I'm half tempted to leave you and your newly found discoveries alone and half tempted to take you down the WangXian / WuJi rabbit hole (hehe, rabbit) with me 👀👀👀
MDZS is based on a Chinese BL novel of the same name it’s also known as Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. You can find the actual novel on the website Exiledrebelsscanlations.com and you can find the audio drama, which sticks closer to the novel on Tumblr @SuibianSubs while The Untamed is a great live action, that gayness is more viable on these sites.
and that more awkward moment when yes they aren't particularly brothers by blood but still raised as brothers then you see wei wuxian being shipped with jiang cheng-
That depends. I love The Untamed but i have some issues with Wangxian's relationship in the original novel. Frankly, I prefer Wangxian's relationship in the live action better (despite the censorship) than the novel and manhua.
When I tell you my heart still shakes everytime he is mentioned uhhhhh i wanna transmigrate into the novel and save xiao xingchen just my God the most heartbreaking thing I've read in a while cried too much and had to stop for a while to read fluff and watch feel good kids cartoon
Spoiler Alert: Lan Wangji basically took the "I love you bitch" meme and made it into a super power hence him having his harp thing on him at all times
Victoria Slater zithers are a wide category of string instruments from a variety of cultures. The specific stringed instrument that Lan Wangji plays is the guqin, which originates from China and has 7 strings
Most of the good stuff though is in the fanfiction... like really. There’s new content everyday on AO3. I spend half my time online reading WangXian love...
Lan Wangji: Always haves white and blue clothes on and a headband. Wei Wuxian: Always has black and red clothes on a red hair ribbon in his hair. Jiang Cheng: The purple dude that always looks angry is also Wei Wuxian’s brother. Lan Sizhui: Is Wei Wuxian’s and Lan Wangji’s son. Wen Ning: Always wear chains on his arms since le boi is a corpse. Is basically just a cinnamon roll. Lan Xichen: Is that handsome chinese boy you mentioned. And is also Lan Wangji’s older brother.
This two beautiful boys are... *Spoilers* In fact married and they raised a child together. It's canon. *Please read the novel it's very heavy but it's worth it* Either that or read the manhua, or you can hear the audio drama, they both have the canon romantic moments. Unfortunately, because of Chinas laws banning homosexual content they couldn't bring the romance to the live action and the donghua (anime;cartoon). But, they (the staff for both) always had the intention to represent them as a couple. If you look closely, in both adaptations there are details that directly confirm that they love each other, but they are sneaky.
Rebekah Nicola oof,,,, lemme tell you, it got a lot easier after reading the novel. although i did bingeread it in like two days so maybe that's just me 💀
Sammy Kropf I binge read it too about a year ago, but I didn’t know Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao or Nie Mingjue’s other names for a while 😂 I suck at remembering things that are only mentioned a few times
Except he's actually not. It's called Modao Zushi because he's accused of modao (Demonic Path Cultivation) but he's actually using guidao (Ghost Path Cultivation).
@@EveRosell well yeah,, both of the s*x scenes (in mdzs and svsss) are reallly close to dub con/non con. I personally enjoyed both main stories but the endings were kinda.. not my stuff. Idk if it was because of the censor or that she matured, but i was kinda glad that she didnt "ruin" hualian's sweet vanilla image yk
@@ritella6601 Not all authors can write good erotic content. I love her characters and plot. Their romantic interaction is great (except in system), but I think s*x scenes are no good (I like them consensual, so yeah). Author just doesn't write those scenes well in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with that, though, being able to write good s*x scenes is a separate talent in itself. I enjoy her MDZS and HOB plot and romance nonetheless.
@@EveRosell Honestly, as I read SVSSS, I ended up not shipping the main ship at all because their interactions were super dubcon-y and the less said about chapter 80 the better. I ended up shipping liushen over bingqiu and proceeded to be sad over the fact it won't be requited.
Coley: "I'm going to binge this." Me:.... Me: Unless you have a heart made of stone, bring Walmart's entire stock of tissues with you (bc we all know that toilet paper is too valuable in these times)
the amount of times i watched the donghua- i plan on reading the novel soon once i buy my own usb to download the pdf i was also said that i was particularly not a person to cry at sad scenes since i didnt cry when elsa was abt to die and olaf disappearing according to my classmates, which was a pretty stupid if you ask me-
Do you wanna know something sad about Mdzs? Mxtx originally wanted the whole story to be a dream that Lan Wangji created in his mind about the reincarnation of Wei Wuxian, now that would've been sad if that ever happened...
@@BingQilin huh wait what tell me more I have only ever read one thing on ao3 (i needed an emotional spa month after that to recover so I satyed clear from there since then lol) pleaaaaseee?
@@noa-ix9pe there was a longfic that had 1000+ tags on it (including words like "mango" and "blowjobs with teeth") making it hell to scroll by so the devs put in a policy restricting fics to 75 tags
@@BingQilin damm this fandom is legend. Fun fact: I tought incense burner was some weird tag name some fans came up with in a fic until I realized this chaptera actually exist so tags like "mango" wouldn't surprise me at all 😂😂
This is one of the fandoms where the storyline is really complex and uses a lot of old Chinese Asian type of traditions. So it might be kind of confusing for western fans but I suggest you guys reading the novel, it’s so worth it! There’s an English translation available online. And the comic which is (called a Manhwa in Mandarin), it’s really nice as well the audio drama is spicy but unfortunately I don’t think there is an English version available on UA-cam since it would be best to purchase it to support the creators. You are able to watch the drama on UA-cam the channel Tencent posted all the episodes with English subtitles. I’m so glad you got the chance to visit the fandom it’s such a golden gem that we cannot forget!!!! Top: Lan Wang Ji Bottom: Wei Wu Xian Their love is so beautiful...it’s to die for honestly ❤️
I'm not sure if many people can understand Mandarin but if you are an ABC like me and can understand it, please try to buy the original. It's super cheap, like 5 USD for a whole season, and there r 3 seasons. plus there are a bunch of extra's and little Wen Yuan (LSZ) is SOOOO CUTE!!!!!
The post that really got me into it was "They are married with a child" with few cute pics of them staring in their eyes in The Untamed on Twitter. And when I saw comments below it I was shocked to find out that it was not a joke, in canon (the original novel) they end up married and they did in a way raise a child "together".
