I don’t think xianxia C-drama Fangs of Fortune would have done better or worse in a different time slot. It premiered and then a week later the two-headed beast that was The Story of Pearl Girl and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy arrived to suck all the attention into their top drama actress battle. But there is and always will be enough air in the drama verse for as many dramas to succeed at the same time since it’s a streaming world so the mid-reception and gradually lowering interest in Fangs is all on the drama itself. It’s nearing the finale and the CFs have dropped to only one before the opening sequence. The biggest winner is probably female lead Chen Du Ling for actually changing perception that she can’t act and has flat charisma, but the push for second male lead Tian Jia Rui to become an It Boy didn’t happen (as far as the lack of buzz I see online). Male lead Hou Ming Hao started and ended at the same place, still needing a breakout, and Cheng Xiao as the second female lead was thankfully not as awful as she usually is and held her own. All in all, director Guo Jing Ming‘s vision here was definitely presented but didn’t appeal to the broader audience.

CDL is terrible in this drama, she can't act to save her life
I didn't care for her here.
Guo Jing Ming always put himself along with the top directors...
LOL.
All of them still can't act including Chen Du Ling.
TJR no need to worry about becoming IT Boy. As long as he's GJM golden boy, he will remain busy. No hate for him tho. His luck
And does HMH need a breakout? I thought he's already popular enough
Never thought people think cdl can’t act, she is not the best, but I consider her a better one among young actress
She's 31. She's not exactly young.
Rude.
GJM really needs to reflect on his directing, this has nothing to do with the cast, this could have been a great drama if not for his short vision and big ego, he added romance but didn't make any romance, he wanted aesthetic fighting but was barely any exciting combat art, all CGI, he wanted to show friendship but fail in that too by making it too gloomy and sad than heartwarming and happy,
NO LOVE, NO friendship, and NO Fighting,what exactly are viewers supposed to look ar, I am still watching but meh..
I thought his name was Hou Minghou, with a “g”? At first I thought maybe a typo, but now I’m starting to question myself after seeing this on multiple back to back posts…
I tried a few episodes of FoF and it just feels like another pretentious effort by Guo Jingming. The slow talking and long stares get tiring after a while, no matter how pretty the people are…
Too bad, I was looking forward to this. Still, the visuals are so gorgeous, I can just leave it playing in the background.
Koala and her self invented pinyin. Its not an error
GJM's drama needs a liuliang actor/actress to do well since its beauty without substance. Which evidently, none of the cast is.
I don't actually believe this "news" as this drama is really good and I see so many posts about it on international sns.
Whats there not to believe? Being popular intentionally doesn't change the fact that its a flop in China.
To me it's really a good drama.
1 of d best AV seen dis year.
It's a 10/10👍👍
