Another plot twist is the revenge plot between Ares' Team A leader and Song Soo Hyun ( Ji Sung The Devil Judge 2021). What ends up happening with how Team A leader disposes of Soo Hyun's body in the ocean is still up for grabs and has fans reeling in their seats wondering if a season 2 is in the works! Check out some of the comments on Twitter! Many confused fans are wondering if Soo Hyun is alive or not since Ha Woo Shin (his twin brother) receives a mysterious letter saying Soo Hyun is still alive. We find that the ending falls flat leaving nothing new to the audience. We are left wondering if justice will be served as the Team A leader decides to face a court sentence instead of running. We are also not sure whether Eun Hye Soo will wield her power as the new CEO of Haesong Group to her advantage as well. The ending scene with Ha Woo Shin holding the real Adamas with a slight smile on his face suggests that there might be a continuation in the story. Let us know your thoughts on this drama!

#netflixdrama #narcosaints #parkhaesoo Popular Netflix 's Korean drug trafficking tv series Nacro-Saints has been issued a warning from the Suriname government regarding a "misleading portrayal of the country" on September 15. The small country of about 613,000 people on the northeast coast of South America has been the backdrop of the six-part series released on September 9. The Suriname government has threatened to take legal action against Netflix series producers stating the "negative portrayal of the country as a drug trafficking hub is unfair and puts the country at a disadvantage". Albert Ramdin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Monday, "Suriname no longer has the image that emerges in the series or no longer participates in these kinds of practices." He added, "the aspect of free speech must be taken into account, but it's about creating a negative perception the whole world sees these things, so this is not good" about the country's efforts in terminating criminal activities that were portrayed in the series. Narco-Saints is based on the true events of an ordinary Korean businessman, Kang In Gu ( Ha Jung Woo Ashfall 2019) who travels to Suriname for a business opportunity exporting skate (a type of local fish) back to Korea. While working on his business there, he encounters a local drug lord who uses his product for drug shipments. Things go awry between In Gu and the drug lord, "Pastor" Jeon Yo Hwan ( Hwang Jung Min The Spy Gone North 2018) as Chang Ho threatens In Gu to help him ship his cocaine into South Korea. Meanwhile, In Gu poses as an inside-man for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), a secret government agency, to catch Chang Ho. Although Foreign Minister Ramdin has said he is willing to take legal action against the series' producers for alleged defamation, Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "has not received any official complaint from Suriname since the series has been aired," and that it is "trying to maintain friendly relations" with the South American country. Narco-Saints is currently ranked third globally in Netflix's TV series. It is the most watched show in eight regions and the 5th most popular series in the United States. Our thoughts. This is a very intriguing show as it shows the life of an ordinary businessman willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his family. Although he doesn't agree with the strategies and methods used by the NIS, he is still determined to make it back home to his wife and children. The acting by the two main characters, Choi In Gu and Jeon Yo Hwan are marvelous! Hwang Jung Min has really pulled off the Korean pastor's look and voice! From a pure entertainment value, we feel this show is a must-watch! Let us know your thoughts about this situation! Should Korea issue a statement of apology? Or since it's a television show, nothing will happen. Source: 1
