Narcosaints: Narcos + cult in a nutshell.
Just finished Narcosaints. I was attracted to this series because the cast are top class actors in Korea (especially Park Hae So). So, I don't doubt their acting skills in this series. But, Narcosaints still lack of many aspect in executing and directing.
----------------------------- Synopsis Kang In-Gu (Ha Jung-Woo) begins his business in the South American country of Suriname. He is thrust into a situation, which he must cooperate with the South Korean NIS to catch Jeon Yo-Hwan (Hwang Jung-Min). He is known as a drug king, who runs his drug-smuggling operation out of Suriname.

Review: Pros Narco-saint had some loving aspect especially the character, every characters in Narcosaints is solid af. Their portion is balance and make you feel they are important as long the story go. As always South Korea tv-series never make you dissapointed with their cinematography. Simple yet elegant but also intense.
The episode 1-5 of this series is pretty solid job, how to potrait Kang as a loving-family business guy with good negotiation skill into the manipulator. He progressed is really rewarding for watcher, his doing the best to live and meet his family is a good motivation for the character development.
Mixed The villain is too comical. For me this is no problem but for several people who think this series gonna take to realism... Nah, this series is not for you then especially for the antagonist. I don't wanna spoiler you about this. So judge yourself after watching 2-3 episodes.
Cons The story is so bland and plain, this series is too focusing on the cast but not to the script...or just the false directing?
The directing on this film kinda ruined the mood, you gonna see the director surely take 3 or 4 frame with context. In my first impression i think this frame gonna be significant to the story but nuh huh...just useless take.
The last episode was a letdown for sure, the fight is too lame..stupid lame. Too many dialogues and flaws like "hey bro i want epic climax in last episode, not some dips*it lame execution" Even in the end of last episode, choice cliffhanger ending is fatal mistake. Why dont make ultimate battle instead some wacky battle in lakeside lmao. Too many lame moment in Final episode, kinda dissapointed about that (i mean they Fed up us with solid episode but in the end...*sigh )
Summary: Narco-Saints is good South Korea drama about druglord disguised as a pastor. Although there are lack in terms of final execution and script, but the series is still entertaing and worth to watch only because the cast and Kang development. This series is fun to watch.
Score: 7/10.
