Darey Aug 12 2024 7:36 pm I'm sorry, I revised my previous comment. I tried to keep watching until the end, and it was a good and enjoyable drama. there are always new cases. this concept reminds me of the drama 'Taxi Driver'. solve the case by going undercover and entering the suspect's life. full of silliness but they succeeded.

but this drama started with a bad episode, I tried it myself and continued it. I feel guilty.

Nadaanadott Jul 29 2024 7:27 am I think the first season is more exciting than the second. 9/10 from me

Kars Jul 24 2024 10:47 am I also sad with how they killed Ahryeong but maybe the filming schedule didn't match krystal's schedules so they need to find new face and build new character. It happened many times on series with sequels.

All Action Jul 21 2024 7:52 am Waiting for Season 3 hopefully it doesn't take another 6 years.

vampire Jul 18 2024 4:21 am Let's head to Season 3 with the main cast of 'The Player 2'!!! Also, please cast Lee Sung Kyung as a villain!!!

briizennie Jul 15 2024 10:22 am disappointed that Krystal is not in season 2, like why did the writer decide to kill her?! also Cha Ahryeong grew up in an orphanage where did the sister come from? even in season 1 ep 5 they portrayed her as a lonely person with no one on her side then suddenly she has a sister? it doesn't make sense at all!

lunia77 Jul 12 2024 11:06 am Will there be season 3, Lee sung Kyung could be the villain this this time.

yeahhh Jul 09 2024 8:39 pm Yass season 3 coming?! Lee sung kyung will be a villain?

Anita Jul 07 2024 6:04 pm Loved the first and never thought we would have a second season; this is fantastic. Great cast and love the fight scenes. Awesome action and brilliant plots.

Mina Jul 07 2024 9:25 am i really wanted to see Song Seung Heon and Krystal in love together but :( now i wanted with Gyuri the same.

asyabox Jun 29 2024 10:40 am It was great in the first season and this one is great too. I'm looking forward to the new episodes. It was very gripping

mike Jun 25 2024 2:49 pm S01 ending showed she came back and save them all only to end up killed in S02 EP1. The writers n director were having sex parties when writing this plot?

Additionally S02 lost its plot direction and bcome nonsense from the start. Dropped at ep3.

Not recommended. Treat S01 as the only season and you will have a good feeling on this drama series.

Eddie Jun 23 2024 8:04 am Why did you kill Ah ryeoung !?????!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????

Ryunami Jun 21 2024 3:08 am A pleasant surprise of cameos: Kim Jung hyun and Hong Jong hyun.. also a handsome villain in the form of Lee Soo hyuk ^_^

Ryunami Jun 21 2024 2:39 am What a pleasant surprise cameo we got Kim Jung hyun ep. 5 and Hong Jong hyun in ep. 6

Playerr Jun 20 2024 4:49 pm Even though I’m sad that they killed her, I’m loving the new driver as well. I loved s1 more because they had a clear purpose. Now they’re like okay we fight against the bad but what’s the motivation? I think we lack that this season. A ryeoungs death gives us a reason why they’re fighting back but they’re not focusing on the people who killed her. In S1 with hari’s directing them undercover they only focused on the people who caused his father’s death. New woman character is a no from me (the assistant). I didn’t really liked she acts like the boss I like to see Ha ri as the boss. She didn’t fit in the group asa much as te new driver did anyways waiting for the new eps

gokublack Jun 20 2024 1:13 am I was disappointed when I heard that krystal is only a cameo in season 2 and based on my research Krystal did not reprise her role in season 2 because she needs to focus on the film cobweb...

