It's not fair for people to want the same sort of characters for part 2. It's a different show! Personally, I like Ping Jing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of his character, how will he grow once he has to depend on himself, and how will he carry the burden of Changlin manor. Hopefully season two has just as high of a rating as season one did and people give it a chance on it's own without expecting the same sort of story and characters like season 1. I gave season one 9 stars, and by the end of season 2 I hope to give it the same.
