Is It Really Worth It?
The Long Night follows a detective team in 2010 as they investigate a murder case that uncovers a much bigger cold case from the year 2000.
The drama presents three parallel timelines: the crime's origin in 2000, a determined group's attempt to reopen the case in 2003, and the present day (2010) when murder of one character from that earlier effort in 2003 happen. This non-linear structure peels back layers of the mystery one by one, keeping the suspense intense and make me hooked.
The core case is incredibly intriguing, and the storytelling builds curiosity perfectly. The script is solid, though some of the plot are unrealistic. Acting is top-notch all around, but it's a shame the woman detective gets so little screen time, her character could have been amazing with more development. Unfortunately, the finale feels rushed and wraps things up too quickly.
Overall, it's still worth to watch.