I'm also wondering that if Player will have a season 3 Krystal still might not comeback cause her character is killed(shot) she is not shown having vacation in another country. But yeah they could still make a story that someone was able to save her and hide her for a while... I don't know but I just hope if ever season 3 happens she will come back cause her chemistry with her co-stars is great.

kei Jun 19 2024 5:55 am bro I need krystal this season bruhhh

Plez Jun 17 2024 11:39 am Why did they kill off the main Character. The chemistry between nose full was outstanding. You don't see that often in a series, they should have kept her

Lily Jun 17 2024 5:14 am This is an interesting series, but i need to watch season 1 but i can't find it. does it have same title?

Zee Jun 16 2024 12:46 pm This season is boring so far. I've watched 1-3 and can't bring myself to watch episode 4.

prefer player season 1 Jun 14 2024 8:31 am already watch episode 1, shock that the writer killed cha aryeong. wont watch it for oh yeon seo too I quit after watched 1 episode, so disappointed that krystal didn't join this season i just gonna rewatch season 1

witch princess Jun 13 2024 2:19 am hah.. how did they kill off the character cha ahryeong here. even if she can't be the main character why does she have to die!? my heart is already set on her.. bring her back okay!?

Sangsingsongh Jun 09 2024 6:40 am I rewatch season 1 and realise that cha ah ryeong was lived in orphanage, and escape at age 9, so who is her sister?

Darey Jun 05 2024 11:00 am I'm a big fan of season one, but season two is very boring. adding two actress didn't help, I didn't feel the chemistry. they acting like hmm?

seasons one and two are very different. the story is boring and very template. there are a lot of unnecessary scenes, and when there are important scenes they make them fast.

the drama it self is too bright. I didn't feel the dramatics or tension. when they are doing something I'm confused, are they serious or joking? the comedy here is also very cringy. only 2 episodes have aired but I didn't continue it, I'm sorry.

own Jun 05 2024 3:46 am well can't believe that there's no Krystal Jung here and it's so disappointed. why it's have to be Gyuri tho

hahaha Jun 04 2024 2:12 am still hoping there will be player 3 with Krystal comeback. Well, this is series, anything can happen

Mistique Jun 03 2024 11:58 pm So sad that they killed Krystal character in this drama. Thought that we might hv change to see her again if there will be Player season 3 in the future. It seems that there will be no Krystal anymore

Sheree Jun 03 2024 8:36 pm @AniMoodz I couldn't agree more! due to his hard work, you can see him in every drama. :)

AniMoodz May 31 2024 6:09 am Woaaahhh kim wonhae ahjussi really hardworking. After completing his role in lovely runner, he went straight into this drama. Good Job sir?

Sarah May 29 2024 4:41 pm Judging by pictures and the first episode teaser, Krystal's character will most likely be killed off partially on screen? That'll be her cameo so yeah, she won't be starring in this drama as a main cast member.

Ijoon May 25 2024 1:53 am Wow... is that Lee Soo Hyuk in Teaser Education?

Zee May 23 2024 12:59 pm Anyone knows why Krystal isn't returning??

Quinn May 22 2024 7:35 pm So excited for this show!!!!!

Stwve May 19 2024 9:56 pm Why is the second season not OCN. Not sure how it’d compare to the first season

Asian Wiki Great May 14 2024 11:22 pm Just three weeks left to make its return with new season

Anna May 14 2024 4:13 am Can’t wait to watch season 2 with the new villains, especially Tae In Ho omg, I missed him on screen ❤️

Christina May 10 2024 7:08 am Yippeeeeeeeeee

Kevin May 01 2024 3:58 am Thank for changing cast

Oh Yeon seo is a lovely choice

player Apr 30 2024 10:27 pm Whoever is asking about Krystal, can't you stop it? Many dramas with new seasons with several new casts. I don't expect thought Gyuri would replace Krystal. But I'm waiting for Oh Yeonseo's drama and the fun actors to appear together in the drama

Merve Apr 30 2024 5:29 pm Where is Krystalll!!!!!

Callista Mar 12 2024 9:48 pm Omg!!!

Nia Feb 15 2024 8:21 am Yaahhh i expect krystal will join this drama again huhu
