Metanoia

Synopsis: Shin Na-young a 28 year old marine biologist after finding out her fiancé cheated on her with her cousin Kwak Hee-mi, her heart broke into billions of pieces and she swore that if she had other relationships that she would not fall in love and she would break them before they would break her. She lost all faith in love, and she decides to drown her sadness and anger at a bar where she gets drunk and gets entangled with an important person in the business industry. She has a one night stand with the man and it’s then she realizes that she had a one night stand with her boss who owns the research that she works at. Her boss is automatically fallen in love with her, but she hasn’t so it’s up to him to convince her to give a second chance. 

This is a story I’m writing as a project. I hope you like.

True love, a timeless and universal concept that everyone can relate to. But, love at times can be awful and painful.

I myself was in love once. I thought it was true love. I thought we were simply meant to be.....but I guess I was the only one living in a fool's paradise.

Because after I found both my cousin Kwak Hee-mi and my son to be husband Hyun Seung-hwan together in our house in our bedroom....I was heartbroken.

I called off the engagement and continued to pursue my career in marine science to try and forget about him....but no one ever forgets their first love.

Love is nothing but a joke, a feeling that will only break your heart in the long run. And now....my heart is as cold as ice.

Mercilessly turning men down or breaking up with them first before they ever get a chance to either hurt me or just grow tired of me.

A few months ago:

I had fish to fry once again. I already knew my current boyfriend Song Myung-bak was cheating on me with Hee-mi.

I was always one step ahead whenever I found out he was slipping up a few weeks ago. Today I was out with my ¹Seonbaes in the ocean near the port of Gunsan. Jae-seung and I were swimming around looking for the leatherback sea turtle.

"²YAH! YAH! JAE-SEUNG AH! NA-YOUNG AH!" Yelled Cho Chang-woo with worry as he was concerned for their well being.

"³Hyung! It's okay! Don't panic! They're wearing oxygen tanks, remember?" Spoke Do Won-Sul calmly trying to calm Chang-woo down.

"I know! But it just terrifies me that they've been underwater for so long looking for that damn sea turtle!" Replied Chang-woo with worry.

"Oh come on Hyung! Look at where we are! We're at the ocean! Relaxing with our Hubae who owns a boat! And might I add that it's a yatch! And she's letting us have it for a whole month's vacation! Isn't it exciting?" Replied So Kyung-ho with excitement as he reeled in a fish.

"Yeah Hyung! Come on in! The water is fine!" Spoke Hwan Hae-il and Yeo Jong-soo in a relaxed state as they floated in the water with their doughnut floats.

Chang woo looked at them all with an annoyed look. "We already work in the ocean you idiots! Y'all treat our job like an everyday vacation you lazy brats! Plus I'm not a big fan of the ocean which is why I worry for Jae-seung and Na-young!" Replied Chang-woo firmly.

"Yah! Jae-seung ah! Na-young ah! It's time for dinner!" Yelled Kim Kwang-min at the top of his lungs catching Jae-seung's attention.

Jae-seung hears Kwang-min calling them and he turns to Na-young signaling her that it's time to go in which she nods her head slightly whilst giving him a thumbs up. Jae-seung and Na-young explode out of the water flipping their hair back looking like a beautiful merman and mermaid.

"Come on Na-young ⁴ssi! Kwang-min Hyung made ⁵Gopchang-gui and ⁶Kimchi!" Spoke Jae-seung with a charming smile as he ran his hand through his Carmel brown hair.

Na-young only gives him a small smile. "Sorry Jae-seung....but I can't join you guys for dinner today. There's....something I have to take care of." Replied Na-young placidly as she put on some mini shorts and then she dried her long, flowy, wavy jet black hair with a towel.

Jae-seung and the other's look at her with furrowed brows. They all know exactly why she's leaving. They already knew that her boyfriend was cheating on her and they didn't want her to think about it, which is the reason why they asked her to stay with them. But she refused.

"Na-young ssi.......are you leaving because of him? He's-"

"Jae-seung ah....I know you and everyone else know about Myung-bak cheating on me with Hee-mi. But you must understand that I'm going there to end things with him and I won't have mercy on him. So don't worry about it too much, okay? After all, I do know self defense thanks to Young-jae oppa." She says with a small smile on her face.

