Remarks

[Drama Info]

After ~ 5 years, the main cast and original creative team – director and screenwriters – have returned to film a Season 2 of The Imperial Coroner. 

A quick recap: In S1 Chu Chu (Su Xiao Tong), a socially awkward coroner, joins Xiao Jin Yu (Wang Zi Qi), a prince and head investigator, to untangle a series of mysteries tied to court politics. The season ends with Prince An's conspiracy exposed and Chu Chu officially recognized as an imperial coroner. The 2CP, Jing Yi (Yang Ting Dong) and Leng Yue (Zhao Yao Ke:), and bodyguard-brother (Wang Yan Bin) round out the investigative team.

And it's Su Xiao Tong with back to back mystery period romances: Treasure at Dawn