"Is that your ex-boyfriend?" I literally had to stop the video to die laughing omg. His brother, is martial younger brother but there ARE fics of him and WWX...
I love how u called jiang cheng a home wrecker 😂😂 now a useful tip on what adaptation to start with this beautiful series: There’s currently 6 adaptations: - The Novel: pros: it’s not censored, much more detailed, wangxian married. cons: might be a bit confusing if you start with this one, and you might be a bit disappointed to follow with the other adaptations after since most of them don’t explicitly show wangxian as a couple. -The Donghua: the animation, also censored. Probably the most censored adaptation. Pros: very cute art style uwu, it’s still ungoing. Cons: VERY confusing so i do NOT recommend you start with this one. -The Live Action/ The Untamed/cql: the most known adaptation. Pros: oof where to begin. BEAUTIFUL OST, The actors r very high quality and they bring the characters to life PERFECTLY. No one could’ve portrayed them better. Very easy to understand (might have a bit of trouble in the beginning but you get accustomed easily), it shows the flashbacks first, then the present. Despite being censored, it does an EXCELLENT job at displaying the mutual love between wwx and lwj and while it doesn’t show any explicit romance, it compensates with other very sweet and beautiful scenes that leaves you with no doubt that wangxian are in love, 50 episodes!!( seems like a lot but you’ll be wishing for more), the behind the scenes of the drama r so worth watching!!, I could go on but basically. The Untamed is the best adaptation to start with imo cause it really introduces you to the world and prepares you for the rest of the adaptations. Cons: a lot of fans only watch this adaptation, not really a con but kinda annoying sometimes, lack of explicit romance, changed various points of the original story to fit the drama better but nothing that would drastically affect the story. -Audio Drama: beautiful. Simply beautiful. Has 3 seasons +extras. Pros: it’s like hearing the novel, the most true to the novel with the manhwa. Cons: not much really. It’s just like the novel but only voices and no explicit sex scenes (only kissing) -The Manhwa: it’s still ongoing so definitely don’t start with this one lol. It’s very cute so far and very true to the novel tho uwu. - The jpn Audio Drama: it just started last week and there’s there’s no translation so far so not much we can do about that. So that’s it!! I hope you enjoy this beautiful world of the author Mxtx and after you finish mdzs don’t forget to check out her other works such as tgcf and svsss. Both bl and very cute just like mdzs. A lot of the mdzs fandom also stan these other two novels so you’ll see them often on the tl. Thank u 💜 Edit: yall this is just my opinion and yall can start with whatever adaptation yall want. This is just me giving advise on MY experience on getting into the mdzs story. I never said which adaptation is better, just my opinion on which adaptation might be better to START with. Stop gatekeeping this story and let ppl enjoy however they wanna enjoy. Some ppl might just want to reas the novel while some ppl might just want to watch the series, either way, they’re supporting the story and loving the characters, doesn’t matter which version they like best
Maybe the only con for the jpn Audio Drama is that all the names were changed and adapated to japanese. So, it's like having to learn every name all over again.
yessss, i was literally going to start typing about all the adaptations but this was more useful 👌. more information for people is that jiang Cheng is actually wei wuxian's brother 😂. And all the characters have like three names, example wei wuxian also has wei ying and yiling laozhu/patriach. And lan wangji can also be called lan zhan, huangguang-jun, lan-er gege, etc. There was also the other arc which has xue yang, song lan and xiao xingchen that was also in the video. And another of mxtx (mo xiang tong xiu's other novel) which is Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven's Official Blessing) that was shown in the video at 13:57.

Gurl, you just jumped feet-first into one of the angstiest fandoms I've ever been in - angst is literally our lifeblood 😂 yeah, stay away from Twitter drama, keep to art posts and AO3 peeps This is actually second novel from Moxiang Tongxiu, two more released (Heaven Offical's Blessing and Scum Villain's Self-Saving System) and all three will have/have donghua/animation adaptation, they're that good! Also, ready to dive in? Get ready to be EXTREMELY frustrated at miscommunication issues between couples. And annoying people who actually do their job if being minor antagonists too well. And Jiang family knives 🔪🔪🔪🔪 And Lan family being dramatic asses (yes, all of them: Xichen, Wangji and Qiren) And Yi City Arc (aka the biggest cryfest after Jiang family knives imho) In short, be ready to hate how obsessed you're gonna be ☺️ sorry for the long post, but there's a lot to unpack here
Oh geez i just came back from heaven officials blessing and that was such a ride. I feel like its gonna take months before ive recovered from xie lians "sword-stabby stabby" experience and o god so many twists and red herrings. Just mwah :*
Haven't read the novels, but this immediately puts my mind in the gutter. Please say it means what I think it means. (Please give me yet another reason to read the novels. XD)
Having watched the cartoon, I have to say two things: 1) The art is simply gorgeous and I loved every minute of it 2) Unfortunately, it doesn't show any canon gay moments that many fans of the novels were waiting to see ( I guess due to the fact that Chinese television didn't want to show it but I could be wrong ) Either way, I'm so happy that you will watch it, I'm looking forward to your opinion on it. I really enjoyed it, even though I was disappointed with the second season.
its illegal in china, so they had to work around that bit. but they snuck some things by, like the part with the rooster, i cracked up when coley mentioned it because most people didnt catch the innuendo. lmao
@@olmive3349 Very carefully lol. It's opened the way for several more too! I know of at least 7 other popular BL novels that are being made into dramas in 2020! It's very exciting!
OMFG OMFG MY STORY "THE LONG MOURNING JOURNEY" IS FEATURED HERE 😭😭😭😭 It's been ages since I made an update but just because she talked about it imma continue
@@samuraix558 He's not? Donghua went the "wwx probably got eaten by his corpses" route. CQL went the "yeeted himself off the cliff" route (and no, no matter how you look at it, he already threw himself off the cliff before either lwj or jc reached him). Book went "bish it was so traumatic wwx doesn't remember it" route. MDZS is brilliant but wwx is an unreliable narrator. People tend to do the same as lwj, but not every single person in MDZS knows the facts. The rumors are even more unreliable, because who spreads them? Who stands to gain from those rumors? God knows it's not the purple grumphead who barely tolerates talking to people.
