Night Has Come

Lots of plot twist and an ending that could be better.

The k-drama flows well at the beginning, but from the middle to the end it is loaded with plot twist, which didn't bother me. What I didn't like was the ending. I honestly expected an ending like other series in the same style of night has come, the remaining participants would find out who the mafia is and then they would be free to leave. The ending was bad compared to the entire course of the series. If the k-drama ended like I said, it would be better than that. I gave it a 9.0 because of how the series unfolded until episode 11, which was very good. The performances and the plot twist don't leave anything to be desired either, I liked it a lot. It's worth watching.

Boa História e péssima execução

O drama começa muito bem com uma história e enredos envolventes, mas tudo começa a desandar do meio pro fim, fica tudo mt arrastado e óbvio, a máfia começa a ser muito óbvia e ter decisões burras. O final não fecha as diversas pontas deixadas durante a série, ser tudo parte de um jogo virtual é uma decisão preguiçosa de roteiro, além de que o que os pais fazem também não faz sentido, tudo bem querer vingança contra os bullys, mas punir os dois únicos amigos da menina não faz sentido. No final, uma série com bom potencial acabou virando uma série mediana que temos que engolir esse final.

A Rollercoaster of Emotions, An Intense Drama with a Twisty plot and a Surprising Ending!!

Mind-Blowing, Breathtaking, Jaw-Dropping and stunning .. those are the only words that I can use to describe the drama, Ngl.. everything was more than perfect .. the thriller, excitement and suspicion on the mafia game, nobody even could recognize who was the Mafia, Police officer, Doctor or Citizen correctly.

I loved the acting, photography and for the actors they all were new faces to me .. but they worked hard & hard (tbh there were some annoying characters that upset me to death)

Everything sound’s perfect right ?? ‘til episode 12 comes .. what is that?? What happened? Honestly, the ending was very disappointing for me and ruined the entire drama !! Okay, I would accept that they weren’t playing the game in real life and it all made by Eun soo’s parents .. but letting them playing the game again and again limitless?? What a revenge !

Anyways, In overall a Must-Watch drama for sure .. If I had the time then and it was possible I would watch all episodes in one day .

Great work actors and actresses,, and all who worked hard for the drama.. for the writer , he needs to learn and improve how to keep the plot perfect and not to ruin everything for the ending :|

Bye Night Has Come .. Unforgettable drama <3

Old Concept with An Interesting Twist

This wasn’t perfect, but did its job in being suspenseful and entertaining.

Right off students on a school trip are forced into a game akin to the Hunger Games. Kill or die. Thinking it was truly just a game the students played until they came to the realization that their vote meant death to a fellow classmate.

I knew this was some type of virtual reality game when the adults disappeared and were never seen again. This was confirmed when the students tried to find a way to escape but found the outside world presented the illusion of an escape when there was none.

Things that annoyed me about the show, the bullies, specifically Kyung Jun and his crew. These guys were utter assholes who despite the situation didn’t even attempt to make nice to save their own lives. In fact they were worse than ever. Thus, in reality they should’ve been the first ones voted out the building but somehow they managed to survive for most of the series. Most of the students not questioning what was going on and why. Once they realized they had to kill to survive they did it without question with only Yeon Su questioning the why behind what was happening and investigating to find the truth.

Other questions, how long had these kids been tortured in this virtual game? Was no one looking for them? Where were their families? How did they even get to the game room to be put into this virtual reality? How long did Se Eun’s parents plan to continue their revenge?

I could understand them wanting to take revenge on those who drove their daughter to suicide. However, their method was too much. Moreover, they also blamed those who weren’t aware of their daughter’s pain and punished them too, but failed to extend that punishment to themselves. They did not take into account their own ignorance about her struggle which was hypocrisy at its worst considering how they were punishing those who were just as ignorant as them about what was going on.

Though concept is not new , Thw writers did a good job keeping it entertaining and suspenseful and the acting was strong. This is not the type of series I’d rewatch, but despite its issues it was good and worth the watch.

