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? YESI 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.

I hate the ending
I don't like the ending at all. The fact that they have to relive all of that for eternity just sucks. I can kinda see why the bullies could do that but why are the main characters forced to do it to if they did nothung wrong. It's not they fault that she got bullied in the first place and they didn't even know about it. Itcould have many other good endings but they chose this one. And let's be honest here. The parents are crazy for doing all of this in the first place. The plot isn't so bad but it's still missing something. Overall I give it a 7.Was this review helpful to you?

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.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 drama is sooooooo bad
Wow, it was so bad that I could not pass episode 6 and skipped to the last episode. The ending made me laugh...not in a good way. I am glad I did not force myself to watch the whole drama, as the storyline is so bad and the characters act so stupid.The concept was good, but the execution was terrible. Don't waste your time.

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?
