The Untamed Collages

A photographic reference to the C-drama The Untamed - Chen Qing Ling - episode by episode, scene by scene. Main blog @korpikorppi

[theuntamedcollages]

This sideblog is a project for making screenshot collages (with some quoted subs) of every scene of every episode of the 2019 C-drama The Untamed, Chen Qing Ling to eventually result in a "photographic reference / guide".

I will start posting from the end of the last episode so that once completed, the scenes and episodes will run in correct order; the later episodes will be posted here directly, but the first 16 or so will be reblogged from my main blog @korpikorppi, where they have already been posted at.

Once I complete an episode, I will list the scenes in episode-specific master posts, which can (eventually) be accessed through the links below.

I accept the blame for the "titles" of the scenes, the quoted subs are either from Viki or from Youtube (WeTV), sometimes combined and slightly fixed, unless mentioned otherwise.

Beware: there will be spoilers!

[theuntamedcollages]

The Untamed, ep48, scene 2:55-10:45: Hate

JC: Never what?! Wei Wuxian, how selfless, how great you are. You've always been going good deeds and being wronged, but only keep it to yourself. How touching. Should I get down on my knees and thank you with tears rolling down?

JL: Uncle, stop it.

WWX: I never wanted you to thank me.

JC: That's right. Doing good deeds and never asking for repayment. Just for your noble personality. Surely different from me. No wonder when Father was alive, he kept saying that you were the one who really understood the Jiang Clan's motto and demeanor.

WWX: Enough.

JC: Enough what?! It's enough when you say it's enough? You know best. You're better than me at everything. Talent. Cultivation. Intelligence. Temperament. You all know. I am not that noble. Then what am I?!

JL: Uncle, your injuries!

LWJ: Clan Leader Jiang, be careful not to go too far.

LXC: Clan Leader Jiang, you have to calm down. I am afraid the more you talk, the worse your wound will get.

JC: Why, Wei Wuxian? Tell me why!

WWX: Why what?

JC: The Jiang Clan gave you so much. I was his own son. I was the successor of the Jiang Clan! But for all those years, you always got more than me in everything! Care growing up, and even their lives. My dad's. My mom's. My sister's. And even Jin Zixuan's. Because of you, Jin Ling grew up without parents. Wei Wuxian, who broke the oath first and betrayed the Jiang Clan? You said I would be the Clan leader in the future, and you would be my right-hand man. You'd assist me for your lifetime. So what if there are the Twin Jades of Gusu? We were the Twin Prides of Yunmeng. And you'd never betray the Jiang Clan. Who said that? Tell me who said that? You swallowed all your words, and what did you do instead? You went to protect some outsiders, and from the Wen clan! How much did you owe them that you defected with no hesitation? What did you take the Jiang Clan for? You've done every good thing, and it was forced every time you did something bad, right? What hardship on earth were you burdened with that you could never tell? You didn't tell me anything. Treated me as a little fool.

JL: Uncle.

JC: Wei Wuxian. How much do you owe the Jiang Clan? Shouldn't I hate you? Can't I hate you?! Why? Why do I seem supposed to feel sorry for you now? Why should I keep feeling all these years that I am like a clown? What am I then? I deserve to stay in the shadow of your glory? Shouldn't I hate you?

JL: Hanguang-Jun. My uncle is wounded.

JC: Let him come! Am I afraid of the Second Lan?

JC: Why? Why? Wei Wuxian, why didn't you tell me?

WWX: Because I didn't want to see you being like this.

JC: You said I would be the Clan leader in the future, and you would be my right-hand man. You'd assist me for your lifetime. You'd never betray the Jiang Clan. You said it yourself.

WWX: I'm sorry. I broke my promise.

JC: We've reached this point. I don't need your "sorry" now. I'm not that delicate.

JC: Sorry.

WWX: Don't apologise to me. My "sorry" is what I pay back to the Jiang Clan. As for this matter, please don't keep it in your heart. Forget it. Though I know according to your character you'll always remember it. But I have to say, I really think that all is past. All those things are like from my previous life now. Let them go, please. We both should stop lingering on them.

