The Player Episode 3

3.0/10 - It's so cool, but so bad.

There's no doubt this is cool. Cool shots. Cool music. Cool fights. Cool. Cool. Boring.

Yep, super boring. It's because it's still hasn't taken the time to develop its leads or the story. Now I'm nervous that the first episode is the end goal. That the 3 months prior is the whole story. Or most of it or . . . . I don't know. There was actually a point where there's cool scene transition happened that I thought the take down was happening. Instead we see the target and then it's all just about him. We go back to the team and find out they're just barely getting together to chat. It's annoy! The pacing is off and I feel like the writing isn't even trying.

Just toss in a few chool transitions and music. Smiling team members with slow motion walking and we've got a cool show!

There is some minor attempts to get some information across about the team members, but I still don't know them nor care about them.

Clearly Su Hyuk has a big end plan. His reaction to the picture at the prosecutors home and so on. I'm just not convinced if Player is up to doing anything. There's another drama that this rocky start reminds me of. You're All Surrounded. A drama that never paid off, but I did enjoy the characters. I'm just nervous for Player. This the writers first work and I'm actually really bored. With an action drama!

I need character development and an actual interesting plot that's not . . . whatever boring this is.
