Ahhh there are so many mysteries from the first episode! Let’s see what happens next in the Untamed Episode 2 recap!
The Untamed Episode 2 Recap Highlights:
- The show introduces additional characters to the audience
- Wei Wu Xian reminisces about the past
- More unraveled mysteries
Jian Cheng’s Hatred Towards Wei Wu Xian
The show has just started but Jian Cheng’s hatred towards Wei Wu Xian is obvious.
Except we don’t know why yet.
And instead of defending himself, Wei Wuxian just takes it. Does he owe Jian Cheng a debt or something?
Jian Cheng also shows disgust towards anything related to Wei Wuxian as well.
We see this when he tells Jin Ling to kill Mo Yuanyu (Wei Wu Xian’s new body) and feed him to the dogs.
After seeing him show skills related to the Yiling Patriarch (aka Wei Wuxian).
Intense hatred usually stems from betrayal of a close bond so were Jian Cheng and Wei Wu Xian close before?
Then we see a new character in the show: Jin Ling. He’s offended quite easily after hearing Mo Yuanyu’s comment about him not having a mom.
He probably got bullied about that growing up as a kid. Poor guy.
Wei Wuxian slapping himself surprised me. After hearing that Jin Ling is the son of his Shi Jie (senior sister of the same clan).
What does her death have to do with him? More mysteries.
Lan Wang Ji’s Protection
In contrast, Lan Wangji continues to protect Wei Wuxian or at the least the body he currently occupies.
Which puts him at odds with Jian Cheng.
Meanwhile, all this is happening as Wei Wu Xian tries to avoid his past acquaintances.
Is because of guilt? Or is there another reason?
Wen Clan & Wen Ning
And of course, more characters show up before anything else is clarified.
Who is Wen Ning? Besides his nickname of the ghost general.
Again Wei Wuxian is affected by the appearance of his character too.
Apparently, Wen Ning is closely tied to the Yiling Patriarch and is known to be a villain.
So everyone tries to kill him before he escapes with no luck.

Comments
Wei Wuxian is back from the dead and so far it’s not enjoyable to him at all. He shows guilt towards several characters and we don’t know why yet.
While everyone else seems to hate him.
When Mo Yuanyu summoned him from the dead, was it really just for revenge or part of a bigger plot?
Because it just so happens that when he’s back, there’s the presence of the tiger seal? And then the appearance of Wen Ning?
That’s too many coincidences.
I wonder if someone is behind the scenes and pulling the strings.
At the same time, I wonder what Wei Wuxian thinks of his second chance. The audience doesn’t get to hear his thoughts but his expressions are very melancholy.
“I really wish I could go back to 16 years ago” – Wei Wuxian
His voice is tinged with regret as we flashback to the past. A younger version of him, Jian Cheng and his Senior Sister.
The three of them looked very close, making the audience even more curious about what happened.
It’s my first time seeing Sean Xiao in action and I love his expressions. He plays the sides of Wei Wu Xian pretty well.
From the playfulness to the seriousness and I’m interested to see more.

i wanna know something
wwx is back cuz of mo xuanyu gave him his body
but why wei wuxian still himself and his brother didnt recognize him and everyone still know him as mo xuanyu?
Hello! Thanks for the comment! It’s confusing to the viewers because we can’t hear the internal thoughts of everyone else (in the show) but no one thought mo xuanyu seemed different. Partly because the original Mo XuanYu had low self esteem, didn’t speak much and kept his head down all the time. So no one got to know him or what he looked like.
So when Wei Wuxian took over, no one noticed in the show. But to the viewers, it seemed like nothing changed.
are you ever posting about episode 3? 🙁
I’ll try soon! I’ve been a little preoccupied with another series, “Royal Nirvana.” The Untamed is good though so when I need a rest from the palace schemes in Royal Nirvana, I’ll come back to The Untamed. 😆 Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for your thoughtful recaps! I would love to read more for the next episodes. 🙂
