"Always make choices that are true to yourself, no matter when."

I had intended to write about this as soon as they announced the wrap-up of the series on May 7th, but I was deeply immersed in Tender Light and busy writing a review as the series neared the end of its release, so I didn’t have the time. Now that I’ve found a moment, I’ve translated and subtitled the Wrap-Up Special into English which you can watch below.

Review: A Heartfelt Masterpiece: 'Tender Light' Shines Bright

(SPOILER FREE)

Tender Light defies conventions as a bold and daring Chinese drama series that takes risks, potentially alienating some viewers—but undoubtedly rewarding those willing to invest time and effort to understand its narrative. This series demands a mature and dedicated audience, losing some fans of the starring actors who sought a more straightforward experience. However, for those who appreciate complex storytelling and innovative techniques, Tender Light shines as a rare gem. Despite some missteps in the final 15 minutes of Episode 28, the overall brilliance of this 28-episode series far outweighs its flaws. The 'tender light' it emanates may be subtle, but its impact is profound and lasting.

Tender Light aired it's final episode on CCTV8 on the 11th May after SVIP viewers on Youku watched an advance release one day before.  The conclusion of the Youku version was almost universally panned by fans and it's not hard to see why.
