Netizens are discussing the #1 show on Netflix Korea.

On an online forum, netizens enthusiastically shared their thoughts on the show 'The Devil's Plan,' which is enjoying major success with its second season. Viewers praised the overall quality of the program, highlighting the well-designed games and tightly-knit casting, with "no one showing an underwhelming performance" or being left out.

They commented on the show’s addictive nature and noted that there’s a clear reason for its popularity. The cast members consistently demonstrate intelligence and, according to many, even outperform those from Season 1.

The program premiered globally on Netflix on May 6. The first four episodes were released in the first week, followed by episodes 5 to 9 in week two, and episodes 10 to 12 in week three.

In Season 2, a total of 14 contestants enter a 7-day game, putting their brains and wits to the test to determine who is the smartest player. 

The lineup features a mix of high-profile figures and civilians, including Go legend Lee Sedol, announcer Gang Ji Young, KAIST graduate and actress Yoon So Hee, professional poker player and music producer Seven High, former Miss Korea winner and university student Lee Seung Hyun, Seoul National University graduate and influencer Jeong Hyun Gyu, KAIST graduate and model Choi Hyun Joon, actor Justin H, Min, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, singer Chuu, and civilian contestants Kim Ha Rin, Park Sang Yeon, Son Eun Yoo, and YouTuber Tino.

The show promises a thrilling competition where only the sharpest minds will survive and compete for a grand prize of up to 500 million KRW (390,573 USD).

Netizen reactions include:

"Ridiculously fun"


"Crazy fun—it’s absolutely insane"


"It’s so good I binge-watched the whole thing in one go..."


"Tuesday, hurry up and get here!"


"It's actually watchable because there’s no one acting like a self-righ
teous angel."


"So freaking fun..."


"It’s insanely fun. The entire cast is so likable lol"


"I hope Lee Sedol makes it to the final week—he plays the game so well lol"


"This is my first time watching a survival show like this and it is soooo good. Can’t wait for the next episode ㅠㅠ"


"So fun, I’m just waiting for Tuesday now"


"I started watching because I heard Lee Sedol’s character is funny, and it really is"


"It’s so fun. I should’ve waited and binge-watched... It’s hard to wait ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"


"This season is really fun lol"


"The games are hard to understand at first, but everyone is so good at them"


"All the cast members are intense—some are just enjoying the game, but no one is trolling and everyone pulls their weight, so it’s awesome"


"This is great. Glad there aren’t any 'bus passengers' who try to freeload like last time"


"Not everything’s been released yet, right?? I’ll wait until all episodes are out and binge it"


"I started watching because of people recommending it here, and it’s fun. Everyone’s good at the game, and while I support Lee Sedol, I like the other contestants too"


"The female cast members have a strong presence lol. Honestly, if it had been only guys, some comments might have been off-putting, but it feels fresh coming from the women"


"This is ridiculously fun. The editing is great and the episode cuts off at the perfect moment lol"


"I have to go to work next week but I swear I might stay up all night. How am I supposed to wait ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please let Lee Sedol survive to week 2 ㅜㅜ"


"It’s so fun lol. No overly stressful characters, but tons of competitive ones—it’s perfect to watch"
"All the contestants are smart, and no one’s just coasting, which makes it even better"


"You can tell everyone is trying to pull their weight instead of freeloading, and it’s awesome"


"The game sounds complicated when explained, but once you see it in action, it makes sense—and it’s so good lol. There are more people completely immersed in the game this time, and they’re skilled and smart, so it’s entertaining"


"Seriously insanely fun... I’m waiting for Tuesday like my life depends on it"


"It’s amazing. First of all, the game quality is top notch"
