Good story but the ending disappoints.
The plot was great, each episode keeps you wanting to keep watching episode after episode. The deaths were great, it is a drama that provokes all kinds of emotions in you, you manage to hate some characters, and have empathy for others. using such a cool game like mafia and making it real was wonderful. but the ending was bad, I hope there can be a second season and they manage to escape the game.Please make a second season and improve the ending you made.
On the other hand, great work by the actors, I loved their performance.

Why are these reviews so lame
Listen to me right now. This is a web drama 12 episodes 45 min long average each. idk why these reviewers were expecting a life changing masterpiece.Anyways i loved this drama sm. it was so fun and crazy and reminds me of when idols play it. I love when my fav idols play it if you do to you will love this 1000 times more. I enjoyed it very much. there were many unexpected turns and it felt very mysterious not knowing everything about the characters I didn’t get bored once it is very fast pace. i said it before and will say it again I wish i could forget the whole thing and watch it again that’s how much I enjoyed it. it was a little gruesome at parts tbh but I didn’t mind it too much. the ONLY complaint I have is the ending wasn’t the greatest. Not saying it wasn’t climatic or was boring. it just took an unexpected turn that I would’ve preffered was left out.. lol I just forget about it. anyways WATCH IT

WOW!
i havent watched such a good thriller is so long !!
lemme tell you i was HOOKED from episode one!
im really happy i let all this episodes air and then binged everything in one day even tho i had a paper due the next day XD BUT IT WAS SO WORTH.
every episode kept me on edge, and i love how fresh this concept was and this new game.
all actors did such a wonderful job.
i did see people complain about the show but personally i loved it and didnt think its was bad at all, and the ending well i can understand why people did not like it and i too have some issues however i think it was a good ending nevertheless
SPoilers incoming!
- okay even tho i enjoyed the show, i cannot deny that some things did not make sense.
like when the bullies tried to kill woo ram, like everyine brushed that off after he was exposed to be the mafia. like i was honeslty suprised how the bullies weren't voted out at the start when they were basically the worst. but i guess plot armour and ngl the episode where they start to point figures at each other was pretty good.
for the endning i think it did make sense all the thigns happening were a stimulation, because that would explain how everyone lost their memory of se eun and the weird things happening like the telephones not plugged or when our FL fell thru the vent into the basement etc etc.
however at the end it was revealed that this was the work of the se euns parents for revenge.
now this is actually BRUTAL becuase what they've been doing is seriously wrong and doesnt make sense, like yes okay you daughter was bullied into exiting, ofc i understand the pain and anger the parents must have had but to make the whole class suffer is just wrong since some of them didnt even talk to se eun or participate in the bullying al all ,and there were people who were her friends like Ml and Fl, so to put them all thru hell instead of putting the actual people who made her life hell just doesnt make sense to me.
the main culprits were basically the guy ( the last mafia beside jung won) who made that fake video, and then the bullies who made him post it publicly and the mi so and her bully friends.
it would have been satisifying if they were forced to play the game rather than the whole class and then we find out that these kids were actually 2 faced this whole time or some plot twist like that.
i do think the father felt guilty at the end but the mom just cannot move on.
another thing is why keep erasing their minds if you want them to suffer, why not let them remember everything that happened and what they did to their daughter, itll torment them alot more and they would feel atleast some remorse.
that aside, the parents could have just hired a PI to find out who spread the fake video etc (since the parents are really rich as we can see) and then take matters legally to court or smt.
idk but yeah i just find it unfair the whole class has to suffer and were probably kidnapped and sent to their lab or smt.
the last scene gave me chills, i finally thought okay are they back in real life?, but then BOOM jung won.
i honeslty feel sorry for jung won, i feel se euns spirit is in her but she cannot do anything to end the game when her parents are in controll.
neverthless this is going to my top 10 favourite thriller shows, and ngl i kinda enjoyed it a bit more than all of us are dead.
not sure if we need a 2nd season but i'd be excited if there were another!

AN ENTERTAINING WATCH
Just finished this and Iam not sure how I feel about the ending to be honest I love the whole idea but it could have been executed a little better otherwise it felt a little lazy and open.Any ways the story was intriguing and captivating, it has a way of keeping you on your toes as you watched and those little cliff hangers at the end of the episodes always got be excited to watch more...the acting was good from every one but I mainly want to show appreciation to Ahn Jiho ( Da bum) Choi yebin ( Jung Woo) and Choi woomin( Kyung Jun) (They weren't even the first main characters of the show but they did steal the spotlight with their immerse acting, it was crazy yet really impactful...
I just feel like the main roles could have been written a little better the male lead and female leads characters felt a bit bland and boring and to be honest the characters played by the bullies and the so called villains of the show had more complexity and layers and their characters just felt really entertaining to the point that they carried most of the episodes for me.
I also feel like they would have made it a bit longer for proper execution and also to allow us get connected to the characters otherwise some times it felt fast and most characters didn't really leave an impact....or room to connect with the viewers.
Overall if you want something short thrilling and scary( not so much) with nice twists and amazing acting then try this out and decide if the ending is what you wanted or not....

