Bad director who ruined this drama with good acting from Zheng Xin Cheng.
Tender Light is a melodrama about the infatuation of a young boy who falls in love with a domestically abused older woman. The young man even admits to a crime he did not commit to save the woman. I did not like drama at all, even though I liked Zhang Xin Cheng a lot. He is a talented actor, but for some reason, he is not as popular as other Cdrama actors.
The scripts and roles he played undervalue his talents, and I am annoyed by the director of this drama.
Synopsis: Zhou Luo, a straight-A student, is the first one from Qingshui Town to enter a prestigious university. However, he returns to his hometown before completing his degree and goes to a cram school to repeat a year of school. His decision causes quite a stir in this small town. Had he not faced criticism, he would never have noticed another talk of the city, Nan Ya. Nan Ya is a very beautiful clothing store owner, and there are always a lot of rumors about her. She travels between the clothing store and home daily, caring for her sick daughter, Wan Wan. As Zhou Luo becomes more acquainted with Nan Ya, he realizes that Nan Ya's marriage is not happy, and her husband, Xu Yi, a businessman, has a brutal side at home. Zhou Luo has witnessed how Nan Ya was assaulted by Xu Yi. Besides, the "Bridge Case" sheds light on several issues regarding Xu Yi's business operations. All this causes Nan Ya's marriage to be in jeopardy.
My Reviews:
1. Too many flashbacks from different viewpoints about the murder from all the supporting casts that were interviewed by the police.
2. The director did a bad job retelling the story, which needed clarification. Still, as the story unfolded, I got more annoyed and frustrated.
3. I watched on high speed and FF because there were too many repetitive scenes that had no new angles as they tried to review who had murdered her abusive husband.
4. It was also too long; it would have been a better story with 12-16 episodes.
I give it a 4.5 rating because the director did a lousy job directing and editing this drama. The only kudos for this drama are the acting talents of Zhang Xin Cheng.
