It has been quite some time since I watched any series out of Taiwan and I am not too sure why I chose this one, if I am being honest. But the first episode did its job nicely as I was intrigued almost from the very start. The way the story developed was unusual as it left you guessing for quite a while as to who was the actual victim. As things progressed, through many flashbacks, viewers got to know the characters in more depth.

High quality script writing is certainly apparent as is the acting quality. I loved Ruby Lin's performance, so solid and the perfect choice for an elegant mamasan. Cheryl Yang was superb in her portrayal of Rose's best friend, Mrs Sue.

If you are searching for something that's a quality whodunnit, Light The Night would be a very good choice.

My first impressions of this show were positive but as time and the episodes wore on, the positivity began to wear off. I mean, there is a lot to like about a show set in Kabukicho. It is a famous nightlife spot in Tokyo and the plot of a small and quite insignificant hospital treating an assortment of accident victims, attempted suicides and the like is unique.

The main question I'd love to be answered is why on earth do the characters try to speak so much English? I know that the main character is supposed to be American/Japanese but her English pronunciation (and everyone else's in the show) is absolutely appalling. An instant improvement would have been if they had just spoken Japanese. Maybe someone out there can suggest a reason why such bad English would be okay to publish.

Anyway, the stories are fine, the acting a little over the top at times but overall it's a fun watch. Just try to tune out when their English starts!
