I was very doubtful if Player 2 would be any good because there had been a 6-year gap between the seasons. But I'm glad I watched it because I enjoyed every second of the drama!!


The new characters are all very memorable and well acted! I really liked Director Hwang :D I also feel like the individual cases were more interesting and better written, when compared to the first season.


The pacing is fast and there is no boring moments at all! The planning and background story bits are very short, most times it's just straight into the action.



I really love these types of dramas/shows/movies, and I don't really care about plot holes or unrealistic moments in them. I can just turn off my brain and enjoy for 60-120 minutes :D

However, I have to say that I had the same issue with this season as the first season: The individual cases are great, but the overarching plot and the big villain are just meh. The main villain in Player 2 also is almost identical to the one in Player 1. I would have enjoyed this drama more if the overarching plot was more interesting and the main villain wasn't the most generic and boring, comically evil guy we all have seen 1000 times in movies and dramas before. I really hope this can be improved if Player gets a third season.


---------
SUMMARY: An entertaining ride full of action, twists, and meticulous twists. Player 2 has memorable and fun characters who you want to see even more after the season ends. And MAN I want more seasons to this, both Player and Taxi Driver are dramas that I could watch 100 seasons of, and not get bored. Please watch The Player 2!!!
