Disappointing and wasted potential
I really wanted to enjoy Night Has Come, especially because the premise seemed so interesting and promising at the beginning. A deadly mafia game involving high school students sounded like it could become an intense psychological thriller with strong character development, shocking twists, and meaningful backstories. Unfortunately, by the time I finished the drama, I was left feeling disappointed and honestly felt like I had wasted six hours of my time.
One of my biggest problems with the drama is the lack of properly explained backstories. There were so many characters, but I never felt truly connected to most of them because we barely got to understand who they were or why they behaved the way they did. Some characters had the potential to be genuinely interesting, but their stories were either rushed, ignored, or left unexplored. Because of this, many of the emotional moments did not have the impact they could have had.
The ending was even more disappointing. After spending the entire drama waiting for answers and hoping everything would come together in a satisfying way, the conclusion felt frustrating and underwhelming. It seemed like the writers were trying too hard to create a shocking or clever twist instead of giving the story a proper resolution. For me, the ending made the whole experience feel even more pointless.
The drama definitely had some suspenseful moments, and the concept itself was good, but a good concept is not enough when the execution feels incomplete. I kept watching because I genuinely expected the story to get better and eventually explain everything, but that payoff never came.
If you are looking for a high school survival or psychological drama, I would personally recommend Pyramid Game instead. At least that drama felt more engaging to me and gave me more reasons to care about the characters and what was happening.
Overall, Night Has Come had a lot of potential but failed to deliver for me. I really wanted to like it, but after finishing it, my main feeling was disappointment. Six hours spent waiting for a satisfying explanation and ending that never came. Such a waste of a promising concept.
