Light of Dawn

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 .

Strong start messy middle infuriating ending

This is one of the rare dramas that triggered me to even write a review. A scam that made me so invested at first and left me angry. I had such high expectations up to episode 9. and then it just crashed and burned and the ride was so wild. The plot holes were everywhere. logic went out the window, and “evidence” kept magically appearing out of nowhere. And the final twist was downright disgusting.
The only parts worth praising are Gao Feng and his adoptive parents’ complicated relationship and sisterhood between Qu Meng and Hong Yue.I really like these parts and I am genuinely so angry that it was ruined by the nonsense “suspense” and disgusting plot twists that make me never want to rewatch this drama.
Director has some obsession with this one song he made the ML’s mom sing over and over again. It was a nice listen at first but it got really annoying and cringe after hearing it the nth time in one episode.
Honestly, the real mystery is why so many big name actors signed on to this script and still acted their hearts out. I even felt sorry for actor who played Wu Gaohao who worked so hard at his old age to make such a rubbish character alive in this rubbish script
