Light of Dawn (2025)

great but still lacking...

this drama has a great premise and strong start you just get drawn in and keep wanting to find the truth .

all actors did a solid job which made the whole drama great to watch, yet the plot was dragged in the middle and left alot of things weren't explained well or left to chance .

like Feng and feifei meeting for the first it didn't clarify it that much yet she called him bestie , like when did it happen , we got no solid background just some fast flashbacks, maybe the plot made them know each other just to make it more dramatic in the end .

wu guohao is a monster , the ultimate manipulator , the actor did a great job , couldn't keep myself from wanting to slap him , yet the ending was very unsatisfying after all the evil deeds he has done he got the easy way out, he deserved to suffer .

the thing that alot of people may hate about this drama is it slow storytelling and some nonsense at some points like how can you hide a very important confession letter in a old sneaker , I mean what he had thrown it away .

nonetheless this was truly great .

Secrets, Secrets, Secrets, Masterfully unearthed layer by layer

What a masterpiece! It will have you sitting at the edge of your seat with every reveal until the very end! Like an onion, the dark truth about what happened in the 1990s has layers upon layers, and just when you think you are getting to the core, there are several more layers hidden underneath.

The actors did a phenomenal job, especially the two main leads. I started this show for Ma Si Chun, who delivered yet another outstanding performance here. Every beat, every emotion, is always perfectly captured in her expressions, she fully embodies every character she plays, and Wu FeiFei is no exception. And Zhang Ruo Yun was excellent here as well. in the first few episodes, I did not understand why his character was so recklessly obsessed with uncovering the truth behind his birth mother, but by the end he delivered a performance that pieced together Gao Feng's character very nicely.

If you really like to be surprised and constantly caught off guard by how creative a screenwriter can get with their plot twists and big reveals, then this is the drama for you. Not a single character has the full picture (even the mastermind behind it all), and each episode you are encounter a new revelation alongside them.
