The Devil's Plan is a reality game show featuring highly intelligent individuals and advanced level games.
It's normal in Asia to have famous people (actors, YouTubers, etc) participating in game shows rather than the average Joe.
First off, the games are no joke. They are complex, designed to challenge high IQ individuals. You might need to rewatch the game explanations several times to understand the strategies employed by the participants, tho you will probably catch on naturally by watching the games unfold.
There are some high level elements that's just a touch of genius that I can't get into without spoiling it. The level of detail in the hints, and the fact that some of the participants catch on, is amazing. I'll just leave it at: The Safe. You'll know what I mean when you get to it.
Finally, the twists, lies and betrayals are fun to watch.
Very good show. Not just a reality show based on personality clashes, but one of smart people trying to outsmart each other while seeming amicable and polite, very East Asian! I truly enjoyed this show.

This show is surprisingly good and enjoyable. I thought it's gonna be just another reality show I have on as a background noise, but this show delivered so much more. The drama and rivalry among contestants kept things interesting. The dynamics between the players keeps me invested and waiting for the next episode.
Now, some of the games can be a bit tricky and quite complicated to follow. At times, I've skipped the long explanations part and just watch the game played out. Surprisingly, watching things unfold often makes more sense than wading through the exam style rules. Overall, The combination of drama, strategy, and heartfelt moments makes this show a must-watch for me.

Watching episode 1 made me jump out of my seat. The concept is so different, people are so intelligent, smart and unpredictable, it's like I'm watching a thriller movie. It's interesting to see how outcome changes with everyone's actions. An amazing show and you guys must watch it if you're into solving puzzles and collecting **pieces**.
You'll get to see different kind of people, acting differently in various scenario, how alliances are made and how betrayal happen.
Day 1 which makes two episode of it was completed package, the jealousy, competitiveness, teamwork, trust, distrust - I just can't wait for more episodes....

Anybody going into this looking for the typical American, Big Brother type show is going to be disappointed. This is not a bunch of brainless people who say "like" every other word, or competitions where people stand against a wall and get rained on. THIS show is intelligence based. The games are crazily complex. Yes, the instructons are very long-winded and complicated, but once the gameplay starts, you can pick up on the concepts fairly quickly. Every contestant on the show is extremely intelligent, and I found something to like about each and every person. I even found myself getting quite emotional every time someone had to leave. I was hooked from beginning to end! Very hopeful for a second season!
I was done with those reality shows where the temp in the room is higher than the avg is. It is a breath of fresh air to see both intellectual with good emotional intellect, playing the games without constantly betraying each other or being mean and all over the place. Such a wholesome group of people with genuine interaction, strategies.
I particularly loved the games designs, their ingenuity and how it all comes together. There was no smart exploit that ruins it for one player, it was either you're good in a field needed or you aren't. No tricks. They pushed all the participants to their limits making them all likeable as they displayed weaknesses to each other.

This show is bonkers! And I'm hooked!
It felt authentic and unlike other competition reality shows. This series focuses on mental strength rather than physical ability, so it's chalk full of brainy players. The contestants all seem to have different plans and strategies to reach the end.
The first game the contestants play made me laugh pretty hard. Not the actual game, but the explanation on how to play. The announcer begins to explain the rules and it starts out simple. But the explanation continues with more rules and more rules and then even more rules. About 7 minutes into the explanation for playing the game, it felt like satire! If you watch this for no other reason, it's worth it to see how complicated and elaborate the rules for the game become...it's genuinely one of the most insane things I've ever seen on a competition reality show.
With that said, even without understanding the rules to the game, it was a lot of fun to watch.
This show is nuts in the best way. I'm fully onboard to watch it until the end!

