Guyss, just wanna say, it's really not looking good so far. Literally everyone on Chinese media was saying that the entire group died and that Zhao Yuanzhou died in Wen Xiao's arms ππ, I swear, every time I find a nice drama with an intriguing storyline that I actually like, it turns out to be a bad endingππ, hopefully it doesn't turn out to be true thoo, maybe it will all be somehow explained and everyone lives happily ever after, THE ENDD, or even better, they release a season 2 π
The story is inspired by the Classics of Mountains and Seas, which is a historical book written in the Han Dynasty…
Yeah, I always find it more meaningful when there's real historical aspects a part of the drama, in this context, the demons taken from the book. I am also a hugee fan of Chinese mythology!
Yess, guilty as charged, I joined MDL just because I wanted to converse with everyone about Fangs of Fortune π€π , I mean, how could I not?! ππ
Okay, this could be wrong, but here it goes: Neo's character is Zhu Yan, who goes by the alias Zhao Yuanzhou,…
Honestly, with the trailer and everything, that's what I'm getting, he's either gonna die or like they're all gonna die. I feel like this is going to be an ending similar to Till the End of the Moon
Iβm fairly new to Cdramas, can anyone please explain what is meant by Heat Index Level on iQiyi? I saw earlier…
It's only the first day, and it would get higher from now, Fangs of Fortune has been very popular and highly anticipated on Chinese media, so I expect it to break 10 000, or at least get pretty close to breaking it
The monsters and demons are taken from a book called The Classics of Mountains and Seas; a book written in the Han Dynasty about the various mythological creatures they believed in. The story however, is original
Chen Duling's characters are usually the more "weak" and "I can't survive, so lemme go find a man to save me" type of characters, and I must say, I am honestly soo happy that this one was different. Wen Xiao seems like a a pretty strong individual and doesn't always rely on others, she's also not one of those that's always looking for love and acting as if a gust of wind can blow her away. I am honestly soo glad that Wen Xiao was different, she obviously has her own weaknesses and problems, but she's also not the lovesick, weak maiden in need of a prince to save her. She can protect herself and has a kind heart, which I really like
I read below that this drama has a sad ending according to chinese netizens who have already seen the ending,…
I was hoping that it could be an open ending and they add a season 2 π€π , but watching the trailer and everything, I think that the ending would be one similar to Till the End of the Moon
Loved this dark gloomy theme of Edward Directory from MJTY but it is always confusing to follow and makes me curious,…
Okay, this could be wrong, but here it goes: Neo's character is Zhu Yan, who goes by the alias Zhao Yuanzhou, if you look at the characters section, you'd see that he also plays Long Ying Long, which idk what happens. Zhao Yuanzhou is a very powerful demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and possesses extraordinary power. His body acts as a "vessel" for malicious energy, and sometimes, he loses control over himself, letting the malicious energy take over and do some not very nice stuff, so idk, I don't think that his role died, as we can see in the trailer, he was talking about how he gets taken over, and sort of "wakes up" afterwards and regrets everything. The one who is good and wears white clothes and is close to them (if we're talking about the same person who is acted by Neo), is Zhao Yuanzhou, I think, he didn't exactly die, but he lost control over himself and he was asking Zhuo Yi Chen if he remembered his promise, which, if you watched episode 2 (I think it was episode 2), you'd know that the promise was, in exchange for Zhao Yuanzhou teaching Zhuo Yichen how to properly use his sword, Zhuo Yichen would kill Zhao Yuanzhou, releasing all the malicious energy, making sure that Zhao Yuanzhou can no longer lose control and kill people. In the trailer, Zhao Yuanzhou also said :"If I lose control again, you must kill me." If this theory is correct, then they were crying for him because they had already become close, like family, and they didn't want Zhao Yuanzhou to die, especially killed by his own friends. This could be wrong tho, hope it helps ππ
I still can't comment much about the drama itself as I've seen only one episode so far, but this I can say, Minghao…
Omgg, yesss, we need vampire HMH, I feel like that would suit him soo muchh!! His roles are usually more laid back and not as mysterious and dark, but I feel like that would suit him sooo muchh!!!!
Omggg, I haven't even thought about it, but YESS, the mysterious and horror-story-like plot would be perfect for Halloween, but idk if I'd be able to wait that longπ π€
I love listening to HMH's voice for Zhao Yuan Zhou and it's an another never seen before role of his, and imo…
ikr, HMH usually plays roles that are more relaxed and laid back, like Wangye and Baili Dongjun, this is the first time that I feel that he's played this sort of character. Though Zhao Yuanzhou is also pretty relaxed and "I don't give a damn", he also gives off a very mysterious and powerful aura, and idk really how to explain it but I agree that this role was definitely very different from all his other ones. I'm honestly soo happy that he's finally getting all the recognition he deserves, and I can't wait for all his other historical Chinese fiction dramas!!
I know right, he just has such a regal aura, and an "I don't care/give a damn" attitude but at the same time,…
I actually didn't know that, I just thought that it was because he liked making trouble, and also, Neo Hou's Chinese name "δΎ―ζζ", the first character "δΎ―" is a homophone to the character "η΄", which means monkey, and he's often referred to as "ε°η΄"/"ε°δΎ―", meaning little monkey, I thought that was like an interesting easter egg the script writers decided to add but your explanation makes a lot of sense as well, thank youu!
The story is inspired by the Classics of Mountains and Seas, which is a historical book written in the Han Dynasty…
Omgg I'm soo happy to find someone like minded, I always find it soo interesting when they incorporate historical stuff into the dramas, especially Chinese mythology. The show is off to a great start, I'm soo happy it wasn't a disappointmentt!!
It's sooo good, but I recommend that you wait a couple more days cus all the episodes end off on a cliffhanger…
True, Chinese dramas do tend to have more episode than kdramas, it is a good idea to watch as they come out, especially when you're not too sure about it and end up hyping yourself up and waiting for so long just to find out that you don't like it. This way, at least you can drop it whenever you decide that you don't like it
