broke: fangs of fortune is a trash of a cdrama with poor story writing, little focus on CP, the only thing redeeming is the aesthetics
woke: fangs of fortune is a story about myth and legend, how its editing, colour grading, costuming and aesthetic choices provide a sense that the characters are constantly living in a dream as it proposes that many myths are—dreamlike and where things are just are because people believe in them, things get incoherent, and with said characters developing relationships with each other that intrigue the heavens, all while challenging the traditional tropes of love and fate
bespoke: fangs of fortune is a once in a lifetime moving picture art form that compels the audience to suspend their belief of reality to follow the story, making them feel as though they are submerged in a long dream with the characters. it is only when the story ends, that we wake back up to reality. did everything really happen?
#fangs of fortune#cdrama#I have never seen another series especially in cdrama land#where audiences so readily throw away and suspend the belief of reality#just to follow through til the end#if this were in any other genre I think the majority of us would have dnfed#the shenmo genre really helps#FoF feels like a fever dream#I think many people have mentioned#I agree and kept thinking about it#and wow the reasoning is so meta#more meta than I can ever write
