Não crie expectativas
* Não vou entrar no tópico atuação pela maioria dos atores serem novos, então claramente a atuação deles não se compara com a atuação de um ator/atriz de elite.A história é interessante no começo. Porém, do meio pro fim se torna cansativa. Os protagonistas principais são bons, msm pecando ao entrar no clichê de bonzinhos imaculados. Temos personagens (horrivelmente) interessantes como a So Mi e os bullys. O final, é PÉSSIMO. Completamente horrível a ideia de "tudo era um jogo criado pelos pais da garota", isso foi mal trabalhado, mal executado e completamente insano. Qualquer explicação seria muito, muito mais interessante. Poderiam ter usado a ideia de que aquilo era purgatório real, pq pouparia os furos de roteiro que englobam o paradeiro dos adolescentes. Todos eles tem responsáveis, e onde estavam esses responsáveis? Duvido que eles concordariam em ver seus filhos torturados pra vingar uma garota qualquer. Onde estava a polícia, se de acordo com a mãe de Eun Seun, os adolescentes viveram aquilo dezenas de vezes? A ideia de que na verdade eles apenas viviam aquilo repetidamente sem estarem vivos nos pouparia dessa pergunta. De qualquer forma, é um drama que entretém o espectador e que deve ser visto sem criar uma expectativa muito alta em cima.

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Night Has Come '' is a death game with a class of high school students as participants.The drama starts off quite strongly, with the story being gripping and intriguing enough to spark the interest and to have the viewer look for who is behind everything and to figure out what is going on. The use of the mafia game was interesting as well. The bloodshed, though plenty, wasn't just there for show, moreover, but used nicely in the plot. Also, some characters were quite fascinating to follow.
However, the ending was what ruined this drama. First of all, it raised more questions than answers. Also, it was unsatisfying, leaving things unsolved, probably, but unlikely, hinting at a second season. Finally, nothing was explained about that final plot twist, as to how the masterminds behind the game managed to do as they did.
At least, the performances were strong by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

It was amazing mess up ?
Even though there were so many things that didn't make sense at all and writters probably forgot what was the point of all this. I enjoyed it. It was a pretty quick ride with many questions along that will never answer and most likely don't have answers. All the absurdities aside there was actually something about this concept that i find fascinating. Our brain pick ups all the things that doesn't make sense here and still believes. We get no reason for the personal attachment to the main leads and we still cheer for them. I don't know if the production team made an amazing job or if they mess it up definitely not something in middle. The progression of this drama is fascinating. You go from the 3 bullies are the worst to actually the guy with victim syndrome is even worst to every kid out there is sinner to parents are the worst evil out there.Was this review helpful to you?

Saw the vision
I thought the plot was GREAT...at the beginning. The ending was not it, which is disappointing because this series had lots of potential!! The deaths were so interesting, and wanting to know who the mafia was kept me curious. Acting was overall good, I think some actors were missing bits and pieces thst could've been portrayed better. Gyeong-jun was my favorite character though, so he's the reason my rating is the highest it can be! They can thank him for his acting cause it's what kept me watching.Was this review helpful to you?

The ending ruined everything
I really really loved the concept and the story along the way, ofc there were alot of questions in mind like. "Is the hotel haunted" or "Who is initiating the whole thing". Well, I expected them to be answered along with the show. When it comes near the end, they finally were connecting the dots, which got be excitied and shi. But then the ending is just really childish and for me, it ruined everything. But aside from that huge flaw, the villians, the characters, the acting and the plot twists were amazing. Could have been a 9 if the last plot twist wasn't bad.Was this review helpful to you?

Not so bad
Maybe because I watched without much expectations, the drama turned out better than I thought. It has enough suspensions and the some actors portrayed their characters really well. Choi Ye Bin acting was a little disappointing in this drama, I felt like she was a little stiff. But in contrast, Lee Jae In acting really good. This is my first time watching her as a main lead, and I think she did really well with carrying her character. Especially love the scene of her confronting Jeongwon (Yebin).Was this review helpful to you?

Wolves disguised as Sheeps.
This story is pure fiction, thriller and horror. It turns out that during a school retreat, the students of a class find themselves alone and locked in the Mafia Game. There are the Citizens who must find the Mafias, and they are helped by the Police and Doctor, while the Mafias must kill all the citizens. Every day, the Citizens must vote for a person they believe to be one of the Mafias, and they must then hide during the night because they are immobilized in a sleep while the Mafias hunt to kill them. It's a cruel and bloody game of cat and mouse that gives rise to desperate and even psychopathic characters.The series really took the storytelling from a fairly human and brutal angle. We end up with teenagers who kill each other and betray each other between friends, who do unspeakable acts to each other, and the worst is that we can sense desperation and that they hate the fact that they have to do this to survive.
The key word is not to stand out to draw suspicion, and until the last episode there were revelations about characters that we didn't suspect.
The only downside is the ending, although I was expecting a sort of simulation, and that it spoils the story a bit as unrealistic, it teases a second season that I hope will see the light of day. Otherwise, even with this kind of ending, the series is very much enjoyable for its thrilling and suspenseful moments.

