Starring actors Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, The Untamed is based on the popular "Boy's Love" web novel about two men who support each other and overcome difficulties, even the threat of death, to finally live happily ever after together.

The series has an 8.3/10 on Chinese media review site Douban and currently has the highest number of reviews on the platform. The series earned 6.6 billion views on streaming platform Tencent Video.

The Untamed was praised by People's Daily for its "wonderful presentation of Chinese characteristics."

Marvel Studio released the Chinese teaser trailer for the Black Widow film at 3:55 pm on Tuesday on Sina Weibo, earning huge cheers from Chinese fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

The trailer earned more than 10.4 million views within its first 24 hours.   

While the film is set to release in the US on May 1, 2020, the Chinese trailer only listed 2020 as the global release date. The vague window left many Chinese fans wondering if the film will be released alongside the US, similar to recent outings Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. 

"I wonder if I'm dreaming? The teaser trailer has been released and my heroine is coming," one Sina Weibo user commented. 

"I have been waiting for such a long time and now the coolest and cutest heroine has finally arrived! Welcome back, Natasha," wrote another.
