Exciting!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found "Night Has Come" through a recommendation that said this series had a similar vibe to "Squid Game" and what can I say other than it was seriously worth watching.

12 episodes that have such a crazy mix of emotions rotating from excitement from the suspense to sadness from the agonizing moments that happen between the characters.

Characters, a bunch of teens, kids! Who were forced to play a deadly game. Mafia game! Some kids were forced to be the citizens and some other were mafias. All had to kill to survive and you could see the pure desperation in the characters behaviours. The actors did a wonderful job at giving the characters a life making them not plain and 2D but alive and very realistic.

The game rules were simple but so cruel at the same time. Mafias could kill only one person per a night, more otherwise it would be a break of rules which would lead to their own death. They could not kill in the day as it would give them away. Half of the mafias survived till the end all thanks to them not jumping around behaving as mafias stealing phones and killing people randomly, especially because there were many students and they wouldn't have enough time to hide evidence of their crimes.

Doctor and Police were the only roles I'm disappointed about. Forgetting the fact I hoped the pretty bully, Koh Gyeongjun (Cha Woomin) would be the doctor and redeem himself by saving some people, I'm disappointed to know the actual doctor barely did a thing in the story including being an actual character. I guess being a side character stole his fame from the role he got. Although I'm not surprised either of the two didn't come out earlier because if they did they would be dead on the second night. However it turned out the police checked few people and while it is obvious they couldn't check everyone immediately because rules are rules I was seriously surprised to know they didn't try to share their knowledge except one time which lead to the death of many civilians.

The announcements, the game play and the masterminds indeed give the exact same excitement to "Squid Game" and I highly recommend to watch it.

A warning from me would be to seriously read the tags because I learnt some people didn't realise there would be deaths and fake blood.

Personally I'm anticipating season 2 that is suppose to come out this year 2025 on 27th of February! All the characters from season 1 will be back and we might see some exciting plot twists and characters development.

5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
