The future development of “The Devil’s Gambit”has been established almost from the first viral game. Li Siyuan will form an alliance with Kim Dongjae and Guillaume, who are also in the villain lineup. The rest of the people, except for Ha Xichen who relies on himself, almost all ask for help. The track of “protecting the weak”is getting closer. Later, because Guillaume and Jin Dongzai were eliminated one after another, Li Siyuan approached He Xichen, who had always wanted to join forces…

Two major alliances gradually formed, led by Li Siyuan and He Xichen, and Orbital and Xu Dongzhu. He Xichen also slowly realized what he had said – proving that Orbital’s welfare state model and the parasitic alliance were wrong. As the contestants were gradually eliminated, Ha Xichen and Orbital were left to make it to the finals, becoming the epitome of the battle between capitalism and socialism.

In the end, “Hagong”(Ha Seok-chen + University of Engineering) Ha Seok-chen won the victory. The ending can be said to be not surprising, but it would not be surprising if it were on track or if Seo Dong-joo, who entered the semi-finals, won. Surprised. Regarding He Gong’s victory, many netizens commented that He Gong was very happy and well-deserved, saying that He Gong was really handsome! It is precisely because Ha Xichen has indeed proved that the ideal of orbit is “not ideal”, and the approach of orbit makes the game lose more variety and visibility. He Gong was able to win in the end, and the link where he was sent to prison to get 10 pice with a stroke of genius was also a masterpiece. With multiple pice, he was still the “strong one”in the eyes of Guigui and Dongzhu until the end, and It is difficult for the “weak ones”to match.

However, some people think that the track has actually achieved its goal. It is not easy to have up to seven people on the semi-final “digital comparison”poker table. Also, after a few games, even if he did not show a strong sense of competition and never put his own interests first, he could always reverse the disadvantage and let himself pass safely, but he still failed at the last moment., the end result of helping others is insufficient peace and losing the starting point.

In addition to the two contestants Ha Gong and Guiguo who made it to the finals, Seo Dong-joo, Lee Si-won, Kim Dong-jae, Guillaume… and others also have their own popularity. Even if they are not the favorites in the finals, they are the ones who netizens lamented were eliminated too early. In terms of expertise, poker player Kim Dong-jae should sit on the semi-final table, while chess player Zhao Juanyou should go to prison to challenge blind chess. It was unexpected that Xu Dong-joo would be eliminated early due to a mistake in the semi-finals, otherwise if she entered In the finals, one cannot necessarily lose to Hegong based on his amazing memory. It is also a pity that Shenghuan and Guo Junbin exhausted their abilities at the poker table for a long time and were eliminated, and Li Siyuan sacrificed his life to devote to Hegong.

However, the most criticized aspect of the entire show is the casting. In addition to the “Parasitic League”mentioned above, which reduces the game’s viewing ability, many people also suggested that the contestants should not be allowed to sleep together. The result of sharing the room is that they will have feelings for each other. It is easy to create fierce competition, and some people say that too large an age gap is also a mistake. It can easily lead to the elderly wanting to take care of the younger, while the younger does not dare to directly deal with the older.

What other insights do you have about “The Devil’s Gambit”? Are you convinced by this ending? Or who do you prefer to reach the finals and win the championship? If there is a second season, what can we expect?
