it's currently 3 am and i just finished binge-watching all 14 episodes of this drama. it's definitely one of my favorite dramas now.

the cast is absolutely stupendous. i have learned so much while watching (all the unspoken tension built by characters, the drive, and want, etc.) it's led me to see the buildup of characters in a new light and just how crucial it is to the structure of a story. the truth each actor lives as their character is eye-opening and entrancing. i was hooked from beginning to end.

the themes and overall topics the drama touches on is done in a way that is addictive and disturbingly realistic. i couldn't stop watching until the end and i still want more. however, it already is a compelling standalone story.

for, at its very core, 'Player' digs deep into the human psyche to examine just how far people will go to get what they want. and does so in both a raw and absolutely incredible manner.
