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.

it’s worth watching it but you will regret it cause of the last episode
it was a ten but the ending was so horrible like the writers were bored to write the last episode literally wasted potential.I wanted something smarter for the last episode this was literally so fake like horrible unrealistic like give us something even if it was to be a sad ending but not a horrible last episode plot the only way I would justify the end is if a second season existed but not with them living it again like something other like her and some others escaping it and going against them or just like trying to hide from the girls parents ? something other . the acting was very good and the plot it had some things inside that I didnt like the cast good but such a wasted potential like if the ending was like smart different it would deserve to get hype like squid gameWas this review helpful to you?
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?

I litteraly watched it all in a day
so for me the big reveal at the end wasn’t why I enjoyed it. I loved every small plot twist during the game and honestly if the mafia are always randomly decided and it’s a different game each time I would LOVE to have 50 seasons of it. The concept is amazing I would love to see how each game went on depending on everyone’s assigned roles. I think this season turn out to be just one out of many “alternative ending” possible. and as much as I would love a season two with our main character aware of the game and breaking them all free out of it I would also just love to see more seasons of the other games they played.Was this review helpful to you?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Ok let's start Honestly at the beginning of this drama I really like it and when thgame started there were some people I wanted dead but let's be real number 1: Honestly the Mafias could have won this long ago and it was very dragged on number 2: I was sick of Jun-hee's righteous/sorry boy act like I get that he was traumatized or something but you don't have to act like your world revolves around that number 3: that Kyung-jun bastard I mean everyone was trying to survive why did you have to go and kill almost all of them honestly I love these Kdramas but anytume I see any bullying tbing it gets really fucking frustrating and Lastly, Se-eun's mother is a huge bitch hiw could she trap children under the pretext of getting fucking revenge I mean yes her daughter died but not everyone was involved in it why would she do that to Innocent CHILDREN for Christ's sake I love Jung won and in short this drama was a very good one and the writers did a very good job but I hated the ending it was so stupid and I wish there's a season 2 but I doubt soWas this review helpful to you?

The ending…
This show was really good it kept you on your toes and had unexpected surprises. But there were things that were mentioned that felt like it just became irrelevant after like junhee’s swimming fear. And once kyungjun died the show felt more plain and kinda dry. Then they ending was very unsatisfying because it felt rushed and the parents whole reasons was honestly kinda stupid because what does the whole class have to do with your daughter’s death then saying yoonseo just watched her die (she clearly didn’t) it didn’t really add up. Personally the only way I can be somewhat satisfied with this ending if there was a S2 or more episodes where they actually get free. But it’s still worth the watch because the cast did a flawless job.Was this review helpful to you?