"Na-young ssi? Young-jae Hyung is on the phone for you!" Spoke Hae-il casually as he pointed at the boat's phone.

"Seonbae....tell him I'll call him later.....I'll see you guys another time. Have fun on the yacht! Take all the time you need, there's no hurry." She says with a small smile as she gets on her motorcycle and she drives away.

"Na-young!-"

"Enough Jae-seung. She has to finish this on her own. We can't meddle in this affair even if we want to tear Myung-bak apart." Replied Chang-woo firmly with a sigh as he and the others went to go eat.

Jae-seung could only watch Na-young drive away. He clenched his fists tightly as he turned to join the others for dinner.

I knew what I was expecting when I got home. But somehow watching it all unfold right in front of me hurt so much but all I felt was rage towards these two scumbags.

I slammed the door to our bedroom open in which they both jolted in surprise. Myung-bak was under the sheets of the bed towering over Hee-mi who continued to act all innocent.

"Na-young! Baby! I-Thought you were-" but before Myung-bak could finish his sentence I violently slapped him across the face once making sure that it hurt like a bitch and left a big red mark on his face.

"CUT THE BULLSHIT SONG MYUNG-BAK! PACK ALL OF YOUR STUFF! I WANT YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!" I bellowed with fury as I looked at him with rage.

Myung-bak grabbed at his face as he stared daggers at me for slapping him. "WHY YOU CONNIVING WENCH! HOW DARE YOU-"

"I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE DIRE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU EVER CHEATED ME! YOU VIOLATED THE CONTRACT AND FOR THAT YOU MUST PAY SEVERELY!" I continued to bellow with rage. Hee-mi only smiled in amusement as she was enjoying seeing us fight.

Myung-bak still looked at me with rage. And he acted as if he didn't remember our dating contract. "WHAT FUCKING CONTRACT!? I DON'T REMEMBER EVER SIGNING ONE!" feigned Myung-bak acting as if he didn't remember about the contract.

"You really want to play this game? Fine! Here's a copy of the contract that you signed. Look at line 5 of the contract you simpleton." I replied firmly as she threw him the contract.

Myung-bak grabbed the the papers and he reads line 5 out loud. "Line 5. If a so -called boyfriend becomes unfaithful to party one (Shin Na-young) or what they (party one) think is unfaithful, party two (Song Myung-bak) must collect his things and leave. But before party two (Song Myung-bak) can leave he must also return everything thing they took from party one (Shin Na-young) with or without permission, this includes treasured valuables, expensive items, money, etc. party two (Song Myung-bak) will also stop getting assistance from party one (Shin Na-young) and their family on party two's (Song Myung-bak's) company and will be shut down immediately due to party two's (Song Myung-bak's) Malevolent ambitions etc. Therefore, party two (Song Myung-bak) is no longer associated with party one (Shin Na-young) nor party one's (Shin Na-young’s) family. WHAT!? YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!-"

"I JUST FUCKING DID! FOR FIVE PAINSTAKING YEARS YOU'VE TREATED ME LIKE SHIT! YOU HAVE A LOT OF DEBT THAT YOU OWE ME...SINCE YOU HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PAY ME BACK BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO, YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM MY LAWYER AND YOU KNOW HOW MERCILESS YOUNG-HO OPPA IS AS A LAWYER ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MESS WITH ME HIS LITTLE SISTER." I bellowed with fury as I stared at Myung-bak with a cold glare.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME! YOU WOULDN'T BE WHERE YOU ARE TODAY! YOU NEVER NOT ONCE PAID ATTE-"

"WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS SICK FROM ANEMIA? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS STRUGGLING MENTALLY FROM MY DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY WITH ALL THE STRESS I HAD WITH MY OLD JOB? WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHEN I WAS DISCRIMINATED AND TREATED UNJUSTLY AT MY OLD JOB!? I WAS THE ONLY ONE TRYING IN THIS ONE-SIDED RELATIONSHIP! I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERED OUR ANNIVERSARIES! I TRIED TO SPICE UP OUR LIFE BUT YOU WERE TOO BUSY PLAYING FIND THE CANNOLI WITH THIS BITCH! WHEN YOU HAD SOMETHING ALWAYS TROUBLING YOU I WAS THERE! YOU MADE ME MISERABLE AND LIKE AN IDIOT I STILL LOVED YOU..... AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT I'M DOING RETURNING YOUR KARMA. DOESN'T FEEL GOOD BEING TREATED THE WAY YOU TREATED ME NOW DOES IT? THAT MUST SUCK FOR YOU. YOU HAVE 12 HOURS TO GET ALL YOUR THINGS AND GO BEFORE A DEMOLISHING COMPANY COMES AND DESTROYS THE HOUSE." I growled with fury as I continued to give him a cold indifferent glare.

