The clichés were assembled and completed in a cliché: a well-made, but not freshly fun, obvious 'Narco-Saints'.
The Netflix OLizynal series "Narco-Saints" (director Yoon Jong-bin), which was first released on the 9th, is a Netflix series about a story of Civilians who were framed for being a no-nonsense Drug godfather who took control of the South American nation Narco-Saints accepting the secret mission of the NIS.
This is the first series directed by Yoon Jong-bin, who directed the film "War on Crime: The Bad Men's War" "The Archipelago: The Age of Civilization" and "The Duke". Actor Ha Jung-woo, director of the movie Yoon Jong-bin's long-time movie partner, and Hwang Jung-min, who worked with 'The Duke', also appeared in Park Hae Soo Jo Woo-jin.
Narco-Saints, based on Drug King, a Korean who took control of the actual Narco-Saints, was originally planned to be made into a film, but director Yoon Jong-bin turned to the six-part series. 'Narco-Saints', which has a total production cost of 35 billion won, has been considered as an anticipated work of the Korea OLizynal series that Netflix will show this year.
Among them, 'Narco-Saints' is impressive with the visuals completed with exotic scenery. In the aftermath of Corona 19, I left a regret for all locations abroad, but I completed the lively atmosphere and exotic scenery unique to South America through location shooting and CG, art and costumes in Jeju Island, Jeonju and Central Bank of the Dominican Republic. In particular, Jeju Island, Jeonju and the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic showed well-made productions that could not distinguish between the shoots.
OST, which adds to the tension of the Drama, is also one of the attractive elements of 'Narco-Saints'. It is so powerful that it wants to hear only OST, and the power of OST which falls just below the story development.
But the advantage is that there are many negative fActors in 'Narco-Saints', such as the stretching development and the story development that has already been shown to dry and wear out in Korean crime movies. First, it shows the development of a story that is not much different from the undercover water that has already been covered in many crime movies and Dramas. Director Yoon Jong-bin said that "Civilians' story of undercover in the operation of intelligence agencies" was a difference between "Narco-Saints", but this also offsets the difference with repeated story patterns. The story of a big story called gangin-gu, which uses all the numbers to survive from the constantly suspicious nymphlets and doubts, is repeated every time, so that the back story is expected from the middle of the play.
It is sparkling with the reversal that is revealed in the middle of the fifth, but the effect of the reversal is that far. The pattern of the repeated story again is so obvious that it is unreasonable to understand the story even if you press the button 10 seconds later.
It is also regrettable that the story of Netflix has a low understanding of the ott platform viewing environment. It shows the development of a quality-drawing story that does not match the viewing pattern of ott viewers who can not tolerate the boring development that the playback is basic. In particular, the description of the life history of gangin-gu, which is stretched like TMI in the first time, is stretched more than necessary and lowers the early immersion.
It is the first act of Ha Jung-woo and Hwang Jung-min, but it is cliché because it is an extension of the image that two people have already consumed in other works. This is why I have a sense of deja vu, a series of pictures that are so obvious that they are the first breaths, which I have already seen in the filmography of two people.
Jo Woo-jin and Park Hae Soo perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the eating box. In particular, the impact of the toilet seat Character, which Jo Woo-jin has Acted, is strong enough to penetrate the entire 'Narco-Saints'.
It is also a pity that the use of female Character is also. The female Character in 'Narco-Saints' is used as a tool to explain Jeon Yo-hwan's luxurious life, or is described as a reason why gangin-gu must return to Korea. It is a retrograde of the times that does not fit with the current trend these days.
It is 'Narco-Saints' that made these clichés more clichéd.
