Romeo and Juliet.. But The Tortured and Murderous Kind..

First things first, this is not an easy watch.. It’s honestly an unpleasant drama to get through.. A lot of what happens here hurts you, breaks you and makes you want to break into the screen and take matters into your own hands.. Had I Not Seen the Sun embodies what a drama exists for, not just to tell a story but to immerse the audience completely.. The drama doesn’t try to entertain.. It just deeply affects us, shaking, frightening, unsettling, disturbing and jolting us.. It makes you feel the weight of what’s happening, not as fiction but as something real and close and that emotional discomfort is what the drama uses so effectively.. Simply put, Had I Not Seen the Sun has the power to shake you up, terrify you and leave you in a bewildered daze by the time it ends..

The director doesn’t soften any harsh realities, violence, cruelty, moral decay.. The drama is honest and in some ways even nihilistic.. It reveals the ugly, disturbing aspects of its subject matter in a sharp, precise way..

There is a lot to talk about here, but I will try to keep it simple.. The whole story unravels in the best possible way, starting with a gripping first episode which is intriguing, sharp and setting up the psychological thriller vibe perfectly.. The drama has a lot of little details in the present timeline about Chou Pin Yu that you might miss if you are not paying close attention, the mirror, the bag, the phone in the first episode, for example.. All of it quietly hints that everything is not as it seems..

I liked how the story shifted between the present and the past and that transition from past to present in Episode 2 was just wow.. The screenplay is ambitious in its framework.. It’s not just a serial killer story, but a character driven tragedy with real psychological depth and a touch of tragic romance.. I also loved the moth-butterfly-sun metaphor, especially the way the drama shows Li Jen Yao as the moth drawn to Chiang Hsiao Tung, his sun.. And Chou Pin Yu’s hallucinations are equally intriguing, they almost give the drama a supernatural feel even though it’s all happening in her mind..

The cast was actually perfect.. Tseng Ching Hua was just outstanding, his expressions, his presence and that calm menace, it was all so eerie.. Moon Lee as Chiang Hsiao Tung was the emotional core of the story and she was painfully convincing.. Chiang Chi as Chou Pin Yu didn’t get a lot of screen time.. Her performance was intriguing enough that it actually made me even more excited to see what she will do in the next part..

The cinematography is beautiful, in the most absolute sense of the word.. It has some seriously good visuals and color tones.. And the framing, the symmetry, was well structured and looks great on screen... And credit to the OST too, the music played such a huge part in setting the vibe..

One small detail bothered me.. Someone that meticulous, someone who didn’t want the FL linked to his crimes in any way, somehow left that one photo lying around?? That should have been the first thing he destroyed, I wonder why he missed that..

Overall, Had I Not Seen the Sun is a seriously good drama that you just can’t overlook, with a cinematic level of screenplay and storytelling.. It’s not an easy watch in any sense.. But if a drama can pull such an overwhelming reaction out of you, then it’s doing something right, isn’t it?? I actually thought these 10 episodes might feel draggy somewhere in the middle because there’s a Part 2 coming.. But not at all.. It’s very well paced and not bloated in any way..

Part 2 is where all the revenge is.. Hope they don't hold back and go all in, brutal, bloody and unapologetic.. There are still so many unanswered questions.. What’s the real identity of Pin Yu?? I thought she was the FL but then who is the girl at the end?? Ko Chia Yen’s character?? If she is the FL, then having three different faces for the same person feels a bit too much.. But I do have a few other guesses.. Let’s see.. Either way I am excitedly waiting for Part 2 and hoping it ends on a harsh, bloody note.. And yeah, I don’t want to debate whether his actions were right or wrong, they were scum, rotten to the core, they had it coming, every last bit of it..

I am expecting a stripped down, bare bones, no nonsense, brutal revenge story for Part 2..

Because I hate the rain.