@@samuraix558 he can't have, anyway. Yunmeng Jiang has barely any manpower, no resources and next to none political power. They both dislike politics, but wwx knew what he was doing, impulsive they may be. "I can't protect you anymore" is a line said by jc for this reason. Even if he wanted to, he can't. And he wouldn't really want to, his capture in the first place meant he has trauma against the wen sect.
How to watch Mo Dao Zu Shi: • Donghua or Manhua - the animation and comic allow you to associate a name to a face, both follow the canon well and both are incomplete so you have some mystery left for when you read the novel. •Novel ( if you don't want to read the explicit scenes, the Chinese audio drama works in replacement too) You get the whole story while also not being confused by the names and lore because you've had a visual medium introduce them to you. Now you know the whole story. •The Untamed (drama) - Once you know the story and the names you can go to a less faithful and more fanfic like adaptation. You've Read the novel so you aren't confused about what's canon and what's adaptation original. You can appreciate its new moments and spin on the original novel. It's a good mix of "the story you know and love" and fresh content. Some of the characters are also different from how you remember (notably Wei Wuxian) and it's almost like getting to know them again. (Don't consume this one first because it's world/characters are significantly different from the other adaptations, and you should really only be watch it after you can distinguish between the two. Or else it's a mix of spoilers and new content that'll make the novel confusing once you read it.) • Japanese Audio Drama (just released!) The characters have slightly different names (duh it's Japanese~) so it's best that you are well versed with the original names before hand just to avoid the confusion. This one will probably be just as explicit as the novel. Can be consumed before the untamed. We don't know how much it will diverge, odds are it'll be a shoe in for the novel.~
@@EveRosell They actually didn’t change much, they just left out a lot. The drama actually takes some different turns, almost making it a “canon-divergent” thing.
the novel is the original, and my personal favorite. i believe you can read it on the exiled rebel scanlations website. they used to translate the manhua but they dropped it because fans were just being rude
@@user-bs1yz1di9h nah they weren't rude. They were little sensitive pussies who can't take a damm joke and us fans who support Exiled Rebels also have to suffer for the other "fans" mistake.
Just some information about the names: In the time period of the drama, people usually have two names. Their birth name and their courtesy name. Courtesy names are given when they come of age, and they are often used by ppl outside of family and close friends as a form of respect. So sometimes if you address someone you don't know very well by their birth name, it's considered rude. The red and black guy's birth name is Wei Ying, and his courtesy name is Wei Wu Xian. The birth name of the guy in white robes is Lan Zhan, and his courtesy name is Lan Wang Ji. Keep note of what names the WangXian couple uses for each other throughout the drama, cos then you'll be able to see some interesting nuances in their r/s ;) Sometimes LWJ may be referred to as HanGuang Jun, but that's just a formal title. Another thing which might be interesting is that LWJ has a twin brother (I forgot which one is older) and his name is Lan Xi Chen (birth name Lan Huan). You should be able to differentiate them fairly easily in the drama, but if you haven't seen the donghua/manhwa yet, just know that LWJ's bangs come over his forehead ribbon, and LXC's bangs are under his forehead ribbon. And if you're worried about the purple guy being the homewrecker, don't worry! His name is Jiang Wan Yin (birth name Jiang Cheng) and he's WWX's adoptive brother. (WWX is the adopted one). They have a pretty close relationship, but there's a lot of misunderstandings and circumstances that separated the two during the plot. So if you're up to some (really good) sibling drama angst, this would be a great story for you to watch/read. Also (in my opinion) JWY isn't that bad. He might seem like a villian but his actions are understandable due to circumstances and pressure from society. He needs a hug and a nap. (Also I think some ppl ship LXC and JWY tgt :)) So glad that you're diving into this fandom! There's a lot of plot buildup and excellent character development, so I hope you'll enjoy! I recommend reading the manhwa (comic) first, then watching the donghua (animated series) before reading the novel (optional) but that's just my personal opinion. If you're planning on reading the novel, have a bunch of tissues on hand (esp at the middle to the end) cos you will ugly cry so hard. (Also the animated series is available on UA-cam under a channel called Tencent Video, compiled under a playlist. There's English subtitles too.) Have fun!
13:58 that's actually not MDZS. That's TGCF. (Tian Guan Ci Fu/Heaven Official's Blessing). It's made by the same author that wrote MDZS and it's *chef's kiss*. Hopefully you do another deep dive with that too!!
Hui Yi Chow Also, there’s a Mo Dao Zu Shi wiki that’s very helpful, but I’d recommend watching the drama once through before using it, because it’s very spoileriffic.
@@Mica_T This can be easy interpreted as non-romanticsl thing, you know. And even if it's some romantical one, let it be. It's not like they have some romantical tension in og novel, anyways.
@Everyday is Everyday Okay just to clarify. I've been in this fandom for a while now so I know JC is his brother 😅 Not exactly sure why I decided to put a timestamp 3 weeks ago 🤔
so, while looking for MDZS stuff(13:58), at the begining(red wedding clothing etc.)there was TGCF(Heaven Official's Blessing), wihich is written by the same author, it's definitely worth looking into, super immersing in my opinion, and so interesting! just like mdzs it will get donghua(there is trailer already! and it's! so! lovely!) and (possibly) drama adaptation too(tho i'm not sure). Tgcf already has manhua, but there aren't many chapters released, it's quite new, but the artwork is just.. like really beautiful(in my humble opinion x) ) sorry for my bad english xd, and like, barging in and talking completely off topic xD and HuaLian invented love, goodbye if anyone is interested in more works by that author, there is one more story written by them - Scum Villan's Self-Saving System ( SVSSS), also amazing xD
Mania Walker I actually ended up liking TGCF more than MDZS.. It was just so good like the plot was so interesting and I’m heartbroken ;-; and YES the art of the manwah is so effing good I can’t believe it every panel is like a masterpiece !!
