Review of The Player

The Player (2021–2022)
8/10
Wild and fun soap opera, for adults only.
23 March 2022
This is kind of the Thai BL version of Melrose Place. There's pretty much every felony on the book: kidnapping, blackmail, bribery, murder, attempted murder, multiple perpetrators attempting murder simultaneously on the same victim, prostitution, pimping, humiliation, public humiliation, sexual humiliation, sexual abuse, infidelity, sex videos, snuff videos, corruption, you name it, it's got it!!

I must say by episode 3 I was about to give up, but I'm glad I stuck to it because it quickly takes off and becomes very fast paced and fun.

Special mention should be given to Namtam for her portrayal of Giwi, a wild villain with a taste for humiliating men.

Overall it won't win an Oscar but for sure won't give a moment of boredom either and will shock you more than a few times with its outrageous twists and turns. If you're not faint or heart, give it a go!