Fun snack show!! but don't use your brain too much or it'll frustrate you
I enjoy this show as I binge watched it. If I was watching it weekly then surely rated this lower than what I have. But what I can say clearly is that I had a fun time while watching w/o using my brains.... they made sure to pick up my adrenaline & kept me on my toes. Cuz in many shows I don't even get excited or feel anything throughout the whole show.First off all.... the story..... it was good, like the concept of it was interesting but the point is how they should've executed this. Rather than keeping the revenge of parents through simulation all to the last episode, they could've done something else with the whole mafia game concept.
Like that mafia game concept is so brilliant, I love it, but other than that some things seem weird & out of place. Like how the ghost appeared in the vent & many etc...etc.. plot holes.
I'm dissapointed that they didn't use this interesting concept for a full fledged show of either 10 or 12 episodes of 1 hour & gave characters more depth to them & left less of those plot holes.
The characters where not so well written but this show had that factor due to its packed & new type of storyline that intruiged me.
Acting was nice... nothing too grand but good. But that scene in pool where FL pulls ML out of pool after after he was presumed to be dead was probably the best chemistry scene they had throughout the show.
The BGM was not so much there but at the crazy scenes, it did help with the excitement or shock of the scene.This has that fever dream like story aspect to it lol.
Anything,everything all at once
Survival game....Ghost....Sci-fi....Grotesque thriller....teen....revenge
And at last.... I don't think this show has much rewatching value as the story's end gets weird for me & out of place & ruins the vibe I associated with this show in it's earlier episodes.
Well that's all for my personal opinion. Gamsahamnida..nnn..yo ~

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.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

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.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

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.

AMOGUS
High school students play the mafia game. Cool, we all played the game in high school. Except people really do get killed. The mafias killing them are among them and they have to vote out these mafias, who would ALSO actually die. Basically among us in real life - minus the tasks.Now this is a plot which is bound to attract viewers. Fresh storyline, fresh actors, keeps people on the edge of their seat - it's pretty much set up to become a hit. The only problem that can possibly arise is poor execution. And that is exactly what happened here.
*ACTORS*:
The actors were mostly those I had never seen before (except the one who played Oh Jung Won, who I believe is that one girl from Penthouse). Assuming that it was one of their initial projects, they did a pretty good job. That bully guy tho - he did a really good job pissing me off. Great acting skills fr.
*STORY*:
Boy when I tell you that this drama is a huuuge missed opportunity. It had MASSIVE potential -it started out strong and would have easily become a huge success had it not crumbled in the latter half. It was as if the writer got a really great idea and started writing excitedly, then ran out of ideas on how to further develop the premise of the whys and hows and just.... finished it off. A few things I would like to point out, MAJOR SPOILERS ahead so continue reading only if you have seen the drama in its entirety:
1. The children got used to the game too quickly for my liking. I guess that was required to condense everything in 12 episodes, but they should have dwelled on their confusion, despair and thought processes, which they didn't. They could have made use of that main bully's acting skills when they showed him crying in one of the initial episodes, so that viewers could better understand the shock and distress everyone was going through.
2. What was the point of ML's backstory? To add a little conviction to his very anticlimactic "death"? If yes, then it unfortunately didn't serve the purpose very well.
3. The entire Se-eun situation - The last ep was pretty much dedicated to this and I believe it was supposed to act as an explanation as to whatever happened but it seems pretty half baked and only leaves us with further questions. For instance, how did Se-eun's parents manage to gather those children in the first place? Was it that game notification everyone received? What about those children's parents then? What on earth are they doing? Why are Se-eun's parents also targeting those who weren't even aware about the whole Se-eun scandal? How blinded by revenge were they that they dragged in innocent children to suffer their wrath too? I'm sorry but the whole 'those-who-do-nothing-while-others-are-bullied-and-stay-silent' argument isn't very convincing tbh. What kind of an investigation took place that they could not track down who made that scandalous video? If Se-eun's parents have enough money and resources (so much so that they got into every one of their daughter's classmate's brain to make them suffer), how did they allow it to be swept under the rugs?
4. "Make the bullies suffer as she did" was the whole premise and yet it wasn't carried out satisfactorily. Not once do the bullies connect their wrongdoings to their circumstances, not once do they feel bad about their actions, not once do they regret doing what they did. Instead, innocent children got PTSD from witnessing their friends die, as if having one friend suicide wasn't enough.
All in all, it was a good watch but the ending was SO unsatisfying that it became yet another average drama.
P.S: What's with all those Kyung Jun and Yoon-Seo edits on youtube lmaoo?! Where on earth do people even get such ideas +_+

I think it has a good plot. This plot similarity for Japanese Wolf game. I think when it started it makes us confusing, and trailer starts. But somehow when it near to end thriller feeling is gone. I am from the first episode I guessd main Mafia. When the last third Mafia is died I guess who is the other Mafia. And I feel like ending is ruin everything. I mean it's actually a game that se eun's parents made. Actually back but I feel like this is not what I wanted. Even if there are second season, we already know it was a game and they are not going to die so I don't think it will be masterpiece. And there is one more thing when it comes to Japanese wolf game it's more thrilling than this one. it has plot that nicely lineup. I like this drama and I end it from one go.. but somehow when ending is near it like a messed up and last episode is suck... I don't know how to express my feeling. Somthing is off. I can't point out what is it. Because I started to like it lot, but when episodes gone by gone my feelings are messed up. we can watch it without getting bored. but afterwards that I feel like what was it? and what's the point ? What the hell I did watched?
Acting was good I feel like main actors not strong enough. more than a main actors the villain boys strong. Because main two actors doing something it always going bad..
