Reasons to watch: I confess I completely missed when the original Players premiered, but it’s always fun to see favorite characters return to the screen, and I like that this sequel didn’t ride on hype (being five years after the original). With most of the original cast returning (main swindling crew Song Seung-heon, Lee Shi-un, and Tae Won-seok), there are some new ladies joining the cast: Jang Gyuri and Oh Yeon-seo. Promising to be louder, flashier, and more wild than the original, I’m expecting a fun action romp with some 2024 pizzazz.
TL;DR: It doesn’t matter if you missed Season 1 because our Players are back with new swindles up their sleeves.
