It's Night (2023)

I want my time back

The story started off good, with a lot of mystery and confusion which was the main reason I decided to finish the whole show. I saw the good rating and was fooled. What a bad decision it was to finish the entire show...everyone was just being dumb and blaming each other for stupid stuff...Also female lead is just there talking bullsh*t, saying stuff like don't kill! Blah blah like they're mafia and wanna live...they don't have a choice. Both leads also don't do anything throughout the entire show besides watch stuff go down. Also, a lot of things weren't really cleared up and just went with it.

Spoilers ahead**
When they found out the best friend was the mafia, why tf did they start yelling at her, blaming her, and telling her pls don't kill anyone? She wants to live. Nothing wrong with that and she literally protected her friends by not killing them and turning on the other mafia. Also, the ending "plot twist" was garbage. Wtf is that random plot twist. Parents want revenge so they decide to put all of them in a never-ending game, including the daughter's best friend.

VERY POOR ENDING

Honestly I feel like the overall story was good and all but for me the ending felt way too rushed, and it especially felt like it was just an idea that they came up with out of nowhere. ? I really liked the beginning, the characters did very good at acting but it for a bit more sloppy near the ending. All those hints about the ghosts and everything just for it to just be about a video game? And it made no sense as to why the parents put the blame on the students when it clearly wasn't all their faults, they should've looked after their own kid. Anyways I would probably be looking forward to a Season 2 of this :).

How a 3 min ending can change your opinion!!!

Honestly saying I never write reviews but this series made me want to write one.
Firstly starting with how I liked this drama
It was 10/10 until the end of the episode even after I saw all the spoilers and people getting disappointed with the drama at the end of the episode I do think that it's not the whole episode but just few minutes which can change your opinion about the whole drama.
Until last few minutes of the series I felt like why??? That just doesn't make sense!!! The game restarts? But all of this question can get its answer if there is a season 2
I personally would like to watch Season 2 with a different game but the plot won't change ik that
anyways I feel like everyone has different opinions and that's why almost all the reviews say that it's disappointing but
well I would like to say give it a go
you won't know it until you watch it

Before starting this review, i must say that this easily entered my favourite 20 k-dramas of all time, not just because of how good it was but because i loved it so much.

This drama didn't have any boring scenes or moments, it was so fluid and i didn't even realize that i finished it in ONE DAY, i am promising you it's not a 10/10 but a definitely interesting show, not a single boring moment for me and pretty short.

Now let's come to the show, where the problem starts to occur.

First of all the story is a 10/10, this show's plot is one of the if not the most unique k-drama plots, it's so different from others and i can't find anything like this, the recommended ones are pretty much not like this i would say, so the story is a definitely 10/10

The acting is kind of.. Blunt, yes i know most actors are new & rookie but they could have done a better job i guess. I'm hoping all of them to be very succesfull on the future.

Show had some stupid parts but i'll explain them later.

Writing sucked a lot, the mafia game had some issues. The mafia could have destroyed someone's phone knowing that they will be voted, because when you don't vote you get executed, at least they wouldn't live if they didn't either???

Ending was not that bad as other people made it look like, but i don't understand why people make it look like it's the worst ending of all time in k-drama history, i think it's great for a season 2 to clarify some things that didn't make sense in the season 1.

I didn't understand parents. Not just because what they did was insane but literally EVERYONE was blamed.. like what'd i do honey? I just ate my popcorn in my home and watch my K-dramas.

ML and FL victimized themselves and it was awful. The ML was the biggest hypocrite i have ever seen in my life yet he was acting like a 'villain' who wants to survive just like others is a b*tch?

I don't understand how in that situation where you literally DIE you can still care about romance.. literally.. and they were so calm the whole show like they knew it was going to happen. Was it bad acting or bad writing? or both?

Why did they not just get rid of bullies aka most importantly kyungjun first? It would calm down the situation more as he is making it worse.

There is no single likable character..

We still don't know how NYW got stabbed, who even did it and his death was problematic & fatphobic.

Overall, Night has come is an enjoyable short webdrama with major flaws/plot holes, If you want to watch it still go ahead and do it.

