Netflix releases official trailer for highly anticipated crime-thriller series ‘Narco-Saints’

Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming star-studded Korean drama “Narco-Saints."

Directed by Yoon Jong-bin, the crime-thriller is led by two of South Korea’s highest-grossing movie stars: Ha Jung-woo and Hwang Jung-min. The two are working together for the first time for the series but have individually worked with the director in his hit movies “Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time” and “The Spy Gone North,” respectively.

In “Narco-Saints,” Kang In-gu (Ha) is an entrepreneur who gets himself unwittingly involved in a drug smuggling operation while seeking out a business opportunity in Suriname and ends up being framed by the area’s powerful drug lord, Jeon Yo-hwan (Hwang).

“Narco-Saints” also sees the return of Park Hae-soo to Netflix after starring in the hit shows “Squid Game” and “Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area.” Park takes on the role of Choi Chang-ho, a National Intelligence Service agent who ropes Kang into a government operation to catch Jeon just as he’s about to begin his prison sentence.

Yoo Yeon-seok (“Hospital Playlist”), Jo Woo-jin ("Alienoid," "Happiness") and Taiwanese actor Chang Chen (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) round out the supporting cast.

Director Yoon shared, “While writing the script, I thought it was like a kind of mafia game. It will be exciting to see characters with two different sides.”

The new trailer provides a glimpse into the series’ intense action sequences, leaving viewers on edge as the voice of Jeon is heard asking Kang: “Do we still have the goal in mind?”