Had I Not Seen The Sun Part 1

I was halfway through episode 6 when I noticed that this is only part one of the story. Had I'd known the season was split, would I have waited for the other half? Probably not, as I added it to my watchlist just for the beautiful title and the fact that it starred Tsenf Ching Hua as a serial killer. They had me hooked right then and there, I was waiting eagerly checking that countdown days, hours, minutes. I know Netflix added that feature to tease impatient people like me.


The story of a man that chops up people into pieces shouldn't be this beautiful, but it is, it is so beautiful that I kept forgetting that he is a cold hearted murderer and when I did remember I wanted him to be innocent so badly!!

The cinematography is stunning, the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, the cast is amazing,the symbolism of the moths and butterflies and the delightful manner in which he explained to her how they're different.

A man who killed people in such a gruesome way shouldn't be this relatable, but he is; I couldn't help but fall for him and that's where the plot faltered, too much time was spent in that backstory making this cold blooded killer far too sympathetic, far too human so Be warned if you're thinking of watching this, I may emphasizing the beauty of it all but at it's core this is a horrifying story, it isn't romance, it's not all sunshine, rainbows and butterflies It's about a series of gruesome murders and the events that led this man to commit such heinous acts of violence are gruesome, awful, vile so hard to watch and they're not afraid of showing how bad it was.

I had gut feeling, that something else happened, there's something the plot is hinting at that made me form a theory that the preview of what's to come have sort of spoiled/confirmed.

December 11 come quick because I need to know!!!

This was Incredible. I'll Never Do It Again

Let not the rewatch value fool you, I will NEVER rewatch this. Once was simultaneously perfect, but also too much. I cannot handle sitting through this story a second time.

When I saw Netflix add this to the 'coming soon' line-up, I expeditiously added it to 'my list' simply because of Tseng Ching Hua. So far, I've seen him in 5 shows, and he hasn't once let me down with his incredible acting skills. The man is incredibly talented — and the fact that he's beautiful to look at doesn't hurt either.

Moon Lee is also another actor that I wanted to watch. Just coming from binging both seasons of 'The Victim's Game', I wanted to see more of her acting. Who knew that her character, Chiang Hsiao Tung, would rip my heart out the same way that Chiang Hsiao Meng did in the previous shows? Ok, why do her characters have such similar names?
PS. I also just realized that I've seen her before in the movie 'I Am the Secret in Your Heart'. But seeing that I chose to wipe that entire story from my brain —because what the hell was that ending?—, I should be excused for forgetting her.

As for the plot in it's entirity, it's hard for me to write a proper review.

All I know is that my heart felt heavy throughout the 10 episodes. As the other reviews say, this isn't an easy story to get through. I went in thinking that it was a simple run-of-the-mill serial killer plot, and 2 episodes in, I knew I had to pace myself. This wasn't a story I could sit and binge in one or two nights. It took me almost 2 weeks to complete this 1st instalment, as all I could handle in a go was one or two episodes.

I literally finished watching 2 animated movies, one anime, and 2 seasons of 'How to Train Your Dragon' in the time it took me to complete these 10 episodes. I needed some palate cleansers after them.

When my heart wasn't feeling like someone was ripping it out and tap dancing on it, I was angry. Save for Chiang Hsiao Tung and Li Jen Yao, I was angry at everyone. From Li Jen Yao's mother (there's a special place inhell for mothers like her) to his dad (he should've been burned at the stake, to the teachers, the corrupt cops, plus other law enforcers, some of their schoolmates, and the parents of those disgusting boys. Everyone made me angry.

No matter how many times Li Jen Yao tried to save himself from drowning in the mess that was his life, they found ways to keep him down. To push him further in and suffocate him. And then they did the same to Hsiao Meng, all because she fell inlove with someone they deemed less than. Trash that they could bully, play around with, and throw away. Honestly, episodes 8 and 9 hurt in ways that I cannot begin to describe.

All in all, this is an incredibly well-done story, albeit a hard one to get through. The topics highlighted are important, and in a way, I have a deep respect for the actors, screenwriters, directors, and everyone who worked on this story. They did not pull any punches, and my heart and soul are black and blue from it.

