Below are three points to keep an eye on in the second half:

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.

 

Spoiler

 

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.

Song Seung Heon And Lee Si Eon Infiltrate Heo Sung Tae’s Cult In “The Player 2: Master Of Swindlers”

 

 

tvN’s “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers” has shared stills from its upcoming episode!

 

The sequel to OCN’s hit 2018 series “The Player,” “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers” is a heist drama about a squad of talented swindlers who target the wealthy and corrupt by stealing dirty money that has been obtained through illegal means.

 

Song Seung Heon reprises his role as the slick con artist Kang Ha Ri, the mastermind behind the squad’s elaborate schemes. Lee Si Eon returns as the skilled hacker Lim Byung Min, and Tae Won Suk is back as the fighter Do Jin Woong.

 

Joining the cast are Oh Yeon Seo as Jung Soo Min, a mysterious figure who lures Kang Ha Ri back into the game, and Jang Gyuri as the squad’s new driver Cha Je Yi.

Spoilers

Previously in “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers,” cult leader Lim Sang Sik (Heo Sung Tae) extorted donations from his followers by pretending to have received divine revelations. He also carried out various heinous acts, such as organ trafficking and sexual exploitation, to fulfill his desires. However, thanks to his strong backing from political, business, and legal circles, none of these atrocities were exposed, and he would retaliate mercilessly against any traitors, thus solidifying the power of his cult.

 

To teach Lim Sang Sik a lesson, Kang Ha Ri infiltrated the cult disguised as Kim Han Joon, a graduate of a prestigious theological school. On his first day, he made a significant impact by donating 5 billion won (approximately $3.6 million), impressing others with his confident and intelligent demeanor. Subsequently, he not only recruited wealthy individuals as followers but also garnered support from other believers due to his impeccable image, gradually earning Lim Sang Sik’s trust.

 

In the released photos, Kang Ha Ri appears to have perfectly infiltrated the enemy camp. With his unique visuals and clear, benevolent eyes, he exudes an aura different from that of the professional con artist Kang Ha Ri, captivating even the evil cult leader Lim Sang Sik. His unexpected display of loyalty toward Lim Sang Sik piques curiosity about how he plans to punish him.

 

The photos also show that Lim Byung Min has managed to infiltrate the cult, sparking curiosity. Lim Sang Sik is depicted sitting at a desk, seemingly filming something, Kang Ha Ri is captured watching him, and hacker Lim Byung Min is shown holding a camera.
