It would definitely be better to avoid putting in that shape but it's still common shape in formations.

I don't think these shows were intended for western market or have sensitivity check marks to filter content tested on audience. They are kinda lax with rules and some stuff seem very gray and wouldn't pass safety check here in EU to get approved to shoot by production. I was more surprised by the way some other things were done not so much by swastika.

I live in Europe where they have harshest restrictions about usage of those symbols and even in most restricted country like let's say Austria, this symbol in such setting would not be banned and be allowed to broadcast. BUT they would probably avoid putting in in the first place due to audience perception. Outside of that it's mostly only tolerated for religious use.

However, it can be used in media for educational, artistic, or historical purposes, particularly in countries like Germany where recent rulings allow its use in video games if done for historical accuracy.

I don't think people who made this have awareness or resources to test for anything that may offend someone and even if it offended someone it's minority they can afford since focus group is Korea and profit is basically huge majority domestic. It is also not used in contexts that promote Nazism or hate and theme of show is completely irrelevant to such thematics.

Tho it is surprising someone who designed that game doesn't have enough self awareness to not do that. Despite being Korea it's still common knowledge there that it can be tied to Nazi and someone who works in media its surprising they would miss that one. I understand usage of symbol when actually needed but here it could be avoided even if technically they didn't need to avoid it.

swastika is an ancient symbol over 15000 years used in various cultures, particularly in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, where it represents well-being and good fortune. Symbol was beloved and is still used in many temples, artworks, books and so on. And it recorded some presence all over various cultures and religions including Christian and Jewish even Aztek, Celts and so on basically its present everywhere.

It was adopted by nazi party and used only for 25 years. So they basically ruined ancient symbol by adopting it and doing atrocities.

Swastika used outside of nazi context is not a bad symbol and in Korea you will see swastika on many buildings. Problem is symbol has long history of being used for good everywhere but got turned into a symbol associated with hate and genocide during Nazi regime and ruined long lasting good symbol in recent history.

Hitler's design featured a black swastika rotated 45 degrees, set against a white circle on a red background so that is Nazi party variation. Seeing it outside of that combination in completely different context it's best to assume it wasn't intentional due to it being common symbol.

I assume she is doing weird stuff to make her more interesting and memorable for viewers so she boosts her career.

She is always acting behaving weird for attention. People being weirded out by her and suspicious is valid and she sometimes behave straight up with sociopathic tendencies and emotionally unaware.

Also she was a spy and even if she isn't having member who makes basically sabotage, does nothing to help and then on top of that does weird things for no reason that makes you think they are spy are basically member that hurts your chances.

While she is entraining to watch she was not a good team player until she was forced to evolve because she got called out and did it for survival imo. Her social skills are awful lol 🤣 I wouldn't feel bad for her crocodile tears and she could care less as expressed by herself.

So she is a mediocre actress then?

From the looks of it int twitter and some MDL has most positivity about this with big stans blindly defending stuff others mostly disliked the way s2 turned out. And when I say nost positive about it, most still are negative even twitter. Like many people didn't watch past 10 or 11. Those who watched 12 mostly skimmed for ending and to see returning cast members.

Even before this last set of episodes there were problems from production side the way games, prison, secret games and rules were designed and some other drama..

I get your concern, but let me offer some perspective. Your efforts, while well meaning, likely won’t have much impact. Netflix and similar platforms base renewal decisions primarily on internal performance data, not public ratings on sites like MDL or IMDb. What really matters is how many people actually finish the season, where they stop watching, how quickly they binge it, and whether the show is cost effective compared to its returns.

External ratings are largely superficial unless they strongly influence wider media attention. In some cases, even negative buzz can help by driving curiosity and discussion. So if The Devil’s Plan gets canceled, it’ll almost certainly be due to factors like high production costs, low viewer retention, or underwhelming completion rates and not because a few people left low scores on IMDb, especially if they didn’t watch the full season.

