Underrated, Beautiful, Fascinating as heck story
At first, I was skeptical about watching this if it would be any good but I am so glad I did. In the beginning, I kept comparing it to Manner of Death, not because of the BL element but because they are both psychological thrillers. Mind you, Manner of Death is beyond amazing but The Player is really good which is why this gets a 10 in my book.
I fell in love with the clothing. The rich people style is a dream to achieve, honestly. Almost all the characters were so beautifully dressed that it was pleasing to the eyes. They really showed the contrast between the rich and the poor. Social class difference was one of the main themes of the series. No matter the way you get rich, whether you are born into it or married into it, money and power really do change a person and from there on all they care about is their image on how to maintain the rich status in society.
The acting was phenomenal. All the actors did an amazing job and it was really captivating to watch as the series unfolds and we get to see the backstory and how they came to be in the story. I kept thinking that there is just 1 player who is playing with everybody but honestly everyone is a player which is what makes the story so interesting to watch. They all have some sort of personality disorder may it be narcissism or borderline which makes them manipulative and use anyone they can for their own benefit.
Not to forget the feminist theme of the series. This series is run by powerful female characters which are so hard to find in any series. They are strong, powerful women who know how to get what they want. Even the mothers portrayed in the series are strong and powerful women who are family-oriented and doing well in their careers.
I am keeping this review very vague because if I were to dive into each character separately, not only would it be a spoiler but it would take up a lot of reading space. This is a seriously underrated series. I wish it would get more attention. The actors, actresses, the plot, the design, everything was amazing. I would recommend it 100%
