Thanks for your comments. Enjoy the rest of the season - you are on to the last two cases now, both are very good!…
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.

Well said. LuLu is quite cunning now and so far removed from his S1 self. The actor is good looking and well built…
My pleasure.

I'm also still watching SToTD S2, up to episode 29 now as that's the free ones available

OMG, Remember that he had to shave his mustache in S1?! LOL. That scene was brilliant. One of my favorite cases…
Oh yes, then LuLu had to wear a fake mustache so they swapped 🤣

Thanks, I can see it now. So cute. Also nice BTS, he really worked hard for the fight scenes.

I guess the Weibo is based on the country like you said.

I know. S1 got 7.9 on Douban and 8.3 on MDL. S2 got 8.4 on Douban and only 8.0 on MDL. What's wrong with international…
I really hope so. Usually the score is more "correct" after it finished airing for a while.

Perhaps some people like me haven't finished watching so haven't rated it yet.

I have nothing else to say other than how proud I am of LuLu. *happy tears* From arrogant, prideful, and reckless,…
Well said. LuLu is quite cunning now and so far removed from his S1 self. The actor is good looking and well built so he looks good in almost anything but the costume department knows that they are doing.
The actor stars in a modern show "Love in Time" and he looked super dashing in suits. I watched that right after SToTD S1. Romance is not usually my thing and I watched it for LuLu, besides the story itself was quite interesting.

Whoever called him LuLu first is a genius.
