Yah, I loved this movie. But, when I saw this last episode. I almost wanted to beat the producer/writer or w/e. I can’t believe they did that! I think sometimes, TVB writers come up with the lamest endings to try to make the viewers sad and w/e. OR if they have good endings, they usually just make retarded endings for the co-stars or less important characters. Idk, I really wanted Jack and Leila to get together!!!!!!!!!!! MAN! I was sooooooooooo angry! I wanted to punch someone!!! GRR!

Anyways, I thought the way Crystal killed Louisa was retarded! I thought the writers could make it so that Leila didn’t die and she and Crystal get Louisa back into jail and on death row again. Then have the mean prison ppl beat her up…. And have Louisa’s son come and call her ugly or something!

This movie was wonderful, except for the dumb ending. =]So, I made up my own ending. HEHHEE….

OMG IT’S SO SAD

I literally cried which watching the episode. And i’m only a 13 year old guy. Why did Leila had to die!??!?!?!?!? WAAAAAHHHHH!!!

But I guess it really made the story better since it made Crystal realize how bad her sister really was. Louisa was killed at the exact location she would have die four years ago, so that was kinda cool.

Overall, great drama series, lots of suspense, very emotional, GG!

i agree with the poster because i think leila shoulent have had to suffered because of louisa should be on the verge to dieing,i also think that it should be a happy ending and not a sad and tragic ending because its not right for the good people to suffer and the bad person to live and not suffer at all! it really annoys me when i read the ending of the phoenix king.But throgh out the whole movie i liked it alot!!!!! XD

The name Phoenix Rising came from a movie also by the name of Phoenix Rising about a man having the same dream about murdering his father. After some investigation, he really DID killed his father, and ran away and passed the ball to some one else, similar to what Louisa did.

i think phoenix rising was a good name for the series. the definition of a phoenix is a mythical bird of great beauty fabled to live 500 or 600 years in the Arabian wilderness, to burn itself on a funeral pyre, and to rise from its ashes in the freshness of youth and live through another cycle of years: often an emblem of immortality or of reborn idealism or hope. in the series, louisa keeps on getting second chances from everyone around her, because everyone hopes that she will turn good. however, she never turns good throughout the whole series so its like a cycle of phoenix risings, where this is hope, but the cycle has to continue again because she stays evil and then is given another second chance (the rebirth). also, when they were in prison, they kept referencing the birds in the sky, and how they wanted to fly out of the prison. and then no matter how many times they tried, they still ended up back in prison, so its like a cycle of hope and then death (when they get caught) there too.

Hm~ I guess the “Phoenix Rising” idea does fit ^^;

To Summer: Yupyup, i agree with you about the scary thing is the “evilness of human beings”, not the same as the feeling you get in most horror movies..

‘Phoenix Rising’ hasn’t been released in HongKong yet (not sure if they plan to later), but if they don’t, they won’t be considered for any award in TVB Anniversary…

Pheonix Rising, this series story line is just so matched to their poster, quite scary.. i not mean scary on you see Ghost …. the scary is from we ” human being ” … the evilness of human being, i m sure in tis world, there’s ppl such as Louisa… that EVIl and that BAD…. any way, i will feel we ” human being” sometimes is more scary then GHOST , cos.. u can see fr LOUISA… so scary, even her sis , she oso can kil.. and betrayed and lie once and once… and her eldest sis kept on give her chances, she still so evil and she just do lots of thing for her own good and dun bother of others life or dead…
tis series, i m not much interested , but i would feel tis quite a good story line and is a good remind to ppl that wan to do evil, any way, i love LOUISA , Leila & Krsytal acting in Pheonix Rising, they 3 is great… just 3 lady, they can bring out their own character out, is really good.. so, actually once i finished watched tis series, i m thinking, will Louisa voted for tis yr end coming TVB anniversary’s Best Actress leh.. wish so, she would being vote lo.. cos.. i woulc felt her acting is good …

so, KTVB, how u felt abt tis series ??

i think maybe ‘phoenix rising’ refers to krystal and louisa. to me, phoenix rising means rebirth, and in the show there were many instances (especially for louisa) where the 2 of them faced hardships but managed to step out of it. like going to prison. but it’s probably more meant for krystal the eldest sister because of the word ‘phoenix’ which is a grand creature (i don’t think they meant louisa as grand and noble).
it’s probably when krystal killed louisa that is the actual phoenix rising, because she finally realised louisa’s still evil and finally rids herself of louisa. metaphorically, she is reborn?
