The Devil’s Plan Season 1 Episode 1 – 4 (Korean drama)
From producer-director Jeong Jong-yeon (The Genius, The Great Escape), The Devil’s Plan brings together 12 savvy contestants to face off in mind-bending games of wit and strategy to determine who’s the brainiest of them all. They need to be cunning, they need to create alliances, they might even need to backstab — and they’re all stuck together 24/7 without their phones. Think Survivor, but it’s a chess game that takes place in a house with bedrooms that double as jail cells. Oh, and an anonymous masked man with a creepy pixelated face hosts the show.
Read on to find out which smarty-pants made it onto the show — yes, there was an entrance exam — and what the game’s all about.

What happens in The Devil’s Plan?
For one week, 12 contestants live — and compete against each other — in a huge rectangle built inside a soundstage that serves as their living space. Their accommodations look hip at first glance, but these walls have secrets. Over the course of seven days, participants compete in battles of intelligence twice a day until the final round, when one of them is crowned victor and rakes in all the prize money. (More on that below.) In this game, they can do absolutely everything and anything they want — without violence or stealing — in order to win.
