The Devil’s Plan Death Room

The intro was amazing. And the games… wow. Still just as interesting, still very much a “welcome to the devil’s carousel” experience. In one game you’re in a coalition, in the next you’re switching sides or playing alone because someone betrayed you. But hey — that’s the devil’s game.

I liked that the games were new and well-designed. As for the secret rooms — we already have one season behind us, so it’s obvious the players now suspect that hidden twists lurk around every corner. No surprise they uncovered them early. But honestly, they could’ve made things a bit harder.

It’s hard to say if I had true favorites. The people I liked or disliked kept changing depending on the games and how they played. My opinion swung from “wow, genius” to “what on earth are you doing” every ten minutes.

Unpopular opinion: I feel bad that Hyun-gyu got so much hate — yes, sometimes he played dirty, but it was all within the rules. For some players it’s considered strategy and totally acceptable to switch sides and betray their group, but for him it’s not? I don’t get that. In my view, his gameplay was really good — and at the very least, fun to watch.

Overall, season 2 was chaos, strategy, and pure entertainment. Not a single moment felt boring. I’m already excited for season 3

Better than first season

I see a lot of complaints about this season, but I thought that overall it was better than Season 1. But thankfully in both seasons, the best player won.

I think there were 2 main things they could tweak to improve the show for next season: 1) Don't include any games that can end up in a repetitive stalemate (like the last game and the game in which 7high quit on Eun-yu and Hyun-joon), 2) And avoid games in which team-work and sharing info gives you an overwhelming advantage that smaller numbers can't beat.

My favorite things about the show were the cast and the production/directing/editing. I thought the cast was not only very diverse, with a lot more talented women than you usually see in these shows, but also very smart and interesting and fun to watch. And there weren't any real villains, which is very rare. I thought everyone was likable, except for the young kid from KAIST (he boasts that he has a 95% chance of winning at the beginning?), and 7high often got on my nerves, although he had some good moments too.

And I find it interesting that Tinno is a Korean guy, but he fits a certain type that you often see in Italy, the US, Greece, etc. You could photoshop his picture in with a British or Japanese rock band in the 70s and he would fit right in.

My favorite player was Ha-rin, and I thought she had potential to reach the final 3, but too bad she was eliminated basically through bad luck. I'd love to see her again in another show, if her busy life as a plastic surgeon gives her the time.

And I was rooting for So-hui at the end, but I have to admit that even though she matches or even exceeds Hyun-kyu in game intelligence, she comes short of him in competitiveness and gutsiness.

Conseguiram deixar tudo chato e previsível

Antes de mais nada, já adianto que acho que o ganhador da temporada mereceu vencer. Jogou como se deve, mas o jogo foi arruinado, eles conseguiram deixar completamente previsível e sem sal. As partidas principais foram sem graça e a melhor parte era o jogo da prisão, inclusive o elenco da prisão carregou a temporada nas costas com carisma e força de vontade, mas não adiantou porque eles desbalancearam o jogo demais. Aquela entregada no final foi ridícula. Enfim, espero de verdade que revejam o formato para uma terceira temporada, não sei porque mudaram. Como grande fã da primeira, essa segunda foi decepcionante.

A primeira temporada foi MIL vezes melhor

Pelo menos o hyun gyu foi pra prisão enfrentar a tensão de lá
Gostei do que o 7high fez, jogo é jogo e mesmo ele querendo que a so hui fosse pra final com ele, ele tava ali se salvando, ainda bem que ela fez o mesmo e se salvou
Acho que como hyun gyu jogou ja nos dizia que ele iria pra final e provavelmente ganharia, a variável foi ele ter ido pra prisão no final mas acabou ganhando, como ja estava premeditado o jogo se tornou chato pra mim
Eles fizeram algo bom com os jogos e todad as novas coisas mas ficou muito previsível a partir do momento que eles se dividiram entre prisão e conveniência e ficou maçante, no fim as vezes ficava com raiva da so hui, ela nao conseguia eliminar as pessoas, se juntou a quem eliminava por elas, ficava mal pela aliança dela perder mas as outras pessoas não podiam ficar também? Mas prefiria ela do que o hyun gyu, mesmo sabendo que ele jogou o jeito que era pra jogar e ganhou por isso.
Vamos ver o que será de uma possível nova temporada
Aviso logo que a Eun nyu foi a melhor (ganhou todos os jogos da prisão)

Déçu

Très déçu par ce deuxième opus de Devil's Plan, et c'est surtout le final qui a été bâclé. On se rend bien compte que So-Hui laisse délibérément la victoire à Hyun-Gyu lors de la finale, que ce soit sur le premier jeu où le troisième son intelligence n'est pas mise en cause, en faite elle fait tout pour que son adversaire gagne au dernier moment sur une erreur improbable. C'est flagrant malgré ses efforts pour le cacher.
Elle était vraiment et de loin celle qui devait remporter ce Devil's plan 2, mais elle s'est fait manipuler ou abuser très naïvement par le diable
