Reviews
Every event has a center. Beyond it, ripples spread.
When I first saw the trailer, it immediately caught my attention, but the drama turned out to be very different from what I had expected — in the best possible way.One thing I absolutely did not expect was for this drama to become such a tear-jerker. While the first 9 episodes contain many natural and genuinely funny moments, starting from episode 10 — and especially during the last 5 episodes — I cried my eyes out 😭
This is a 100% worth-watching investigation drama and definitely one of Wang Hedi’s best performances so far. His portrayal of Ran Fangxu was unforgettable.
The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a father and daughter at the elevator entrance of the Yuanlongli building in July 1997. The case deeply affects the lives of detectives He Yuanhang and Ran Fangxu, and it takes 18 years for the truth to finally come to light.
The drama switches between three timelines:
• 1997 — when the father and daughter disappeared
• 2002 — when the father’s skull was discovered
• 2015 — when the case was finally solved
The transitions between the timelines were done brilliantly and never felt confusing.
Even though the drama focuses on only one case, the plot is incredibly complex, filled with twists and turns that constantly keep you on the edge of your seat — and in the end, everything ties together perfectly.
I especially loved the 师父–徒弟 relationship development between He Yuanhang and Ran Fangxu. They truly became each other’s family. The actress Ren Min, who played Xiao He (He Yuanhang's daughter), even mentioned in an interview that for Xiao He, Ran Fangxu was like a mother 😂
After episode 10, seeing how much Ran Fangxu meant to both He Yuanhang and Xiao He was absolutely heartbreaking 😭
The drama also did an amazing job portraying grief, guilt, obsession, and the way one unresolved tragedy can leave deep scars on people’s entire lives.

hHard to let go
The acting performances are over the top, especially Dylan Wang as RanFangXu... absolutely brilliant, playing 3 life stages of the character.. rookie police officer Xiao Ran, captain Ran and uncle Ran...LightToTheNight is a realistic drama ... miracles don't happen in real life, so in this drama... no matter how much we hope for a happy ending, to keep it real, that miracle won't happen...
Dylan Wang's LightToTheNight is a must see drama ... and then, you will want to rewatch it!!!