@@stopprocrastinating4181 SAME, well, so far i only finished mdzs donghua and i'm i the middle of watching the untamed, i heaven't read the novel of mdzs but i am near finished with TGCF and IT IS HEAVENLY (pun intended x) ), the plot and the characters and the amount of it!( i mean chapters) i liked SVSSS but it's definitely not the same, tho i think it was good. So to sum it up, can't say about mdzs novel (i adore dongua but again tgcf doesn't have its yet so can't yet compare), and i probably spoiled myself with tgcf becouse i think i won't find any other novel as good xD Now i'm just wondering what will be the pacing in the tgcf donghua, it has a lot to cover but will they go for it? Or will they cut a lot ? And what will they cut? (Well obvoius moments they will, but, will they take bits from plot?? Or characters?? That makes me worried a little ;-;)
Mania Walker well you just have to read MDZS novel and you’ll see maybe you’ll like it even more than tgcf ! And if you’re searching for other novel in the same genre I’d recommend you check out novel’s update. They have all the Chinese (and else) novel classified. Also I’m currently reading « The husky and his white cat shizun » and i absolutely love it ! If you’ve liked mxtx’s novels you would definitely like it ! For the tgcf manwah I thing they’re forced to cut stuff and if I didn’t read the novel before I don’t think I would have understand even the first chapter lmao. Obviously it’s hard to translate this complicated and long story in a limited chapter :/ but well I think it’s still good !
The whole reincarnation thing... well it’s not spoiling but it’s at the beginning of story! Wei Wuxian is reincarnated into another body through a self-sacrificial ritual, (or how the story calls Transmigrated) 13 years of his death! I hope you will dive more into the series because it’s so deep and complex and I haven’t even gotten to the Audio drama or Live action!!! *cough* anyways I hope that with everything people have told you in comments you’ll be well informed and love the series just as much as we do uwu
No One uuuuuhhh about mdzs? It’s basically a novel by MXTX that adapted into a donghua (anime), a manhua (comic), and TV drama, it’s becoming an audio drama in Japan. If you want to know more about it type “Mo Dan Zu Shi” in Novel Updates; there’s three main stories by MXTX: Mo Dao Zu Shi, Scum Villain Self-Saving System, and Heaven’s Official Blessing, there’s also a fourth book under wraps.
DONT WATCH IT, you’ll become obsessed and your emotions will be a mess, you’ll always be in tears and ahhhhhh (it’s amazing, too amazing, far to dangerous)
I love this fandom so much. I love those two soulmates and their beautiful radish son. I love how Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian only ever agree when their big sister is involved. I love how Lan Xichen is the captain of our ship. I love how Nie Huaisang is actually a diabolical mastermind. I love the Juniors, and their chaotic shenanigans. I love how Jin Ling has exactly *zero* sane uncles. I love our Demonic Cultivating crackhead.
I didn't even get to the 5-minute mark before zooming into Netflix to watch the first episode XD I'll tell you my thoughts once I've watched it, see you in 45 minutes
"He's in the rain" Oh sis. Don't even get me started. The whole scene where Wei ying helps the wens escape and there's rain and lan wangji was told to stop him. *Sigh* that whole scene was a mood.
Girl, you've never met soulmates like Hualian! MXTX bless our souls. A few years ago I read the manhua for MDZS and lemme tell you, getting back into the fandom now is literally the most addictive I've ever consumed a piece of media. The donghua, drama cds, novel, The Untamed, holy ducks. And in the middle of that I got addicted to Scum Villain's Self-Saving System and I read the whole thing in 4 days. Please someone talk to me about this amazing author I want to spill this pool of endless information and commentary into the next fool who's willing to listen. Dear Coley, pls dive depper I trust u wont be the same afterwards
SHE: " I just wanna boop his face! " ME: Welcome to our daily life, Coley!! And yes, no one could bring them to life better than Xiao Zhan And Wang YiBo..... PERIOD!!
Finally a popular UA-camr I follow covers a bl drama, and I'm freaking crying, it's one of the tiny list of ones that I haven't watched. I didn't watch it because I don't like to consume media with dudes with long hair unless it's Matsumoto Jun or Masaki Suda, and I still stand by that decision. Have a nice day mam.
ARE YOU READING MY MIND? i was just about to ask you to watch this show and you come out with this video! My mother i love you. Everyone stan talent stan wang yibo and xiao zhan, they deserve so much more recognition and love
Okay the speech is mine!! XD Offf I love this serie so muchh!! It is a chinese web novel, it's a bl, kinda long but amazing! I think you can read it on novelupdates.com but not sure It also has a anime, audio dranma, japanese audio drama (came out about 1 week ago), live action and a manhua... I don't recommend you watching the anime first because you might not understand the plot, and the 2nd season was s**** So read the novel first please T-T And btw the white one is the seme and his name is Lan WangJi The novelist also has 2 more novels abd they are amazing too! It's just awesome T^T The video from 15:58 is from the third novel, my favourite ♡♡
Coley search the following things to know about the purest parts of Wangxian: 1. Incense Burner 2. Every day means everyday Also, their child is literally the sweetest cinnamon roll in the universe. Also, Jiang Cheng sucks. I just.. ghahdixjnsisisnwhshdbd I'm very very mad at him but he's not a homewrecker in the way you're thinking. Hehehehe but yeah he does give that vibe from the distance lmao As someone who has seen all 50 episodes of the drama, watched both season of the Donghua (NOT cartoon please don't call it that I beg you), read the novel and now just lay wasted on ao3.. GOD WATCH IT! You'll not regret it. I mean The Untamed is a freaking MASTERPIECE and the authoress MXTX is our Lord and saviour! I read another novel of hers called 'Tian Guan Ci Fu/Heaven Official's Blessing' and it's like this woman is a master at making amazing stories! By the way it is also getting a live action soon 😍😍 Anyway, I hope you enjoy the show and the beautiful love story of Wangxian! Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are simply outstanding in this! I couldn't believe when I read that Yibo is only 22!
hey...jiang cheng is just grumpy and you need to see some things from his pov too... i did get very angry at him at times but i know he still deeply cares for wwx even tho he doesn't let it show id say...
l u n a jiang cheng needs to be understood more. lived his whole life misunderstood and compared and he takes it out on himself and others by being angry and confused that IM angry and confused at him. someone PLEASE just give him a hug
So like I really love how UA-cam reccomended me this after 1 year AND THE FACT I WAS GOING TO RECCOMEND YOU (somehow) TO WATCH MDZS I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS VEDIO.