NHS & LXC: Da-ge!

LXC: You... What exactly are you planning to do?!

WWX: Zewu-Jun, you're wrongly blaming Clan Leader Jin. In my opinion, what's in there was not buried by him at all. Even if he buried something here, it must have been replaced by someone. Am I right, Clan Leader Jin?

SS: Wei Wuxian. Did you set him up?

WWX: I'm saying this with all my modesty, but if I were the one who set him up, I'm afraid he wouldn't have lost just one arm.

...

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, have you ever thought that you may be the predator tonight, but there's a hunter behind you? The one who was always spying on you is maybe watching your every move from somewhere, right now.

SS: Clan Leader, we've got everything settled.

JGY: Go treat your wound.

WWX: This Su She is always mean to others, but he's always deferential to Jin Guangyao.

LWJ (to SS): Turn back.

WWX: It was you!

JC: Hundred Holes!

WWX: It's unecpectedly easy to get what was supposedly hard to find.

NHS: Er-ge, what's going on here?

LXC: So this was part of your plan for the ambush on Qiongqi Road? You let us invite Young Master Wei just because you knew Jin Zixun would go to attack him for the Hundred Holes Curse? Right?

JGY: Zixun, do you have any personal grudge against Young Master Wei?

JGY: Er-ge, why do you ask like that?

JC: Obviously! If the evil spell hadn't been cast on Jin Zixun, none of the mess afterwards would have happened! One ambush helped you get rid of Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun, two of your peers. It paved the way for your succession of the Jin Clan and becoming His Excellency. Su She cast the spell, it's pretty easy to know who was behind him.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 21:22-24:00: Inferior

WWX: I didn't do anything against you back then. We were not even that familiar. You wanted to kill Jin Zixuan. Why did you push that on me?!

JGY: Young Master Wei, you should know it best. Do you think you can be safe just because you hold no grudges?How could that be? In this world, everyone began with no grudges. But someone would eventually come forward with the first stab.

JC: Sinister lowlife!

SS: Lowlife? What right do you have to call him lowlife? All of you praise yourself as decent clans and noble gentry. You're just counting on your lucky birth and powerful family. How could you look down upon us? Aren't we, peripheral disciples, also human? If I could have protected myself, would I have been threatened by others? Would I have been swept out of Lan Clan like a pile of leaves?

LWJ: Yes. Betrayers won't be tolerated by Lan Clan.

SS: Hanguang-jun. I am so sick of your condescending attitude. Just for that little mistake, you could never forgive me! As if I'm inferior to others since my birth. Except Clan Leader Jin, who else of you ever showed me respect? Tell you what, the supercilious guys like Jin Zixun, i'd show no mercy to any of them. I'd kill every last one of them!

SS: What are you laughing at?

WWX: Nothing. I just didn't expect...

SS: What do you want to say?

WWX: I just didn't expect you got so many killed just for... Just for this?

The Untamed, ep48, scene 24:00-28:55: Responsible

JGY: Young Master Wei, are you feeling you're so unfortunate? Actually, not at all.

WWX: Not unfortunate?

JGY: Yes. Young Master Wei, just think about it. Even if we hadn't cast the spell on Jin Zixun, I'm afraid Young Master Wei would have been attacked for something else sooner or later. Because you're such kind of person. Nicely speaking, you're chivalrous and untamed. But to be honest, you're making enemies everywhere. Unless those who you offended survive their lives with no big trouble, they're gonna suspect you first whenever something bad happens. And you're gonna be their first target for revenge! You can never control that! Even if you hadn't lost your control that night at Nevernight, how could you assure you wouldn't |ose control all of your life? So, your kind of people are doomed to short life. See? Don't you feel much better thinking that way?

JC: You are short-lived! You son of a whore! Regardless of any morality for your promotion!

