So Fangs of Fortune is here and the reviews and commentary on the premiere episodes are per usual quite on point depending on whether director Guo Jing Ming‘s visual style is your jam or not. The criticism is that it’s very posed, the video filter and makeup is excessive and distracting, flowing hair but empty eyes, gorgeous side profiles but posed movements, in shot it’s got all the looks but little story substance. Both male leads Hou Min Hao and Tian Jia Rui are getting mostly mid reviews but surprisingly female lead Chen Du Ling is getting some of the best feedback on her performance in her career. It appears she’s playing an interesting character and pulling out a more captivating performance than her usual flower vase. This is of course just initial reviews so let’s see how it goes as the story progresses, I’m still planning to check it out when I’m done with work travel.
