Hey everyone!! I'm a little late but I wanted to cover one of Tian Jiarui's OSTs for our birthday~ It may not be perfect but I wanted do this for him and Zhuo Yichen❣️ So, I uploaded and finished one some few days ago if you guys wanna maybe listen to it~ 🤗

I actually also covered his theme song with Bai Jiu and can't wait to share it once I've uploaded it too~ I'll try this week! Just want to share my love for this drama too with these covers while it's still newly aired hehe~ And honestly, I will definitely try covering some of the other songs too in the near future 🙈

I haven't started but man am I convinced to start it while it's just airing after seeing positive comments and posts about it... I'm definitely starting tomorrow! I'm so excited! 🙈

I haven't watched the ML b4 but dang am I excited to watch him here! I've watched the next 5 actually b4 and the last 2 of the 6 (Yan An, Li Baihui) as a couple / lovers in two other dramas (there even in more dramas together even...), so wow am I even more excited!!

Yes, so it's like 8 songs out of 13 of them is sung by the cast, which is crazy already xD It's like more than half. Makes me appreciate the songs even more! :) And woah only second OST, like OST from a drama, in full, you've listened to? Wow, that's even more amazing! Shows how great this OST is! I also really love the drama "The Blood of Youth" but tbh I am not really into the OSTs that much either, but I really love the fighting song "Wind" by Yu Zhaoyuan!

From this link of the Fangs of Fortune OST, the first 5 are sung by other singers while the last 8 are by the cast (each picture corresponds to who is singing, except the last one, the group song, is sung by the entire 8 main cast members)!

Btw, which one's your top favorites? I'm curious! Tbh, I can't exactly choose bc I love so many of them. My top favorites are mostly sung by the cast, and I can't even pinpoint which one is my favorite LOL but when it comes to a non-cast member then it'd be "Return After a Long Dream" for sure, it's too beautiful!! It's really cool how this song led you to listening to the rest of the OST~

So I'm curious what do you like most about / in a drama, and what kind of genres / elements do you like for them to have? What also makes you not like these dark fantasy dramas? Idk if you'll like this one based on your taste, but you can still try watching. Maybe you can try since you came to love the OST and see how it goes for you? If in the end you feel it's not for you, then that's okay to since we all have our own taste. But in my opinion, I really love the story, the relationship between the entire gang, and especially the strong bond between the two male leads!

And about the whole cast singing the OSTs and how they're all able to, I am not even sure tbh if they were chosen by their singing talents, but I gotta say their acting skills are also really great, so maybe yes and no? But I'm not entirely sure. I do find it amazing how every single one of them can sing well to even have their own OST! Tbh, I don't even remember one other drama I've watched (I've watched over 130) where all the main cast (+ main supporting cast) even have their own OST in the dramas, so it's quite rare!

I see your profile is Li Lun 😆 Let's just can count Fangs of Fortune a BL in disguised (bc with the many signs we were given, we can't deny it was intended) 🫣 Yuanzhou X Yichen X Li Lun, the true love triangle 🤭

Okay, but frrrr... We neeeeeed this drama... I already can tell it's gonna be one of my top favorites ever! Really hope they can release it eventually like 😭

It's so cool to hear this especially from someone who doesn't listen to drama OSTs in general. I'm the type to listen to the OSTs for dramas I've watched most of the time, but I also gotta say this is really one of my top favorites out there as well. And I think for me, it's even more beautiful and special because, fun fact, all of the main cast (the whole gang + Yanan) sing the OSTs, not just the group song but also their own solos / a duo, and even Lin Ziye (who plays Bai Jiu) has one which is his theme song with Tian Jiarui, except his was only played in the drama unfortunately. Anyways, because of this, I think it makes the songs even more touching and beautiful! In the end, I gotta agree with you that the OSTs are top-tier. So so beautiful~~

There will be two main couples and I'm so excited for that! :)

Your "wow" was just like me when I got into this drama as I never even thought how there'd be bromance! But when I started, I was lowkey already shipping the two male leads and they surprised me with their strong soulmate-like bond (as we never got this like TU and WoH)~

Anyways, have fun watching! You'll really come to love and adore the relationship between the two male leads (and watch out for a love triangle between them with another male character) 🤭

Ngl it even beats The Untamed and Word of Honor for me... Anyways, since you're looking for bromance, this will be a great watch for you! Enjoy!! <3

Yessss!! I was not expecting "soulmate" to even be said by one of them at all... That itself already gives it away 😆

Yess, I share the same birthday as Tian Jiarui! 🫣 Thank you 😇 And oh how nice it would be to get a taste of Ying Lei's food and sweets and celebrate my birthday with this gang~ Tysm 🥺😭

