Light the Night (2021– )
8/10
Brilliant Story and Actors
13 December 2021
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.
