reaction | Episode 8

[@hollyvanwye9294]

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
