Cha Eun Woo nailed it but the directors and story writers didn't.
Started watching because of Cha Eun Woo. I thought I'll like the drama because that's what happened with all the other Cha Eun Woo drama like true beauty and gangnam ID.
I was very excited to watch a supernatural drama after a long time.But I have to say the D
drama sucks. Its bad. Real bad.
the storylines are all mixed. There is 0 character development. I have no idea what the directors or story writers were thinking.
The acting of the casts was good. I can't start talking about Cha Eun Woo because I'll never stop. Just going to say he carried the drama. He made it possible to tolerate and keep watching. But I had a feeling that the Marketing team used him as a clout. I'm not sure. That's a different story. The acting of other actors were also good. But the drama gave them zero chances to truly show their potential. I hope to watch their performance in future dramas.
I was waiting for two years for this drama. But it was so disappointing and it's making me mad.If you're fan of any of the cast, then you should watch it but I'll definitely not recommend it to others.

Definitely a 10 star!!!!
I can't believe I watched this!!!I seriously went into this drama thinking its going to be another generic and mediocre high school drama. I mean just look at the crew, cast and THE NAME!! I never thought this would be my 5th 10-star drama in my 5 years of watching K-dramas. I was disappointed so bad but in a good way lol.
I have a thing for dramas that are flashbacks to the 90s. Dramas like Reply 88, 25-21 and others are my favorites of all time. But I never thought this drama would another one of those. I literally watched it because i had nothing else to do. I turned on the first episode and the next thing i know i was singing along with the ost with all the lyrics memorised by heart.
The plot just fits perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. There were seriously no plot holes and it was just so satisfying to watch. The drama will literally drop your heart, break it into pieces and then go over those pieces with a hoverboard. But the next moments you'll find yourself laughing till your stomach hearts and you have tears in your eyes. You know when a drama gives you such feeling that it will be really good.
And the acting!!!! What the hell is up with these rookies??!!! Why are they soooooo good. I mean its a crime to be so good at something at such a young age. And I would like to add Ryeoun - I'll be keeping my eyes out for you. I think I found my next bias after Jungkook (which was 5 years ago lol). I can't wait to see what else he is going to do in the future.
For those looking for simmilar dramas to fill that empty void in their hearts, you should really check out Twenty-Five, Twenty-One and Reply 1988. You won't regret I promise. And I'll be going to rewatch them again now.

A Masterpiece that not many can appreciate.
A masterpiece. One of the very few kdramas that does everything right. I can't believe this is so underrated.I mean its understandable because not many can actually understand the concept. Because most of the comments down below are just pointing out those things as boring bad that actually make it more superior than other kdramas.
My one advice to you will be don't watch if you’re a kid. Go and watch True Beauty. That is also a great drama and it is a bit light hearted. And another reason to watch it is HAN SEO JUN!!! Lol
But this is actually made for a bit mature audience because otherwise you won't understand a lot of things. And you should really be accustomed with the Korean culture as well.

Highly mediocre but who is Kim Woo Seok?
The idea was good but they messed up in executions. There were so many plot holes and the characters were frustrating but not in good way. Frustrating because they were not well written and portrayed. But still it was fine. If you are thinking about watching this then you definitely should because it is enjoyable.But who the hell is Kim Woo Seok?????!!!
I'm a huge Kdrama fan as well as Kpop stan. I first watched Kim Woo Seok in The Forbidden Marriage and i really liked him. Then i saw him in X1 and i was like wow great he sings and dances. But now that i watched Night Has Come apparently they are not the same!?? My whole life has been lie..

Kim Eun Hee strikes again!
Yes. Just when 2023 needed a well written horror series Kim Eun Hee released her highly awaited masterpiece.The writtng was sooooooo good. And i loved how she didnt just wrote superstitious stuff and showed that ghosts and scary but people - they are the worst.
Also we have to talk about the main attraction. The couple!!!! I was fangirling over them the whole time and so were the other viewers. You will find so many edits on TikTok lol. Its great that the writer didnt do much with them and left it to our imagination. The writer even said that she wanted Hongsae to be a reliable friend to Sanyeong. And professor Yeom to be a good older influence.
If youre looking for a well written drama then go for it. Even if youre not a fan of a horror stuff, the writting and acting just makes it so fun.

Are they releasing all the good dramas at the end of the year?
After releasing so many bad dramas, 2023 is finally looking up at the year-end.My over-all opinion for this drama is it is basic in a good way. There were a lot of different things they could have done with this drama but didn’t. But then again, the fact that something like mental health is being discussed in a drama is a lot. I guess we are taking small steps.
Also, can I just say - why are all these characters saying the most generic stuffs about mental health. Like they would bring up something like panic disorder but they will talk about the most basic stuffs. I mean, these characters are medical professionals. Even I know the things you're saying. What they should have done is take examples from real life cases. Extraordinary Attorney Woo did that splendidly!
I also wanted them to explore the character min deul-le. For me, she had more main-character energy then bo-young's character. Because the latter character has been done a lot in k-dramas. I need a character like deul-re as the fl. And I wanted to see her journey with mental health issues and poverty.
But I would say the slice-of-life vibe of the series was really good. It was overall really heart-warming and left me feeling like i want to wake up tomorrow and do something special for myself. I even started keeping a complimentary diary by the way!!!
If you are thinking about watching it, then you definitely should. And might I add the acting - *chef's kiss*. Those looking for similar dramas should check out Hospital Playlist and Our Blues - both are my all-time favorites.
