intriguing plot
i remember this show kept me on my toes early on because of the mysterious vibes it gave off. the acting was pretty good.i really liked how it kept it's mysterious facade almost all the way through. the way everybody's stories kept changing and the fact that nobody was truly reliable.
there were a few parts that i felt was left kind of unanswered and also the finale didn't satisfy me all that much. other than all of this if you're in the mood to watch something that keeps unraveling as it goes it is definitely a recommend

One of the best C-drama I've ever saw
I started watching Tender Light thinking it would be just another C-drama that I’d get into at first, only to drop it halfway through due to the writers’ lack of creativity. That’s usually what happens to me with C-dramas. But I found myself loving every single episode. I already love actor Xing Cheng and his unique talent, but I hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing Tong Yao’s work before. She is simply phenomenal. I was impressed in every scene she was in. She completely commands the screen, steals the show, and makes us root for her character every second of the series.She brings a unique duality to a character who already has her ups and downs. We question some of her actions, but she’s so deeply immersed in a life full of overwhelming circumstances that were just thrown at her. She’s surrounded by awful people who don’t even see her as a human being.
Then Xing Cheng’s character comes into her life, and he seems to be the only person in the world who genuinely cares about her. At first, she sees him as a friend, but for him, it’s always been love. Not some wild, impulsive kind of love—but a true, devoted one that makes us love watching it unfold. Because Tong Yao’s character truly deserves that kind of love in her life.
But in the middle of all this, there’s the murder of her husband. She confesses to killing him, and her life starts falling apart. That’s how the series begins.

Stellar acting for a stupid storyline
First of all the acting in this drama and the music are awesome. Even the side characters always delivered a perfect performance.The story on the other hand is pretty bad and the way the story is being told is very one sided.
The directing is sometimes very weird with very strange camera angles.
The time skips are pretty annoying and sometimes its hard to tell when a time skip happened.
The story in itself is pretty disgusting. And there is not a single character to root for.
ML has gotten barely any screentime.
FL is a mysterious person. She has been through a lot and has been a victim to a lot of crimes. A lot of people have been arguing that whatever she does its justified. I disagree but make a picture for yourself.
Overall the show tales too much time to give any useful information so people can paint a bigger picture. After 14 eps the drama is very draggy and boring.
