Rewatch. 'Key to the Phoenix Heart' is one of those series that you have to rewatch as soon as it ends because you're sure to have missed some details; it has a very rich plot. The entire script is incredibly interwoven right from the first episode. You can't look away for a second, or you'll miss something. When you add a top-notch cast to a script like this, magic happens.Xiao Wuji couldn't have been played by anyone other than Hou Minghao. His performance is incredibly passionate and intelligent. The character's first impression is that of a cold and ruthless nature; you need to see this side of him to understand and empathize with him later on. He carries his country in his heart, has a mission, and must fulfill it. Minghao paces his performance so masterfully throughout the entire series that it never ceases to amaze me.His chemistry with Xie Jiayu's character is incredible, and not just from a romantic point of view—they make a perfect team. The young actress, Aimee, is also very good and a pleasant surprise. From an aesthetic perspective, I'm glad the visuals are 'raw,' without excessive and unnecessary cosmetic enhancements that would spoil the "classic" feel of the story. I really like the characters' costumes and hairstyles. The action scenes are fantastic. The stunts were performed by the actor himself, like the famous horseback riding scene with a red ribbon covering his eyes. Hou Minghao's dedication is admirable. Another highlight is the soundtrack, performed by Hou Minghao himself. The opening and closing theme songs are wonderful. You can't fast-forward through them; you just have to listen. This is yet another talent from this young actor.
¡Neo y Seven juntos en una misma serie! Hay tanto talento en este reparto que rompe la pantalla. Sólo por eso merece la pena verla.... y no sólo por eso... ¡la serie es encantadora!
Hou Minghao publicó hoy su ensayo final sobre el pesonaje de Ji Bozai. Neo es tan inteligente, y el conocimiento del pesonaje es tan profundo que demuestra porque su actuación fué tan buena. "Tras escapar del abismo de oscuridad, Ji Bozai anhelaba más que nadie saborear cada gramo de la belleza del mundo, decidido a aferrarse a la primera persona a la que había amado".