PS. Some scenes made me sit and wonder how the actors, especially the two main ones, got into and out of the headspace required to express those emotions. Yoh....🙆🏾‍♀️

Now, I'm off to part 2. A part of me feels like it'll be cathartic, the other part feels like they'll just hurt me more. I feel like they aren't done wringing my heart out just yet

"Had I not seen the sun, I could have borne the shade..." E Dickinson

Had I not Seen the Sun has been a difficult drama to rate and write a review for. Certain elements left me wanting and others I found completely engrossing. Also, given that we must wait until December for the second half to air, the drama ends on a cliffhanger meaning the story is not complete. I went out on a limb with my score hoping the writers bring everything to a satisfying ending.

Li Jen Yao turns himself in, confessing to several horrific murders. A small film company receives permission to do a documentary on him. Their goal is to discover the one thing the police were unable to ascertain…the motive for the grisly killings. Chou Pin Yu is the young film assistant. She’s moved into a haunted apartment and begins to be possessed by someone with a connection to Li. Pin Yu is given a ghostly guided tour of the lives of Li and the ballerina he loved.

The present time escapades did not work for me largely because the actress playing Pin Yu is extremely inexperienced and she lacked the ability to give any depth or nuance to a complex role. I rarely comment on acting abilities as it’s very subjective, but I nearly dropped this drama early on because I could not connect with her performance. When the drama largely moved to the past I fell into the story. The narrative may not have been original and was overtly melodramatic, but I don’t mind a little drama mama action. I’m tempted to say the writers were heavy-handed with their butterfly metaphors but can’t bring myself to criticize their uses of my namesake.

“Moths (at night) keep going in circles mistaking lights for the Moon…Butterflies only appear under the sun and go anywhere they want to.”

I’m curious to see how the writers will resolve the mysteries of which there appeared to be many. If nothing else, this drama was a strong motivation for cameras in classrooms and child advocacy programs and more.** With the exception of one girl’s family, there were no people deserving of children in their lives in this drama. Most of the teens involved lived in the darkness. They either basked in the sun hoping to learn how to walk in the light or attempted to drag the light into the darkness with them. We'll see if anyone sees the sun by story's end.

20 November 2025



Trigger warnings: SPOILERY






-a violent sexual assault, numerous beatings, and glimpses of disturbing murders.




**Spoiler comment below**












**** There is also a need for better protections for sexual assault victims with the police, schools, and more public education that girls/women who are raped are NOT sluts or responsible for the vile acts committed against them and they are not tainted goods. The protection of boys is not more important than the welfare of their victims and the victims deserve justice though it is too often denied. Li Jen Yao should have aimed lower.

I’ll Jump with You, Even Without the Sun

Had I Not Seen the Sun (Part 1) is not an easy watch, and it never pretends to be. It is raw, dark, and emotionally heavy, weaving together love, hope, trauma, and violence in a way that can feel almost too real at times. Consider this a gentle warning, because some moments are deeply triggering. But if you are willing to sit with discomfort, the story offers an immersive experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

The drama opens with a striking premise. Li Jen Yao turns himself in, calmly confessing to being the infamous Rainstorm Killer. He recounts his crimes in chilling detail, yet refuses to explain why he did them. He then agrees to an interview with journalist, Chou Pin Yu. Their initial encounter is unforgettable. A simple glance between them becomes charged with tension and curiosity, almost like time pauses just to let that moment breathe. Tseng Jing Hua brings a quiet magnetism to Jen Yao, balancing a smirky charm with something warmer underneath, while Chiang Chi’s wide-eyed, searching gaze makes Pin Yu instantly compelling. That first meeting alone was enough to keep me seated.

From there, the narrative begins to blur lines between reality and something more elusive. After meeting Jen Yao, Pin Yu starts experiencing vivid dreams and unsettling visions involving him and a mysterious schoolgirl. These sequences are eerie and intentionally disorienting. The lighting choices, often tinted in pinks and purples, feel a bit dated and occasionally take you out of the moment, but they still contribute to the overall sense of unease. Some of her visions, especially the more intimate ones, are strange to watch, yet they reinforce the central mystery. You are not always comfortable, but you are always curious.

