Did anyone else notice that IQIYI has this at 40 episodes? Kind of confused since everyone says itβs just 34.
According to Tencent it is only up to 34 eps. Original source network for this is Tencent, iQiyi and other apps are secondary. The additional episode might be behind the scenes or extra clips.
Want to start this drama but still not sure. are they together now by Episode 23? how's the chemistry, kiss scenes…
If you like dramas that focuses more on romance then you will like this. The destined/fated lovers trope is well executed here and leads have a wonderful chemistry. There are kisses in this and many more other intimate scenes to come.
I absolutely love how Dou Zhao's character is written. She's such a clever female character. I loved how she handled the whole situation using her wits and intelligence alone, it was such an amazing scene and I admire the little insertion of sweetness with the hand canon. These scenes in episode 23 truly outshined for me a solid 10/10.
What standouts for me the most about this drama is the destined/fated lovers trope being done so satisfyingly well. The development of feelings between DZ and SM were consistently gradual, each encounter and events aiding to the deepening of their love. It is not too slow or rushed, rather the director & writer allowed the main leads romantic love to develop in a natural pace. Their romantic moments despite some being of common used tropes, what makes it exemplary is the addition of small intricate touches of details making such scenes memorable and convincingly heart fluttering rather than flat and cliche. The execution is definitely similar to a fairytale. The cinematic visuality of the shots per scene adds a magnifying intensity making it overall: beautiful. Chemistry is sizzling cherry on top.
I hope they wrap up the Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu issue by this upcoming episode. Their storyline don't interest me that much. I need the focus back on our main leads just like it did at earlier episodes.
BTW if anybody is interested in the FoF script book, it's available for preorder on CPop Universe.https://cpop-universe.com/products/fangs-of-fortune-2024-merch-novel-set-drama-postcards-posters-wudoll-officialThey…
but it was almost confirmed that he should be poisoned again - the scenes where he will have hallucinations and…
In cdrama having grey/silver hair doesn't always indicate poisioning. It's more of an indication towards a characters depleting/weak health condition (close to death) or the lost of someone they really love. Small part of Song Mo hair turned grey again after being badly beaten up by his father, he barely could've walked shows he was in critical state hence the reappearance of grey hair.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this way given they were in an era advance medicine is nonexistent. The degree of burn in Song Mo's hand seems to be more than just 1 degree (that usually heals quickly). He directly touched the fire with bare hands. So, healing process will definitely be slow. Besides, if it was really due to poision, his stomach would be the one affected first not the hand. But, kudos to director for being realistic and consistent about this burn injury of Song Mo. Other dramas usually forget the injury exist next moment π
