且听凤鸣 - Dance of the Phoenix - On Air
且听凤鸣 (Dance of the Phoenix) is an 2020 drama out of Zhong Guo. The drama stars Yang Chaoyue, Xu Kaicheng, and Fu Jing. Yang Chaoyue and Fu Jing were former teammates on Rocket Girls 101. The drama is part of the Xian Xia ( fantasy) genre where they have magical powers that they cultivate. As the Wu Xia genre has decreased in recent years, Xian Xia has taken over this past decade or more.
My whole family is currently obsessed with this series. We rush to the viki app everyday to see if new episodes are available. We fell in love with Yang Chaoyue during 炙热的我们 (We Are Blazing) and this series has put her as one my daughters favorites. I hope she makes a good transition into show biz and has a long career.
The drama itself isn't overly complicated and kinda reminds of another series that I got obessed over a decade ago, 仙劍奇俠傳三 (Chinese Paladin 3). Both take a video game approach to the story. The main star of Yang Chaoyu as Feng Wu is the star of the series. Yang is immediately likable and has the beauty to carry the show. I don't know how ratings go on Tencent, but our family loves the show and can't wait for it to continue.
Can it go 60-80 episodes?
