“Narco-Saints” episode 6 review

WOW! That was a ride… an intense ride that had me on the edge of my seat…. Very well-acted, an amazing finale, and the best of all? It doesn’t tease a second season.

Watching the last scene of “Narco-Saints,” I was afraid Choi Chang-Ho was going to ask him to join them on a new mission or something. Glad that didn’t happen. I am also glad this wasn’t longer, 6 episodes were more than enough.

For an average Joe, Kang In-Gu is definitely ballsy. The dude went after Jeon Yo-Hwan to make sure he was arrested. I liked how he took initiative too.

From a performance angle, everyone gave their best. Hwang Jung-Min was truly amazing. I just HATED Jeon Yo-Hwan. He’s so infuriating and callas. He annoyed me beyond what an average kdrama character would because I know this is based on true events, so such a dude actually existed and did those things. When I tell you this frightened me, you have no idea…. its all fun and games until its ‘based on true events.’

“Narco-Saints” is the type of kdrama that would have never been made without Netflix’s help. We all have our issues with them but to be truthful, most of their Korean projects [specifically kdramas] are above average. I can tell a lot of hard work went into this and it makes me happy to see such an ambitious vision come true. Some of the best and biggest A-listers of Korean entertainment unite for one amazing project.

Neither Hwang Jung Min nor Ha Jung-Woo take on kdramas easily. Ha Jung-Woo’s last kdrama project [not a cameo] was in 2007. A great kdrama for a comeback to the small screen if you ask me.

I don’t know whether “Narco-Saints” will be very successful or not, its not an easy kdrama to watch, and not because its bad but because its VERY heavy in certain areas. Its difficult to stomach too, at times. I struggled at first but when the ball got rolling, it was a smooth ride.

I wouldn’t say this type of project attracts a good portion of those who watch kdramas based on my knowledge of the fandom, but I believe that whoever will end up watching will enjoy it. I hope this turns out to be a success. It deserves it.

Hwang Jung Min deserves the daesang for his acting in this drama.
