There are dramas where the viewers know more than the leads do about the story, but here every episode seems to be accompanying the leads. The characters having different behavior pattern that blend right in. Watching this season without watching the first might lead to being slow in knowing about the character development but it doesn't actually stop you from directly watching this season. Still the first season is worth the watch. Completion of each episode makes you want more. The fact that Wu Xie's uncle seems to be more mysterious than mysteries of the tomb?. The entire cast really did justify the characters; the emotions, the dialogue delivery. All in all this was an amazing piece for me.