This could've been good.

Like all the other reviews, I will start by saying it was a strong beginning but the ending was a poor choice imo.

The mystery of it all was intriguing to guess around of who had what roles. I believe the show did a good job at showcasing teenage gullibility and how if you have a friend you'll believe what they say. There were times I was questioning each person and then I would understand their motive of being suspicious. I believe the show was trying to get a shock with the murders and kind of lost the reason of what the show was about in the first place. Na Hee, my beloved, you deserved so much better. It was an easy watch and I always say if it's not for me, it's for someone else. This show is an example.

Acting wise I will say Lee Jae In (Yoon Seo) was great. She kills it whatever she's in and this one was a respectable choice. The script was a little off at times but for a 12 episode, 30 min. each show, I can understand the rush they were using when explaining things. I do think the theatrics were a bit much of being extremely obvious in a crowded room (cough cough So Mi and Da Beom) so it was a little off putting seeing that and every goes for the innocent one. WooSeok (Jun Hee) was a respectable watch, I do think because of his popularity they can't just kill him off in the middle of the show because their viewership would go down. I was surprised when Kyung Jun died and -stayed- dead, given the curveballs we were receiving but a nod to Cha Woo Min who took the L.

Now, the ending. I caught the vibe of what they were trying to do but given the fact that they rushed it all in the last 5 minutes is insane of them to think that was a good idea. They already were being unclear throughout the show with giving up minimal amount of knowledge of Eun Ha and who she even was for us to care. Then they are telling us, "well actually, all of these kids deserve being put through torture for what my daughter went through" and listen. I love the revenge arch idea. Again, last 5 minutes to intake all of that is crazy. At least give us 2 more episodes. One in the beginning, prefacing Eun Ha's death and giving us literally anything about this girl and gain some sort of attachment. One at the end, giving us more of the parents and their mindset on starting this and maybe some drama of what they had to do to get 30 kids without authorities being flagged by it all. Then maybe give us more of her throughout the show, not just quick ghost glimpses and secretively it being Jungwon all along because HOW are we supposed to connect any reason to these lines of the story if we don't have a base. Also just to reroute it back to the beginning . . . what did we gain? Like, sick, I watched all of these episodes of these kids killing each other only to find out, there is no solution. Listen, I love cliffhangers, but this last 10-30 seconds just gives you no hope because you have nothing to go off of.

Overall, it isn't bad. I just need more to fully be enraptured by this story line and maybe if they one day decide to give it a season 2, please stop giving me anger without a reason and maybe some grief or something to show that the start of all of this was because this innocent girl was bullied to death. If you are wanting revenge, I recommend The Glory or Blind. If you want a quick watch to just get a taste of mystery and death, then I recommend this. I don't recommend a rewatch unless you are either down bad for Wooseok or you like paining yourself with the unknown questions of what just happened.

The night has come, the darkness is here and what not what lurks behind the shadows. Here we have a very odd school drama that I longed for. Like most of the rougher and more unexpected series that some of you may have noticed. A different one where terror and death reign within the school's corridors and walls. The social game mafia is lived out for real. You have to guess who is to blame for all the terrible events. Reminds a bit of the Squid game where it's everyone against everyone.

A thriller that is quite devastating at times with serious high tension. don't know what happens next. The feeling of dread never goes away. As far from romance as you can get in these contexts. Caring is the closest you can see. Otherwise, it is betrayal and false trust in each other that applies to being able to survive. The mafia against civilians, doctors and police according to the rules of the game. Except with the method of voting everyone is done on their own mobile phone instead of pointing someone out by hand. The biggest gain is to have life preserved, a lot that happens in between.

Reminiscent of Duty after school without monsters but with more horror instead as I wanted in the already mentioned. The alliances are not as clear. Not as comical as it was at certain moments, but a real horror, a nightmare in the school world. All of us are dead should also have similarities with this one, even though I haven't seen it, I know it's in a school setting as well. However, this one has no zombies. Also darker and much better. Good music and visually good as a horror. Very interesting!!!!!!
