"Narco Saints" is not my cup of tea kind of drama series, but I was attracted to watch the series since "Narco Saints" is loosely based on a true story and the cast are all top actors and I really like their performance in the movies.

Kang In Gu (portrayed by actor Ha Jung Woo) is a good son from a poor hard-working family. When he is in school, he takes up Judo so that he is provided with meals to eat. Eventually, he is very good in Judo. However, he is left alone to take care of his two younger siblings when his parents die. He works hard to provide for his younger siblings, and he decides to marry any girls so that the wife could help him clean the house. A girl, Hye Jin (portrayed by Choo Ja Hyun) answers his letter, and they get married, the have blissful wedded life with two children.

In Gu's childhood friend, Park Eung Soo (portrayed by Hyun Bong Shik) tells him about Suriname and they could do business in importing skate fish. Much to his wife's chagrin, In Gu goes to Suriname,and starts a trading skate trading company and meets Pastor Jeon Yo Hwan (portrayed by Hwang Jung Min). His first shipment to Korea is ruined since the fish are stuffed with cocaine. In Gu is incarcerated for two years for "smuggling" cocaine that he does not commit. While in prison, he is approached by NIS agent, Choi Chang Ho (portrayed by Park Hae Soo). Agent Choi wants him to be his field informant and approach Pastor Jeon who is the cocaine distributor that stuffed In Gu's fish shipment with cocaine.

I continue watching the series even though it is a gory series that I usually avoid, only because Actor Ha Jung Woo delivers a superb performance. Also, I want to see the ending when he is reunited with his loving wife and doting children. Character In Gu speaks "Engrish" with ease. However, other leading characters' performance go downhill when they speak English.

Enjoy the show.
