Forget Squid Games: This 24 episode thriller will blow your mind, is trending on Netflix, the series is...
Forget Squid Games: This 24 episode thriller will blow your mind, is trending on Netflix, the series is... In the ever-evolving world of cinema, content is overflowing with an array of options available on OTT and every Friday release in theatres. However, in today's landscape, where the audience is spoilt for choice, they have a limited period; hence, they are always looking for something new and refreshing that can catch them off guard and provoke them to think. Amidst all the predictable thrillers and clichéd drama, one intense series has stood out that wouldn't just entertain the audience, but also make them think in a different direction. The series that we are talking about is none other than Netflix's new release, 'The Devil's Plan'. This is a Korean reality show that's currently making waves for its mind-boggling plot, which will provoke the audience to think and test their brain's thinking capacity. The first season of The Devil came in the year 2023. In this season, there were 12 contestants, each from a different professional background, like YouTubers, actors, singers, and logic game champions, who were locked inside a controlled space. Season two, released in May 2025, had 14 players and an even darker twist: The Devil's Plan: Death Room. In the series, human thinking capacity, morality, and cleverness are tested. This series is a psychological battlefield wrapped in gripping entertainment. The series is directed by a known name, Jung Jong-yeon. He is known for his other infamous series, like The Genius and The Great Escape. This mysterious series is set in the landscape of an old monastery-like space, where every wall tells a secret, and the audience gets to witness the unpredictable behaviour of players, keeping them hooked. The first season received a remarkable 8.3/10 on IMDb and praise for its game mechanics and player strategies. Though the second season received slightly mixed reactions — some viewers felt the team-based tasks hid individual strengths — it still dominated Netflix charts. It ranked No. 1 in South Korea and secured top-10 positions in 23 countries. With 24 episodes (12 in each season), and each running about 90 minutes, this series isn't one you'll casually watch. Once you start, there's a high chance you'll binge through it all. It's clever, unpredictable, and totally addictive. So if you thought Squid Game was unbeatable, think again. The Devil's Plan just might blow your mind and hijack your weekend.

Squid Game actor Yim Si-wan: I didn't read the script, I just knew I had to be in it
Korean singer and actor Yim Si-wan has built a strong filmography that showcases his range as a performer. Si-wan began his career as a member of the K-pop group ZE:A but it was his breakout role in The Attorney (2013) that earned him critical acclaim. Establishing himself as an actor with a knack for portraying complex and intense characters, he has since been part of several popular shows and films, including Misaeng (2014), Run On (2021), Emergency Declaration (2022), and Summer Strike (2023). Now, he returns in the final season of the mega-hit Squid Game. Si-wan plays Myung Gi, a.k.a. Player 333—a former cryptocurrency influencer whose misguided investment scheme results in heavy financial losses for both himself and his followers. On the run, Myung Gi enters the deadly game, only to come face to face with those he had wronged, including his now-pregnant former girlfriend, whom he had previously ghosted. The actor reveals that he tends to immerse himself deeply in the roles he plays—so much so that he carries his on-screen characters with him long after the shoot has ended. 'I'm not the type who can easily switch on and off—that is, go in and out of character. I carry my screen characters with me to a certain extent. Rather than detaching from them immediately, I find that these characters become part of me, etched into the fabric of my life.' In an exclusive interview with HT City, the actor shares that he accepted the part of Myung Gi without even reading the script, simply because he was a fan of Squid Game. 'The first time I saw the character of Myung Gi, he came across as someone who is constantly straddling the line between good and evil. But as the show progressed, he felt very human—someone who was not capable of making the right choices due to his greed. I think it's fair to say that he may not be purely evil, but rather, a foolish person.' Si-wan says that his takeaway from playing Myung Gi is that one should neither be too greedy nor make foolish investments out of greed. One of the most sought-after actors of his generation, the 36-year-old Si-wan is also listed among the Korean actors who represent the present and future of cinema. Having lent his voice to soundtracks for The King in Love, Tracer, and Boyhood, would Si-wan contemplate the possibility of an Indian collaboration? 'Going forward as an actor, I wish to continue to wrestle with my characters, make every effort to portray them diligently, and continue developing myself. One day, I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to perform in India,' he signs off with a smile.
