Reception
Summarize
Perspective
Singapore's national newspaper The Straits Times gave the series three out of five stars, describing the drama as a "delightfully unhinged mash-up of romcom, criminal procedural and supernatural fantasy", praising the character and plot development and its touch on ageism, creating the empathy of fearing to age.[12] TIME also gave the series a positive review, praising the series for combining the serial killer plotline with the "slice-of-life" and farcical romance genres.[13]
Lead actress Jung Eun-ji described the drama as one which held a special place in her heart, and she "occasionally struggled to relate" to her character Mi-jin, although many could empathize with the struggles of her character. Jung said she realized that everyone has their own pace in life through her character and all deserved respect for their different paces in life. The finale of Miss Night and Day achieved the series's highest viewership rating of 11.7 percent, marking the highest for any JTBC drama aired in 2024 so far.[14]