I'm half tempted to leave you and your newly found discoveries alone and half tempted to take you down the WangXian / WuJi rabbit hole (hehe, rabbit) with me 👀👀👀
MDZS is based on a Chinese BL novel of the same name it’s also known as Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. You can find the actual novel on the website Exiledrebelsscanlations.com and you can find the audio drama, which sticks closer to the novel on Tumblr @SuibianSubs while The Untamed is a great live action, that gayness is more viable on these sites.
you should definately concider adding youtube to this!
MDZS had some *FANTASTIC* fanmade songs w/ art and animatics !

That joke is even funnier when you realise that offering a rooster was a marriage tradition in ancient China.

"I've never seen this dude not smiling"

That depends. I love The Untamed but i have some issues with Wangxian's relationship in the original novel. Frankly, I prefer Wangxian's relationship in the live action better (despite the censorship) than the novel and manhua.

Lan Wangji basically took the "I love you bitch" meme and made it into a super power hence him having his harp thing on him at all times

In fact married and they raised a child together. It's canon. *Please read the novel it's very heavy but it's worth it*
Either that or read the manhua, or you can hear the audio drama, they both have the canon romantic moments.
Unfortunately, because of Chinas laws banning homosexual content they couldn't bring the romance to the live action and the donghua (anime;cartoon). But, they (the staff for both) always had the intention to represent them as a couple. If you look closely, in both adaptations there are details that directly confirm that they love each other, but they are sneaky.
The book and the drama...broke me :))) I have nothing in my life other than MDZS, WangXian, YiZhan, Untamed now

girl there ain't no drama in this house, the fandom is too busy being heartbroken even 9 months after reading the novel for any more drama xD
There is a little bit.
Her first work, System, is either liked ot hated (Mo Dao and HoB are loved by everyone).
@@EveRosell well yeah,, both of the s*x scenes (in mdzs and svsss) are reallly close to dub con/non con. I personally enjoyed both main stories but the endings were kinda.. not my stuff. Idk if it was because of the censor or that she matured, but i was kinda glad that she didnt "ruin" hualian's sweet vanilla image yk
@@ritella6601
Not all authors can write good erotic content. I love her characters and plot.
Their romantic interaction is great (except in system), but I think s*x scenes are no good (I like them consensual, so yeah).
Author just doesn't write those scenes well in my opinion.
There's nothing wrong with that, though, being able to write good s*x scenes is a separate talent in itself.
I enjoy her MDZS and HOB plot and romance nonetheless.
you'd be surprised about how much drama I've seen on twitter, it was a mess a few months ago
@@EveRosell Honestly, as I read SVSSS, I ended up not shipping the main ship at all because their interactions were super dubcon-y and the less said about chapter 80 the better. I ended up shipping liushen over bingqiu and proceeded to be sad over the fact it won't be requited.

This is one of the fandoms where the storyline is really complex and uses a lot of old Chinese Asian type of traditions. So it might be kind of confusing for western fans but I suggest you guys reading the novel, it’s so worth it! There’s an English translation available online. And the comic which is (called a Manhwa in Mandarin), it’s really nice as well the audio drama is spicy but unfortunately I don’t think there is an English version available on UA-cam since it would be best to purchase it to support the creators. You are able to watch the drama on UA-cam the channel Tencent posted all the episodes with English subtitles. I’m so glad you got the chance to visit the fandom it’s such a golden gem that we cannot forget!!!! Top: Lan Wang Ji Bottom: Wei Wu Xian
Their love is so beautiful...it’s to die for honestly ❤️
the audio drama is free if u join the discord server
Yay English translations!
guess I already have plans for this weekend
I was hesitant to read the novel since it was kinda intimidating lol but as soon as I started it took over my life and I don’t regret anything
I'm not sure if many people can understand Mandarin but if you are an ABC like me and can understand it, please try to buy the original. It's super cheap, like 5 USD for a whole season, and there r 3 seasons. plus there are a bunch of extra's and little Wen Yuan (LSZ) is SOOOO CUTE!!!!!
The post that really got me into it was "They are married with a child" with few cute pics of them staring in their eyes in The Untamed on Twitter. And when I saw comments below it I was shocked to find out that it was not a joke, in canon (the original novel) they end up married and they did in a way raise a child "together".
WWX and LWJ are cannon and married in the novel! You can read it online in English by exiled rebel scans
"Is that your ex-boyfriend?" I literally had to stop the video to die laughing omg. His brother, is martial younger brother but there ARE fics of him and WWX...
I haven't read the Untamed (yet), but oh...oh no-
Wait wha~~~
WHAT
*Really* !!!!!!!
Coley: *sees Xue Yang * ooooh he looks so tender~~~
I'M SCREAMING
I love how u called jiang cheng a home wrecker 😂😂 now a useful tip on what adaptation to start with this beautiful series:
There’s currently 6 adaptations:
- The Novel: pros: it’s not censored, much more detailed, wangxian married. cons: might be a bit confusing if you start with this one, and you might be a bit disappointed to follow with the other adaptations after since most of them don’t explicitly show wangxian as a couple.
-The Donghua: the animation, also censored. Probably the most censored adaptation.
Pros: very cute art style uwu, it’s still ungoing.
Cons: VERY confusing so i do NOT recommend you start with this one.
-The Live Action/ The Untamed/cql: the most known adaptation.
Pros: oof where to begin. BEAUTIFUL OST, The actors r very high quality and they bring the characters to life PERFECTLY. No one could’ve portrayed them better. Very easy to understand (might have a bit of trouble in the beginning but you get accustomed easily), it shows the flashbacks first, then the present. Despite being censored, it does an EXCELLENT job at displaying the mutual love between wwx and lwj and while it doesn’t show any explicit romance, it compensates with other very sweet and beautiful scenes that leaves you with no doubt that wangxian are in love, 50 episodes!!( seems like a lot but you’ll be wishing for more), the behind the scenes of the drama r so worth watching!!, I could go on but basically. The Untamed is the best adaptation to start with imo cause it really introduces you to the world and prepares you for the rest of the adaptations.
Cons: a lot of fans only watch this adaptation, not really a con but kinda annoying sometimes, lack of explicit romance, changed various points of the original story to fit the drama better but nothing that would drastically affect the story.
