The Player: Episode 14 (Finale Rants)


I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Ha-ri and his gang straight from the get-go, but what's up with this ending? Nope, it isn't bad. Everything got resolved and I like that there has been a resolution, but that resolution felt sort of... lackluster. I mean, Ha-ri was able to lay out really intelligent cons prior to this, which was why it felt sort of easy to see him go after the baddies with just... what? A tracker? Secretly filming them and then having them get caught on TV and... that's it? Bummer. 


Don't even get me started with what they did to Ah Ryung. I know they were just after her well-being, but they sure didn't think about Ah Ryung's fear of abandonment, no? That scene at the van was really heartbreaking. They were supposed to be a team! Talk about noble idiocy. 😒


But at least the ending made sense, Ha-ri and the gang got reunited, plus they were able to get justice served. This is an ending that's still so much better compared to Song Seung Heon's previous drama (hello, Black), so yeah, no more complaining. 


PS. I absolutely adored how Song Seung Heon played a smug yet suave con artist for this show. He does suit these kinds of role better in my opinion (I absolutely loved him in Black), and I hope to see him act all debonair and cheeky again in the future. 🥰
