Picture yourself trapped in a life-or-death mafia game. Anticipation among fans is building for the upcoming 2023 K-drama Night Has Come, thanks to its gripping and distinctive plot featuring students battling for survival.
In mid-June, it was announced that a new horror thriller K-drama would premiere in 2023. Its main cast was confirmed to include actors Lee Jae-in, Kim Woo-seok, Choi Ye-bin, Cha Woo-min, Ahn Ji-ho, and Jeong So-ri. The cast is made up of rising stars. They have had roles in Racket Boys, The Penthouse: War in Life, All of Us Are Dead, and The Devil Judge.
K-dramas have enthralled fans with their chilling horror storylines, and Night Has Come will be no different. Hit series like All of Us Are Dead and Duty After School have done a superb job of putting young high teens in stressful situations to stay alive.
Night Has Fallen will be a worthy K-drama to end 2023 – here’s what it’s about.

The K-drama is also being titled under Night Has Fallen. Everyone at some point has most likely played the mafia game. It’s a Russian deduction game consisting of night cycles and day cycles. The night cycle players eliminate or “kill” participants while their eyes are closed. The day cycle players are tasked with accusing and eliminating people they might think are the mafia players.

Night Has Come gives the party game a deadly twist. The teen characters are in a real-life mafia death match. The official poster displays bloody phones illuminated with different words like “police” and “citizen.” But only one is tagged as “Mafia.”
The 12-episode K-drama will premiere on December 4, 2024, on U+ Mobile TV, but will be available to global fans on Viki.
