Unriddle 2 (simplified Chinese: 最火搭档 2) is a Singaporean Chinese drama which was telecast on Singapore's free-to-air channel, MediaCorp Channel 8. It made its debut on 5 March 2012. This drama serial consists of 20 episodes, and was screened on every weekday night at 9:00 pm. In Malaysia, it will be broadcast on the ntv7 primetime drama slot at 10:00pm around May. It is a sequel to Unriddle, one of the first sequels in Mediacorp dramas in nearly 10 years. The sequel is also noted for its much darker tone as compared to the first series.
In the Season 1 ending, Xiaoman (Rui En) and Zhengyi aka Bun (Chen Liping) were about to find out the mystery of a new case. This cliff-hanger leads into a new season of 20 episodes.
The show sees the return of the two main characters Xiaoman (Rui En) and Zhengyi aka Bun (Chen Liping), where picking off from the cliff-hanger ending at the Season 1 they continue to solve cases of complex crimes beyond their imagination. Each case leads to another, quickly taking on a darker and edgier tone, with many friends and loved ones getting killed and pushing the duo to their limits. As the story progresses, they realize that there is yet another mastermind behind these events and that the reasons for their own involvement in these cases may be more than simply being part of their work...
Elvin Ng, Yuan Shuai, Adam Chen and Sora Ma join the cast as Xiaoman's fellow CID officers. Xiang Yun, Zhou Ying, Joshua Ang and Wee Kheng Ming will reprise their roles from the first season. Tay Ping Hui will only appear in the first 7 episodes despite still being a main character. Other actors from the previous season such as Brandon Wong and Chen Tianwen return but play different characters.