A thriller of Culpability

The story kicks off with a mystery of all the teens being forced to play Mafia and is propelled with fear of death and bullying at every point. The deaths themselves become spectacles. All of the head hits are impactful, as are the ones where they throw themselves over the railing. The self strangulation one was too silly, they should have rethought that one. Selfish bullies push people to the edge just as much as the assigned Mafia do. Everyone is forced to be complicit participants in someone's death by voting. Friends turn against one another. Kids blame themselves. The selfish flourish until their time is up. Intrepid asthmatic Yeon Seo analyzes the crime scenes and tries to find clues out of this giant, murderous Mafia themed escape room. Aside from her observational skills, she's also special in that there is a force who wants her to see beyond the code.

Jung Won turns out to be this force, a character designed to win the game and causing discord and murder in the wake of it, decided to lose it to save the two players who became her friends instead. She's the virtual stand-in, the virtual ghost of Se Eun who took her only life from bullying. The intense loneliness being targeted everyone around you is truly suffocating and it may be hard to understand by those who have not experienced it themselves. It doesn't matter what type of reason was used to bully her, it mattered that it was the people's attitude and actions or inactions towards her. Her parents took it upon themselves to kidnap her entire class and use them to mentally and physically hurt each other. There is no legal recourse that would give them justice for the daughter they lost. Yeon Seo gets to see the set up she's trapped in so the parents could find out what made Jung Won go against her programming to help. They are unwilling to see that Jung Won/Se Eun has found the feeling of friendship and loyalty that she didn't have before. Jung Won found a catharsis in the game that the parents are not willing to embrace yet outside of it even though they have engineered the repeated suffering of the key perpetrators and bystanders. Jung Won is reset along with the rest and she was not able to free Yeon Seo by letting the citizens win as Yeon Seo is only able to awaken when the parents allow her to. The kids aren't there to learn a lesson, they are just to suffer indefinitely. I wonder if aside from Jung Won, the other roles are randomized? If Yeon Seo is put into the mafia role, what would she do? Ultimately her morality doesn't matter to her jailers. Even Se Eun is trapped in this virtual hell until her parents can find their way out of their grief.

really entertaining imo

i used to be obsessed with roblox games like flicker and i still love those types of layouts so i absolutely lovedd this show. i enjoyed guessing who the murderers were, who would die next, and how as well as how creative and morbid the game controlled eliminations were. i was frustrated with the characters pretty often but honestly i didnt mind because it made it way more engaging and most of their behavior was somewhat understandable. the confrontations interested me because its such a complicated situation since killing people is obviously wrong but they dont exactly have a choice yet i can understand why their classmates are angry. im not usually into shows enough to get so frustrated so i had fun.

i liked the main character and her personal relationships with her friends. wish we got more of her and se eun though (which brings me to my next point). unfortunately the ending was really rushed. i think the show wouldve benefited from an extra episode featuring the class before the games, leading up to the first one.

im not really good at rating acting so thats kinda randomized but i found it good. ive personally rewatched this show a couple times. i find it entertaining to study the characters the second time around, knowing who is and isnt citizen. its also a lot to take in the first time so rewatching it gives me the chance to appreciate the smaller characters and relationships. its short so it doesnt take much time to rewatch.

im surprised this is the only show like this that i could find considering it seems like a pretty basic concept but i was disappointed to learn that all the other “similar recommendations” dont have the aspects that made this show so entertaining so its pretty unique.

This show has so much potential but lowkey fell off a bit

I remember watching this show, and I was so excited because I usually love these types of murder mystery shows and all that but as the show progressed, you could definitely see the plot holes, like when Kyungjun stayed up awake when all the civilians were asleep and how oblivious everyone was. It was honestly surprising that it took the characters 9 EPISODES to finally try to make a proper plan to catch the mafias.
And also, how did everyone not vote out somi in the first place? She keeps voting for the civilians and was just generally a bitchy character in general. Like when Somi pushed off Donghyun and Eunha told everyone, how did people believe that? Somi's character is extremely flawed, and the characters were very stupid for believing anything she says.
Don't even get me started on the ending; I genuinely thought that there was a season 2 already out for this to explain whatever we watched during episode 12. If they extended the ending to Ep. 15 or something, maybe we would have answers. the 'big reveal' is vauge as hell, and I'm honestly more confused with the ending.
This show would blow up if the directors decided to make a season 2. the acting in this show is SOOO GOOD and i would hate for a show with such potential to go to waste
