Night Has Come

7/10

Thrilling and entertaining with loads of very graphic bloody violence (be aware)

The drama is entertaining for sure. The pace is fast, acting is good and has an original concept.

Crazy plot twists and not predictable at all but the last plot twist was too unbelievable. I mean this wasn't a believable drama from the start, a bunch of students get stuck in a youth center and they are forced to start playing a game where they have to kill each other to survive.

Until then everything is good and although there's a few holes in the plot, you can ignore them and enjoy the action and rhythm of trying to figure out who are the bad guys and who will die every night ( be aware there's many very graphic violence and blood in this drama and they are not subtle showing them....)

But then towards the end there's a major change/twist in the plot that it's so unbelievable crazy, I am not sure it works for me. I feel like its the typical kdrama storyline of guilt tripping mixed with revenge koreans love so much and it just frustrates me.

Regardless, I think the ending is very fitting and I don't think we need a sequel for this.

Overall a nice watch for a Friday night with friends.

Bloody Enjoyable

This Korean drama is in the mould of older Japanese and Korean thrillers. If you liked Oldboy and Battle Royale, you'll probably enjoy this. However, the kill scenes are pretty gory so please be warned.

The pace is great and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are plot twists that keep in interesting, and if you avoid thinking too much about the plot holes, you might enjoy the show.

The acting was mediocre but they are all relatively young and it's not bad enough to ruin any scenes,

This is another enjoyable Korean thriller for fans on Squid Games and The Glory. I'd recommend it if you enjoyed those shows.

Cringe and bad writing

They mix thriller and paranormal and sci fi which doesnt make sense because they only took a scoop out of it and put it in portions. Earlier in the series we are led to believe there are some paranormal occurrences, this was completely abandoned by the end of the series.

The idea itself is borrowing from japanese anime / game Danganronpa.

Mediocre acting, bad screenwriting, plot twists that arent really... Plot twists.

Some events and characters though are quite enjoyable. Like the bully guy and the main character.

6.5/10

Some major flaws like inconsistent setting (paranormal vs sci fi), bad writing (cases are too simple, and seeing from mafias POV making it has no plot twists. Early on it was revealed who the mafias are. Some mafias are revealed by "oh they mentioned something they shouldn't have known" which gets boring.

One of the best drama in 2023.

One of the best mystery thriller drama for sure. I just falling love with main leads. They're just ozm yaar. Not an extra ordinary or muliti talented cliche hero/heroine, they're just simple humans thats why i love them more. Idk why this one is so underrated. This deserves more and more. The negative characters also done very well. But only negative i feel that yoon seo and jun hee moments are too short. The starting and the ending was perfect. Most of the drams i never watch twice but this one i already watched thrice.

I hope for S2 because the ending is not ended.

If that happen then i want more scenes of jun hee and yoon seo.

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.

Great Show !!! We need a season 2 !!!

Loved it!! I will try to explain myself as good as possible to avoid giving spoilers :) Everything about it was genius. It gave me the Among Us vibes haha. Great characters. Great actors. I saw people complaining about acting. Totally disagree. There were moments when actors did great. Especially on sad moments. I for exampled ended up loving the ones I hated in the beginning and hated the ones I liked. There were moments when this show left me speechless...and I loved it because I was always waiting for the next episode. The ending was a bit strange. I was expecting something different to be honest... BUT it wasn't that bad because now they can make a season 2. It deserves a season 2. At first I thought it was better to end it like this than ruin it with other seasons as other shows do,but after I saw the ending...I think a s2 doesn't sound so bad.

Solid 8 watch

The Night Has Come is a solid 8/10-a visually striking film that delivers a moody, immersive experience. The cinematography is beautifully crafted, with every scene thoughtfully composed to draw you into its world. The music pairs perfectly, setting a tone that's both haunting and captivating, enhancing the story's emotional pull.

At times, the plot can be a bit confusing, with a few moments that leave you wondering where the story is headed. But overall, it comes together nicely, offering a unique experience that's both intriguing and memorable. Fans of atmospheric storytelling will find a lot to appreciate here.

a very good series but with bad ending

I randomly discoverd this series and i really enjoyed it, it might be not good for you if you cant watch series with much violent and blood but if you are a action fan and want a good story where you just want to continue watching and staying excited all the time than this is the right thing for you to watch. I enjoyed every second of it, the only thing that was not that good was the open ending. Some thing will happen that you will never expect and the more you see the more you will think differnt about it. Its something that no action fans should miss. The story is very fluid and it never gets boring.

