About repetitions in Fangs of Fortune

Kseniya Green

I have seen several comments where people have talked about repetition in FoF as a flaw in the drama. Besides the fact that these people have missed the point of the drama - which is precisely in the theme of circles and exits from them - they have missed this special melody of the drama, which I find charming.

I like how the repetition of events, images, words creates a sense of refrain, like a chorus in a song or a poem. Because FoF is more of a visual poem than a classic narrative story.

But these repetitions also fit the theme of dreams very well. Because this is how a cherished dream lives in our soul - like a repeating chorus of our mental life, playing over and over again in a circle.

Especially if this dream seems impossible.

This drama is dedicated to the dream of love - the kind of love that makes you feel alive and real.

And here is the trap. The world of dreams is infinite in its circle and free in its loneliness. When you try to live through your dream and enter the real world - you enter a world of finiteness and limitations.

A world that can kill your dream. But only in the real world can you find someone who will share your dream.

And a dream shared with someone is already a reality, even if it is an impossible dream. But a dream shared with another that has become a reality inevitably changes. And by changing, it dies, because it ceases to be the dream that it was before.

This is the fate of a dream - it must die as a dream in order to be born as something real.

Everytime I read sth u write my lifeforce gets revitalised. Fof is unique in the way that it doesn't have ur usual linear characters or storytelling, it's a complete sensory experience. The dreamlike quality exists in each of its elements, one of it being a repeating loop, until u wonder if its really exactly repeating nd how much of it was experienced in which ways. Once u find someone who shares the dream, u kill the dream to live it in waking.

Yes! Very nonlinear - and various themes intertwine, reflect each other, but they all converge at the final point.
For example, how the theme of the image intertwines with the theme of the dream. The drama is a lot about how our image lives in the perception of society and how often it does not correspond to reality. And how we all passionately strive to be seen in our "true form" and at the same time are afraid of this.
And about two types of love - the one that tries to hold on, to cling to the image with which we once fell in love.
And the one that is able to admire the growth and change of the image.
And how in the end we will have to kill the beloved image in order to love not the image but the real person.