"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Growled Myung-bak as he then reached for my neck when suddenly he was thrown back to the wall crashing into it.

I turned around and saw my eldest brother Young-Jae breathing heavily with rage. Young-Jae oppa is an MMA fighter and he punched Myung-bak in the gut so hard that it knocked him out.

"O-OPPA!" I yelled with shock as I saw my eldest brother seething with rage.

"NO ONE LAYS A FUCKING FINGER ON MY BABY SISTER! ESPECIALLY A PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A MAN LIKE YOU! GRAAAAH!" Growled Young-jae as he charged towards Myung-bak grabbing him by his collar and punching him violently in the face.

As Young-jae was about to punch Myung-bak once more. I stepped in and grabbed onto Young-jae's arm trying my best to stop him from delivering the blow.

"OPPA! STOP! HE'S NOT WORTH IT! LET'S GO HOME! PLEASE!" I yelled desperately trying to calm him down.

Young-jae looked back at me as I gave him a pleading look and he sighed heavily in defeat. He drops Myung-bak on his bottom and then he turns to look at Hee-mi who continues to look on with a mocking smile throughout the whole ordeal. This enrages my elder brother even more but I step in with my back turned to him as I give Hee-mi an icy indifferent glare.

"Awe! What is it cousin Na-young? Are you angry because I keep ruining your relationships? It's not my fault they think you're nothing but an ugly potato and a worthless nobody. It's not my fault that I'm so beautiful and most wanted of all." Smirks Hee-mi smugly as she twirls a few strands of hair with her fingers.

"YAH!" Bellowed Young-jae with a wrathful expression.

I held up my hand to stop my older brother from trying to tear Hee-mi apart as I looked back at him with a death stare. Young-jae only sighed and nodded his head. I turned my attention back to Hee-mi.

"Kwak Hee-mi...you only ever brought me pain and I'm sick of it. To say I tolerate you is a vast overstatement. For 8 years you kept tormenting me and I still don't why but I won't let a cheap expired coupon like you try to bring me down again. The only reason I let you get this far is for more of the reason to expose you." I reply firmly as I now grab Hee-mi's hair and I pull her hair down in which Hee-mi begins to panic seeing how freakishly strong I am.

"This is my one and final warning that I'm giving you....back off before you really wreck yourself! And I'll tell you this right now, you keep this up and you're really going to see what I'm made of and I won't have mercy! You're the reason why the gene pool needs a lifeguard." I replied indifferently as I threw Hee-mi back violently to the wall. She looked terrified.

I then turned on my heel and walked away from the house. Young-jae glowered at Hee-mi as he began to smirk smugly. "Mind her words Kwak Hee-mi....She's not the old Na-young you used to know. If she wanted to.....she could have kicked your ass now but unlike you she's a classy woman." Young-jae laughs at Hee-mi in mockery.

Young-jae then turned his attention to Myung-bak. "And you asshole! You better do as my sister says! Return everything that belongs to her and I mean all of it! You got less than 12 hours or I will personally be the one to annihilate you! UNDERSTAND!" Growled Young-jae as he threatened Myung-bak.

Myung-bak only nodded his head frantically as he hurried to get everything ready. Young-jae only laughed and walked away. Hee-mi only glared daggers at him. "Damn you and Na-young! I'll get y'all back! You'll see!" Thought Hee-mi to herself as she slammed her fists on the bed.

Ko-fi - Voluntary Tip for Readings

Most to Least Romantic Member of Xdinary Heroes

Jun Han - 43 Magic, 6 of Wands

Jun Han is the most romantic member of Xdinary Heroes. Romance is really his thing, he’s at the top of his game there. He can make his lover swoon from his romantic gestures and acts of service. He’s the master of courtesy and seduction and every new romantic relationship is a reason for him to celebrate and reach the sky. Jun Han is a true Prince Charming when it comes to love. He can win the heart of anyone he desires like if he put a love spell on them. On the other hand, a breakup can be truly devastating for Jun Han, especially for his ego. He might feel very miserable about it and it takes him a good while to heal his self-esteem.

