Song Seung-heon reunites with his crew in Player 2
by lovepark
After driving off into the sunset over five years ago, the property-stealing swindlers of Player have returned in a new installment. Resuming his role as mastermind Kang Ha-ri is Song Seung-heon (Black Knight). He’s joined by his old team members Lee Shi-un (Bad Prosecutor) as hacker Im Byung-min and Tae Won-seok (My Demon) as muscle Do Jin-woong. While their former driver played by Krystal (Crazy Love) won’t be coming back, Oh Yeon-seo (Cafe Minamdang) and Jang Gyuri (Pyramid Game) will be joining the cast.
From the behind-the-scenes clip released by tvN, the sequel appears to boast bigger and flashier cons filled with fights, betrayals, and cash — lots of it. Oh Yeon-seo’s character Jung Soo-min approaches the team with an offer to work together for one year: they help her take out the trash, and in exchange, they keep the money that they earn. It seems like a prime opportunity for our swindlers to do what they do best, but good deals often come with a catch.
Joining the team as their new driver is Cha Jae-yi (Jang Gyuri) who seems to quickly adjust to the boys’ rapport. Though Ha-ri is initially against hiring the new recruit, the others cut off his protests and welcome her to the group.
The sequel also showcases some foreign locales with the team donning their best vacation wear and soaking in the sun in the middle of their usual swindling routine. Despite the action-packed sequences, the show seems to have retained its sense of fun, highlighting plenty of silly moments between the characters from impromptu dances to over-the-top aegyo.
Of course, no con is complete without its villains, and filling out the cast are Lee Jun-hyuk (The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract) and Ha Do-kwon (Marry My Husband) alongside Go Yoon (Beauty and Mr. Romantic), Im Seul-ong (Penthouse 3), and Tae In-ho (Big Bet).
Taking over the director’s seat is PD So Jae-hyun who has been the chief producer for dramas like Maestra: Strings of Truth and Castaway Diva. Scripts will also be penned by a new team consisting of writers Park Sang-moon (Eun-joo’s Room) and Choi Seul-gi (Overtime). tvN’s Player 2: Master of Swindlers will air sometime in June of this year.

The first sentence that went off in my head was: Song Seung-hoon is back!!!.
I've missed him since Dinner Mate.
The casting is perfect, chefs kiss, on point, pure sex... name it any phrasal adjective of choice.
I'm definitely watching this come June.

What a cast! I didn't see the original, but this looks so fun. Plus Ha Do Kwon and Song Seung Heon. Most importantly, it's not releasing in May! 👍 What could go wrong?

Thanks for this because I was really trying to remember if I saw season 1 and I did, that's right Krystal was in it.

Always great to see Song Seung-heon! I watched the first Player and it was mostly a fun ride. Looking forward to the team's new adventures.

I stopped watching the first season quite quickly. The initial episodes had a heavy atmosphere from what I remember. There was a story, reminiscent of the true infamous Nth Room story, where rapes could be watched live on an illegal site.

The last time I watched Song Seonghoon was Autumn Tale in 1998!! I loved him in that show. Looking forward to this one!