As the story shifts further into the past, the emotional weight deepens. Jen Yao’s life is defined by chaos and pain. His father’s gambling addiction and violence cast a long shadow over his childhood, while his mother clings to false hope that things will change. You can feel his frustration, his helplessness, and the quiet desperation of wanting to escape a life that offers no light. And then Chiang Hsiao Tung enters, almost like sunlight breaking through a storm. Played with effortless charm by Moon Lee, she embodies warmth, innocence, and possibility. Her presence softens Jen Yao’s world, giving him something he has never truly had before.

The drama leans heavily on symbolism, particularly through the imagery of moths, butterflies, and the sun. Hsiao Tung, like a butterfly, represents freedom and lightness, moving through life with joy and curiosity. Jen Yao, like a moth, is driven by intense emotions, drawn to light even if it risks burning him. Between them is the sun, a symbol of hope and purpose, something bright enough to guide them both. It is a simple metaphor, but the drama uses it effectively to deepen their connection.

Their relationship unfolds with a tenderness that feels almost fragile. The closer they get, the more you start to worry about what might happen next. And that sense of dread is not misplaced. When Ouyang Ti enters the picture, the tone shifts sharply. His obsession and cruelty push Jen Yao into a corner, forcing him into situations that are difficult to watch. By this point, the drama becomes emotionally exhausting in the best and worst ways. It demands your attention, but it also tests your limits.

A brief escape to Taipei introduces a quieter chapter, where Jen Yao, Hsiao Tung, and Lai Yun Chen share moments that feel like a pause before everything falls apart. Yun Chen is a complicated presence. Her coldness toward Jen Yao can be frustrating, but it gradually reveals itself as a form of protection, rooted in her own pain and her love for Hsiao Tung. This arc feels almost peaceful, yet there is an underlying tension that makes it clear this calm will not last.

Episode 8 marks a turning point that is both beautiful and devastating. The intimacy between Jen Yao and Hsiao Tung is portrayed with such care that it makes what follows even harder to bear. When Hsiao Tung confronts Ouyang Ti in an attempt to help Jen Yao, her courage is heartbreaking because it is also naive. What happens next is brutal. Even within the limits of censorship, the drama does not hold back. The violence is depicted in a way that feels disturbingly real, leaving a lasting impact not just on the characters, but on the viewer as well.

What lingers even more are the quiet moments that follow. Jen Yao walking Hsiao Tung home, her refusal to blame him, and the minimal words exchanged between them carry an emotional weight that is hard to describe. It is in these small, restrained scenes that the drama truly shines. The aftermath is just as difficult, especially in how Hsiao Tung’s parents respond. Their reactions feel misguided and frustrating, adding another layer of pain to an already devastating situation.

Despite everything, the story finds moments of fragile comfort. One of the most striking comes when Hsiao Tung admits she once considered ending her life. Jen Yao’s response is simple yet profound. He does not try to stop her or offer empty reassurances. Instead, he tells her that if she jumps, he will jump with her. It is not a solution, but it is companionship in its most absolute form. In a drama filled with darkness, that line feels like a small, flickering light.

The ending of Part 1 is bittersweet in the most painful way. Jen Yao spends years in juvenile detention, missing a promise that meant everything. Yet Hsiao Tung keeps her side of it, leaving behind traces of a love that refuses to fade. It is a quiet, devastating conclusion that feels both complete and incomplete at the same time.

This drama took me a long time to finish, partly because I needed breaks to process what I was watching. It is not something you casually binge. It demands emotional investment and, at times, emotional endurance. Saying that I enjoyed it does not feel quite right. But I can say that it moved me, unsettled me, and stayed with me. If you are looking for something light, this is not it. But if you are drawn to stories that explore love and trauma with unflinching honesty, Had I Not Seen the Sun (Part 1) is an experience worth having.

I may have cussed out Ouyang's entire family tree

Fuck this. I just wrote a whole review only for my stupid self to delete it.

