Night Has Come

Mafia, Rise Your Head

First of all, please go through the trigger warnings because they are not lying! This series contains a lot of violence and triggering self-harm activities...the minor warning probably so many curses going around (likely because they are high schoolers)

Told about the story of main character Yoonseo who went on school trip with his classmates to a retreat center only to find the time froze and they are forced to play a real-life-situation mafia game. To survive all of the classmates have to work together to solve the game and fight the host. However, it is not easy because they all have secrets behind their backs.

I love the series structure. Set in only 12 episodes and each one only have 30 minutes long duration really does it for me to binge. However, unfortunately it has made the ending seems rushed and as 'it is what it is.'

The strong point of this drama is how they make high schoolers as high schoolers, naive and also easy to drive which eventually amuses the host and we all get so GRRR COME ON at them. It is also later revealed that they do have more characters than the assigned outlook and have more personalities once we get through the episodes.

Yoonseo as the main character who reads a lot of mystery book is pictured as the smart one who is also very lucky and probably calmer than the others because she already has pictures about what was going on. Though it is later displayed that her personality reflects her skill, I wish it is shown more that she is not some kind of helpless girl. I am digging more backstories about her and Junhee that unfortunately is not shown in the drama. I like many characters like Nahee who even though seems meek but actually stands smart to her role as the police. Oh and don't get me started with Somi who is very ANNOYING and staying true to that until the end, haha. I think there are a lot of emotions and sentimental shown in the story and I get that we cannot get a lot of relationships shown because of the volume of the classmates.

However, upon the ending, my guess was a missed that it is Seeun a.k.a. Jungwon who programmed the game for revenge, it is her parents that makes this story I think goes to the offside story. I started to think the technicality at how such adults do that to kids and not to mentioned that they literally does crime back to them. Though I do understand the anger that no one has spoken up about the incident has truly angered them. The ending being them stucked again in loop with only Yoonseo remembered, I think it is a torture...though it seems like the perfect ending, I wish for different ending which somehow they all need to repent during the game, that the purpose is somehow to make them realized something they have done wrong rather than torturing them without the outcome they searched for. At this point, I think the parents just bullying the students back rather than finding the right closure.

Afterall, I rate this story 8 for its engaging delivery and makes me binged for a day! It is thrilling and cruel, I cannot watch it while eating snflksdfnksldf

Get Ready to Lose Sleep

So, I just finished binge-watching "Night Has Come" on Netflix, and oh boy, was it a wild ride! Seriously, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The plot twists? Insane. They kept throwing curveballs at me, and I couldn't get enough.

And don't even get me started on the ending! I won't spoil it, but let's just say I never saw it coming. It broke me in the best way possible.

Yeon Seo and Jun Hee? They nailed it. Yeon Seo brought this intensity to her character that just sucked me in and Jun Hee? What a sweetheart. Their chemistry was off the charts.

Plus, those kids in the show? They had me seriously impressed with their detective skills. I mean, I couldn't solve a mystery to save my life, but they were on another level.

After watching this, I don't think I'll ever be able to play Mafia without thinking about it. The whole thing was just so intricately designed, and even though it seemed a bit out there at first, everything made sense in the end.

And let's not forget about those school trip scenes. They've officially scarred me for life.

Bottom line: "Night Has Come" deserves all the awards. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves a good thriller. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Nothing new but enjoyable

Do I understand if someone rates this drama lower than me? Yes! Was it something new with amazing storylines and characters? No! Did I enjoy it anyway? YES

I was in a little kdrama slump... a bit bored by the kdramas I was watching recently and their genres. This came at the right time. It's short and I liked the airing schedule. The Idea of this drama is nothing new but still interesting and the potential to take the road of a psychological thriller mystery. But it did not. The characters are kinda stupid and some lack depth. The thing is... I still continued watching and was invested and had my own theories. Yes, you could call the ending bad. I was fine with it because I actually did not really care about how it ends. Honestly, this drama is perfect for switching your brain off and relax. I very much needed this, and this drama came at the right time.

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.

