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 … Continue reading →
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 schedule is set for Fangs of Fortune to arrive end of this month October on iQiyi.

The drama is titled 万花世界 (Wan Hua Shi Jie or Hundred Flower World) and is adapted from a manhwa … Continue reading →

So it’s good that I kinda liked Tian Jia Rui the first time I watched him as a supporting male lead in C-drama My Journey to You because he’s about to be everywhere thanks to director Guo Jing Ming. He’s going to be in Fangs of Fortune and this week Guo Jing Ming announced two new C-dramas which one is … Continue reading →
So this drama got on my radar not because of the cast but because it was filming at the time another drama I was super into was filming, and it’s from the same director Guo Jing Ming. It was initially called The Story of Mystics but now has the title Fangs of Fortune and like can we go back to … Continue reading →
