The plot built up more naturally than the previous season. Not as fast paced and really focused on the characters in a way that I was always wanting to know what was going to happen next. The characters also felt more developed and flushed out than they were before. I found myself caring about characters I didn't really have an opinion on in the first season and started caring more about the leads than I did before. Speaking of the leads, their relationship is built up nicely over the season and didn't feel forced. I don't want to say too much in fear of spoilers, but I really like how they grow together!
The only qualm I have is that some sections are flashback heavy. Though it's done tastefully, it goes on for a bit and I found myself skipping forward at parts. Additionally, there's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end that had me really disappointed when I found that the plans for a following season was canceled. I hope it gets picked up again because I want to see if Duanmu Xi (Tanmoku Ki) can complete his goal.
Though I prefer the Chinese dub with how the voices fit the characters better in my opinion, the Japanese dub is still good and it doesn't shy away from as many scenes as the Chinese dub does. I'd try both, but if you're looking for the more BL scenes, go with the Japanese dub.
Again, this was a really good show! I'd highly encourage giving it a watch!
