The Winner deserved to Win the Devils Plan

I really liked this show because it showed that Celebrities, YouTubers, and Influencers are really intelligent and not just a pretty face. I do feel the winner of this show deserved to win that at times I felt that they might actually be the Devils Plan because they were so smart. I also liked watching how they all grew closer together through the time they spent together. I will warn you that there might be spoilers so please be aware when you read my review since I’ll be talking about each person!

The first person I will be talking about is Guillaume because there isn’t much to say about him since we didn’t get to see him a lot nor got to see his talent since he was eliminated in the second episode. I feel that he must be pretty smart since the next games that they played everyone kept saying that Guillaume would’ve aced the games and won. I do wish that he didn’t get eliminated really fast but it’s just how the games were created.
The next person I’m about is Yeonwoo. I really liked her and she was very entertaining to watch especially on the 9th episode since she knew exactly how to beat the game. I did feel at times that she shouldn’t be there because she would get a lot of help from people like Orbit to survive and she kept going to prison which I felt is bad since going to prison is what you should avoid, but she was only got of prison like 1 time which I honestly felt bad for her. It also sucked that the game she would ace was the game she would be eliminated in.
I felt Hyesung was an okay player only because I don’t really remember her as much as the others since I did take a lot time to finish this show, but I felt she didn’t play as rough as some of her fellow contestants. I did like her relationship with Yumin since they gave off the best friends type of vibe, but she was ultimately eliminated by her friend Yumin since she ratted out their plane to everyone which made her move on, but Hyesung got eliminated.
Since we’re on the Yumin topic I felt she tried to play a rough game, but it wasn’t working. Yumin kinda did work with everyone since she worked with Orbit and Seokjin. I just didn’t like how she admitted to playing the sweet and innocent game which is her trying to be innocent and when everyone believe it that she would get benefits from it and it did work which was good in her case but bad for others. I think her main downfall was in the second to last episode where she tried to get Seungkwan out, but ultimately got herself out. I did like how she took the game seriously by instead of focusing on her friendship with Hyesung and Dongjae she betrayed them, but it helped her last a long time.
Dongjae I felt played to hard since it I felt it did lead to his downfall. I did feel he choose the right alliance with Seewon and Seokjin since they were all ready to sacrifice to get ahead and were smart when playing, but Dongjae played to hard by trying to team up with everyone that when he played with Hyesung and Yumin he would be betrayed by Yumin since she didn’t trust him as much as Hyesung and knew that something was fishy with him which lead to his elimination. But I will say his relationship with Seewon and Seokjin was actually cute since they all rooted for each other.
I really love Seungkwan since he was actually the only reason I watched this show was because of him and since he’s one of my favorites in Seventeen, but I felt he could’ve played a little harder. I felt Seungkwan was good for this show since he did make the connections, but the sadder part was that he didn’t trust some of the people which did lead to him having less and less pieces. I really liked Seungkwan and Joonbin’s friendship because they seemed like they were close friends even though I feel this was their first encounter and I’m glad Seungkwan at least had someone he could trust. I felt really bad for Seungkwan on the game where they had the animals since everyone was so focused on trying to keep Yeonwoo out of prison that Orbit forgot about Seungkwan and when they remembered about him there was no way he could get a piece and it was also Seungkwan fault a little for not telling orbit his cards, but I’m with Seungkwan because I personally wouldn’t trust Orbit 100%. But it was sad that Seungkwan got out because of his little pieces.
I liked Dongjoo at the very beginning of the show until it got near the end since I didn’t like how she couldn’t make up her mind about Orbit. I liked her in the beginning since she was very smart and knew what she was doing and she was really cool. I agreed with her when it was the animal game episode where orbit focused to much on trying to help keep those with less pieces in the game and not helping those who have pieces get more for example she didn’t really like trying to help Yeonwoo get more pieces just so she can stay out of jail for a day and let somebody else go to jail for her by not helping them which was Seungkwan. I just didn’t like how she wanted to go against Orbit since she didn’t like his decision, but still played with him at the next games and wanted to go to the finale with Orbit so they can battle together, but it was Orbit who got her eliminated. I felt she had potential to take the game over, but she let Orbit take the lead which led to her elimination.
