ok, i was expecting more from this. as my first Hou Minghao along with the Cheng Xiao, Cheng Duling and Tian Jiarui I have watched before, I was expecting a mind-blowing drama yk? Plus I've always wondered what made people like Neo so much to have him be the second most flowered actor on MDL when I hadn't seen any of his work before. However, gotta admit, Zhao Yuanzhou was my fav character. That lil smirk and his humour was really nice to see as well as his character development and personality. In the beginning, I was a little put off by casting Cheng Duling as the female lead as the memory of Ye Bingchang from TTEOTM is still lingering like a bad taste in my mouth, but decided to give it a shot anyways. That shot was a shock to me. I thought it would be a romance. There is no romance between the ML and FL at all. Like help. There was zero chemistry. Although they sometimes acknowledged the fact that the two were a couple, if I had not watched it I literally would not believe you if you told me. Like help. Zhao Yuanzhou had more chemistry with Zhuo Yichen than Wen Xiao. It was a literal bromance. AAaaaaand in the middle of watching I was sorely tempted to drop it because of lack of interest to keep going, thus proved this show was not my thing. At all. It caused me a lot of pain to keep going till the end. Too long, haiyah. Overall, it was an eight for me. Possibly in between 8 and 8.5 if I could. But Fangs of Fortune was not my cup of tea. (p.s. looking forward to see if there are any better works of Neo out there:)) (p.p.s but this drama was lowk hilarious at parts. and the ost was such a funky happy tune. a strange mix of emotions this gave me lmao)
