Night Has Come

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
