I thought they were cute in MSP, but they showed a whole other level of acting in MC. It was wonderful to see their growth, esp. in that short amount of time.
Moonlight Chicken aired after, but was filmed before MSP. Unless I read that in youtube comments, which can be either great sources of information or complete nonsense :)
My take is that Moonlight Chicken asked a lot more of them and they delivered. Heart seems to get more attention because he's unique, but IMO Li Ming with all of his complicated storylines is the stand-out character of the series (and I'm a big fan of Wen and Jim. And Leng. And...). I like them in MSP, but am underwhelmed by MSP in general, especially given the hype and praise it gets.
