Liar Game

To stir the pot, Seunghyun asks Dongho to reveal now whether he is or isn’t the infamous Betrayer X. Dongho gives a half-smile: “I’m sure you already know the answer.”
When one of the female contestant’s vote is also revealed to be a no, Seunghyun notes that she doesn’t look too fazed even though such a vote guarantees she and Dongho won’t win. Unless there’s a tie, and a resulting revote.
Miryo’s vote turns out to be yes, which means she’ll be the winner if Joon voted no. Seunghyun knows what makes for good TV, and asks Miryo how she feels about her possible win. She gets teary-eyed as she addresses her mother through the camera, as she promises to earn money for her so she can be a more filial daughter.
Then Seunghyun asks Joon how he feels, since he already knows what the result will be even if his vote hasn’t been tallied. “Will Miryo’s wish come true?” the devilish host asks.
After a pause Joon just says, “We won, Miryo.”
Miryo’s sniffles slowly turn to laughter. “We?” she asks hysterically. “We?!” She can’t even control herself, and Seunghyun’s smile shows how pleased he is with this development.
“I told you I’d be the last person standing,” she says to rest of the contestants with a confident air. All her nervousness and timidity was just an act, as she takes off her wig to reveal her real head of hair. Even Dongho looks shocked.
Miryo can’t help but laugh maniacally at how she fooled everyone, and when one of the four remaining contestants calls her out for agreeing to split the winnings, we have our answer as to who Betrayer X really is. Like there was any doubt with Miryo’s display of crazy.
As for why she won’t have to fulfill her end of the bargain she made with everyone, Miryo displays her REAL identity card—and her name isn’t Miryo, but Mi-hye.
PD Dasom orders that the other contestants’ reactions be filmed, while they edit in previously unaired footage of Miryo betraying her teammate in the first round. So they knew the entire time who Betrayer X was, which explains why Seunghyun couldn’t stop smirking.
Miryo proudly explains her whole plan from start to finish, and how she’d requested that her round one footage not be broadcasted as part of her strategy. Joon looks nonplussed—he figured this out earlier, didn’t he?
I feel like Mi-hye’s cocky “How did you get this far by being so naive?” is going to come back and bite her in the butt, but for now, she’s happy to proclaim that she’ll take the lead roles Joon and Sunhwa have been hogging since the first round. Now she’s the star.
“How do you feel, ‘Angel’ Sunhwa? You hate me now, don’t you? Don’t you want to curse me out and beat me?” Mi-hye teases ruthlessly. She dares Sunhwa to say something, anything, but everything changes when Sunhwa looks her dead in the eye and says, “Because I already knew.”
Seunghyun takes that as his cue to pull out Joon’s vote, and makes a production of turning the card toward the contestants… and it’s a yes. It’s a tie!
Mihye turns on Joon with a vengeance, screaming that he’d told her he was going to vote no. He even told her they’d won! “I did,” Joon admits. “And you revealed yourself as a result.”
Apparently Mihye thought her plan was flawless, so Joon decides to give her what-for. He’d sensed that she was hiding something from the beginning and kept his eye on her, but only started to truly suspect her when she so readily pointed to Dongho being Betrayer X, since it was her attempt to deflect suspicion away from herself.
He knows that her defending Sunhwa against Siwon -the bulldog- was sincere, but became certain of her true identity after the first round because she was the only one acting nonchalant about which side to pick.
Using his human lie detector skills, he knew she was telling the truth when she volunteered to take any side—but that was because she was certain she’d win regardless. He even figured out that she was using her coffee-drinking as a secret signal to alert her other team members on how to vote.
That’s all fine and well, Mihye says, but it puts them in the exact same predicament—with the revote, their chances of winning will be 25% each. “You really think so?” Joon challenges.
Joon is chosen as the final questioner, and his statement to his fellow contestants is: “Money is the most valuable thing in life.”
But he upsets the game when he shows everyone that he’s going to vote no in advance. Mihye is pissed now, and of course, Sunhwa is pleased that emotions are running high.
The clock is ticking, leaving Mi-hye all but fuming in frustration. Team Joon figures out that the only way for Joon to lose is if the remaining three contestants team up and agree to split the money, in which case only one of them would win as long as two of them voted no.
With only five minutes left, Mihye gathers the two remaining contestants and poses the idea of forming a team—she’s totally not lying this time, really! Dongho is against trusting her unless she agrees to take only forty million won (forty thousand dollars) since the contract they signed with their real identities would still be valid.
Which means that everyone else would get about one hundred forty thousand dollars, unless they do decide to split between the three of them. Even in that case, Dongho is firm about Mihye getting a much smaller share than the two of them.
They squabble about trusting each other, until Dongho says he’ll take their votes up with his. Both of them give them their “yes” cards while he takes his “no” card. But… no one signed this new contract. How do they expect him to keep to the agreement?
Dongho gets the votes in literally seconds before the round ends. Seung-hyun pulls out the votes one by one: Mihye is a yes, the other girl in their team is a yes, Joon is a no, and Dongho… is a yes. Whaaat?
This means Mihye wins it all, though I’ve never seen a more unimpressed face pelted by congratulatory confetti. Anyhow, Joon has to explain what happened to the viewers, and it begins with Dongho....