-Audio Drama: beautiful. Simply beautiful. Has 3 seasons +extras.
Pros: it’s like hearing the novel, the most true to the novel with the manhwa.
Cons: not much really. It’s just like the novel but only voices and no explicit sex scenes (only kissing)
-The Manhwa: it’s still ongoing so definitely don’t start with this one lol. It’s very cute so far and very true to the novel tho uwu.
- The jpn Audio Drama: it just started last week and there’s there’s no translation so far so not much we can do about that.
So that’s it!! I hope you enjoy this beautiful world of the author Mxtx and after you finish mdzs don’t forget to check out her other works such as tgcf and svsss. Both bl and very cute just like mdzs. A lot of the mdzs fandom also stan these other two novels so you’ll see them often on the tl. Thank u 💜
Edit: yall this is just my opinion and yall can start with whatever adaptation yall want. This is just me giving advise on MY experience on getting into the mdzs story. I never said which adaptation is better, just my opinion on which adaptation might be better to START with. Stop gatekeeping this story and let ppl enjoy however they wanna enjoy. Some ppl might just want to reas the novel while some ppl might just want to watch the series, either way, they’re supporting the story and loving the characters, doesn’t matter which version they like best
Maybe the only con for the jpn Audio Drama is that all the names were changed and adapated to japanese. So, it's like having to learn every name all over again.
yessss, i was literally going to start typing about all the adaptations but this was more useful 👌.
more information for people is that jiang Cheng is actually wei wuxian's brother 😂. And all the characters have like three names, example wei wuxian also has wei ying and yiling laozhu/patriach. And lan wangji can also be called lan zhan, huangguang-jun, lan-er gege, etc.
There was also the other arc which has xue yang, song lan and xiao xingchen that was also in the video.
And another of mxtx (mo xiang tong xiu's other novel) which is Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven's Official Blessing) that was shown in the video at 13:57.
There are subs for the jpn audio drama in the 3PA discord

@@samuraix558 He's not? Donghua went the "wwx probably got eaten by his corpses" route. CQL went the "yeeted himself off the cliff" route (and no, no matter how you look at it, he already threw himself off the cliff before either lwj or jc reached him). Book went "bish it was so traumatic wwx doesn't remember it" route. MDZS is brilliant but wwx is an unreliable narrator. People tend to do the same as lwj, but not every single person in MDZS knows the facts. The rumors are even more unreliable, because who spreads them? Who stands to gain from those rumors? God knows it's not the purple grumphead who barely tolerates talking to people.

How to watch Mo Dao Zu Shi:
• Donghua or Manhua - the animation and comic allow you to associate a name to a face, both follow the canon well and both are incomplete so you have some mystery left for when you read the novel.
•Novel ( if you don't want to read the explicit scenes, the Chinese audio drama works in replacement too) You get the whole story while also not being confused by the names and lore because you've had a visual medium introduce them to you. Now you know the whole story.
•The Untamed (drama) - Once you know the story and the names you can go to a less faithful and more fanfic like adaptation. You've Read the novel so you aren't confused about what's canon and what's adaptation original. You can appreciate its new moments and spin on the original novel. It's a good mix of "the story you know and love" and fresh content. Some of the characters are also different from how you remember (notably Wei Wuxian) and it's almost like getting to know them again. (Don't consume this one first because it's world/characters are significantly different from the other adaptations, and you should really only be watch it after you can distinguish between the two. Or else it's a mix of spoilers and new content that'll make the novel confusing once you read it.)
• Japanese Audio Drama (just released!) The characters have slightly different names (duh it's Japanese~) so it's best that you are well versed with the original names before hand just to avoid the confusion. This one will probably be just as explicit as the novel. Can be consumed before the untamed. We don't know how much it will diverge, odds are it'll be a shoe in for the novel.~
This is really helpful! Tysm
Please stop calling donghua adaptation faithful.
It changes lots of story parts.
Drama is more true to the original in that regard.
@@EveRosell They actually didn’t change much, they just left out a lot. The drama actually takes some different turns, almost making it a “canon-divergent” thing.
"Reincarnation seems to be a theme"
gurl u dont even know
Order I'm watching it in:
-Live Action (The Untamed)
-Donghua
-Manhua
-Novel
-Audio Dramas (Chinese and Japanese)
same! this is the order all my mdzs friends vouched for :D
I watched it like.
Donghua
Manhua
Novel
Live action
the novel is the original, and my personal favorite. i believe you can read it on the exiled rebel scanlations website. they used to translate the manhua but they dropped it because fans were just being rude
@@user-bs1yz1di9h nah they weren't rude. They were little sensitive pussies who can't take a damm joke and us fans who support Exiled Rebels also have to suffer for the other "fans" mistake.
where can i watch the live action?
That one dislike is from Jiang Cheng (aka the purple home wrecker)
Just some information about the names: In the time period of the drama, people usually have two names. Their birth name and their courtesy name. Courtesy names are given when they come of age, and they are often used by ppl outside of family and close friends as a form of respect. So sometimes if you address someone you don't know very well by their birth name, it's considered rude. The red and black guy's birth name is Wei Ying, and his courtesy name is Wei Wu Xian. The birth name of the guy in white robes is Lan Zhan, and his courtesy name is Lan Wang Ji. Keep note of what names the WangXian couple uses for each other throughout the drama, cos then you'll be able to see some interesting nuances in their r/s ;)
Sometimes LWJ may be referred to as HanGuang Jun, but that's just a formal title. Another thing which might be interesting is that LWJ has a twin brother (I forgot which one is older) and his name is Lan Xi Chen (birth name Lan Huan). You should be able to differentiate them fairly easily in the drama, but if you haven't seen the donghua/manhwa yet, just know that LWJ's bangs come over his forehead ribbon, and LXC's bangs are under his forehead ribbon.
And if you're worried about the purple guy being the homewrecker, don't worry! His name is Jiang Wan Yin (birth name Jiang Cheng) and he's WWX's adoptive brother. (WWX is the adopted one). They have a pretty close relationship, but there's a lot of misunderstandings and circumstances that separated the two during the plot. So if you're up to some (really good) sibling drama angst, this would be a great story for you to watch/read. Also (in my opinion) JWY isn't that bad. He might seem like a villian but his actions are understandable due to circumstances and pressure from society. He needs a hug and a nap.
