Analysis:
It's an extremely engaging and interesting series with enough twists and turns in the plot and a fantastic climax.
The directions of both drama and action sequences are quite good.
The cinematography is also good, specially the aerial shots.
The editing is smooth.
Ha Jung-woo as the civilian businessman has acted with good balance of fear and grit. Most of his acting is depicted via thinking and contemplating in silence. He has nabbed that well. Plus, he has good star presence.
Actually, in real life, he is a superstar in his country.
Hwang Jung-min has aced the role of the smooth talking, wise and cunning drug lord who easily shifts into the role of a pious Pastor with soft demeanor but powerful oratory skills.
In real life, he is also a popular and successful star in his country.
Jo Woo-jin as the drug lord's stoic and extremely lanky right hand man with poker faced expression and amazing combat skills is quite impressive.
No wonder in real life, he is an in-demand character actor, in South Korean films and TV series.
Rest of the cast has also performed quite well. But the performances of the aforementioned three actors clearly stood out.
Narco-Saints, the South Korean webseries is a good watch!!
