Ah yes, I thought I heard it wrong. I thought that was the song from Prison Break.

LOL, I was watching with my mom. She asked why didn't he use his gun and 1 second later he used his gun.

For now, they are just friends and focus more on the cases.

I thought you left a review, I was mistaken, you left your thought here.

Yes, it's pretty good in wrapping up the time travel part.

Yes. I think it makes sense 😃

Also love your user name 😃

I think Hei Tou felt guilty about using Mudan and he did like her as well. So he might as well admit to the crime since he was going to get sentenced anyway.

I didn't think about him getting famous for killing another killer but might as well :)

Ah yes, thanks for your reply. I think your take makes a lot of sense so it's very likely.

Thanks. I thought my memory failed me because I didn't remember these two from S1. So they indeed only appeared in S2.

Thanks again. 😀

Have voted. It's 117 now.

1. In "The letter from Shanxian Hall" case, why did Hei tou admit to the crime? I guess it's up to audience's interpretation but I would like to know other people's takes.

2. Who were the people who wanted to assassinate LLF and SWM? Were they characters from Season 1?

Thanks.

Questions about Season 2 below.

Yes, I guess it's up to viewers' interpretation.

MLB is great. A lot of humour, bromance, with some mystery.

Yes. There was a case in Mysterious Lotus Casebook which was similar to the "Murder on the Orient Express" as well and all of them are females as well.

Although I wonder, why the guy who has killed a lot of people admitted that he committed the murder if he didn't do that. Was he helping Mudan and other girls?

True.

Lu Lingfeng - Tang's Most Proud and Hard Working General + Policeman -
AvenueX seems to really like this show and Lu Ling Feng. For once, she is being super positive.

Ah yes, thanks for the info. I also like reading Kindle books, they are also less expensive than real books in Amazon.

Yes, the Liaozhai stories should be interesting to be translated.

I can read Mandarin but not too well, usually I'm lazy and just read the English translation. But I do need to improve my Mandarin reading. I guess it's also hard to get the books unless living in China. That's all right, I was just curious.

No worries.

Thanks.

Yes, no wonder he has done extensive research for each cases. I think it will be interesting to read his strange folk stories as well. Do they publish his work somewhere?

Was looking forward to your review. Still watching up to 31 now which is "The Letter from Shangxian Hall " case. I heard it's like "Murder on the Orient Express" so I think most of them are guilty. Ah too bad, the team didn't look the other way.

The writing, production, acting, and CGI are indeed much better in S2 than S1 which I guess is rare in C-drama history. I'm glad the actress playing Du Gu's wife was back as well as she was quite good in S1. I'm glad I saw your recommendation to watch S1 which I loved as well.

The cases in Judge Dee's mysteries are pretty simple because I could guess the perpetrator most of the time because noone was left. I read your review that it was written by British scriptwriters. No wonder when I glanced at the cast list and I saw British in Mandarin and I wondered who in the cast were British. It was actually the scriptwriters which I guess were worse because they couldn't understand the ancient Chinese culture. I'm glad this scriptwriter really did his research on culture, history, and mystical themes.

Let's hope S3 will come sooner rather than later.

So do I 😂