If you genuinely want to support the show, encouraging people to watch the entire season without skipping, that would actually help, because that boosts the metrics that matter. That said, getting people to do that is easier said than done. Still, good luck with that.

So I should use long convoluted sentence that basically still labels her the same attributes and then it's fine?

Please tell what is politically correct term that doesn't insult your eyes?

Should I say “excessively compliant,” “over-accommodating,” or “self-sacrificing to a fault.” instead of using a label that gets the point across more clearly in 1 word because of her very extreme behaviour ?

Or better yet I should avoid giving her labels and write 3 or more paragraphs giving objective traits of doormat observed in show so I am not disrespecting her with labels but basically still say that she is indirectly? So if I am indirectly calling her doormat is that fine?

Displays passive and submissive interpersonal behavior

Demonstrates difficulty asserting personal needs and boundaries

Engages in codependent or approval-seeking patterns

If I word it in a very nice roundabout way like I care about her, even tho I never met this person so it's totally disingenuous and doesn't get the point across is that more acceptable? So I should wrap same label in nicer disingenuous package?

Or should I just use kinda tame word doormat to say all that with one word in a response on Internet with strangers that I thought about for about 1 min because it gets the point across and I am not interacting directly with a person I am calling doormat.

Maybe it doesn't even matter what I say or how I word it when I am on forum filled with teenage fangirls and unreasonable stans so I am not overthinking my comments to make them inclusive for everyone so no one gets their feeling insulted.. oh no I used labels again.. I did it again.. there is no help for me..

I could even label myself Snide or Dickish for writting all this. It's such efficient 1 word label for my response.

Wow this comment legit 100% shares my opinion.. how is that even possible.

Mad respect to 7high

It's easy when you get a doormat that decides to loss game and give you price money despite in final game if she actually played she could win or draw on top of other unbalanced designs this season.

I kept expecting that she might be playing them acting like that but no she is actual doormat fully simping for guy who doesn’t care about her and is in long relationship. She even had breakdown when 7 high wanted to give her the win and reluctantly accepted it so I had some hope she might become less submissive but no in the end where she could either draw or win she decided to lose and give win and all the money to opponent.

This season is so disappointing. SH isn't such a dramatic, games are so underdeveloped and split is biased and impossible to come from on top of that living get hidden game with biggest benefit if won without any disadvantages but prison where you get eliminated you get worse advantage and in death matches you don't get enough advantage to climb out.

More it went on worse it got, atleast 7high went out like a boss.

I asume you watched and finished flowers of evil. Difference is here ML is actually bad person and does messed up things.

In flowers of evil ML is just framed / assumed to be bad actually isn't and doesn't do anything messed up.

Amazon prime

It's about FL named Ru Ha who is part of research team and solo survivor of that team in psychiatric facility stuck with many serial killers they did experiments on. She had somewhat friendly exchange with one of them but I doubt they will change that into anything romantic so NO romance IMO.

They did Seo Ji Eun dirty with her secrets compared to anyone else.

Also how out of touch is Dahae with that bag scene on last episode? Complete lack of awareness and reading the room. It's so random and unrelated to even do that.

Lol I can't stop laughing hearing backstreet boys 🤣

This show is nonsensical and full of plot holes where it can't even follow it's own set world rules they established.

Heavily edited for the shock value so you won't see relationships actually progressing or ex working on repairing relationship because they edited it all out to keep people guessing so ending feels both surprising yet empty and you kinda wondering why someone who had like no interactions (edited out) is confessing to someone.

Also why did they accept ex that was a cheater to participate in this show. It is very unfair to everyone participating to do that just for the shock value.

Also why are commentators so chill about cheating part and totally got selective amnesia about it after 1st episode they are wondering why guy is cold towards ex that cheated on him and shit on him, then suddenly remember it in other cases. Also I don't know why guy didn't say she cheated on him and gave some other reason.

Strong love triangle and ex bs.. deserved to go straight in the bin.

Lol I always like girls in shows like this that are never picked and I am dumbfounded why they are not the most popular like Sora in this case.
