Narco-Saints

It's a simple plot but masterful at the same time one of the best tv shows i have seen in 2022 I enjoyed every minute and never got bored Koreans are really great actors All the actors did a great job I really love the cooperation between Netflix and Korea it produces really great works and i hope to see more masterpisece soon like that As for directing the director made a great effort and maintained the pace of work and the balance between drama and action The series ended on time without delay The same for the writer he made great characters and drew their sides and features well I highly recommend the series to people who love the atmosphere of espionage mixed with excitement biography and action they will have a nice time with this series and the beautiful thing is that it does not need a lot of time.

It would be absolutely unfair to compare this series to Narcos, but it's a gripping and exciting thriller nonetheless which gives you a glimpse into a less known story within the War on Drugs era. The casting is excellent, the action sequences and dialogues are brilliant, and the characters were so great that you'd feel like rooting for all of them regardless of whether they're good guys or bad guys. And well the setting - who doesn't like a classy narco story set in the Latin tropics?

But the main thing for me was the CINEMATOGRAPHY - Korean shows always kill it when it comes to this department. It's a slow burn yet taut thriller that's so much fun to watch, it's easy to look past it's only con - there is no genuine cultural characteristics of the country of Suriname on display here, would've definitely liked to see more of Surinamese culture in general, even though the entire series seems to be set in the region.

Once you pass the 1st episode which is a bit too long (but helpful to understand the main character's personality and motivation) the series gets better and better with a great finale which keeps you on the edge of your seat for 60 minutes. The 6 episodes format is perfect as it allows to develop the story enough while being crisp at the same time.

The story is well built and well paced, the acting very good - not surprising as the show features some top actors from the Korean movie.

Hwang Jung Min nails it as per usual in his role as the ruthless, devilish drug king and finds perfect chemistry with Ha Jung Woo who is equally impressive in this guy-next-door-turned-hero.

Great suspense and action, a must watch for fans of the genre!

This show is surprisingly good. I really love how they combined languages and ethnicity throughout the show. The casting is spot on i.e: if people talk English, they talk English, if they speak Korean they speak Korean. There are some shows that are actually supposed to be speaking Chinese or other languages, but they do that for 10 minutes and then switch to English to make it easier to follow. This is not one of those shows, and in my opinion it really adds to the authenticity of the overall atmosphere. The characters are well developed, and most importantly: it really is an engaging show. I really look forward to see more of it.