Let me start by saying that I loved the show from start to finish. The intro theme to each episode is extremely catchy and fun. Totally sets the tone for the show and what you are supposed to expect.
The cast was excellent they all had their own strengths and personalities. Each of them felt unique and personable in their own right.
The games were challenging but not difficult to understand. If you are looking for shows with mysteries/puzzles you should at least expect them to offer novel puzzles that can keep both the audience and the players on their toes. I appreciate that the creator, director, producers felt confident enough to hold the audience to a standard. If you are looking to watch something that microwaves your brain into mush, like most other shows on netflix, this is not the show for you.
The game itself, overall, never leaned too hard on either side of cooperation or direct competition. This is perhaps the biggest reason the game felt so balanced. The challenges ranged from highly cooperative to much more individualistic.
The Devil's Plan is leagues above other game-shows like Big Brother, The Amazing Race...
I enjoyed the whole show, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. I highly recommend it and hope that it gets 10 more seasons with hopefully more novel games, intricate puzzles, and with just as interesting and personable of a cast.

We've become accustomed to how reality games like this work. Deceit, betrayal-- it's all fair. We might tut-tut, but part of the fun of these shows is that opportunity for self-righteousness: how could they do that? I would never! And we believe that, behind the scenes, the producers are doing whatever they can to promote that drama. It makes for engaging viewing. Of course, the producers like to keep mum about it; they'd rather we judge the contestants for any moral failings, not the show for incentivizing them.
Devil's Plan is a little different. It explicitly invites deceit from the beginning. The plan is to turn the contestants themselves into devils. But is it possible that DP is not playing completely above the table here? Is it possible that DP's goal is instead to demonstrate how clever one must be to be a saint?
The heart of DP are two games played daily. The first, ostensibly competitive, pits players against each other in cleverly designed games that include challenges both mental and social. If they win, they gain or lose "pieces" which allow them to remain in the game-- when they lose their last piece, contestants are eliminated. The second game of the day, explicitly cooperative, raises the prize pool.
But there are hidden games as well. Unbidden, contestants discover new puzzles in their environment. What is the prize for solving these challenges? On this, our show's hosts are, so far, silent.
DP is a game about puzzles, and if you like good puzzles, I think you'll like to play along-- DP certainly invites you to, never revealing secret information until the game is already won or lost. The cooperative puzzles are somewhat interesting, but purely mental in nature. But where the game shines is in its "competitive" puzzles. Why the quote marks? Because these puzzles typically contain carefully designed (and carefully shrouded) Prisoner's Dillemmas. If you like to solve puzzles the wrong way, if you've ever heard, "Yeah, okay, but I don't think you're supposed to play the game that way," then you'll love these puzzles, because I'm pretty sure DP's designers really, really want us to solve them the wrong way. (We home viewers can think about the rules at leisure, finding the creative solutions, but unfortunately, DP's contestants are not yet finding all the strategies. Their schedule is strict.)
For people who are not into puzzles-- particularly, not into political puzzles-- there is probably not much here, just another reality show. But for me, there's a lot, and I'm greatly looking forward to the rest of the season.

This is one of the best reality shows I've ever seen. It kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time, the cast was very likeable and by the end of the show I felt I had watched all of them for months. Every individual player had enough screen-time, so by the end I knew them so well and felt heartbroken when some of my favorites left. High steaks, high emotions, super interesting games that I would love to try playing. Season 2 would probably even be more interesting, because the contestants will know what to expect and will probably be a bit more cutthroat. I'm convinced anyone who doesn't like this just doesn't have the mental capacity to follow the rules of the games and the strategies implemented by the players... there is simply no other explanation 😂

#TheDevilsPlan is a 10/10 🌟 This... is the reality show we want! I am just browsing for new tv-shows to watch and got bumped into this. Games are wild! Yet they started with alliances that makes the cast separated within entire season 1 but that how really things work in real world, we people surround ourselves with the people who we want us to be. That's why I love it how it turns.
Emotions are pure, i know watchers felt it too deeply and get emotionally attached to cast. They really play their roles so awesome! The cast are fantastic, and for the people who add music to it YALL DID WELL! It really fires up the show! Binge-worthy 💯

The most commendable aspect of this show is its ability to showcase the genuine emotions and intellect of the candidates. Unlike many reality shows, Devil Plans avoids the theatrics and instead focuses on the raw, unfiltered talent of its participants. It's refreshing to witness the contestants' dedication and their inventive thinking processes.
Devil Plans Reality Show is a must-watch for anyone who loves mathematics, craves intellectual challenges, and appreciates genuine emotions. It's a thought-provoking and engaging series that keeps you on the edge of your seat while celebrating the brilliance of its contestants.