I'm just going to sum up what my long review was GOING to say.

-I cried a TON at the SA parts
When she was shoving her nail into the butterfly tattoo, I didn't really understand what it meant until it hit me that the butterfly would still have its wings but never be the same again. Even if the pain subsided, the damage would still remain.
What hurt me the most was probably how accurate the depiction of the assault was. When Hsiao Tung Chiang looked at the comments, everyone knew her family, background, friends, and so on. The idea that everyone knows what happened to you is just so frightening, and it would make everything ten times harder. It made me genuinely want to get in touch with those who had suffered from sexual assault, to truly help and understand their pain (if I even could). Additionally, watching that girl, who she came with, being forced to lie that her friend didn't call for help, really twisted me. It showed how those with power have so much control, and all you can really do in the end is absolutely nothing.

-BUT what was really the cherry on top was watching Jen Li Yao get beaten up by fucking gangsters while he knew his girlfriend (yes, she does fall into that category) was being sexually assaulted. It goes along with one big theme in this story, about how little we can do in the end. I have this speech, one that I wrote for speech and debate about firefighters, and at one point I say, "Have you ever been incapable of saving someone you loved?". I don't think I could find better words to describe how it looked like Jen Li Yao must have felt after seeing the person he cared about the most become an absolute shell of herself because he was unable to help her. I would like to think that if she hadn't gone with Ouyang, then maybe this whole event wouldn't have happened, yet in the end, I have to accept that it's a show, and I can't change anything.

- I would also like to take a moment to just appreciate how good the cinematography was (yes, I did have to look up this word). I didn't really take in how much the scenes make you feel like you're really there with them. It also helped that I was watching the show late at night, but the concept of rainy days did really fit the theme. Though Jen Li Yao and Hsiao Tung Chiang had sooo many moments that I was super jealous of. I really like the dark theme (physically and mentally), because it really added to the whole story. Also, THE CASTING? I mean, I would like to say that the casting for Jen Li Yao, Hsiao Tung Chiang, and Ouyang was amazing.

Jen Li Yao, played by Jing-Hua Tseng- he played the role so well, no one can convince me that someone could have done a better job than him. His face displayed every word he couldn't say, and his little-to-no-word demeanor fit him perfectly. He was definitely a main reason why some people started this show, and his acting was some of the best I've seen (just for this type of role, though)

Hsiao Tung Chiang, played by Moon Lee, I really like how every reaction she had conveyed so much emotion, the complete opposite of Jen Li Yao. She wasn't afraid to believe in what she wanted, and adding that dance aspect made everything just come together perfectly.

Ouyang, played by Chih-Tian Shih- this is honestly one I just thought of, but it fits so well. The way he was able to play a scared little kid in front of his parents and other adults, but was such a horrible and disgusting person, when they weren't around, absolutely shocked me. I had really good hopes for him in the beginning, but I have never felt this disgusted by a character. In the scene where his dad was beating him, I was like "maybe he's finally learning his mistakes and feeling like shit," but no, IT WAS ALL A MASK??? This dude through me off so hard. Great acting, so props to him.

There are honestly more characters I could rave about, but I'm going to cut it short. There is so much more I could talk about, but I just want to get this done with because it's 12:00 AM lol. It may seem like I'm overhyping this, and to some, I probably am, but I honestly fell in love with it. I'm usually a person who gets easily bored if the story isn't fast enough (warning, I did kind of skip through the first two episodes, BUT I wasn't watching them on a TV, which makes things better, in my opinion), but this show has a chokehold on me. I don't know when or how I realized this, but it somehow drew me in. I'm really excited for part 2 to come out, even if it's so far away. I will be finding out more about Jua Hua Tseng because he definitely pulled me in. Reminder to myself, hate the character, not the actor.

