I just finished Player and I thought it was great. It took me awhile to watch the first half, but mostly because I just got distracted not because it was bad. By the second half I couldn’t stop watching until the end. I was mad during that five minutes of “Ploy is dead” fake-out in the last episode, but I am gullible. I should have known someone would have said something if the ending was actually sad.
I thought all the characters were interesting and I liked the story overall. I liked that one of the women in the second couple was a little more masculine. I liked how ploy’s wardrobe changed once she decided to win Pun back. I wasn’t sure it was entirely believable that she would give up her career to move to New York in the end, but something have to give for an HEA.
Just a side note about the NC scenes. I thought they were quite spicy despite not being very explicit. I think they made the right choice going for intense feelings rather than graphic behavior. Also, it was so much better to show clothes as or after they came off rather than people making love with clothes on. Denied Love was hot, but I got tired of every love scene being in fancy nightwear.