JGY: Clan Leader Jiang, collect yourself. I understand how you're feeling. You're so aggressive now just because having known the truth. You reflect on what you did all these years and your proud ego feels a bit guilty. So you're anxious to find a culprit for what happened to Young Master Wei. A culprit who can take all the blame. Clan Leader Jiang, if you'd feel much better when you can dump all the blame on me, please suit yourself. But you have to understand that you're also responsible for what happened to Young Master Wei. Heavily responsible. Why were so many people trying to kill Yiling Patriarch? Why did even those irrelevant shout and yell about killing him? Why did he get isolated on one side, while the other side all wanted to beat him up? Really because of conformity? Of course not! Part of the reason lies in you.

JC: Shut up!

JGY: After the Sunshot Campaign, Jin clan of Lanling, Nie clan of Qinghe and Lan clan of Gusu were in competition for power. And all the great powers were divided. As for you, you had just rebuilt Lotus Pier, with an inconceivably dangerous Wei Wuxian by your side. Do you presume that the other clans were glad to see such advantaged young clan leader? Therefore, if you could have ever been nice to your senior brother, to show you two had a solid relationship, or if you could have been even a little bit more lenient to prevent others from sowing discord, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

JC: Jin Guangyao, how vicious you are.

JGY: Am I? Clan Leader Jiang, dont you forget you were part of the main force when we were besieging Burial Mounds.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 28:55-30:34: Manipulation

WWX: Just a "son of a whore" made you talk so much. It seems the "son of a whore" is Clan Leader Jin's forbidden expression. No wonder you killed Chifeng-zun.

JGY: Assemble and we leave.

SS: Understood.

WWX: Clan Leader Jin! How did you kill Chifeng-zun? Why don't you satisfy our curiosity? Xue Yang and you spent quite some effort turning Chifeng-zun into manipulable puppet.

WWX: Aren't you afraid?

JGY: Afraid of what?

WWX: Afraid of him coming back for you.

Bonus:

Ah, Jin Guangyao, Jin Guangyao. He's Wei Wuxian. He's the Yiling Laozu, ffs! And it did not occur to you to gag him?

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, hand it over. It's of not much use in your hands.

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, may lask you a question? What did you use to forge this Yin Tiger Amulet? Only by using that half from Xue Yang, it shouldn't have been possible.

JGY: I just picked it up somewhere.

WWX: That's so lucky of you, Clan Leader Jin. One casual stroll, could get you Yin Iron desired by all cultivation clans.

JGY: Since you have got it, why ask me?

LXC: So from the very beginning, from that time, you've been coveting the Yin Tiger Amulet?

WWX: I'm afraid even earlier. The first time you co-operated with Xue Yang should have been at Unclean Realm.

MY: Young Master Wei, why are you here?

WWX: I wanted to fetch a pot of liquor. But I got the way wrong. Young Master Meng, why don't you go to the feast?

MY: I have to keep an eye on Xue Yang.

WWX: The Unclean Realm is like a steel bucket. I suppose Xue Yang could never get away. Thanks for your efforts then.

JGY: Kind of.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 37:26-40:12: The Yin Iron

JC: You admit it quite readily now.

JGY: Under these circumstances, what's the difference if l deny this one?

LXC: You co-operated with Xue Yang just for forging the Yin Tiger Amulet?

JGY: Xue Yang hid one shard of Yin lron. He wanted to save Xiao Xingchen. So he joined hands with me, and tried to forge the Amulet. But even by the two of us, we could only forge the Amulet of half power.

JGY: Young Master Wei, I have one thing that's been troubling me for a long time, that I've always wanted to ask you.

WWX: What is it?

JGY: At that time, I also assumed you were the one who took the Yin Iron from Xue Yang and made it into the Amulet. But in fact, that was not true.

WWX: You're trying to ask me how I got the Yin lron, right?

JGY: Exactly.

WWX: I knew about it from Xue Yang. Everyone believes that there's only four shards of Yin lron. Not true.

JGY: I see now. All the energy of the four directions belongs to Xuanwu. This is what that means.

LXC: You've done so many evil things, striven so hard just for the Yin Tiger Amulet.

JGY: That's part of the reason. Why don't you ask me to explain?