I think that's all lol. Don't mind the bad spelling, please

I think

I finished watching all the episodes in one sitting. The conclusion I had in mind at the beginning changed at the end. I just don't understand some people, I'm thinking a lot of things right now. It's just hard to see how someone's light can be extinguished because of some stupid people. oh it's really bothering me .
At the beginning of the movie, I really thought the main character was mentally ill, but not. He probably just wanted to get justice, even though there are a lot of things going on there that I don't know about, but I don't regret his decision at all, and the journalist girl, that girl is really mysterious, why exactly can you see her spirit from high school? Did they have to choose the journalist girl? I thought they looked similar at first, but I guess not. Or maybe she has a special ability or maybe they just connected by moving into the same apartment? But life is really hard,

A bit redundant for a back story

The story was interesting but by no mean an original idea, I kinda expected everything right from the beginning, it's like an open book, the thing that made me want to watch it is 1- I wanted to see the revenge part, 2- I didn't know where Chou Pin Yu fit in this whole story.

First, there was no revenge here, I believe they kept that for the second part, which is what I have to watch now to understand everything, and secondly, I still don't know how PinYu knows what she knows?? And what's her relation to all that!! Also the new character right at the end raises some questions which is smart in a way to make the audience watch the second season.

That's probably why I couldn't understand the high rating here, yeah sure the cinematography and the acting is phenomenal, but story-wise this lacks a lot, it's not even satisfying, it's literally the annoying and disturbing part of the story, now I don't care about romance or whatever, I just need to see blood being shed and people getting tortured then killed, and I'm going to enjoy every single second of it!!! And if I don't see that in the second part, I'll be very, very disappointed!

I hope the second part won't be as redundant and stretched as this one ~~

Heartbreaking and hanting story

The storyline is amazing—dark, emotional, and deeply compelling. And the acting? Absolutely phenomenal. Tseng Ching Hua did an incredible job. His eyes alone were filled with so much emotion; you could feel every ounce of pain, rage, and heartbreak without him saying a word.

The story is genuinely sad. Watching Jen Yao face one terrible thing after another was just heartbreaking. He never stood a chance. I loved how Hsiao Tung always believed in him and supported him, even when the world kept knocking them both down. Their connection was the only light in an otherwise crushing story.

What makes this drama even more unsettling is how real it feels. This kind of thing happens everywhere. The system rarely helps the victims, especially when money and power are involved. After seeing how everything unfolded—how they were failed again and again—I completely understood why Jen Yao did what he did. The law was never on their side. Revenge became the only option left.

I was hoping for some kind of happiness, but it was obvious we wouldn't get it. Not really. Part one was about the love that bloomed between the leads—fragile and beautiful—only to be destroyed by the terrible events that will lead to all the killing we'll see in Part two.

Now I wait. And I'll be rooting for him.

An amazing show! Must watch.

This has to be the very best film that I have ever seen. Everything was executed so well. From the acting to the music to the sets to the cinematography, it was pure art. I will be surprised if it doesn't sweep the awards shows this coming year.

I was intrigued from the very beginning when she first met with him in prison. Even starting with the intro, I could sense his lonliness and his deep sorrow and I began to feel for him.

I found myself completely pulled into their world and I empathized with all of the characters who had suffered. In fact, I cried my eyes out during the entire last episode.

Please do not let the synopsis throw you off. This is not some serial killer show. It's more about vengence and, above all, it is a love story. A beautiful love story of happiness, pain, and sacrifice. Definitely a MUST WATCH.

A Heartbreaking Battle Between Love and Fate

Had I Not Seen the Sun starts like a gripping mystery but slowly turns into one of the most heartbreaking love stories I’ve ever watched. The ending left me with so many questions — Who is she really? Did the heroine die and return in another body? What happened to Chou Pin Yu? Is the politician’s son still alive? Will the hero destroy the entire gang for her?
The drama keeps you guessing until the very last scene, but the emotions hit you like a storm.

Every actor delivered an amazing performance, and the cinematography is absolutely stunning — dark, raw, and poetic. This series is not just a thriller; it’s a painful, beautiful fight between love and destiny.

I’m desperately waiting for Part 2 because the twists left my heart in pieces.
If you love intense, emotional, mystery-packed dramas, this one is a must-watch.
