Review:Legend of the Phoenix (2019)
This is long 40+ episodes. It starts off the this circus troop who has this bratty girl Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhiwho seems to get into trouble easily. She develop a crush on Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang who is a strategist. He saves her and the troop from disaster I the palace and she falls in love with him just like snap your fingers.
Dramas sure like these underwater kissing scenes. To me they seem dangerous, complicated and difficult. They fall from a great height into the water and one runs out of breath and the other gives them air. Bit scary too. They swim like mermaids through the water in this one.
Learning to be a maid is so hard for her she can’t control her mouth but I thought her deportment should be good after her circus training but she gets whacked a lot. She is a clever little cookie with little tricks and a nimble mind and mouth now she has got her two sisters into the palace. She better be very careful though its dangerous inside that palace .
Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from maid to official with a title Lord Ye. Her loved one Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang is going to war as a Great Marshall because he wants to clear his fathers name. I think the father, he was killed because one of the palace princesses or concubines fell in love with him? She was following him around in the market. Maybe be he rejected her? Maybe its the queen dowager who is in reign now?
What I have found out. She is the Princess Royal the Emperor Sister. First fact correct - She’s a Princess - Princess Chang the oldest daughter of the Queen Dowager. She is the sister of the Emperor. She is of high rank. The Princess Royal and another brother are stirring up rebellion and maybe the ones that sent the assassins to kill the Emperor and the Queen but weren’t successful.
Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from Lord Ye to Consort Ning wife of the Emperor.
Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from Consort Ning to Noble Consort Ning. The Emperor is madly in love with her. He loved her from the moment he set eyes on her when he saw her perform in some town. She doesn’t feel the same way about him though.
Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er is a faithful maid who wants to serve her because she save Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er life. To save her life Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi had to become the Consort Ning. Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er later becomes the bain of their lives. This mistake caused the the Emperors dreams to come true as he married her to save her Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzh from being killed. But because she wasn’t responding to his love and affection, Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er was able to seduce him. She thought the Emperor really loved her but she pushed him too far.
*I don’t want to make this prediction but don’t tell me at the end she is going to be killed for her lover Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang. Just the everything she has done so far is to protect someone. She tells them the truth that they want to hears and it works but it is never her truth. The truth she tells them makes them angry and they turn away from her but it achieves the goal she wants to achieve. The Emperor only went to save him because she begged him to and now she can’t leave him. The Emperor still doesn’t trust him.
Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang says “I won’t bother you I’ll just watch you from afar.” What a sad love story. True love can be like this. They are both crying. These two know each other so well both will never betray the Emperor. Who can you trust though.
Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi and Empress’ (Cao Xi Wen) are both wives of the Emperor and have men that love them and want to protect them in the palace. They are all frightened but they are a force to be reckoned with and such brilliant strategist but they are walking a tight rope.
Those two’s Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi and Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang meeting place high upon the highest roof where no-one could see them or reach them. Their shadows held hands and they talked about their goals. They were one heart wanting to save the common people.
What sacrifice these people made for their loves. Wayne Lai as Lang Kun for the love of his Empress he made himself a eunuch.
What shall I say about the ending, me an impatient person who often rants and raves about the writers. Lets say its surprising and those people who get frustrated and annoyed. Let me tell you this don’t stop watching and just go to the very end. When you do that you will learn why I believe this is one of the most amazing, fascinating, moving and incredible Historic Adventure I have ever watched.
