The main reason for me so far is that, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei just had that chemistry/attraction going from the start
Same! I would say that is also the number one factor for me. For me, it doesn't have to do with the age of the characters or actors - I just couldn't *feel* it in The Untamed the way I could in Guardian. There are a number of reasons for that, I think. And one of them is also:
Untamed focuses a lot on the story of the demonic cultivation and things so that takes away time from uh,LanZhanWeiYing moments
Same here too. :-) I don't think that Guardian is thin on plot at all, but what struck me there was how the plot was structured around the central relationship, to move it forward and to continually deepen and enrich it. This is so wonderful and unusual in my experience! The Untamed does it the way I am more used to, namely by winding the relationship around and through the central plot. It's important, but it isn't *central*.
I hope that makes sense to anyone who isn't me! ;-)
Jin Zixuan's actor better looking with his normal hair
Oooh, that's right, I did come across a vid with him in a different drama where he looked nicer... I think they tried to make him look arrogant in a number of ways, including his facial expression, so that certainly didn't help. ;-)
I cannot express how much I LOVE the long hair on Pretty Evil Guy, and I think WWX and LWJ look much better with it, too. And Canary Guy and CBC, too! This especially surprised me because I've never particularly thought long hair loked good on guys, but here... man. Mind changed. ;-)
