Light the Night

One of the best suspense thrillers I have watched with slow-built mystery, strong acting and dialogues. A multitude of feelings have been explored and portrayed well. Some people may find it slow but believe this will be a delight for those who love slow paced thrillers or suspense. Waiting for the third season to be released.

It is probably the most powerful casts I have ever seen in a Taiwan drama. The casts are most talented and be part of a leading role in many drama or movie in Taiwan. Even eating a meal in restaurant can see full of emotion and deep deep acting. The story just like a recent drama white lotus but doesn't matter like or not, just a crime theme but I really addicted to the acting. The background in 80s is a big bonus for those live and grow up in that time and city. Don't surprise lots of awards will go this drama, no doubt Ruby Lin another peak in her acting career, really have progress compare her "16 summer" and the improvement is huge. For whom like watch acting, please watch this.

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.

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.