Jungsu - 32 Marine Life, 3 of Cups

Jungsu is the second most romantic member of Xdinary Heroes. He’s really a ray of sunshine when it comes to romance and he’s a playful romantic. He might not be the demon of lust but he’s a real companion to his lover. He’s not only their sweetheart but also a best friend. He literally takes on any role his lover is currently in need of. He’s supportive, caring and has original ideas on how to spend time together. He genuinely likes to include his lover into the circle of his friends and family, he will incorporate them into his life. Jungsu truly shows his affection to everyone. And that’s likely a reason for his breakups. He might be accused of cheating while he’s actually just really friendly and sweet to all people. Breakups leave him rather desperate and in tears for a while but because he surrounds himself with friends, he can overcome the hurt with their help.

Gunil - 28 Music, 10 of Coins

Gunil is in the middle when it comes to romance. He’s pretty mature when it comes to love affairs and he can truly sense what his lover needs well. But he’s also pretty realistic and pragmatic. He will treat his lover like a royalty but at the same time he will acknowledge their imperfections and opinions. He’s really a team player in romance and expects his lover to give as much as he does to the relationship. He’s not really good at wording his feelings but his steady and undying support is like a warm blanket his lover can hide in to escape the world. Gunil feels any breakup deeply but he’s not the type to cry over it. He learns the lesson and next time he will improve his approach.

Gaon - 26 Pressure, 0 The Fool

Gaon is close behind Gunil when it comes to romance. He approaches love and romance with curiosity and nearly scientifical passion. He’s open to anything but can become reckless and lose focus easily. Gaon might easily forget about birthdays and anniversaries and then be surprised by his lover being mad at him. He likes to be in love but it’s more like he’s enjoying the sensations rather than he would actually feel a connection with the person. Gaon isn’t the one to suffer much with the breakup as he’s really curious about what comes next in his life.

O.de - 17 Cave, 8 of Coins

O.de is the second least romantic member of Xdinary Heroes. For him, romance is labour foremost. He’s not really into it and when he tries to be romantic it feels forced and awkward for him. He knows he needs more practice but it’s not his current priority. He might give a cold and detached impression. His heart beats for the other person but he doesn’t know how to let them know and simply focuses on what he’s good at, which is work. Breakup is something he usually expects and he’s not really surprised or devastated by it. He takes it as it is, maybe spends some time alone to lick his wounds and then go back to work.

Jooyeon - 1 North, 7 of Swords

Jooyeon is the least romantic member of Xdinary Heroes. Not that he wouldn’t ever fall in love but he’s not likely to see it as his life’s purpose. He focuses on other things and can’t be bothered by romance. It’s also possible he’s had a bad experience with romantic relationships when he felt being manipulated through his feelings and used. Jooyeon is not likely to fall in love easily and he’s not likely to express his feelings openly. When he senses like the relationship is closing to its end, he will be the one to break up with his lover in order to avoid being jilted.

I don't know Xdinary Heroes at all so please, take this very lightly. I would truly appreciate your opinion on this piece.

Thank you for reading!

The battle in the basement of the apartment building, where we see Nam-san use a shotgun to blast his way through some of the doctor’s ‘enhanced’ individuals, is a total exhilarating blast. Ma Dong-seok has been a powerhouse for most of his career post Train to Busan, but he sends people flying whenever he throws his fist or pulls the trigger. _Badland Hunters_ also has to break a record for most decapitations in a film. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/bdlndhntr MovieGuys: Badland Hunters does something things well, others just passably. Action is wall to wall and well choreographed.Special effects are excellent. Characterisations are solid if predictable and the acting is not to be sniffed at. However, the story is unremarkable, with a climax that feels, well, anti climatic. In summary, an okay but hardly exceptional watch, that would have benefited from more creativity on the storytelling front. Ritesh Mohapatra: “Badland Hunters: A Visually Striking Action Spectacle with Narrative Shortcomings” In this post-apocalyptic action thriller, Badland Hunters, while suffering from a repetitive and clichéd plot and uninteresting characters, excels in stunning hand-to-hand choreography and scintillating action set pieces. The film benefits greatly from the expertise of its veteran stunt coordinator turned director, known for his work on Train to Busan. Commendable world-building, visionary concepts, and excellent VFX are hindered by conventional writing. The short, crisply edited runtime avoids unnecessary elements. Don Lee’s exceptional portrayal of Nam-san, with exhilarating action sequences, overshadows the film’s narrative weaknesses, making it a guiltily satisfying popcorn-worthy entertainer, particularly for adrenaline enthusiasts.

