I'm so SEATED FOR THIS!
It wouldn't be a Hou Minghao drama if his character wouldn't find himself at the pointy end/sharp edge of the FL's blade.
The romance is romancing and the chemistry is chemistrying!
Hou Minghao in his first general era!!! To say he is ON FIRE would be an understatement of the century. Demonic general Xiao Wuji indeed!
It never ceases to amaze me how otherworldly gorgeous this man is.
Wearing one of the rare masks in c-dramaland that actually hides his elven face. The drama looks so beautiful even though the wrap-up trailer shows only B-roll shots and unfinished scenes.
Of course, he has to bleed a lot and get tortured.
Plot summary:
Basically the story is tailored for me.
Key to the Phoenix Heart wrapped filming a week ago so one would expect it to air sometime in the second half of 2026. It's scheduled for 28 episodes. It's also the sole reason a certain crowd on Twitter is having a collective seizure and is already boycotting it because of the age difference between the lead actors (Ai Mi was 17 while filming it). Don't tell them about Majo no Jouken or their few braincells might explode.
