Emotionally Exhausting
Hey, so this is my first-ever review, and I'm putting it out there because I really think more folks should check out this drama. Hopefully, what I'm sharing is helpful, and it convinces you to give it a shot.
I'll mostly talk about Bai Yu's character, Jiang Yang.
Okay, this drama hit me hard. The story, camera work, and the acting were seriously good. The storyline was heart-wrenching, yet in a profoundly moving manner. It showed how there are very few people committed to upholding the law. In the end, justice prevailed, albeit at an immense cost.
Bai Yu's performance really touched me, especially in that wallet scene. This drama truly immersed me in all the highs and lows that Jiang Yang's character experienced. I'll be honest; I had a cathartic emotional release around episode 10. While everyone is vociferously proclaiming "HOU GUI PING WAS WRONGED," there's a deafening silence on the injustice suffered by Jiang Yang, and that's truly heart-wrenching. He sacrificed everything, even his life, for the sake of justice. Thankfully, Jiang had Zhu and Chen by his side during the most challenging moments when everything was unraveling, both literally and metaphorically.
In conclusion, I highly recommend watching it. "The Long Night" is a hidden gem; it was so captivating that I ended up binge-watching the entire series in a single day.
