After watching the second season

It was Merlin who gave silently before. Arthur was colder and more nervous, not paying attention to Merlin's feelings.

But in the last episode, Arthur seemed more enthusiastic and active, caring about what Merlin was thinking, and wanted to make Merlin happy, but Merlin became cold and didn't speak much.

Watching quietly, I can more notice the subtle expressions and emotions. For example, when the two were talking on the hostel bed, Arthur had been looking at Merlin's bed, but Merlin turned over and turned his back to Arthur. Merlin's heart at this time was closed, resisted, and escaped. Arthur looked at Merlin and observed Merlin’s reaction every time he said something. Even if he knew Merlin would not see it, every time he said something serious (for example, Merlin was the stupid servant), he had to laugh and show that it was a joke. . The prince really cares about Merlin, but none of these Merlin can be seen.

When one person opens his heart, the other person closes it. When the second person finally opened up, the first person closed again. Why things always go so wrong. In the first season, Merlin wanted to tell the truth and let Arthur accept who he was, but in the second season, there was no attempt in this regard.

In addition, why can't they let Yamei hug? From the beginning to the end, the two never hugged the two, and it was said to be a rotten drama... Is it to avoid suspicion? But Merlin and Gaius hugged every day, and Will also hugged, indicating that it was normal for men to hug at that time. As a good friend and good brother, it is normal for Yamei to hug before the final battle of life and death! Moreover, the two of Yamei always have that look in their eyes, they always look like their bodies want to hug, but they are sensible but are holding back. This is even more suspicious, OK! It is rare for the two to even high-five. Seeing Arthur’s appearance, it was obvious that he wanted physical contact, but the screenwriter just refused to let him. Forcing Arthur to poke with a wooden stick, smash with a pillow, and knock Merlin with his fist...

In the last episode, it was clearly shown that the old king was no longer good, and it was time for Arthur to be king. Arthur has blatantly disobeyed his father's will many times. He was somewhat hesitant and scrupulous when he resisted before. This time he has no hesitation and is very confident. After the king sternly said that I, as the king, ordered you not to go to the Dragon Knight, Arthur smiled lightly and said, I will tell you when I find it. And the king has nothing to do with it. How can the king serve the public like this? After Arthur came back, the old king who had been an iron fist had lost his will and hope, weakened and waited to die. It was Arthur who summoned firmly and resolutely to encourage everyone to continue fighting. What the old king can do is to acquiesce in Arthur's command as the supreme leader.

It's time for King Arthur to give orders! In the next season, if the screenwriter doesn't have a brainstorm and has another character reset, Arthur must be succeeded to the crown. Before, Arthur often disagreed with the old king, but he resisted it and obeyed the old king's orders, but since then, he will never obey the old king again. The old king should also know that he can no longer control his son. The last shot of the old king was to see Arthur coming back from the window, and smiled with relief. I think he was not only happy that he successfully drove away the dragon and his son returned safely, but also happy that his son has grown into a true hero and leader. , You can safely entrust the country to him. Even if the old king does not die in the next season, he should take the initiative to abdicate.

But from another perspective, with Merlin’s unremitting efforts, Arthur became more and more idiot and arrogant... Merlin used magic in front of him several times, but he didn’t even notice it. In the end Merlin said that he was in a coma. After driving away the dragon, he can actually believe it! Where is the keenness and alertness that can be detected in hostels and campsites...This drama will not develop in the direction of "Detective Conan" where Kogoro Moori really believes that he can solve crimes in his sleep...