(Also I think some ppl ship LXC and JWY tgt :))
So glad that you're diving into this fandom! There's a lot of plot buildup and excellent character development, so I hope you'll enjoy! I recommend reading the manhwa (comic) first, then watching the donghua (animated series) before reading the novel (optional) but that's just my personal opinion. If you're planning on reading the novel, have a bunch of tissues on hand (esp at the middle to the end) cos you will ugly cry so hard.
(Also the animated series is available on UA-cam under a channel called Tencent Video, compiled under a playlist. There's English subtitles too.)
Have fun!
LXC is older than LWJ by 4 years, I think. Maybe 3. They just look identical.
@@singmeunder Whoops, you right! Didn't properly check before. Thanks for catching that mistake.
Thank god there’s no home wrecker in MDZS. Idk if that’d be cringy or just sad

Get a notepad ready, you might need it since everyone has at least like 3 names.

@@Mica_T This can be easy interpreted as non-romanticsl thing, you know. And even if it's some romantical one, let it be. It's not like they have some romantical tension in og novel, anyways.
@Everyday is Everyday Okay just to clarify. I've been in this fandom for a while now so I know JC is his brother 😅
Not exactly sure why I decided to put a timestamp 3 weeks ago 🤔
so, while looking for MDZS stuff(13:58), at the begining(red wedding clothing etc.)there was TGCF(Heaven Official's Blessing), wihich is written by the same author, it's definitely worth looking into, super immersing in my opinion, and so interesting! just like mdzs it will get donghua(there is trailer already! and it's! so! lovely!) and (possibly) drama adaptation too(tho i'm not sure). Tgcf already has manhua, but there aren't many chapters released, it's quite new, but the artwork is just.. like really beautiful(in my humble opinion x) )
sorry for my bad english xd, and like, barging in and talking completely off topic xD
and HuaLian invented love, goodbye
if anyone is interested in more works by that author, there is one more story written by them - Scum Villan's Self-Saving System ( SVSSS), also amazing xD
Mania Walker I actually ended up liking TGCF more than MDZS.. It was just so good like the plot was so interesting and I’m heartbroken ;-; and YES the art of the manwah is so effing good I can’t believe it every panel is like a masterpiece !!
@@stopprocrastinating4181 SAME, well, so far i only finished mdzs donghua and i'm i the middle of watching the untamed, i heaven't read the novel of mdzs but i am near finished with TGCF and IT IS HEAVENLY (pun intended x) ), the plot and the characters and the amount of it!( i mean chapters) i liked SVSSS but it's definitely not the same, tho i think it was good. So to sum it up, can't say about mdzs novel (i adore dongua but again tgcf doesn't have its yet so can't yet compare), and i probably spoiled myself with tgcf becouse i think i won't find any other novel as good xD
Now i'm just wondering what will be the pacing in the tgcf donghua, it has a lot to cover but will they go for it? Or will they cut a lot ? And what will they cut? (Well obvoius moments they will, but, will they take bits from plot?? Or characters?? That makes me worried a little ;-;)
Mania Walker well you just have to read MDZS novel and you’ll see maybe you’ll like it even more than tgcf ! And if you’re searching for other novel in the same genre I’d recommend you check out novel’s update. They have all the Chinese (and else) novel classified. Also I’m currently reading « The husky and his white cat shizun » and i absolutely love it ! If you’ve liked mxtx’s novels you would definitely like it ! For the tgcf manwah I thing they’re forced to cut stuff and if I didn’t read the novel before I don’t think I would have understand even the first chapter lmao. Obviously it’s hard to translate this complicated and long story in a limited chapter :/ but well I think it’s still good !
@@stopprocrastinating4181 yeah, erha is really really good even I think that it's more angsty than tgcf
Prunus serrulata yeah definitely here for a good rollercoaster lol
9:25 "God he looks so tender"
Me, having seen The Untamed: THAT MAN IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. HE IS NOT TENDER DO NOT BE FOOLED
Coley: “Oh is that his ex boyfriend?”
Me: “Oh nO THATS HIS BrOther!”
8:36
The whole reincarnation thing... well it’s not spoiling but it’s at the beginning of story! Wei Wuxian is reincarnated into another body through a self-sacrificial ritual, (or how the story calls Transmigrated) 13 years of his death! I hope you will dive more into the series because it’s so deep and complex and I haven’t even gotten to the Audio drama or Live action!!! *cough* anyways I hope that with everything people have told you in comments you’ll be well informed and love the series just as much as we do uwu
I don’t know what going on
NOT A SINGLE THING
No One uuuuuhhh about mdzs? It’s basically a novel by MXTX that adapted into a donghua (anime), a manhua (comic), and TV drama, it’s becoming an audio drama in Japan. If you want to know more about it type “Mo Dan Zu Shi” in Novel Updates; there’s three main stories by MXTX: Mo Dao Zu Shi, Scum Villain Self-Saving System, and Heaven’s Official Blessing, there’s also a fourth book under wraps.
@@bw4008 :3
B W thank you so much
When you posted this I literally squealed omg yas I need more people talking about this!
DONT WATCH IT, you’ll become obsessed and your emotions will be a mess, you’ll always be in tears and ahhhhhh (it’s amazing, too amazing, far to dangerous)
8:31 no offense I know you don't know much about the characters yet but I laughed so hard when you called Jiang Cheng his ex 😂
Spicy you say? Ohhh!!!
*After seeing the image and the deep dive to the fanbase*
That’s hot..
You *need* to read the book! You'll love it.
I was so confused when I suddenly saw heaven official’s blessing edit
Omg finally I can relate to someone! :OOO
And the fact that when you searched up AO3 and did the filter and scrolled, I realized I read them all I-
her calling Jiang Cheng a homewrecker throughout this video was almost funnier than her calling Xue Yang tender and getting in the feels for him
I love this fandom so much. I love those two soulmates and their beautiful radish son. I love how Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian only ever agree when their big sister is involved. I love how Lan Xichen is the captain of our ship. I love how Nie Huaisang is actually a diabolical mastermind. I love the Juniors, and their chaotic shenanigans. I love how Jin Ling has exactly *zero* sane uncles. I love our Demonic Cultivating crackhead.
