Season 2 was fantastic. The plot was tighter, the addition of Xiao Bai was very much welcomed into the adventure and we got some nice bromance scenes between Fatty and ZQL.
ZYL was amazing as Wu Xie, I don't think any subsequent actors can surpass his portrayal now.
I have one issue with season 2 and this happened in the last 6-8 episodes of the series. They had the actor who played ah ling's brother act as Wu xie for 4-5 episodes! It totally ruined those 4 episodes for me, I skipped most of it. Admittedly, I am a big fan of ZYL. I have nothing against the other actor and I think he would have otherwise done a good job, but I just don't think it was wise of the production team to replace the main actor for 4 episodes towards the end of the show. Even in scenes where there was no one around and Wu Xie could have taken his mask off and be played by ZYL, they still had the actor play him. I don't think it was a scheduling conflict and I believe ZYL is fully committed to the production, but a plot device which was a really bad idea.
Happy with the ending though. I'm going to miss the series.
