File:BTS -House of Cards- ♣ Crime!AU (Fanfic Trailer)

This is a trailer I made for the fanfiction House of Cards by Sugamins, which you can read here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5293532?view_full_work=true

„Jungkook is the heir to a mob empire, the most notorious in the whole of Seoul. Taehyung is a rookie sent in to infiltrate by his select team and bring the empire crumbling down.“

Please, read all the warnings carefully before you start reading, it contains some very disturbing imagery not suitable for minors and squeamish folks.

I probably don’t need to say this (since I kind of poured my soul into the video), but I absolutely loved this fanfiction. The quality is really outstanding, so if you’re intrigued, definitely give it a go. Just be aware of what you’re getting yourself into, this fiction is not for those light of heart. The author tackles some very heavy themes like violence, drug abuse etc. I read it in one go and it stayed with me long after I finished it. I can honestly say it’s got one of the best and most satisfying endings I‘ve ever read in any fiction, which in itself speaks incredibly highly of the author’s ability to have you invested in the characters and their journey. Even though, the fic is more psychologically driven, the plot is very well thought-out and engaging, I praise the author for being so detailed (e.g. I kept looking up guns and cars to be able to appreciate it together with the characters xD) and not afraid of the dirt, so to say. It read very realistically and thanks to the multiple POVs (which imho are particularly hard to write in general) you got a sense of where everyone’s coming from. I have a serious love-hate relationship with the two main protagonists, which was partly the intent, so I’m definitely not complaining. Although, the fic might not be as „polished“ in some places, for an author who doesn’t have a whole team behind them to proof-read etc. I think it’s pretty damn impressive and the quality of the story is well above most of the regular published staff. Seriously, when the author publishes a book, I’m buying it.

With that said, I hope you all will like the trailer (hopefully – and especially the author ;). I almost flipped my notebook twice while editing, because I couldn’t figure out the correct wording and find suitable footage. But in the end, here we are ;). Looks more like a short movie tbh, but I think I avoided all the spoilers and left enough mystery so that I can still call it a trailer ;). Yay, welcome me to the new fandom of BTS.

Edit: Oh fuck me, the glitches at the beginning look so much smoother in my original video (well, the whole video does really) than after uploading it to youtube. So much for my precision with editing *cries internally*. Anyway, nothing I can do about that I guess -_-'.
