La luz de la noche

The actors are very professional and the story is certainly attractive. I usually prefer scifi genres but this story certainly got my attention.

What I really point out is that the cast is very unique for an Asian Drama. Popular Chinese and Korean dramas usually prefer young(18-25) girls, pale-skinned, thin, actresses full of plastic surgery. Light the Night chose middle aged ladies, some with plastic surgery, but not all of them. And not all in the usually body type, the character Aiko is even a bit chubby and has a typical southern China skin-tone. There is an old lady playing in that night-club. They are certainly very mature in the acting and have a lot of experience and in fact it wouldn't play well with younger actress.

One tiny problem I'd point out is the confusing chronology. I don't know if it's netflix messing up or what, but show doesn't really explain in which point in time they are before the incident, which makes me confused about when the story is at the moment. But, it is not a big deal and won't make your experience bad because of it.

I strongly recommend it and I also suggest to ignore very low ratings of this show, as it is usually a bunch of Mainlanders complaining because the show is taiwanese. I'm looking forward for season 2.

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.

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.

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.

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.
