Player (2018)

Bellissimo drama, teso, serrato e senza momenti di noia

La migliore squadra di lotta al crimine è composta da Kang Ha Ri (Song Seung Heon) un geniale truffatore; Cha Ah Ryung (Krystal Jung) è una guidatrice esperta cresciuta in un orfanotrofio; Im Byung Min (Lee Si Eon) è un grande hacker e Do Jin Woong (Tae Won Suk) è un potente combattente.
Insieme, questo gruppo costituisce la risorsa nascosta di un onesto e osteggiato procuratore Kim Won Hae (Jang In Gyoo) - strepitoso come sempre - che usa il suo potere per opporsi al male, alla corruzione, al potere demoniaco di denaro e politica.
La storia è ben scritta, il ritmo serrato, gli attori - TUTTI (inclusi quelli che rappresentano il male) - sono di alto livello. I temi trattati sono il male, diabolico, che disgrega l'uomo e le istituzioni facendo leva sulla sete di denaro, di potere, sulla codardia e sulla pochezza di molti uomini. La nemesi è costituita da un pugno di compagni che mettono i loro talenti e la loro stima reciproca per formare una compagnia che sostenga la lotta al male.
Richiama altri films d'azione che ho molto apprezzato: Chief Kim; Model Taxi; You're All Surrounded. Mi ha ricordato anche la Compagnia dell'Anello di Tolkien.
Per chi ama storie d'azione ben scritte, ben dirette e ben recitate, questo drama è consigliabile.

If you are looking for a drama that is just a fun and exciting ride, this is the drama for you!
If you are looking for a drama that has great acting, great chemistry between the characters and is a comedy...This is the drama for you!
If you want to be entertained and REALLY just enjoy a drama from episode 1 to the finale...This is the drama for you!

STORY: This drama sure has a roller coaster of a ride for a story. Every episode has a cliffhanger which makes you want to click next episode as fast as possible. It is just a fun and wild ride. Basically the story is a group of people with different backgrounds and skills come to together to fight against corruption. It is so much more than that but you know...spoilers. The only downside of how this story structure turns out is that at the beginning of the drama, the action and story is like a 2 episode story arc and then moves onto the next mini story arc. I loved that but the further along you get into the drama, the less and less the writers told the story that way. I completely understand why and it didn't become distracting or hurt the story in any way, I just liked that the story was episodic BUT I usually like my crime dramas episodic.

ACTING/CAST: I thought the acting and choice of cast was PERFECT for this drama. Everyone played their role beautifully. It was like they were made for the role they were given in this drama. Also the cast had such great chemistry together too. Also anytime I see Kim Won Hae in a drama...It goes to the top of my list.

MUSIC: I usually don't notice the music all that much but this drama's music stood out. The OSTs for this drama are fantastic! I have been listening to them on repeat. I think the music that is played during the intense parts and the themes played with each character really added to the ambiance of the drama.

REWATCH VALUE: I will 100% rewatch this drama again...I WANT A SECOND SEASON OF THIS DRAMA!

OVERALL: I just loved that I chose to watch this drama. I kind of picked it up on a whim but NOW I am sad that it is over. I will miss the hodge podge group of ruffians that I was used to watching every week. WATCH THIS DRAMA! You won't regret it. It is just a fun time with great characters that are well rounded and have depth and flaws and a drama that has a good storyline (granted could have stuck with the episodic structure for a little longer).
