South Korea has a talent for producing inherently watchable, often quirky, crime drama's. The Player which aired on Korean channel OCN in 2018 and then was renewed for a second season, is one such example. Its a little quirky, a little off beat, in a good way. It tells the story of a group who swindle, swindlers, whilst covertly helping a prosecutor, uncover crime and corruption. Its an inherently watchable, with a cast of well rendered likeable rogues and despicable villains, who deserve what they get. What I appreciated about this series, is things don't always go as planned. Things go wrong, sometimes badly so, leading to less than predictable outcomes. This keeps things interesting and varied, you can never quite anticipate, what will happen next. In summary, a well written light crime action thriller series with a dash of comedy, from South Korea. Very definitely worth a look.
