Unexpectedly mind-blowingly good!

I have never written a review on MDL and I don't really watch reality shows, but I just had to write this.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS SHOW!

Massive spoilers ahead but this is honestly all you need to know. This is absolutely the most entertaining and most brilliant show I've watched in a long time and you shouldn't miss it!

I honestly didn't know what the show is even about. It was just trending on Netflix so I clicked. But boy was that the best decision ever. It honestly felt like a full blown directed show with all the twists and surprises. Like plenty of jaw drop moments especially the second half, and mostly the amazingness of this show comes from the brilliance of its participants. Mainly Ha Seokjin!

-This is where spoilers start-

The only familiar face when I first started the show was him so I was low key rooting for him from the start just because he was the most familiar (didn't really know him that well as an actor). The moment he teamed up with Siwon and Dongjae though, I was pretty much on their side all the way because they were outnumbered (3 vs 11 lol) and they were honestly the underdogs because alliance was a big thing in the game and I wanted them to win. But even when Dongjae was eliminated, Seokjin and Siwon's party of two worked perfectly together.

Honestly, I have now become Seokjin's fan! I really liked how when people panicked and started conniving and backstabbing and begging, Seokjin remained calm and just stuck to his own thing. And he is legit a genius! I loved watching him piece together the Pieces to a cube, decoding its secret message and cracking the code of the safe. I loved how he freaking solved the prison ring puzzle pretty much the moment he touched it LMAO.

The finals really lived up to its name. It was the match of the century as one of the other participants said. I've never really liked Orbit and their group (except for Dong Joo mostly because of how she singlehandedly answered all the 10 questions to the memory game - the third highlight of the show by the way) but you have to give credit where its due. The guy is legit a comeback champion. He was practically dead in the poker game and using his last chip, he managed to unbury himself and even finished as a finalist. And during the Nine Morris game, I got nervous right away when he one upped Seokjin when Seokjin was supposed to have the advantage. And even on the hexagon game (I don't even know how they managed to keep memorizing numbers after numbers with all that stress and pressure), he managed to make a comeback from a deficit of five and tied with Seokjin just in time for the final round. Like how was that possible. Even though I've never rooted for him, he was a worthy opponent for Seokjin and a deserving finalist.

Fortunately, Ha Seokjin was the better "fighter". Their finals showdown was everything. Before he turned the table on the Nine Morris game, everyone was thinking of the same moves (including me) and I even questioned what he was doing. But this brilliant man had a much better plan. It was pretty much over for Orbit when Seokjin managed to work out the real strategy for the game. Honestly, Seokjin had so many surprises. The unexpected play during the semifinals was mind-blowing. To think he had managed to get him and Siwon end up on prison on the freaking last day just to crack the safe and play the secret game. It was the second highlight of the show. Only the people with lowest number of pieces get to go to prison and to think Seokjin (who was mostly at the top of the leaderboard for majority of the time) had managed to maneuver everything and get not only himself but also his only true ally in prison. I can't stop thinking about that moment.

But THE highlight of all highlights is when Seokjin solved the secret game itself. It was such a freaking difficult game and when I thought he already lost, he actually won. The fact that he did all that on 3-4 hours of sleep even. I think just based on that alone, Seokjin was already the winner of the whole game, because he was the only person to have experienced and played every aspect of the games in the Devil's Plan.

It is truly a blessing for the viewers to have someone as capable as Ha Seokjin to follow and root for in this amazingly awesome show! Anyway, if you've reached this part, please watch it still because the feeling is different when you see it in action even when you've already been spoiled lol
