Asian Land of Pristine Beaches & Friendly Folks
I finished SToTD 2 yesterday, and it's a very good series, love it! The overarching story and cases are well-written, and the music and production quality are good. I also like the excellent fight scenes, the cast's acting (from main to supporting) and the continually growing dynamics and camaraderie of the main characters - Lu Ling Feng, Su Wu Ming, Pei Xi Jun, Fei Ji Shi, Chu Ying Tao, and eventually, Xue Huan (who rejoined the team later).

I'm looking forward to season 3, which I hope would be shown next year 2025, or at the latest, in 2026. Aside from more interesting cases and the political maneuverings/gripping main story, I also hope they would further develop the 2 main couples' relationship.

Final verdict: SToTD S2 is a very good sequel and I highly recommend it. For those who haven't watched both seasons and thinking of diving into S2, I suggest to watch S1 first before S2, to get more context and to know more about the characters and their backgrounds.

"Murder on the Orient Express" is also what I thought of as I finished "The Letter from Shangxian Hall".
I haven't watched MLC. As to your question, it wasn't clearly explained, but that could be a reason why he admitted to it. Or could it be possible that he really did have a part in the crime?

Will i be lost if i watch season 2 without season 1?
I recommend you watch season 1 first before season 2 to know how the characters got together, to understand their background, and gain a better appreciation of them in season 2. You would also get more context if you watch S1 first.

Its an ensemble cast and story. Everyone is super critical to the team dynamic and brings their own strengths…
They're not very vocal about their romantic feelings but they express them with their actions, like the things they do for their lady love 😍.

I couldn’t wait to share, the SToTD production team released an official statement on Weibo today that S3 is…

Well said. LuLu is quite cunning now and so far removed from his S1 self. The actor is good looking and well built…
Hello! Glad to see you here! Thanks for the recommendation, I will look for "Love in Time". Still watching SToTD S2 now 😊.

Through S1 and S2, Xijun character attested to be more than just the girl for the protagonist. Not to be the eye…
You nailed it. I just finished part 1 and I have grown to like Pei Xijun's character 😊. Sometimes, one has to continue watching to understand and appreciate a character more.

For those who don’t like the female lead .. please watch past episode 5 and she will become one of your favorite.…
I agree! FL's character developed a lot as the drama moves along, and I also ended up liking her! She's smart and charming, and made important contributions in many of the cases.

I decided to watch this drama when I saw part 2 being aired, and I'm I glad I did! I like the diverse cast, interesting cases, and the growth and relationship dynamics of the characters, especially Su Wu Ming, Lu Ling Feng, Pei Xi Jun, Fei Ji Shi and Xue Huan. It was fun solving the cases with them 👏. And I have to say, Xue Huan is adorable 😊. At least I can continue with part 2, without having to wait for months (or even years).

Saw this in iQiyi and it airs tonight, 1130pm SGT. Looking forward to watch Jing Tian in another drama! It's interesting to see Zhang Li He and Darren Chen here too.

Some thoughts after finishing this drama yesterday:
1. The 3 couples are interesting and paired quite well, but my favorites are the main couple and 2nd couple. I'm glad that the 2nd and 3rd pairs got their airtime and story too.
2. Some parts dragged a bit, but as a whole, it's interesting enough to keep me watching because I wanted to know what's going to happen next.
3. Good romance and OST, intriguing premise, great fight scenes, and diverse cast of characters.
4. Good production and costume design, e.g., Jiang Xin Bai's well-matched attire and Yan Nan Xing's clothes.
5. I like the nice and well executed ending 😊.

Overall, this is a good and enjoyable drama for me.

Review Lovesickness
I agreed with you about the ML. He's a really good actor and he portrayed his role really well. Now that you mentioned…
Glad that you also noticed the similarity between the ML and Chen Xing Xu :).

Since you are enjoying this, maybe you can help me understand something, because Yan Nan Xing is really really…
I think it's because at this point in the story, Yan Nan Xing was not ready to fully trust Jiang Xin Bai again (or he has not fully regained her trust).
