Fangs of fortune is a different concept of all the dramas that I have watched so far.It shows us the basic concept of triumph of good over evil in a new way, interwoven with emotions and lifetime bonds formed throughout the journey.
Plot-The story starts off with the intro of Wen Xiao and Zhu Yan,the great demon,who willingly volunteers to help the demon hunting bureau to catch evil demons alongside,Zhuo Yichen, the descendant of Bingyi clan and makes a pact with him.They are joined by Pei Sijing,an excellent archer and Bai Jiu,a talented physician kid.Later on Ying Lei,mountain god,too joins them to solve mysteries in and around Wilderness and Tiandu.
Cast-Neo Hou,as,Zhao Yuanzhou/Zhu Yan is excellent and perfectly cast.I think this is one of his best performances.
Zhu Yan,is,naughty,smart,patient, emotional,caring, loving, kind hearted responsible,great demon.Though he is widely knows as the evil demon,he has a painful side of him but has kept it only to his heart.Neo Hou carried the role of the great demon perfectly.Be it costumes, emotions,teasing, action scenes, charismatic,protective of loved ones,he is the main asset of this drama, in my opinion.His character is well written and presented.
Chen Duling as Wen Xiao,is smart,beautiful, knowledgeable,caring,kind human who feels demons and humans are the same and demons are not to be treated badly.Her acting is also good.
I particularly liked the little romantic scenes between Zhu Yan and Wen Xiao.Their chemistry was also good.
Zhuo Yichen, played by Tian Jiarui,is one friend that everyone dreams of.He is like an elder brother to Ying Lei and Bai Jiu(also a hero for him).I liked the way he always tries to protect his friends and also tries to understand people and their situations.His acting was excellent.
From a person who vows to kill Zhu Yan to a dearest friend who waits for the return Zhao Yuanzhou,I think his inner conflict, struggle,was beautifully portrayed.The best part of this drama is the friendship between Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen.I liked how Mr.Zhuo was able to understand all the pain and agony that Zhao Yuanzhou had to endure and hence could not pull himself to kill Zhu Yan.Their relationship is one of the highlights of this drama.
Ms.Pei Sijing,a cold and distant ,introverted,talented archer joins the group to become a friend for a lifetime.Together with her brother Pei Siheng, they are always there to take care of their friends.Theirvsiblung bond was very good.He was always there for his sister in times of need.Cheng Xiao as Pei Sijing and Lai Weiming as Pei Siheng were the best.Their acting was on point and brought the Pei siblings to life.
Lester Lin as Bai Jiu ,who is pampered by the whole group,is outstanding in his role.Be it a timid innocent doctor or a ruthless villain after getting occupied,he was outstanding in his performance.His story was a bit heartwrenching for me.
Xu Zhenxuan as Ying Lei,is surely a good trio with Zhuo Yichen and Bai Jiu.Ying Lei is indeed the best Mountain god.
And finally,Li Lun,played by Yan An,is phenomenal in his acting.Be it sinisterous,threatening,villainous,he is surely that antagonist who makes you fear him.But I liked the way he stood for the protection of the world at the end.
All the other star cast were good in their performances.
The costumes.sets,visual effects, screenplay,and particularly MUSIC were excellent.The music matched well with all the situations and was perfect.
On a final note,Fangs of Fortune is a highly recommended emotional drama which show cases lifetime bonds formed through Demon hunting bureau.The six members are protective of others and are willing to go to great lengths for their friends and the world too.
Also,it show cases that seeing us not believing but everything has its own reasons and causes.
Understanding a person emotionally is tough yet important.
A MUST WATCH DRAMA!!