Korean Air beats Samsung Fire for fifth straight win, jumps to No. 5 in road construction

Korean Air's Han Jung-yong, Lim Dong-hyuk combine for 26 points Korea Express wins 29 points in Burkina Faso

Korean Air extends its winning streak to five games with a sweep of Samsung Fire.

Korean Air swept Samsung Fire 3-0 (25-20 25-19 25-22) in the men's Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on Friday.

Riding a five-game winning streak, Korean Air (6-2, 19 points) pulled within striking distance of first-place Woori Card (7-1, 20 points).

Jeong Jung-yong (14 points) and Lim Dong-hyuk (12 points) led the way. Jung added three blocking points and one service ace. Lim Dong-hyuk had a very high attacking success rate of 60%.

Korean Air's team attack percentage was also high at 57.57%. The defense was also solid from the first set.

Despite losing their second straight match, Samsung Fire (5-3, 14 points) remained in third place.

Samsung Fire's foreign player Yosubani scored 14 points but had an offensive success rate in the low 30s. She also had 12 turnovers.

Korean Air dominated from the start of the game. Led by Jeong Jung-yong, Korean Air scored three straight points with a back-attack by Kwak Seung-seok and a block by Kim Kyu-min to take a 7-4 lead.

Korean Air then took the lead for good at 18-16 with back-to-back kills from Jung Jeong-yong before taking advantage of a Yosubani service error at 24-20 to take the first set.

Samsung Fire lost the first set helplessly due to Jupo Yosubani's poor play.

The second set followed a similar pattern. At 3-2, Cho Jae-young's fastball and Kwak Seung-seok's block made the difference. Korean Air extended its lead with a variety of attacks and widened the gap at 18-13 with a quick opener from Lincoln.

Korean Air pulled away from Samsung Fire late in the second set with kills from Lim Dong-hyuk, Lincoln, and Jung Jeong-yong.

The Devil's Plan

Sejujurnya tidak ada ekspektasi berlebih saat melihat unggahan seorang rekan yang menampilkan sebuah game variety show yang tersedia di platform ott berwarna merah, sampai akhirnya gue menyaksikan sendiri acara tersebut dan yah, jadinya susah move on.

The Devil’s Plan adalah sebuah permainan survival asal Korea Selatan yang terdiri dari 12 pemain. Kedua belas orang ini tinggal bersama selama seminggu untuk memecahkan permainan yang membutuhkan logika berpikir dan strategi yang tepat. Bidak adalah instrumen penting dalam permainan ini, karena dalam setiap permainan para pemain diharapkan mampu mengumpulkan bidak sebanyak-banyaknya. Jika melakukan kesalahan maka pengurangan bidak pun tidak dapat dihindari. Tak hanya bidak, dalam permainan ini juga ada ‘penjara’ yang diperuntukan bagi pemain yang mempunyai bidak paling sedikit.

Namanya juga permainan, maka akan ada yang kalah dan yang menang. Hadiah maksimal yang akan diterima oleh pemenang adalah 500.000 juta won, jika para pemain mampu menyelesaikan permainan berhadiah. Sedangkan yang kalah akan tereliminasi dan mengemas barang miliknya dari rumah tinggal bersama.

Variety show ini terdiri dari 12 episode, dan untunglah saat gue melihat varshow ini episodenya udah lengkap alias udah selesai, jadi gak perlu penasaran untuk menunggu kelanjutannya setiap minggu. Pada episode pertama, dijelaskan bagaimana aturan main dari the devil’s plan dan dijelaskan secara singkat profile para pemain. Berhubung gue kenalnya hanya Ha Seok Jin, maka sedari awal dukungan gue ada padanya. Namun bukan berarti gue gak mendukung pemain lainnya, hanya saja pemain yang gue dukung tereliminasi dibabak-babak awal, hikss.

