Same! One advantage of doing all the flashbacks early is that it avoided, say, the points where fake dating is a significant part of the plot. But they got through all those flashbacks in season 1 so I am very curious about how things will go in season 2. And yeah, the final confrontation would lose a lot of it's charm without Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji in the background angsting about their sex life and snuggling distractingly.
