Light the Night

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.

This new show is good with shocking moments and twists which actually hooks you up but you have to be as patient as you can but the acting is at it's peak slow burn but worth a try.

This would be a wonderful show to enjoy and taste slowly and carefully. The most ingenious part of this play is not the design of the suspenseful part, nor the arrangement of the case detection process, but the inner control and outer appearance of each character when they are in different situations. It is difficult to do this without screenwriters with excellent talent, directors with discerning eyes, and actors with superb acting skills. In addition, from the lighting to the soundtrack, from the costumes to the props, the excellent performance of the entire crew has jointly created the wonderful performance of the show. If there is a fly in the ointment, it is Ruby Lin's line level, which still needs to be improved; You-Ning Yang doesn't reluctantly pretend to be a cool and handsome guy, and it is quite interesting to play a black-bellied scheming man seriously.

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.

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.
