Still close to perfect!
Epic continues 4.5 years later.... Everyone's been waiting and I am so happy most of the main and supportive cast returned. Must be a tremendous effort to coordinate all the schedules. However, having rewatched S1 to prepare for S2, the absence of Xiao Zhan was felt immediately. I get it, he's a big star now but sometimes a small part in an epic drama beats ML in a mediocre drama. Actor Wu Xing Jian did not deliver the intense stare Xiao Zhan had for Yan Bing Yun's character. Not that I expected him to, but I was hoping for more? The entire character felt flat.Story started a bit slow with some OTP crying but by ep 4, the humor really kicked in when the faceoff between the Crown Prince, 2nd prince & Fan Xian happened. You know how great the acting is when they can deliver that micro expression. It's living up to the hype and definitely will be the best drama of the year!
Sure, there are minor things I am not liking:
Dubbing for Liu Ru Yu (Madam Fan) is different and not in a good way.
The yodeler music for silly funny scenes is a bit overdone.
Yan Bing Yun's character changing from sexy mysterious feel to blahhhhh
But there are also improvements:
Lighting (S1 was olive... browns... yeah not flattering)
S2 lighting is much better. No over skin smoothing, no heavy makeup, you can see people's skin textures
Continued character development like the crown prince
Introduction of new interesting characters like the 1st prince & princess pairing
A must watch for anyone who loves beyond idol dramas.

kind of boring - one of my most anticipated series was a a bummer
kind of boring - one of my most anticipated series was a a bummer ...This is like Under the microscope tv show ... Better than the feminine heroes based tv shows recently though
why my rating is lower?
1. This is the second season of one of the top tv shows - so there is no urgency to finish anything
2. Took over 4 years to get the second season but messed up on the storyline
3. Death of Main hero in first season tweak in second season is not great - I would have preferred a much better twist - kind of lame deal in this season
4. im tired of honest man going through politics ... esp with all the knowledge of today in ancient world and he still is not able to deliver it - kind of super ordinary hero
