Hua deng chu shang

LIGHT THE NIGHT (2021 - ) is a Taiwanese Drama, and was a really well done series, albeit much different than the usual crime dramas out there. It was very slower moving, and at first a bit hard to really get into it, but this does improve with time and patience. I must say that the era of the 1980's in Taipei made for a very interesting setting. Actress Ruby Lin, shines bright, as always.

"In the red light district of 1980s Taipei, women at a popular Japanese night club navigate jealousy, heartbreak, friendship and love."

The quality of the series is evident and the acting is top tier as well. The story, while a bit slower paced initially, gets pretty good. Overall, this was a very well made series, very intriguing.

As a non-Asian drama lover, I think Light the Night showcased a different take on Asian dramas. The typical over dramatic, lovey dovey romance was not on display here. Light the Night displayed what the working women endured in the 80s and I found it interesting. Story was good. Overall very decent drama from the Taiwan.

Wonderful actors and character building is great. Don't listen to the mainland China reviewers. They don't like anything that is good that comes out of Taiwan including this show.

The acting from the six leading ladies is how you would portray women in movies. Definitely great acting chops and a joy to watch all 8 episodes in a row.

The chemistry of each character is great and casting is superb. I just hope season 2 on December 30, 2021 will introduce even more character developments.

We really liked it. Happy I understand and can read Chinese. My only beef with the show was whole scenes with people talking with their mouths full. I found that a bit disturbing.

I personally like the portrayal of emotions here, it's not common, I like the characters, you can see their flaws, their strengths too. I'm not familiar with taiwanese art or media but the actors are good especially the female leads. It's slow burn, take your time, you'll find emotions you'll relate to and not the pretty kind.
