“Love Has Light” is not your typical romantic comedy. It delves into various issues, making it not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. The show features a stellar cast, including the fresh faces of Lin Zhexi and Wu Jianhe, whose on-screen chemistry as a “Comrade CP” has been particularly praised for its cuteness and relatability. Their portrayal of a genius gentleman and a Taiwanese 8+9 (a term used in Taiwan to describe someone who is rebellious or a troublemaker) coming together has been a highlight, showcasing their powerful acting skills.
The series also stars the up-and-coming actress Zhan Zixuan, who has been lauded for her natural acting and infectious smile. Her character’s quirky and lively personality, along with her complex relationship dynamics with Ke Zhendong’s character, has sparked much discussion among viewers. Their storyline of being close friends who insist on “making love but not falling in love” has struck a chord with many.

It breaks the silence on topics often considered taboo in Taiwanese culture, bringing them to the forefront in a light-hearted yet meaningful way.
The series has been praised for its avant-garde approach, blending humor with heartfelt moments that many find relatable. Scenes filled with emotion and passion have moved viewers to tears, while the show’s exploration of love, in its many forms, has warmed hearts. The portrayal of characters dealing with their personal struggles and vulnerabilities has added depth to the narrative, making “Love Has Light” more than just a comedy.