I like Kyungrim since she was both smart and funny. I also like how she was like a caring mom to everyone and cared about everyone like as if they were her kids. I kinda feel she was too generous with her pieces since she gave them out to a lot of people for example she gave her piece to Yumin so she can buy her way out of trouble in episode 9, but regretted it when she remembered how many pieces she had and how Seungkwan was in trouble, but barley had any pieces. Another example was in the second to last episode where she gave her piece to Joonbin for helping her, but it did cost her elimination during hi-lo since your pieces were your chips and she had less due to helping Joonbin.
I really liked Joonbin I felt he was both funny and smart since during the animal game he won along with Dongjoo, but he was smart enough to win the game by himself but by also relying on those who he worked with. I felt if Joonbin had more pieces then he could’ve made it to the Semifinals, but it was sad that he got eliminated, but I really liked how he played both by himself and in alliances with people and he did make the show more entertaining which I liked since sometimes the show would get very boring, but he would make it more entertaining.
I know I might be mean, but I didn’t really like Orbit. I felt he played a very weird game since his thing was that he was only there to save those who were struggling which means he will only help the underdogs and who he feels are top dogs he will not help. I felt him helping others didn’t do anything since in the end they all got eliminated and he moved into the finales. I will also say that he isn’t the most intelligent person in this season even though you would think since he was really quick at picking up things quickly, but I felt it ruined his game. I also didn’t like how he focused way to much on other people’s games that he helped them even if he meant he wouldn’t get any pieces, but I didn’t like it since they all used him for their game and to get ahead, but those who he helped couldn’t help themselves. I also feel at the last game which was hexagon he cost his own game by trying to catch up to Seokjin since he was too nervous and kept hitting the button even when he wasn’t 100% sure which was the worst thing you could do since when you get it wrong you lose points, but it’s the reason why Seokjin won since he only hit the button when he was 100% sure the answer was correct.
I had like a like-dislike relationship with Seewon since at times she would annoy me by asking everyone why they don’t want to work with her, but then acts really suspicious, but I liked her because she played the game to play the game and didn’t care too much about relationship except for with Seokjin. The reason why no one wanted to work with Seewon was because I felt Orbit didn’t want to work with her since she was considered a “top dog”, but honestly I wouldn’t want to work with her in challenges since she tries to work with everyone, but her working with everyone is getting everyone’s answers and having her and Seokjin work to get people out. But I do feel she played a rough game which is what I liked she she risked her life in her game to help Seokjin during their time in prison and she had to play the Gomeku game just so she can help Seokjin gain points.
Lastly, the winner of the Devils Plan which is Seokjin. I really liked him and I felt he was the smartest out of everyone and the person who played an amazing game. For example, even though he was in an alliance he was often working alone and always passed each game and got benefits since he helped himself instead of having to worry about 5 people at the same time like how Orbit did. Seokjin also played a rough game by trying to get everyone he can out so he can move on or get to where he needs to be for example in episode 9 he eliminated Yeonwoo just so he can go to prison with Seewon where in the previous episodes he and Seewon figured out that the prices can make a diamond/square and when Seewon was at jail he figured out BY himself that the pieces had a symbol after he heard that the prison has a keypad with numbers and on the pieces were words and from the words “Next Year” he figured out 2024 which was the code which lead to another room in the prison where you can get ten pieces and even though the game in the prison called Gomeku got Seewon eliminated it gave Seokjin the drive to beat the game and he won against an AI and gained 10 pieces which gave him a lead in the poker game and his smartness gave him even more pieces and chips during the poker game which led him to the semifinals. In the Semifinals he moved on by winning one game which in the Finals gave him an advantage like picking who goes first in I think Nine Men’s Morris where he won two times and in hexagon where he had an advantage of one point he was smart enough to remember the numbers which gave him points, but he was smarter to not hit the button and be greedy to get more points, but only hit he button when he was confident enough to gain a point which ultimately led to him winning the devils plan.
I honestly do recommend this show since it was very entertaining to watch and you can even watch it when you eat food and this show does make you think so it was even more fun, but I do feel if any other person won the devils plan I wouldn’t be as impressed as I was with Seokjin!
