Spoilers
Stronger teamwork
The players demonstrated even stronger teamwork as they gathered their strength to take down numerous villains. Although they bicker like friends, they also share deep trust and loyalty like family. Fighting for justice together, the team overcame difficulties in their own unique way.
On top of this, Jung Soo Min (Oh Yeon Seo), whose initial intentions were difficult to read, is gradually becoming a part of the team, raising anticipation for their synergy. Her significant contributions to many plans strengthened the team. Furthermore, Hwang In Sik (Lee Joon Hyuk) and prosecutor Kwak Do Soo (Ha Do Kwon) also contributed their strengths, upgrading their team play.
Greater evil with the ultimate boss
As the players level up their skills, the villains also step up their game, doing their best to make Kang Ha Ri fall into a trap. In episode 6, Mr. Myung (Lee Soo Hyuk) brought tension to the drama by appearing to know all of Kang Ha Ri’s cards already and looking unshaken.
Furthermore, it was gradually revealed that the villains are connected to Jeffrey Jung (Kim Kyung Nam), making viewers more curious. Jeffrey Jung also appears to be aware of Kang Ha Ri’s movements, raising anticipation for their confrontation.
The real client
While investigating Jeffrey Jung, Kang Ha Ri also discovered another related individual—his real client, president Choi Sang Ho (Jo Sung Ha). Although the president claimed that he enlisted the help of the players in order to take care of villains that he could not take care of from his position, Kang Ha Ri could not help but continue to be suspicious. In particular, with the discovery that he was connected to the death of Jung Soo Min’s ex-lover, viewers are curious to find out more of his true intentions.
The next episode of “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers” will air on June 24 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