Some brainy people are invited to stay in a big house and compete in mental games for a chance to win a sack of money.
The games are complex (which I love) and each game has about five minutes of rules explenation - my wife would switch off for these bits - but it doesn't matter as a voice-over provides tips on what is going on.
The characters are great and it really is moving when one is eliminated.
The format has some interesting kinks in it: like the "pieces" the players can obtain.
This isn't a straight forward "you lose you go home" affair - you can come last and be fine and come second and be eliminated.
I was at the very edge of my seat on several occasion.
Please, please, please renew this!
Season 2 Is a big step down.
They really leaned into the social element. On each game groups formed and picked on individuals.
Imagine playing a game of Monopoly where the only goal is to prevent one player winning.
Everyone else trades properties, let's each other of rent and purposely ruins the victims sets.
This makes for a tedious and unpleasant time.
It is still good and there are moments of tension but often you have to sit through a hour long game where the winner was decided in the first few minutes.

When i knew about this show i didn't expect much of it, just to fill my free time haha but unexpectedly this show was very fun and consumed my time. The very first game really pulled my interest to continue to watch. A little bit like The Genius, also korean show about 10 years before i guess.
Honestly there was a couple of game that really hard to understand for me, was very complicated but i liked the thrill during it. I think it needed someone with high level of understanding to understand the way the game played or maybe the subtitle wasn't really accurate.
If you're a fan of survival games and you think you're smart, love to binge watch, i guess this show would really match for you and you could try to watch it.
I think i'd love to watch 2nd season if there is any.

I really enjoyed season one and season two started out really well but by the time it got to like episode six or seven I really checked out. Some of the games that they played I don't think they were meant to be played the way they were on the show with people teaming up on each other and acting stupid over who's gonna win and who's gonna lose it would be a whole lot better if everybody went into the show and played it with integrity rather than whining and crying about who betrayed who and all this other stuff it just didn't seem like the show that it was in season one. Some of the people in the show actually wanted to play the proper way but others just didn't so they teamed up and pretty much guaranteed whoever was gonna make it to the finals that's what was bad about season two. So if you don't like stuff like that it might not be for you. I didn't like it as much after that.
For everyone who loves mind-bending games and unpredictable twists. The visuals and soundtrack are perfect aswell. The graphics explained the games and sometimes, small informations were representated visually which made it much more satisfying to watch. For the games, i enjoyed every single one ( except one which was a bit boring and confusing, but luckily it was the shortest game ). On top of that, the real stuff is not only in the game but outside of the games where more secrets and crazy stuff is hidden. Expected an simple korean game show but it got sooo deep and crazy! Alot of twists and awesome emotional moments. If you love complicated games, very unexpected moments and a bit of some "who can i trust" vibe, then thats an easy 10/10. It didnt even felt like an real show anymore it felt like an really thrilling tv series. Just wow.

Season one was great. Season 2 was unwatchable. Having a majority alliance team up and hose everyone is totally anathema for good cinema or stories. Depicting real life by showing the strong get stronger and the morally bankrupt rule may be life but it's miserable to watch!
In season one we had the self righteous Orbit lead a team of drones against a few independent Maverick's and a few went to jail with both a huge upside or downside.
Season 2 had none of the good drama of the first season. Really, who wants the villain to win? Sad that the show could be a great way to show how ridiculous western values can be: championing the stupid, good looking and drugged up replaced with the smart and those who have studied and sacrificed for their careers and life. It could show such a stark contrast and explain why Asians are so ahead of the rest in real world matters and show that getting ahead in life by your own grit and work is what makes the difference instead of the color of your skin. Teaching anyone that they have no chance because of their race or gender is just wrong. Season 2 blew it!

At first I thought this was just a squid game ripoff, but I was intrigued when I found out that it was a reality show.
All of the contestants are genuinely interesting, intelligent people and it's so much fun to watch them try and tackle the challenges thrown at them.
The games that they play are so complex that I admittedly had to rewind more than a few times to really get some of them. I love that they didn't shy away from designing games that were really and truly challenging and required a delicate balance of social game + out of the box thinking.
You can tell that there was a lot of effort put into this show, and I hope that it receives the attention it deserves so that we can get a second season!
