Fangs of emotions that touch our hearts!!
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!!

Excellent, phenomenal and intense drama!!
To start off with,this drama has a solid plot.The screen play is very intense,grippy and there is not even a bit of nonsense till the end.The pace is very good and the cat-mouse games between the 3 leads is really interesting.
Ren Jialun as Wei Zhao,is excellent in portraying his role.Being a smart,cunning,complex man with many mysteries,yet has many emotions.He is phenomenal in his acting.
Li Landi as Jiang Ci,is a smart,naive,decisive yet kind girl from Jiang village who comes to capital and gets herself involved in the midst of ongoing political tensions.She is very good in her acting.
Jeremy Tsui,as Pei Yan,is smart,intelligent,cunning,stubborn and yet becomes a reliable friend who stands for Wei Zhao in difficult times.His acting was excellent.
All the characters have their own goals,personalities,and are very complex and are written perfectly.
The sets, costumes,production,locations,screenplay,plot,twists and turns,everything is good.

Fateful love
The drama starts off with the FL travelling back to ancient times after she accidentally opens a dagger in a cave.Well I quite liked the story of this drama.The start was promising.Han Ziqing,the FL,is really badass and never spares anyone who messes with her.
Zhu Xudan's acting is very good.Be it action scenes, emotional scenes,being badass and confident,she carried herself well from the beginning to the end.
ML is always calm,smart, decisive,supportive of his wife.Zhang Han performance was good as Jun Beiyue.
The main highlight in this drama is the chemistry between the main leads,ML and FL.
Their scenes were good to watch,though they were short lived.I liked their pairing and also the tacit understanding they have with each other.
All the supporting cast were good.
I kinda liked the concept of time travel and how they unfolded the hidden secrets.
The costumes, jewellery and accessories are really good in this drama.I have never seen such good hair accessories and crowns in any other dramas.
Though there were annoying side roles,I still would suggest to watch this drama as it will not disappoint .The last episodes were very good.Overall the rating could be between 8.1-8.2.
It can be watched easily without any hesitation.Though it has its flaws,you can go for it.I liked this drama.

Liu Xueyi as Wu xin is perfect and completes the trio.
I even liked Xiao se and Qianluo little romantic track.

Interesting sequel!!
I find the sequel more interesting and engaging.The second season starts with the demise of Bi Yao and Zhang Xiao Fan starts off in search of the methods to resurrect her.
The sequel,though short,shows the decisions each one has to make to restore peace to the world and end all the evil in this world.
All the protagonists,though have chosen their own paths,unite together against the antagonists and defeat them.
A decent sequel.Glad to watch it.

Engaging drama to watch
After a long time,I decided to watch this treasure drama.But luckily I was not disappointed.The story begins with Ding Yunqi,a doctor who studied in Uk returning to China in search of his father where he learns about Kunlun mountains,which is being guarded by the Ding family and Penta sect.How the protagonist finds out is the rest of the story.
Ding Yunqi is a very calm,smart and cool male lead.He sticks to his principles,values,virtues,gives relationships utmost importance and never compromises.Xu Kai as Ding Yunqi has really acted well especially after seeing him in a jovial role in arsenal military academy.His role here is quite contrast but he performed excellent.
Zhong chu xi as Wu shuang is really good.Wu shuang is naive and honest and sincere.
The other actors acted well.
I personally liked the brotherhood between Ding Yunqi,Luo yunsong and Sun sanxuan.
Luo yunsong character development was good.
The whole journey of this team to the Kunlun mountains is exciting,suspenseful and engaging.
I personally liked the pace of the drama with no nonsense.
One of the best cdramas to watch.give it a go.👌

A mirror of the present day scenario
Angels fall sometimes tells the story of a young, enthusiastic, hardworking,Lin Tuo,the son of a surgeon and a nurse, who is in search of a job after graduating from university.He has a younger brother who is interested in music.He crosses paths with An Zhique,a hardworking girl who lives with her father.Soon they fall in love and Lin Tuo finds a job in a furniture company.But his life turns upside down when he is diagnosed with ALS and all his aspirations and happiness are shattered in an instant.The life of Lin Tuo is like a mirror to the life of many people in the present day scenario.A person's greatest fear in his/her life,IMO,is definitely regarding health.
Lin Tuo's character is an epitome of the feelings,angst,fear,tensive,sad,depressing moments one has to face when they know that they have been diagnosed with an illness/incurable illness.
All the people around him,though afraid of losing him,try their best to keep him happy and create memories so that he never feels lonely or depressed.
His parents who were career driven once,change their ways after they learn about their son's diagnosis.The transformation into their attitude and roles was good.
Lin Tuo's friend ,Chen Guangpu,is one friend every person needs in their lives.Their friendship is one of the most outstanding asset of this drama.
An Zhique,is a supportive fiance and I liked how she stood by him in his difficult times.
His senior,boss and all his colleagues also help and support him in his depressive times.
Overall it is a very good drama that showcases all our contemporary lives.
Maybe sometimes,the best medicine for a person to heal is not a oral medicine but to support them emotionally and mentally.
All the actors were good in their performances.The story was good.
A good drama to watch though it is very realistic in its approach.

Justice always triumphs
"A dream of splendor"mainly focuses on women and their struggles to settle in their life.It tells the story of 3 women from Qiantang to the Eastern capital and how they start and run a business successfully and establish themselves in the capital,make friends and eventually find their loved ones.Liu Yifei as Zhao Pan'er and Chen Xiao as Gu Qianfan were perfect in their roles.Ada Liu is excellent as Sun Sanniang.Jelly Lin as Yinzhang is also good..All the other actors were good.
The drama,to be precise is very practical and also interesting at the same time.
What I liked the most is the background is very bright and all the costumes and sets were very nice.The plot is also grippy with few twists and turns.The locations were scenicl.
Overall it is a worth watching drama which leaves a pleasant impression on our minds.

Different aspirations,goals and destinies
This drama is primarily based on a story of 2 friends played by Cheng Yi and Li Yifeng.Both of them hailing from the same village,join in the same sect after a disaster strikes their village.The post events that take place in their lives forms the latter part of the story
Both the actors were quite good in their roles.
Yang Zi,Qin Junjie and Zhao Liying were also good in their roles.
The pace was good.There were not many twists and turns and the villains are the typical antagonists that we see in any drama.
Though the plot is not so intense, but still it is watchable.
A good wuxia drama.
