Night Has Come: a thrilling mystery
Night Has Come has a brilliant cast and unique storyline. The beginning was off to a great start and sets up the entire story to a high standard. The first half of the show was intense and enticing, it pulls you in, and leaves you in suspense, wanting to watch more. The second half of the show is equally disappointing. The story was eccentric but the execution was subpar. There were a lot of plot holes and storylines that led no where.To start off, I really liked the location chosen and how they set up the surroundings. the initial building was thrilling, even scary to a point. The lighting , alarm and music really set the tone, I especially loved the music they used for midnight when the citizens slept. Yet, with each episode the story starts going downhill. The behavior of the characters weren't consistent either. I also don't like how they gave both Jun Hee and Yoon Seo holier-than-thou personalities. It basically chipped away at their personality. The ratio between citizens and mafia was quite high, yet the mafia team played them like a fiddle.
At one point, I was hoping for the mafia to win, because it seemed like they were the only ones using their brains in the game.
I also didn't like how the citizens were portrayed as innocent and the mafia as the criminals when both parties were choosing to kill someone, both of them didn't have a choice, it was either kill or be killed.
I also wondered about the whole supernatural sub plot going on, even though it led to nowhere.
The ending was the biggest let down, with it being left open ended and with a lot of questions being left unanswered.
• How did they kidnap all the students? where did all this high tech equipment come from? If her parents were so good at tech why didn't they delete Se Eun's video or tracked it down to who recorded it and report it to the police? Why torture all the innocent students?
• If Jung Won is just a code, how did she gain her own consciousness? why did she only help Jun Hee and Yoon Seo and not the others?
• What was the point of leading the boundary up to the hill? just to set the tone? but there was no significant or logical reason to do so.
• why introduce the storyline of the ghost and then drop it mid way?
• Who took Yoon Seo to the parallel world when she fell through the floor? if it was Jung Won, how did she do it and why? If it was the parents, why would they do that?
• Who were the other students from different schools they showed in the journal Yoon Seo found? was it just for show?
• How long will this thing actually last? At one point the parents will start looking for their kids and get the police involved, won't they get caught eventually?
• is it even revenge if the students memory just get wiped out and they restart again and again?
I was so interested in why Se Eun was dead and whether it was actually some murder behind the scenes but the story revealed was also mediocre at best. The video looked so obviously photoshopped, who in this day and age in high school can't tell fake videos apart.
The saving grace of the show was the acting of the cast, special mention to the actors of Jin Da Beom and Go Kyung Jun.

masterpiece.
I binged this kdrama and it was so worth it. there were no boring episodes and they chose the perfect people for each role. many people have been dissatisfied with the ending, but personally, I actually liked the ending. It wasn‘t something I expected, but it isn‘t that bad like people say it is. I definitely want a season 2 and it has also been revealed that season 2 will be coming which I‘m very happy about because many things haven‘t been explained well and some things are still left open. imo best kdrama of 2023, I could literally rewatch it every day. love it so muchVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Had potential
This drama caught my eye in beginning the storyline line was really good and had potential on being a big hit.My theory was that one of the kid that got bullied set the game up to punish the bullies and it was just to scare them.
I didn’t get the point of killing the innocent people that did noting but I got the moms reasoning too, no one in her classes tried
To help nor stop the bullying.
The two bullies Kim So Mi and Go Kyung Jun lived on for too long for my liking I literally wanted to punch the mafia bully in the face everytime she came on screen. Her gaslighting everyone and them not thinking for themselves was soo annoying. I don’t know what it is with korean student in dramas they always have attitude and leave and bitter taste in my mouth.
What a disappointing ending omg it does leave room for theories but I don’t think there would be a season 2 unless they play the game again but that would make sense because Lee yoon seo knows about everything and it has bad ratings.
But over all I would’ve gave it a higher rating his the last 2 episodes didn’t go the way that it did I’m disappointed.

Spoilers leves para uma contextualização da sinopse do drama.
Night Has Come é mais um drama escolar que aborda algo que descrevo como "violência de revanche contra agressores que fazem bullying". Tema aliás bem recorrente nos dramas coreanos nos últimos tempos, aliado a outro tema que se tornou bem popular com alguns dramas famosos: "jogos de sobrevivência".No começo pode parecer que o tema principal do drama é apenas o jogo de sobrevivência. Um grupo de adolescentes saindo em uma viagem de excursão acabam preços numa área designada de onde não podem escapar sob o risco de serem mortos das formas mais cruéis e são obrigados a jogar "máfia". O resultado: mortes bem violentas e adolescentes mostrando seu lado mais cruel quando colocados diante de situações extremas. Conforme o jogo vai avançando descobrimos a existência da anfitriã, um "fantasma", que foi vítima de bullying por seus colegas de turma.
A revelação final sobre o verdadeiro anfitrião e a motivação do jogo, apesar de plausível para o contexto do drama, foi também insano demais. Gostei da cena final "em aberto" porque deixa para a imaginação do expectador entender o que aconteceu. Ao mesmo tempo que é um final definitivo também deixa aberto a possibilidade de mais uma temporada.
Sobre atuação dos adolescentes, destaco o ator que fez o papel do Jin Da Beom. Ele simplesmente arrasou na forma como transmitiu as emoções e características motivacionais do personagem. Ficarei de olho nos próximos trabalhos dele porque temos aqui um excelente ator e ainda super jovem.
Gostaria de destacar ainda que Night Has Come não é um drama para qualquer um assistir. As mortes são extremamente gráficas e desconfortáveis de ver. Mas confesso que as mortes ocorridas no episódio 8 foram as únicas que assisti com satisfação.

