2. Why are there so many malicious comments? Is it because it’s an emotional narrative rather than a survival story?

(1) Yoon So-hee, who called Hyun-gyu ‘cat’

Yoon So-hee called Jung Hyun-gyu "cat" during the broadcast, and viewers felt a strong sense of incongruity in this scene. In particular, the suspicion of a romantic relationship was further amplified because it was a nickname that came out naturally between them after only meeting for a week.

(2) The statement, “I’ve figured out your personality”

During the broadcast, Yoon So-hee said, “I completely figured out Hyun-gyu’s personality,” and expressed their natural rapport as if they were lovers.

Due to the nature of the program, the participants are supposed to keep an eye on each other and read each other, but he was criticized for showing a lax attitude only to Jeong Hyeon-gyu .

(3) Jeong Hyeon-gyu, shocking to learn that he actually has a girlfriend

Outside of broadcasting, it is known that Jung Hyun-gyu currently has a girlfriend, and after this fact was revealed, the emotional exchanges shown on the broadcast became even more controversial. Some viewers responded by saying, "It's a lie," and "Whether it's acting or sincerity, both are problematic."

This broadcast has added fuel to the fire of rumors about Hyun Gyu and Hae Eun's breakup.

✔️ In almost all key scenes, such as peace supply and deathmatch strategy, Yoon So-hee only provides 'help'

✔️ In the final, despite the coin tie, Yoon So-hee gave up the match and handed the victory to Jeong Hyeon-gyu.

4. Kingmaker Yoon So-hee, "I would have preferred a solo final"

In particular, Yoon So-hee took on the role of kingmaker, making Jung Hyun-gyu the main character throughout the show. In every episode, she strategized or expressed her emotions around him, and in the end, Jung Hyun-gyu won.

This flow left some viewers feeling tired rather than moved.

5. Summary of viewers' reactions to the Devil's Plan 2 winner

Conclusion: Immersion is more important than winning

<Devil's Plan 2> was certainly praised as the 'best survival show ever' in the beginning of the season. However, the prevailing opinion is that the suspicion of a relationship between Jung Hyun-gyu and Yoon So-hee, the flow of emotions rather than games, and the alliance without strategy rather than loyalty, these three elements greatly reduced the immersion of the ending.

If there is a Season 3, there are growing voices from fans who want it to focus on thrilling strategic battles rather than player-to-player emotions.
