Kung Fu season 2 finale spoilers follow.
Kung Fu star Olivia Liang has reacted to season 2's big death in the finale.
The last episode of the season saw Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) sacrificing herself to defeat villainous crime lord Russell Tan, who was in his son Kerwin's body.
"I was sobbing reading the finale when she said, 'Go home, little monk'," Liang told TVLine.
"I was like, 'Man, how has that now become a term of endearment when [Zhilan has] been poking fun at Nicky for being a Shaolin [practitioner]?"

Discussing whether or not Zhilan is gone for good, Liang suggested it wouldn't be impossible for the character to be brought back to life next season.
"It can't end there. I would love to see more of [Nicky and Zhilan's] dynamic in the upcoming season," she said.
"We've introduced magic to the world, so it wouldn't be the craziest thing if she managed to survive. But I don't know what [the writers] have planned."

Elsewhere, Nicky and Henry end up breaking up after Henry set off to learn more about his late father's life.
"Clearly, they don't want to break up, but it's just life circumstances that are pulling them apart," Liang said. "I'm sure audiences are going to be bummed that they're separated, but hold out hope that it's not the end for them."
The show will be back for a third season, following its renewal in March alongside the likes of The Flash, Jared Padalecki's Walker, Superman & Lois, and Riverdale.
It was later confirmed that Riverdale's seventh season would be its final one.
Kung Fu airs on The CW in the US.