Day has come?
I literally never watch survival shows like this. Because I'm someone who doesn't like horror themes or ruthless killing and stuff like that. And when I attempted Duty after school I was traumatized 😭😂With this out, I waw pretty curious because I like school themes and all ( same reason for trying DAS) and I really wasn't expecting much. But since there are no beast or so invading the world I did try and Omg. I love love love this show.
Sure enough some death scenes can be triggering! But I closed my eyes most at times lol. And enjoyed the flow of it's unique plot!
I liked the mystery theme so much! Like the suspense and all! It was well written and plotted out! The fact that I was never bored each episode and even when waiting for new episodes I was so anxious while coming up with endless theories for why this could have happened and what would happen next. Omg that was so fun! And I enjoyed each theories I made and each people I chatted with about our theories on this show lol.
I love the acting. Emotional and realistic. The characters were well written here. And even the ones who are evil are evil enough to be hated on lol. But I overall loved them all.
I never expected this to be one of my fav but it sure was and glad i saw it. So I'd highly recommend it to people who loves this genre and people who wish to try such genre but are scared of Duty After school and AOUAD. Because the tone of things are lighter here compared to those but it's certainly not INFERIOR to it in entertainment I believed. So please watch it and be intrigued already!

Kind of* scary
.Good start
Waste of potential of characters
Unfortunately , I didn't like the ending
Even if it could be the only way to explain things in the best way
My expectations were much more from it.
Anyways
you should give it a try
and decide for yourself.

No brainer impression, but that's not the case
I don't get why nobody's doing justice to this series 💀 it was actually quite entertaining but the amount of negative remarks gives off the impression that the show was a no brainer. I was waiting for this to come for so long, i had it on my plan to watch way before the show was even out and i was really excited to watch it the moment it's out but i felt like waiting for it to end so i can binge watch. But when i came back i saw all these negative remarks about the ending and also about how the show was a no brainer that i just kept putting it off to watch later but yesterday i wanted to give it a try at last. I was trying to finish the series on my plan to watch and so i ending up finished the series in less than a day.Here's what i genuinely want to say:
- The plot twists were plot twisting
- The storyline is NOT weak as other reviews make it out to be. Yes, the character backstories weren't explained in depth but only shown as glimpses and something that was implied (understanding from the situations) and I don't think I'd blame them for that because they were probably trying to make us live in the moment by using only one location mostly throughout the series. Showing an entire backstory detail to detail would have taken our mind off of the current situation and the MAIN focus of the series (the game) and it wouldn't make the game go in the flow.
- the ending is unhappy yes but unhappy in the sense, not a poor thought ending but an ending were the characters aren't happy WHICH makes the viewers unhappy.
- I saw some reviews and thought that some viewers just skipped through the series because there weren't any parts that wasn't completely left blank to the audience just a few things that the audience themselves have to figure out and it really isn't something that has to be spelled out for us to understand.
- about how the games rules work now listen like im pretty sure even the players weren't sure abt how the game works bc they only found out the rules as they played through the game. Like they only thought of killing everyone AFTER they got both the mental strength to do that and also after the incident with the death of the doctor. And it's not like they all had the intension to kill anyone literally right after they got in the game lol they were literally trying to process everything. Then after a few nights they start to adapt to this whole killing and dying thing and so they finally becomes ruthless as the episode goes.
i might've missed more things but that's not the point i want to make. The point i want to make is if you're one of those who are debating whether to watch or not I'd say go for it bc personally i felt that this series it misunderstood to be really badly executed. Ofc i wouldn't say this is the best way it could've been executed bc you never know how much better it could've been done but nevertheless this is still good enough. ^^
ps. i don't rewatch anything and so i didn't want to put a rewatch value so don't mind that.

Cliche Characters & Storyline
I had high hope on this, but I was greatly disappointed as from the beginning I was bombarded with all sorts of cliches, from the storytelling and down to the characters.I could even predict what kind of characters would be introduced next and what they would do or behave. The plot was juvenile at best. It's a waste of promising talents.
The opening scene had been done countless times that every twist and turn is predictable. Every scene was borrowed from some other typical teenage horror shows, that it made me cringe.
These actors could've been given a better scripts and some of them might shine.

Honestly not that bad
I don’t really watch a lot of dramas but this one is kind of good. Some others say it’s pretty predictable which is somewhat true but overall I didn’t get the mafia until they were revealed to everyone. Yes it’s a little annoying from how the characters act but lowkey what kind of kdrama doesn’t have annoying characters and I’m a person who can’t stand stupid characters but I dealt with it fine. The show is easy to understand which makes it easy to catch on to the storyline but they’re some gore scenes which if you’re uncomfortable with, you should skip. If you enjoy the popular show ‘All of us are dead’ I think you should give this show a try due to its pretty somewhat similar storylines minus the zombies. The only thing I didn’t really like was how face paced the show was, it didn’t really have time for me to connect me as a viewer to any of the characters except like 1 or 2 but it kind of gets better later on into the show. Otherwise I’m excited to see the next 6 episodes and I’ll probably rewatch in the future!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