Better be a season 2

It's not bad the Acting is definitely there for the female characters and the bad guy seen in the group. Its the portrayed good guy that everyone likes for me his acting isn't all there. Besides the acting the storyline is great with the game of mafia but this ghost entity feels like it really doesn't go anywhere? But idk need season 2 to know for sure. The high frequency when they get executed and turning of white pupils I wish they'd do without the white pupils and just remain with the high frequency. It's a good show to watch with the others cause it makes you try to figure out who is the mafia and you get annoyed with the characters which is always fun.

Need season 2.

High school drama

As someone who doesn't watch trailers I like the first time viewing experience that comes with new shows. This starts of pretty good and moves at a good pace for the plot. If you play games then you will be familiar with the concept. So they're a lot of characters but you quickly get an idea of the main cast.

Pros:I liked the idea and you get intrigued with trying to figure out what's happening etc.

Con:After episode 2 I found myself skipping a lot of the dialogue. The sound of whinny,backstabbing and annoying teenagers bubble-wrapped in high school clique drama get tiresome very quickly.

I didn't like the leads they seem pretty dull and emotionless. You can't feel or route for any character as they're all irritating.

The longer you watch the less you become interested. You just want it to end so you can figure out what was happening and who had made the game. K-dramas love school based plots especially in the survival segment. Sadly this doesn't hit the spot for me!

Let's play a game....

A number of students at a retreat are surprised when all the staff and teachers suddenly go missing. They then hear an announcement where an actual game of Mafia will be played and they will have to vote each night for the death of one of them. It is based on the usual Mafia game with Mafia, Civilians, Police officers and Doctors. There are boundaries so they cannot leave the scene and the game must be played out. All the young actors do a good job and there are many twists and turns as the body count mounts up. Don't take it too seriously and enjoy the journey to who will survive in the end.

Interesting premise, but convoluted and messy

"Night Has Come" begins with a promising premise, drawing viewers into an escape-room style reminiscent of films like Saw. The drama initially captivates with its mysterious atmosphere and the intriguing concept of a game that becomes all too real, echoing the life-and-death stakes of "Battle Royale."

However, as the narrative unfolds, the plot becomes increasingly boring as the show stays on the bickering and deception of the Mafia game. But then suddenly gets increasingly convoluted as they try to introduce the missing pieces of the story. The drama attempts to weave together various concepts and ideas all heavily influenced by existing movies and TV shows from The Matrix, to eXistenZ, Last House On The Left and even Black Mirror, but struggles to maintain a coherent storyline or achieve anything particularly new over those existing stories. The mystery that initially adds to the allure soon turns into a labyrinth of convoluted reveals that just lead to a mess.

Also the plot doesn't make sense, the people playing mafia are never aware of the real reason they are there, so the overarching reason for them playing doesn't make sense.

Underrated - Even though i guessed the ending from the first episode it was good

When Parasite (RIP Lee Sun Kyun, i liked him since Coffee Prince, especially his voice), All of Us Dead & Squid Game was too overrated (i don't think they were that good, all 3 of those disappointed me very much) this show is too underrated. It was really good, i didn't expect that i will actually enjoy it. Even thought i guessed the ending it was very well done. Especially the dead scenes. Many of them was very brutel-gore, it reminds me Another (anime). I read some comments that mentioned "acting" but i didn't catch any of those kids acting bothering me. And there was many stupid choices those kids made but they were "kids-teenangers-highschoolers" so it's understandable.

One of the best k-dramas I've ever seen!

This k-drama is amazing. I can't stop watching this. Like this is so good!!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH IT! The actors are so beautiful and talented, the idea of this series is wonderful. It has a a very big plot twist, you can't expect what will happen, I watched twice and I'll watch it again. I really really really hope there will be seseon 2 of this masterpiece! I love it and it is a little bit horror, but not that much, I became more attentive to some aspects after watching it and I totally recommend it! I like "Mafia game" so much and I love to play it with my friends, it is really fun and we have a good time playing it!

Love the pacing, atmospheric horror vibes, and brilliant build-up of tension!

This has much better pacing than most Korean dramas. And I've seen LOTS of K-Dramas.

My favorites are the ones with super intense pacing with little to no filler. They keep you engaged the whole time throughout every episode. Some other examples of these would be Bargain, Weak Hero Class, and Extracurricular.

I LOVE THIS!

The way they build tension with every episode and how the bodycount just keeps growing is brilliantly executed. I love the overall atmospheric horror vibes and it's cool to see the director coming from the horror genre...

I'd really like to see Lim Dae-Woong doing more projects like this and also diving into the action genre cause I could see him being the next Timo Tjahjanto for Korean action and horror cinema 🔥
