Narco Saints Is Next Sensational HIT FROM KOREAN INDUSTRY!!

I love the casting they picked for this show and the actors did a great job. It never got boring and always had you waiting to see what happens next!

I can recommend this show to anyone thinking about watching it! Go watch the show and I think you will love it.

If you like character chemistry, good pacing, lighthearted dry humours, all while delivering dark and well written script, this is an original to see.

A mix side after watching it.. .

Inspired by some events, this is well written and engaging.

Last i will definitely recommend.

South Korean cinema and television continues to impress with NARCO-SAINTS, a retitling of THE ACCIDENTAL NARCO now showing on Netflix. Like SQUID GAME before it, this is a limited TV miniseries which has the production values and expense of a movie, and it looks absolutely fantastic too. It tells the true story of a Korean pastor in Suriname who turned out to be a drug lord on the side. Hard to believe, but this perfectly-paced thriller packs in the realism for a gritty and suspenseful adventure. Ha Jung Woo is the perfect lead and supported by a couple of Korea's hottest stars, and together they shine, their performances underpinning typically exciting action bits.

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.

I think I watched half of this series with my eyes closed since I don't really like to watch violence, but I do like true stories so wanted to see it. Even with my eyes closed at some of the most violent scenes, the grotesque audio was enough to visualize in my head what was happening. The true story in itself is indicative of what really does go on out there, and unfortunately in this instance a private citizen unwittingly gets himself involved in a huge US DEA kingpin/drug bust operation because the Korean (lead male) went to the country innocently with his buddy to export/import some skate (seafood that looks like a stingray) which is a delicacy in Korea but gets thrown away in the South African country. They wind up getting getting caught in a scheme and getting involved in this operation when one of the investigation officials involves them w/o their knowledge with drugs on their boat. Of course they get caught and now they are in it for real. This was an operation that was reminiscent of the El Chapo bust. The characters were cast perfectly and the ending was satisfying.

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.
