The Untamed

TV Show • 2019 • Action  

Report
In a land dominated by the mighty Wen clan, a young man named Wei Wuxian strikes up an unconventional friendship with justice-loving Lan Wangji. When the duo unexpectedly stumbles across evidence implicating the Wen clan’s chief in a plot to bring mayhem to the inhabitants of their land, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji decide to intervene. However, the pair’s attempts to foil the Wen clan boss’s wicked plans go wrong. In the confusion that follows, Wei Wuxian disappears – with many fearing the worst for him. Sixteen years later, Wei Wuxian returns out of the blue. He is soon reunited with Lan Wangji, just as a spate of mysterious murders has broken out. The duo joins forces once more to investigate, determined not to fail this time… Can the pair get to the bottom of the intrigue? Will they solve the murder cases? And just who is the dastardly secret figure pulling the strings behind the evildoings now blighting the land?

There is a (monster??) dog that is kept chained up in a Clan’s dungeon that is clearly mistreated and gets verbally berated by an antagonist. It’s not a realistic looking animal, but if that bothers you consider skipping the scene. Large acupuncture needles are also used on the dog to force it to fall asleep.

----At one point a "dead cat" falls to hang in a doorway to scare a character. It is very fake looking, however, and of almost laughable stuffed plush animal quality. But just a heads up if the idea upsets you |

----In the context of killing animals for food, a few animals are hunted (both successfuly and unsucessfully) but are killed off screen--this includes fish, and a wild hen/pheasant. A few of the characters tease about eating rabbits that are cared for as pets but its done entirely as a joke. |

------It is implied that one of the characters killed and ate rats in a survival situation.

One person is assaulted on screen, a... not quite antagonist but definitely Not a good dude--he has a reputation as a womanizer and fathered several children out of wedlock (it is revealed later he himself had committed sexual assault (off screen.)) Happens as part of another character's revenge/political advancement scheme, who hires a group of sex workers to "entertain" this character. The character in question is tied to a bed and both he and the sex workers are forced to do sexual acts until that character passes away (of heart failure I think they said? I can't remember rn.) It is shot vaguely--through gauze curtains and shots of hands and feet and things like that ||
--a few people are sexually assaulted off screen but it is discussed by many character. No specific details but they use the word "rape." One of the assaults results in a pregnancy that is carried to term without the survivor revealing she was assaulted or that the child was not biologically that of her husband's. |
[INCEST WARNING] --it is technically assault because the sexual acts happened under false pretenses. A married couple are revealed to be biological siblings and that the brother knew the whole time and went ahead with the marriage and the conception of a child. The sister does learn the truth eventually.

--A character's leg is broken by an enemy and it is not allowed to heal properly for some time (he walks with a limp and is in obvious pain for a while.) Eventually it is splinted and heals fine. |
--a character often issues insincere (almost affectionate in his own way?) threats to break people's legs when they misbehave; its almost entirely said about/towards family members (his brother, his nephew, etc )

--One characters eyes are damaged by a type of powder flung at him during a fight. It happens on screen, but the actor portrays this by squeezing his eyes shut and bringing his hands to his face while making sounds of pain. No eyes are shown. The character is shown after that wearing gauze/white cloth tied over his eyes with (somewhat unrealistic) red stains on it where his eyes are. |
----Another character also is portrayed with a white cloth/gauze tied over his eyes. He voluntarily gave his eyes to another character; it happened off screen, there are no details, and it is vaguely implied it happened by magical/spiritual means. He is blind for the remainder of the story and it heavily factors into the plot. There is no further specific eye-related trauma with him but he is shown with blood dripping from under the cloth tied over his eyes during an emotionally intense fight/scene |
---An antagonist is tormented by angry spirits and begins seeing things. At one point during this scene she opens her jewelry box and sees two disembodied eyes (visually its pretty obvious they're glass ones) and some blood. When she looks again, they're gone and her jewelry is back.
---The fierce corpses/summoned undead zombie-like monsters have entirely white or black eyes which may upset some people sensitive to that. |
---A character becomes the target of controlling spells by two people simultaneously and he is shown with an additional full iris/pupil appearing in each eye

On screen: yes, a child is part of a battle defending the Jiang clan's home and is stabbed and killed |
Off-screen: --there are many implications of unnamed children being killed as part of a group (ex. "The entire ×× clan was murdered! Men, women, and children!") | ---for most of the time after the fall of the Burial Mounds settlement (to give you a time marker) one of the main characters believes a young child he cared for had died, but later learns he was saved and is now a young adult

... if the above comment uses '''normal stuff''' to mean Western media, then true, the depictions of ghosts in a Xianxia are very different from what we recognise as ghosts in the West. However, ghosts and other instances of the dead (and undead) are discussed frequently in The Untamed, right from the start, and are very relevant to the plot. This is common to the genre and takes heavy inspiration from Chinese mythology and folklore.

Throughout the show, but most blatantly in the Yi City arc. Disabled characters are also shown to be fully capable of living their lives independently, but they face ableism from the people around them. Mental illness is treated with scorn and embarrassment/viewed as weakness.

Technically, for the main arc, it is a happy ending.
A lot of side characters/side plots get a tragic ending though.

Also there's no category for this but there's a fictional illness/curse called literally "100 holes". Two characters show their chest filled with holes and it can trigger trypophobia. And on the topic of trypophobia, there are a couple scenes where lotus pods are shown.