Night Has Come: A Must-Watch K-Drama Mystery
Night Has Come is a fantastic K-drama mystery that kept me hooked from start to finish. It blends elements reminiscent of Alice in Borderland, with hints of Maze Runner and a touch of Among Us but with a unique K-drama flair. The suspense builds perfectly across all 12 episodes, making it an ideal binge-watch on Viki. The shocking twist at the end was unexpected, and the acting was impressive—everyone delivered outstanding performances. Plus, the graphic violence was intense and well-executed, adding to the thrill. Overall, it's absolutely worth watching!Was this review helpful to you?
A Game of Cat and Mouse At a High School Retreat
A class of high school students trapped at a youth center during their class retreat. No teachers. No internet. No contact with the outside world. Then all of a sudden the sound of a school bell and an announcement comes over the loudspeaker: 'The mafia game will begin shortly'.The students' phones are abuzz with notifications as The Mafia Game app installs itself. They each begin to check their identities:
Numerous Civilians
1 Police Officer
1 Doctor
The Number of Mafia??? Unknown.
At first, it's played off as a joke and the class collectively votes out one person. But as midnight comes the bell sounds and another announcement is made saying that the student has been unanimously executed. The student starts groaning and holding his head as if he's in pain before he brutally throwing himself out of the window. What began as a seemingly harmless deduction game quickly turns into a race of survival and a desperate attempt to stay alive.
What follows is a mysterious game of death and deception as fellow classmates begin to die one by one. An epic battle of wits, cruel mind games, and supernatural phenomena show the psychological struggles during extreme situations and complex relationships of the students. Not to mention just how easy emotions can impact one another at crucial moments and the cruel reality of today's society.
Throughout the chaos and pandemonium, the citizens must vote out the mafia in order to live, while the mafia go on a rampage murdering anyone to survive. During the game, many unexplainable things start happening. Is there some supernatural force at play or is the class not really alone?
Lee Yoon Seo - With her keen observation skills and reasoning is determined to find out the mafias and the truth behind the game.
Kim Jun Hee - Tries to balance a sense of justice and responsibility as the Class President, but breaks down at his classmates' deaths.
Oh Jung Won - A tech genius who seems to follow the majority, but her eyes hold a dark secret.
Go Kyung Jun - A bully who believes he's at the head of an autocracy/dictatorship and instills fear in anyone who goes against him.
Jin Da Beom - A seemingly quiet kid who endures bullying but a hidden anger resides in him.
Kim So Mi - The quick-witted and manipulative Class Vice President who will do anything to avoid suspicion.
This drama was thrilling to watch. Not only does it keep you guessing, but you're constantly on the edge of your seat wanting to watch more. At times you'll be intrigued and other times you'll be frustrated with how the students play the game. Their acting will play mind games with you, will make you yell in frustration and other times it will touch your heart just how much some people care about others. There were several plot twists and the odd plot hole, but overall a very fascinating watch and an invigorating experience.

Good plotline, catastrophic execution.
Night has come despite its captivating narrative, ultimately falls short due to subpar execution and lackluster acting, leaving me as watcher with mixed feelings.The show kicks off with a promising start, weaving a very different concept full of suspens and mystery which kept me at the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, the downfall lies in the execution of this kdrama.
One glaring issue is the TERRIBLE ACTING of the female lead, the most glaring flaw is the repetitive and wooden acting displayed by the actress. While the character is diverse and have the potential for depth, the actress seems trapped in a cycle of limited expressions and monotony. It's disheartening to witness pivotal scenes undermined by a lack of emotional range, as character struggles . Furthermore, as the show came to it's end the anticipation surrounding the ending transforms into disappointement, as the series concludes with a unnecessery plot-twist which left me confused and with too many questions. As for the unresolved plotholes formed through the execution that's another thing to discuss!
Despite these critical flaws, Night has come manages to maintain a curious hold on me. The allure of the overarching mystery keeps me invested, despite the show's evident shortcomings.

Started goo but ending ruins the whole show for me
The episodes should've been an hour long, having them range from 30-45 minutes hurt the show. If they made the episodes longer they would have had time to show how Se Eun was being bullied, by who, and for how long she was being socially isolated from everyone. Showing how each character was hurting her(intentionally or not) would've made the parent's motivation make a little more sense, i.e. a character did't actively bully her but didn't talk to her and maybe ignored her to save themselves from also being bullied.That being said from what i understand there was only ONE bullying episode and i understand it was bad but to me it wasn't believable that she killed herself over that one thing, it would've made more sense if there were multiple things happening and that was the tipping point, maybe even her best friend stopped being friends with her. It also seemed like she killed herself right after she found out which again didn't make it believable, if after that incident a month passed and nothing got better and her best friend wasn't talking to her then it would make sense.
There are a lot of unanswered questions as well involving character backstories( the swimming pool PTSD for one thing) which were never touched on and the "ghost" concept which seemed to have been forgotten(sadly, because i really liked it). There is going to be a second season so maybe they'll explain even in passing but I don't know.
The very last thing at the end why are the mafia allowed to kill more than one person? if that was the case why didn't one of the characters try and kill everyone to end the game? and why put the representation of your dead daughter with everyone? why not leave her out?