Thank you 🥺🤗

I'm trying to interpret / theorize smth. Do you think about how Ju Jingyi is looking at someone from across, either Joseph Zeng or Chen Duling? And the sadness in her eyes... It's like the person she is looking at... she loves that person deeply but is hurt?

https://x.com/ThawareeR/status/1863820125264322793?t=3zOW9ntvPapcqJfJi7n-qg&s=19

And then Tian Jiarui is looking at the side. Maybe he's sad for Ju Jingyi and then looks at the person across him (based on the first *couple* photos) and wants to defend her (based on these photos they shared us yesterday).

https://x.com/_Cdramalover/status/1864196042566283418?t=TFsSFV3OisIromH7UEqcFA&s=19

Based on the BTS alone he and Ju Jingyi appear to be looking at someone across them.

https://x.com/dramaticath/status/1863716020218655219?t=fzysJARx_RnbIGpo3KnX2Q&s=19

But maybe Tian Jiarui is also feeling hurt because of one of the people in front of him. Maybe both he and Ju Jingyi are hurt by Joseph Zeng or Chen Duling. And maybe these two are close and he cares for her and empathesizes with her so maybe that's why he appears to be comforting / defending her.

Maybe they're hurt bc of the other two. So this could either mean they love them but feel pain. Tian Jiarui's gesture shows that he cares for Ju Jingyi. Right now, maybe not in a romantic way yet, but may end up later? We'll see.

In some way, it feels like because CDL and JZ are next to each other, as well as JJY and TJR, both pairs from the opposite side, there is some conflict between them.

Lol it's fun theorizing. I never did this for dramas before, it's my first time.

But anyways, I can't wait to see more photos and videos and see what is really behind these photos and videos.

In the end, I could be overthinking lmao

Happy happy birthday to my birthday twin~ Happy birthday, Ruirui!! MJTY is where I first discovered you, and I was already impressed, and even more shocked to learn that it was your first drama! Fast forward to FoF, the very first C-drama I watched of every episode as it was airing. Amazingly, it ended up becoming one of my very top (if not) favorite dramas of all time! You made me fall in love with your portryal of Zhuo Yichen, and he has become one of my favorite characters as well to this day.

Thank you for becoming an actor, bc that talent of yours is a true gift and needs to be seen! I can’t wait to watch more of your dramas and meet your characters in all of them in the future!

Anyways, I hope you've been having a lovely day~ And I pray for more blessings to come to you all the days ahead~ 我爱你! And because it’s your birthday, I thought I would cover your two songs from Fangs of Fortune! Ofc you won’t see it, but I’ll let other fans listen to it if they want!

Edit:
My cover of Zhuo Yichen's theme song if anyone is curious❣️

Will share my cover of Yichen & Bai Jiu's theme song soon too 🥰

I am also really surprised by Tian Jiarui's acting! I watched him in MJTY first and then was looking forward to his performance here too and he impressed me even more! What a phenomenal actor who just came in the C-drama industry too!!

Anyways, dang, about the BL/GL yesssss... especially with the three guys lmaooo they are really the love triangle of the drama 😂 It's smth I never thought I needed until this 😆 Anyways, I'm so happy you enjoyed it a lot! It really exceeded my expectations too!!

Also, I'm just thinking about how the entrance of the two male leads are literally them (sword) fighting just like The Untamed (well, not exactly, but they had just met) and Word of Honor, which seems like a common trope in BL (dramas).

Anyways, I believe Yuanzhou and Yichen are the OTP (I've been reading analyses about this). Like ngl when I anticipated this drama I was not expecting the male leads to be like soulmates. So it really surprised me! I'll be rewatching today (planned to for my bday) and learn this drama more in-depth which is exciting.

Awhh thank you! 🥹🤗💙

Omg where? Can you send me a link? 😭

Wow, they went over a month for the filming? I kinda feel bad for the crew! It must've been tough for them, but I'm proud of them for powering thru it all! FoF, despite the many cuts, still ended up being such an amazing drama in the end! One of my top favorites for sure!

And yes, I remember when it was just 26 episodes, so when they added more, I was really happy! I couldn't imagine if they kept that much! So much more would've been cut out omg... Also, I'm betting this could've reached the 40 ep limit which I wished happened... 🙃

Same! Were you there for the filming process? It's actually my very first time with this drama (VoS)! Anyways, how many scenes/eps do you predict they removed? 😭

I'd love to see them as a pair too, but I'll accept any pairing :) You never know, they might surprise us with how the pairs work out! I hope they deliver and won't disappoint!

Lol fr... GJM already be playing with us on the first day haha excited to see what will come for the next shooting days and how it all comes to play in the end!
