Published on June 30, 2024, at 10:31 PM by the editor of the supplement. 'The Drug Lord Saint' is a TV series adaptation based on real events, following the protagonist Jiang Renjiu (played by Ha Jung-woo) who gets inadvertently involved in drug smuggling and goes undercover for the National Intelligence Service beside the big drug lord Quan Yaohuan. The story unfolds with violence, bloodshed, mafia conflicts, and government-business collusion. The portrayal of the undercover operation excels, adding depth to the plot, while the character Quan Yaohuan impresses with his charismatic and sinister performance, making the show's tone captivating. The betrayal of Bin Jitai, who joins the pastor's camp after defecting from a Chinese gang, shines as a standout element, contrasting with the somewhat weak role of the gang leader Chen Zhen. The central plot of drug busting concludes, yet leaves room for unresolved issues, particularly concerning the fate of the pastor's controlled followers and the lingering impact of faith-based toxins on the human spirit.
