Happy new year all, this year; I'm motivated and now most willing in helping and assisting others. You are free to ask all spoiler and most unanswered questions in every comment sections you found me. Read my profile bio and know my preferences, this will save us time to avoid unnecessary arguments on a different points of views.
There's a lot of shipping mess going on. To end all these shipping debates, how about we go neutral by pairing CDL with JJY and Joseph with TJR? Then Case closed.
Honestly, TJR and CDL was the biggest missed opportunity for a couple. In my wildest dreams, they had the most earth-shaking chemistry anyone could imagine. But nevertheless, with Joseph, the opportunity won't be entirely missed. I'm ready to welcome the chemistry between TJR and JJY into my new dreams of wild-city.
Like one bot user said; she's not tired of posting Junks and talking to herself alone. Likewise i will never get tired of posting facts and helping others. Oh yeah ✌️🫰
Trust me, the directors will never change. Same plot with a few tweaks here and there but we fans continue to…
Yes if you want a real logic and sanity, one can only watch American, japanes or Korean. Though korean directors was like this in the past but they have now evolved with something logical.
And ZYZ also killed alot of people himself too. But i don't know we still finds him innocent for some reason.…
No matter what they did, they will try a way to justify them by parading them holy throughout the script. I gave up on many drama because of this shitty reasons.
Beware of the Self-Righteous Turncoat - A Disappointing Character Arc
This ridiculous type of characters are many in Cdrama and most directors and writers are vested in it and is getting annoying the more you watch them.
The so-called "hero" who parades around with a halo of righteousness only to reveal themselves as a colossal hypocrite by the end. This character starts off with all the right morals, preaching about justice, loyalty, and love, but oh, how quickly they fall from grace!
They're the kind who would betray their closest allies or even kill their loved ones, all in the name of some twisted, self-serving version of righteousness. It's not just disappointing; it's outright maddening.
The emotional impact of their actions is severely undermined by the lack of genuine remorse or reflection. This character doesn't grow; they just switch sides like it's a game of chess, leaving viewers with a bitter taste of manipulation rather than a nuanced exploration of morality.
The impact of this ridiculous character arc in "Fang of Fortune"
1)Neo Hou (ZYZ) The ironical behavior and the audacity of the ML to betray his closest friend "Li Lun" for his so called righteous-cause was very disgusting 🤢.
Throughout the serie, he's been parading as the most righteous person in the universe by going to the length of betraying his bossom friend in the name of justice.
Despite being a demon-lord but they want to prove to us that he's more righteous than a Devine-God, What a hypocrisy 🤡
He does this same thing in "Dashing youth". We are all tired of this Villain made by the righteous people, is time for these directors to stop coming up with this type of useless logics.
2) Cheng Xiao (Pei Si Jing) As for PSJ, I was in awe with her character at first, given the fact that she was brave and strong with no dull moments. But I gave up on her when she moraly killed her own brother in the name of justice.
Nothing could make me forgive that type of self righteous character no matter how good they are. Even if her brother was truly a bloodthirsty demon as she justified herself, she still has no right, no justification to kill his brother.
A lot of this type of character "arc" are many in Cdrama that no one seems to have found wrong or talked about, but I dislike this type character even beyond the script.
For all new viewers, I suggest you go through the topic section and get major reviews about this serie. Don't look in the comment section because it have been hijack and vandalise constantly by left-fans here. You will only see junk promotional comments here by them and nothing else. The many spoiler comments have been drowned by their junk remarks.
I just want to remind people there are still many things I love about this Drama which I made clear from my early review. My only "crime" was that I'm unable to appreciate a particular cast and the storyline.
There are wonderful Cast who did great despite how crapy the storyline was written including a particular cast who came to spoil everything.
Lest take a look about how wonderful this cast performed.
1) Tian Jia Rui (ZYC): No one can deny the fact that ZYC was such a saving grace for FoF, just given the fact that he's a new actor, very new to the field, not many upcoming actors was able to set such records in their first and second roles.
TJR nailed his role as if he having been acting before he was born, my first impression of him was in "My Journey to you" as GYZ and then he then set a new records in FoF. Honestly anyone can vow that if without him, no one could watch FoF past 5 episodes.
I can't still forget his impressive action when Bai jiu was death, that is, The disbelief in him, his frustration, his anger, All was well-defined at the same time by one person. Such an emotional seen left me crying along with him. Not many actors both seasonal and old can achieve that.
He was also among the cast that compelled me to finish the serie, his impressive acting offset most of the boring moments triggered by some ridiculous cast.
2) Cheng duling (Wen Xiao): Bass on my past reviews, some accuse me of beefing CDL but that's the opposite reality, CDL was actually in my list of top 5 actress in China. I'm a very straightforward person and I won't cover up for my favorite when there is flaw in their role. CDL was such a great actress with unparalleled beauty.
You maybe surprised to know that my first impression of her was in "myth of sword" where she portrays two personality at the same time, second was in "TTEOTM" where she goes for what she wants and doesn't give a fck about what you think. Many dislike her but it seems I'm the only one who love her role in TTEOTM. Her villainous acting was very impressive that I can't have enough of that.
In FoF, I still love her even though I wasn't use to such type of role about her. The fact that they made her a crying queen with less ability to change situations was what I dislike, but that doesn't offset my good impression of her, rather I still find her cute.
3) Bai jiu and Ying Lei: This two character was what the director could have used for Humor, they are very fit for that and it suits their age very well. Baiju in particular was such a very talented young actor who can portray two personality at the same time, he was also very suit for humor, he's the only one who brought smiles and laughter to many during his comedic scenes. What he can achieve when he became adult has no limit.
4) Ya an(Li lun): Li lun was actually the reason why we still feel like there are two spaces in this drama which is "Human and demon" he lets us feel how demon character should be portrayed with all demonic traits. And not like some people who claimed they are demon lord but behaves like a catholic priest Lmao.
Li lun was very great in his acting and nailed his role as a demon 👹 the only thing I find uncomfortable was the slow motion in his voice including other cast. You may not find out about this flaw if you don't understand mandarin though. But nevertheless that didn't offset his impressive portraying of demonic role. Looking forward to see what he got for us in "VoS"
5)And as for Pei si jing; I still can't get over the fact that she killed her own brother for her so called righteous cause, I just hate this type self-righteous character who are ready to sacrifice their love ones to save the world.
And yet she was only feeling sorry and guilty only when she found out her brother was innocent of her accusation. That's utterly nonsense, but nevertheless I still got my a place for her in "The World of Fantasy" and "Fallen into your smile"
I'm not going to keep illustrating but the rest of the cast did absolutely great for me which was why I gave the "cast" rating 8.5
It was 8.5 instead of 10 because of the ml who does a lot of damage to the serie with his unrealistic acting. Many Will argue that I got some collective hate against ml but that's the opposite. I love him in "Back from the brink" though, I just can't like how he suddenly chose to act this way in FoF. That was annoying beyond annoyance.
If you delve well into my different points across this platform, you will realize that I gave my reviews with no bias and and i don't care if you agrees or not, I'm not one among those who turn blind eye to reality and appease the populace.
If you don't like my way of critiques then is better for you to keep a distance because I don't beg you to engage, which will then lead to insult. I will block such type of people immediately they choose violence.
My review aren't meant for you but for people who actually needs it. There are hundreds of thousands of viewers in this platform and your bias opinions do not matter.
English is not by force, quick to curse without knowing the difference between "dropped" and "ongoing"

Innocent me.
