Reviews
The Shining One received a mixed critical reception from both audiences and professional reviewers. On IMDb, it holds a moderate rating of around 6.8/10, where viewers praised the heartfelt performances of Ma Dong and the chemistry among the cast but noted that the pacing occasionally felt uneven. Critics from Asian entertainment outlets appreciated the strong emotional core and realistic portrayal of young adults' struggles; for instance, a review in The Straits Times highlighted that "the series connects well with today's youth through its authentic dialogues and relatable situations." However, some critics pointed out that the show occasionally relies on familiar tropes, which might make the plot predictable for seasoned viewers: Metacritic summarized it as "a comforting yet somewhat conventional saga that resonates mostly through its sincere performances." Rotten Tomatoes does not have a rating for this series, reflecting its limited availability in Western markets. Overall, "The Shining One" is praised for its warmth and character-driven narrative but may not break new ground in the genre.