The Untamed, ep48, scene 40:12-42:28: Another chance

LXC: Before this, I wasn't totally unaware of what you've done, but I always believed that you did everything out of an unspeakable reason. But now, you've done it too excessively. I don't know if I should believe you anymore.

JGY: Er-ge, I was wrong.

WWX: Hey... Clan Leader Jin, can't we stop talking? Just fight? Can we just start killing each other?

JGY: Er-ge, we've been acquainted for many years. In spite of what l've done, you should understand how I was treating you. Now I renounce the position of the leader of all cultivation clans. And the Amulet was given in. I'll set off to Dongying after this night without ever coming back. For the sake of all above, please give me another chance.

The Untamed, ep49, scene 3:13-6:07: Options

JGY: Second Brother, for the sake of all I've said, please give me another chance.

LXC: Clan Leader Jin, I have made it clear to you, when you so obstinately planned the Burial Mounds Siege, that you should never call me "Second Brother" again.

JGY: What happened at Burial Mounds was a moment of weakness, a huge mistake. But there was no turning back for me.

LXC: What do you mean by "no turning back"? You...

LWJ: Xiongzhang, don't talk too much with him.

WWX: That's right, Zewu-Jun. Have you forgotten what you just said to Sect Leader Jiang? Don't waste energy talking with him.

JGY: Second Brother, everything I said was true. I received a letter.

LXC: What letter?

JGY: A blackmail letter. The letter said all the things I've done would be made public in seven days. I could either commit suicide to atone for my crimes or wait for my execution.

JC: So that's the reason why you gathered all clans and ambushed us on top of the Burial Mounds. Even if your foul deeds would be revealed to the whole world seven days later, everyone would be too drained out after the siege to hold you accountable.

LXC: Even so, you should not have been so cold-hearted as to kill everyone! You doing this...

JGY: What else could I do? Should I have waited until everything was exposed, when it had beed widely spread, until I would have become the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world, then gotten on my knees and apologised to everyone? Should I have put my face beneath their shoes, asked them to step on me and then begged for forgiveness? Second Brother, there was no third option for me. It was either their death, or mine.

LXC: Isn't all this because of your own doing? If you didn't do so many foul things, then how could you have weaknesses falling into their hands?

JGY: I don't deny what I have done.

LXC: You can't deny it! You...

JGY: If not because I had no choice, why would I do that?

I also wish they'd talk a bit less 😅.

The Untamed, ep49, scene 6:07-10:06: Marital choices

LXC: Fine. Let me ask you a few questions. Tell me the truth, one by one.

LWJ: Xiongzhang!

LXC: Wangji, I know what I am doing. He won't be able to try anything. First of all, your younger sister, Qin Su. Why did you marry her while knowing you two were blood siblings?

JGY: But I really had no choice. Second Brother, I couldn't refuse to marry her.

LXC: How come you had no choice?! It was your marriage! Not marrying her would have been much better than destroying a girl who loved and respected you with all her heart, wouldn't it?

JGY: Second Brother, didn't I love her with all my heart as well? Yes, that was indeed my marriage. But could I really have just decided to not marry her? Your naivety has shocked me. I had spent so much effort, gone through such lengths to ask Qin Cangye for his permission to marry his daughter. As the wedding day approached, I finally satisfied both Qin Cangye and Jin Quangshan. If all of a sudden I had called off the wedding, what excuse would I have had? What should I have told the two of them? Second Brother, do you know how I felt when Madam Qin came to me to secretly reveal the truth just as I thought everything was perfect? It woudn't have scared me more if a streak of lightning had sliced through my skull!

JGY: Do you know why she didn't go to Jin Guangshan and begged me in secret instead? It was because she was raped by Jin Guangshan! That good father of mine, he even could to that to the wife of his subordinate, who had followed him for years. He didn't even remember that he had a daughter by blood!

LXC: It is probably true... that you had no choice. Even if you had to marry her, you could have given her the cold shoulder. But why did you make her preg...(nant!).

I'm just gonna cut this here even if the scene continues (and continues...).