Its definitely super good if you don't hyper analyze it like most people (no shade...)

a few things I wanna say tho is;
Jung won being a mafia was probably the most predictable part of this drama since shes quite literally the FL's bsf and was so flat through out the show, though, through out the entirety of season 2-8ish I believed that Kyung Jo (that was (obviously) portrayed as a bully) was a mafia! i mean, the way he used to bully da beom so so much, I was so sure Kyung Jo and his two rats were absolute a holes, but after the last ep, I'm slightly more so think that da beom deserved it all since he's the one who made deep fakes of se-eun. Also, it made me realize why he was called a perv by Kyung Jo and his little gang.

The whole ghost thing
So, in ep 12, it was revealed that the whole mafia game was a simulation made by the parents of Se-eun, right? One thing that kind of confuzzled me was why the FL and ML were put under this? I'm sure the parents at least know the FL wasn't a problem or reason for Se-Eun's death (because of the present), so why was she put under the simulation as well? I also wonder why FL was the only one to see the ghost? Was it because she was her best friend or...?? Another thought, that dream at the beginning that was to foreshadow, was that supposed to be a part of FL's game since we know that the way Jung won was acting was apparently an "error", it makes me wonder HOW many errors were there? It's me thinking too deeply, I know, but it couldn't have been helped but to ask. The last episode surely left many unanswered questions.

random question
how the fuck did the parent even manage to drag an entire youth club to this simulation room.

Da Beom and the way he lived SOOOOOOO long (why???)
This is me talking of a pov of growing to hate his character after trying to defend him, but looking back, he deserved everything and was sooooo clearly mafia, but I was too oblivious until Kyung Jo's death. I feel like he would've been a more successful mafia if he were to use the fact that he was getting bullied shitless (unless the students knew he was the one to leak/make deepfakes(which it seemed they didn't know)). But instead, after getting a chance to kill his bully, he goes fucking psycho which made me tilt my head because I feel like its SOOO obvious that he was mafia.

WHY is Kyung Jo their fukcing lord
"everyone say who's mafia and ill choose who it is" HES ONLY SAYING THIS BECAUSE HE KNOW EVERYONE WILL END UP BELIEVING HIM AT THE END. and the irony of the one time they were like "yeah you MIGHT be bullshitting" IS THE ONE TIME HES RIGHT? When Woo Ram was said to be mafia, I literally had to laugh because, hell, even *I* was convinced he was a civilian
So Mis' character did its job.
From the start, I didn't like her. Her obsession with Jun Hee (ML) made me INSTANTLY know she was gonna be the mean girl. (Miss, why are you taking pictures of a sleeping boy?) OHHHH I just remembered the stupid birthday beating scene. The way she started fake crying after Jun Hee came made me PISSED. Jung Won and I were both side-eying her. I also hate when an MC is too nice. Whywhwywhywhyw Yoonseo are you so forgiving to this girl after she had two boys drown you and almost get freaking KILLED by a ghost. Though I will say she did what Da Beom should've done. PLAY THE FREAKING GAME CORRECTLY. she was actually a GREAT mafia, her gaslighting and acting was so good up until Kyung Jo's death. You can tell she was slowly losing touch with how to stay in the clear (after those two boys caught them with Kyung Jo's keys after his death ( hella sus.)). It's safe to say that if Na Hee (I LOVE NA HEE) weren't to take one for the team and reveal both that she was the police and So Mi was mafia, So Mi actually might have made it to the end.

Yoon seo (FL), you're a good person
Every time Kyung Jo was actually tweaking out, she tried her best to stop him. What a sweetheart :(.

Rip seeun, but your mom pmo
Maybe someone needs to prove me different, but holy SHART her mom's logic annoyed me. Yes, I understand your daughter was bullied to death, but taking a bunch of kids (innocent too,) and wasting their lives, putting them in a coma, and making them play a game over and over (WITH OUT REMEMBERING, SO THERES NO POINT BECAUSE THEY ARENT EVEN LEARNING THE STUPID LESSON) is doing wayyyy too much. Do I think only the culprit and the bullies should be experiencing this for an extended period of time? yes! Do I think Yoon seo (FL) and Jun Hee (ML) deserve to? FUCCCCKKKK no! they were the two that actually were her friends and Jun Hee actually TRIED to save her?? I'm not defending the bullies or the people who drove Se-eun to do this, but I feel like this punishment is unfair to at least Yoon seo and Jun hee.

ok I should be done until I realize a few things (also woo min is so fine)

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.
