The title of my review sums up this excellent show. If you had told me that I would be emotionally invested in a game of maths equation poker, I would have laughed at you.
South Korea seems to produce some excellent quality shows. In the last year I have watched Physical 100, Siren Survive the Island and now this. Each one is better than the last.
Devils Plan treats the viewer with respect and trusts itself enough to know that while the games are complicated, the viewer will either pick it up or be entertained anyway. I really love the relationships built in the show, I loved the secret in the Prison and the discovery of the word in the pieces. The games were so excellently designed, most of them I would love to play myself.
By the end I was punching the air and rooting for the person I wanted to win to win (they did) and I got emotional through many parts, but the poker game got to me, IYKYK.
I can't wait for a season 2.
