Does Anyone Else Feel This Way About Fangs of Fortune?

Well, this is a conspiracy about the director, Edward Guo, in particular rather than just the drama.

I feel like he made this drama for Tian Jiarui. It’s no secret that he’s obsessed with him. He’s about to star in his third drama soon along with Chen Duling, Ju Jingyi and Zheng Shunxi.

So, even though Hou Minghao was first billing, looking at the drama as a whole, especially the second half it seemed like Zhou Yichen was ultimately the protagonist.

Like I don’t get how Zhu Yan, a 37,000 years old, strongest demon in the world got so weak and helpless towards the end? Meanwhile Zhou Yichen just kept on growing stronger. >! He got Yinglong’s dragon bone and became a demon, got Li Lun’s demonic energy, got the Truth Eye from him too. And people might argue that Zhao Yuanzhou made the ultimate sacrifice in the end since he’s the main character, even the special ep was pretty much about Zhou Yichen. !< I’m not even going to bring up Wen Xiao because she was pretty much a supporting character by the end, a goddess in name only. Both Zhou Yichen and Li Lun had way more impact on the story.

The director has a track record of doing this. Even in My Journey To You, Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan were often overshadowed by the second cp of Shangguan Qian and Gong Shang Jue. But they had great chemistry so that’s understandable I’d say.

However, with FOF it seems like a concentrated effort to make Tian Jiarui look pretty. While I do like him, it was getting kind of ridiculous how much he cried in the drama. He cried like 3-4 times in every episode. Like we get it. He’s a pretty crier!

What are everyone’s thoughts on this??
