Key to the Phoenix Heart

This series did not really get interesting to me until this episode.
Everything was good, but pretty standard drama foundation drama. It gave a nice spin in this episode. Now I am really watching. 😂

I hate when weak people get extreme power.
It weakens the story for me.
This man could not even keep his sister safe yet he is given control over the kingdom?
Huāng táng!

This part loses me, not just because of the script but partially because the character wasn't sold to me - to ever be capable. Then the actor just doesn't sell the role to me - his appearance is still "I'm a little boy" TO ME.

The fact that he is regent is also absurd. This may be the first time I've seen such a weak looking Regent being wicked and DOING THE WORK HIMSELF. Evil Regents are usually undercover wicked - not 'let me slaughter people at noon' type of action. 😂

did you watch it? They got me. Good on them - they got me.

Well, well, well.
But I can only ask now - was him not being convincing the writer's intention?

Now this other guy - Prince Ying is convincing.