Jiang Cheng is one of Wei Wuxian’s adopted siblings lmao
you literally need to get into this LMFAO it's so good but as soon as you get in there's no going out, i've been stuck for 3 years and counting
Lmaooo meee been stuck here since 2018
It’s only been a month but I can already tell this is a lifetime commitment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't even get to the 5-minute mark before zooming into Netflix to watch the first episode XD I'll tell you my thoughts once I've watched it, see you in 45 minutes
Been 22 hours ARE YOU OKAY???
I'm worried it's been 3 days...is the drama that good😂
Watch the DONGHUA
ITS BALLER
It's been 3 months. You ok? You still alive after that?
Oh boy, I hope you’re diving REALLY deep into this fandom, because you need to know about what Bichen means in the fandom ;).
"He's in the rain"
Oh sis. Don't even get me started. The whole scene where Wei ying helps the wens escape and there's rain and lan wangji was told to stop him.
*Sigh* that whole scene was a mood.
Oh my God, yes! You found MDZS! Welcome to magical soulmate boy hell!
Girl, you've never met soulmates like Hualian!
MXTX bless our souls.
A few years ago I read the manhua for MDZS and lemme tell you, getting back into the fandom now is literally the most addictive I've ever consumed a piece of media. The donghua, drama cds, novel, The Untamed, holy ducks. And in the middle of that I got addicted to Scum Villain's Self-Saving System and I read the whole thing in 4 days. Please someone talk to me about this amazing author I want to spill this pool of endless information and commentary into the next fool who's willing to listen. Dear Coley, pls dive depper I trust u wont be the same afterwards
SHE: " I just wanna boop his face! "
ME: Welcome to our daily life, Coley!!
And yes, no one could bring them to life better than Xiao Zhan And Wang YiBo..... PERIOD!!
Agree..cant imagine another actor as wuxian..xiao zhan smile can melt a stubborn stone like lan wangji😄
Son perfectos como WWX y LWJ incluso la química que tienen hace soñar en que ese amor traspasara la pantalla y sean pareja en la vida real
I love how Heaven Official’s Blessing is kind of getting mangled in here 😂
2:06 OMG HE'S HOLDING A-YUAN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Calling Lan Xichen handsome squidward HAD ME DYING! LMAO
You know you're too deep into fandoms in general when you start squealing over fandoms you're not even in
I am dying at Coley calling Jiang Cheng a homewrecker oh my goodness
No please theyre *brothers*
"So they are a home-wrecker!" Coley is so wrong about that and right about other stuff it's funny.
the tgcf edit in the middle of all of this kasbsksm
I was wondering when you'd find The Untamed!
I WAS JUST THINKING YOU SHOULD COVER THIS YESTERDAY
Finally a popular UA-camr I follow covers a bl drama, and I'm freaking crying, it's one of the tiny list of ones that I haven't watched.
I didn't watch it because I don't like to consume media with dudes with long hair unless it's Matsumoto Jun or Masaki Suda, and I still stand by that decision.
Have a nice day mam.
What's wrong with long haired men?
@@Sayu277 my standards are too high
MDZS is really popular in China. It won lots of awards
When she calls Zewu-Jun Handsome Squidward 🥴🥴🥴
Two seconds later when she calls XueYang tender 🥶🥶🥶🥶
ARE YOU READING MY MIND? i was just about to ask you to watch this show and you come out with this video! My mother i love you. Everyone stan talent stan wang yibo and xiao zhan, they deserve so much more recognition and love
Okay the speech is mine!! XD
Offf I love this serie so muchh!!
It is a chinese web novel, it's a bl, kinda long but amazing!
I think you can read it on novelupdates.com but not sure
It also has a anime, audio dranma, japanese audio drama (came out about 1 week ago), live action and a manhua...
I don't recommend you watching the anime first because you might not understand the plot, and the 2nd season was s****
So read the novel first please T-T
And btw the white one is the seme and his name is Lan WangJi
The novelist also has 2 more novels abd they are amazing too! It's just awesome T^T
The video from 15:58 is from the third novel, my favourite ♡♡
Coley search the following things to know about the purest parts of Wangxian:
1. Incense Burner
2. Every day means everyday
Also, their child is literally the sweetest cinnamon roll in the universe.
Also, Jiang Cheng sucks. I just.. ghahdixjnsisisnwhshdbd I'm very very mad at him but he's not a homewrecker in the way you're thinking. Hehehehe but yeah he does give that vibe from the distance lmao
As someone who has seen all 50 episodes of the drama, watched both season of the Donghua (NOT cartoon please don't call it that I beg you), read the novel and now just lay wasted on ao3.. GOD WATCH IT!
You'll not regret it. I mean The Untamed is a freaking MASTERPIECE and the authoress MXTX is our Lord and saviour! I read another novel of hers called 'Tian Guan Ci Fu/Heaven Official's Blessing' and it's like this woman is a master at making amazing stories! By the way it is also getting a live action soon 😍😍
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the show and the beautiful love story of Wangxian! Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are simply outstanding in this! I couldn't believe when I read that Yibo is only 22!
tthpf “purest parts”
PUREST PARTS LMAO.
hey...jiang cheng is just grumpy and you need to see some things from his pov too... i did get very angry at him at times but i know he still deeply cares for wwx even tho he doesn't let it show id say...
l u n a jiang cheng needs to be understood more. lived his whole life misunderstood and compared and he takes it out on himself and others by being angry and confused that IM angry and confused at him. someone PLEASE just give him a hug
@@user-bs1yz1di9h yeah
"Why are people talking about it?"
ME:Because its beautiful and amazing!
So like I really love how UA-cam reccomended me this after 1 year AND THE FACT I WAS GOING TO RECCOMEND YOU (somehow) TO WATCH MDZS
I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS VEDIO.
I'm replying to my own comment just to warn ya THAT IF YOU'RE WATCHING/PLANNING TO WATCH/(HAVE) ALREADY WATCHED:
this one thing broke me in peices and I still can't move on.
I love how she just keeps saying "whoo, ho, ho, ho" and stuff everytime she sees Wei WuXian and Lan Wangji 🥺💞