Ha Seok Jin – Aktor, lulusan Teknik mesin

Seung Kwan – Penyanyi (salah satu member Seventeen)

Kim Dong Jae – Pemain Poker Profesional

Park Kyung Lim – Aktris/Komedian

Lee Si Won – Aktris

Lee Hye Sun – Penyiar

Kwak Joon Bin – Youtuber

Seo Dong Joo – Pengacara

Orbit (Kwedo) – Youtuber

Seo Yoo Min – Dokter

 Cho Yeon Woo – Pemain Goo Profesional

Guillaume Party – Gamer

Permainan dalam acara ini pada dasarnya tidak hanya diformulasikan untuk mengandalkan kemampuan individu setiap pemainnya, tapi ada masa saat permainan berhadiah, dibutuhkan kerjasama tim dari masing-masing pemain untuk mengamankan hadiah uang tunai agar hadiah maksimalnya tidak berkurang. Cuma yah namanya permainan kan gak mungkin juga semua pemain ‘lemah’ diselamatkan dalam aliansi yang diciptakan oleh salah seorang pemain.

TBH, ketika menonton ini dan ada istilah aliansi gue membatin “lah kok yah kerjasama sih mainnya, buat tim-tim gitu, gak yakin sama kemampuan diri sendiri?” Apalagi ada moment ketika salah satu favorit gue yang ‘dikhianati’ karena si penghianat memberitahukan angka pemain favorit gue ke ‘pemimpin’ aliansi itu. Gedek gue pas nontonnya. Mana si penghianatnya pake nangis segala lagi pas orang-orang yang dia khianati tereliminasi. Gue be like “Ya elahhh, kan lu yang buat mereka gagal, kenapa mesti nangis segala. Drama”

Dari beberapa permainan yang mereka mainkan, gue paling bisa ikutan menjawab pada saat game susun kata dengan tema-tema tertentu. Kata yang mereka temukan lalu disusun secara vertikal. Game menyatukan puzzle sebuah gambar juga gue paham aturan permainannya, cuma pas liat waktu pengerjaannya yang super kilat kayaknya gue juga kalau ada di posisi itu yang ada malah gemetaran dan gak bisa fokus. Lalu ada juga game yang membutuhkan kemampuan hapalan tingkat tinggi dari setiap detail gambar yang ditampilkan. Dalam game ini gue angkat topi untuk penampilan seorang pemain yang menyapu bersih pertanyaannya dan membuat jumlah hadiah bertambah 100 juta atau 50 juta won gitu.

Permainan ‘rendah-tinggi’ yang dibuat berdasarkan persamaan matematika pun gue paham aturan mainnya, cuma pas mereka hitung dan menyusun persamaannya dalam tempo sesingkat-singkatnya gue berpikir “kalau gue yang di sana, pake kalkulator aja biar cepat.”

Tak melulu soal hapalan dan angka, dalam acara ini juga diperlukan strategi yang tepat dan efisien untuk menjadi pemenangnya. Makanya ada yang berpendapat untuk membentuk aliansi saja, padahal bisa jadi aliansi yang diciptakan itu seyogyanya rasa insecure si pencetus biar saingan yang dia anggap berpotensi bisa dia eliminasi lebih dulu dengan bantuan aliansinya tersebut.

Pengamatan yang jeli juga dibutuhkan untuk dapat bertahan sampai babak final dalam permainan ini. Mengamati mana partner yang beneran tulus ingin bekerja sama atau manipulatif semata. Serta memperhatikan tiap benda yang ada disekitar, mana tau ada yang menjadi kunci jawaban untuk permainan selanjutnya.

Overall, gue suka banget sama variety show ini selain 2 days 1 night nya Mas Seon Ho haha.

Kalau di 2 day 1 nights, gue bisa puas ngakak ngeliat tingkah pola ngang-ngong dan polos-polos bego kadang pinter juga sih Seon Ho. Kalau The Devil’s Plan memicu otak gue untuk berpikir dan mencari strategi yang win-win solution ditambah asupan visual yang buat rasa charming gue ke pemuda pintar berkacamata naik berkali-kali lipat, hahaha..
