#KeytothePhoenixHeart Interview Q: “At what moment do you think #XiaoWuyi’s feelings toward Xie Jiayu became, ‘I’ll give you the entire universe, no explanation needed’?”
#HouMinghao: “‘The entire universe, no explanation needed’…it means giving her everything, absolutely everything, right?
I think the most important scene for their relationship in the early part of the story is the ‘riding-through-the-targets scene.’ After that sequence, Xiao Wuyi completely falls in love with her. She falls a little later than he does. Before that scene, there had already been many moments—like what we were just talking about—where Xie Jiayu helped Xiao Wuyi. She became involved in his work, his family, and so many aspects of his life. On the surface, Xiao Wuyi seems bothered by her, but little by little he’d already gotten used to having her by his side, and he’d already started to like her.
But all of that still wasn’t enough for him to truly fall in love. It wasn’t until the moment during the ‘riding-through-the-targets’ scene, when she tied that red ribbon around him. I think it’s because he’s a young man and it was probably the first time he’d ever been that physically close to a girl. On top of that, because he wanted to protect the women living in the Xiao residence, he always deliberately kept a respectful distance from them. So this was his first time being that close to Xie Jiayu, with her tying the ribbon for him.
I also think Xiao Wuyi admires strength. He’s someone who respects strong people. Xie Jiayu, a girl, can voluntarily come onto the battlefield just to tie that ribbon on him, and then go beat the war drum. Beyond simply looking cute and pretty, what really moved him was her courage. When faced with danger, or with something that involved the bigger picture, she was willing to stand against everyone and step forward for his sake.
That kind of courage was something Xiao Wuyi had probably never encountered before. So aside from the close distance of that moment between them, what truly attracted Xiao Wuyi was her bravery and her strength of character as a girl. Because Xiao Wuyi is that kind of person himself.
Then there’s what she mentioned earlier, the unspoken understanding between them. When she was beating the drum, the way she struck it, the way he turned the horse…the sequence of movements made it feel like, in that moment, the two souls were completely in sync. I think both of them experienced that feeling for the first time. After that scene, Xiao Wuyi was completely, hopelessly in love.”
so good!! Hou Minghao and Ai Mi and all of the cast acted well in this drama! I never even once complained if sometimes hmh has less screen time because everyone served the plot!It's so good! this drama and xiao wuyi has become top on my fave hmh character. sorry Lu Jianglai had to step down lol
part of me me thinking the same thing but li mao is really unpredictable. i agree whatever yaoyao said abt him…
yeahhh he is all over the place. i thought he already remembered his initial aspiration for the Ye people but oh well. he is more dedicated to defeat wuyi like a psycho ex gf lol
