[ENG SUB] Fangs of Fortune official douyin, 14 Nov 2024 – they're making up, they're making up, all three of them are pacifying each other now

This was the first fight in the show that I had to watch through my fingers. No idea if TJR is a method actor, but even if not, I'm not surprised that filming this brutal thrashing affected him so much. (Also aww for Yan An sitting with him while he was processing.)

This is just... art

Ahhhh so cute! Also now I can't unsee Ying Long insisting on giving Bing Yi piggyback rides and Bing Yi trying to protest with, "I can *fly*!" before letting Ying Long carry him anyway...

Sharing Hou Minghao's sword dance & tai chi performance in Divas hit the road because I think it's insane how he put together a beautiful coreography in just a few hours, practiced it until 5 in the morning when he had to wake up at 7 the next day, and then if that wasn't crazy enough, he even threw in a tai chi segment last minute — like maybe an hour before going up on stage?? — because he thought the sword dancing alone might be "too boring". Istg. Not to glorify overwork or perfectionism since the entertainment industry can be brutal to dancers or entertainers in particular, but his work ethic and his dedication to representing his country's culture well and make sure all the participants had a good time watching are for sure admirable

feel like half the time i see updates abt this guy this director's putting him through something that sounds like a torture technique 😭

[hyog-blog]

TJR is such a menace XD But Hou Minghao is so chill it's a bit scary XD Like this isn't the worst he's experienced TJR do on set? The kinkiest? No?

TJR is so cute though))) Wen Xiao is all of us losing it in the background))) Like man, stop feeding them fic writers (no, actually, don't, please)

i've nothing to say.

Hey you mentioned bts scenes where RuiRui says ZYC belongs to Li Lun. Do you have a link to that?

Sure! Have a funny vid of fof cast bullying Ruirui!

It’s especially funny when you consider that they released this BTS after the Pei Didi episode. Ruirui lowkey spoiled things just like that, and they couldn’t even include a little pic of Zhuo Yichen and Li Lun together like they did with Bai Jiu and Cheng Huang. They had to save his spoilery ass, lmfao.

Ruirui and I, when we get the chance to talk about Li Lun.

Fangs of Fortune and Li Lun

GJM is really great in terms of visuals: young and beautiful actors and actresses, their acting, decorations, frame building, coloring, costumes – I’ve never seen such a beautiful thing in whole my drama-viewing career! But GJM is like Chinese J.J. Abrams: everything in his work should impress viewer with visuals and plot twists, even if it harms the plot and the link between viewers and characters, and I can’t say that it’s something good (although FoF was VERY good looking). If I need to explain to someone what to expect from FoF in one GIF, it would be this one 😅:

"WTF is going on?" you may ask. "I don't know either" I will answer.

And these are closing credits. They were different almost each next ep, strange, but somewhat comforting. At least actors had fun filming it. Yan An is so nice here. I need to feel related to the characters and to understand the rules of the fictional world to dive fully into the story, but I gave up on my pathetic attempts to understand how this world works very quickly, because the whole story was the one huge Deus Ex Machina. I swear, I have never seen such a series in my life, in which you can meet deus ex machina not just a couple of times per story, but the couple of times per EPISODE. EACH EPISODE. The logic of main heroes’ actions also remained a mystery for me (maybe their mindset was too divine for me, I’m an earthly person after all), so I couldn’t feel related to any of the mains, and their problems were absolutely uninteresting for me.

But suddenly I felt related to Li Lun. He was the only one in this story who didn’t have a plot twist up his sleeve, and his actions were pretty understandable (unlike ones of the mains).

BTS. Yan An and Hou Minghao are having fun. There are two ways to tell the story: either you create characters and let them tell the story by themselves, or you create a story and bend your characters to fit it in. Unfortunately, FoF is the second variant: I understood what type of a story GJM wanted to tell through Li Lun’s character, but he chose two tropes (getting over an obsession and prejudice overcoming) and didn’t work out any of them in a valid way. However, I’m a professional in loving characters whose stories weren’t constructed in a satisfying way and am fond of LL anyway (I cut something like 80 GIFs, so I will post 3-part-recap with my thoughts on LL soon).

BTS. Yan An with Hou Minghao, Tian Jiarui and Lin Ziye. Btw, I ‘ve never heard of Yan An before this drama, but he acted so good in FoF, I would like to see more of his actor works.

Yan An is shivering from cold. How this man was supposed to play a villain? Look at him, he is a cinnamon roll! However, he did it well 💙

The thing with Back From the Brink came out before FoF is...we already got gold like

1. Riley Wang as Bai Xiaosheng smiling a lot. And having a lot of screentime. A lot. So much. I love it. I love him.

This is only from the final ep. He's a precious precious bean to me

2. HMH as Tian Yao losing his loved one for a change. My fave au idea is what if Wen Xiao insisted on dying and dies :D

Tianyao being the no joke kinda guy who's quite the opposite of ZYZ in terms of personality. Yan Hui is the energetic, happy-go-lucky badass demon (at the end) lady.

My genderbend au lives on 🥰🥰

And then waiting for Yan Hui (the fl) to reborn

It's a happy ending !!! :DD

My review of this drama :

the actress really carried the drama. Zhou Ye I'm waiting for your Legend of Female General tho that's really different from BFtB. I love seeing Zhou Ye and HMH natural interactions in the bts idek why this is in the review lol. They're a cute couple from the drama 🥰

Couldn't resist the white hair/ white eyelashes combo vs the other two looks.
