The Player 2: Master of Swindlers episode 2 aired on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, on tvN and Viki. Starring Oh Yeon-Seo and Song Seung-Heon, the action-crime K-drama revolves around a group of swindlers stealing money from rich people who make money illegally.
In the previous episode, Ah-Ryung (Krystal Jung) died, and her sister, Cha Jae-Yi (Jang Gyu-Ri), joined Kang Ha-Ri’s (Song Seung-Heon) team. A mysterious woman named Jung Soo-Min (Oh Yeon-So) approached Ha-Ri and gave him a new target. Towards the end of the episode, Soo-Min changes the story.
Ha-Ri attempts to scam fraudster businessman Kang Do-Young, but learns that Soo-Min has thrown the team under the bus. Episode 2 begins with Soo-Min selling Ha-Ri’s true identity to Do-Young. Instead of thanking her, the latter hands her a gun and asks her to shoot Ha-Ri to prove her loyalty. With a bit of hesitation, Soo-Min shoots Ha-Ri.
Is Soo-Min the villain? Let’s find out.
